Link: Rumored details leaked back in April:

We spoke to a Sony employee who, understandably, wished to remain anonymous. He confirmed to us that a sequel to Warhawk is indeed real, having been in development for a number of years now. It's official title is 'Starhawk'. What follows are all the details we gathered;

• Starhawk will be revealed before E3 2011 - in fact, mid May is the current date for the official public outing.
  
• The game remains a PS3 exclusive. However, Starhawk will ship only on Blu-ray, rather being a digital title on PSN, and available as a physical disc, like Warhawk.
  
• The main gameplay elements remain much the same. Starhawk is a third-person shooter, with jeeps, APCs, tanks, and now spaceships.
  
• According to our source, you cannot fly from a planet into space. Some maps are set on a planet, with dogfights taking place in the air, while others are in space, with small areas for ground combat. The game is still set in another universe, so Earth will not feature.
  
• The game will retain the slightly cartoonish visuals - no ultra-gritty reboot in sight.
  
• Starhawk runs on a brand new engine that provides stunning visuals, explaining the jump from digital title to Blu-ray disc.
  
• While the main body of the game is still online multiplayer, there is a single-player component.
  
• Starhawk is the game Dylan Jobe can't wait to talk about.

Link: Sony trademarked Starhawk back in 2009

Sony America has trademarked the name "Starhawk", adding weight to rumours that Warhawk creator Dylan Jobe's newly-formed LightBox Interactive studio is taking the series into space.

You're assuming PSN won't still be down.

You're missing reallllllllll sarcasm.

Sounds good. Warhawk was a fun title.

Was Warhawk the first great PS3 game that most PS3 owners missed out on? I feel like I hear how awesome it was, yet I don't know a single person who played it.

 

[KNUBB]

I loved me some Warhawk. I was a baws in a plane.

 

[strahanfan92]

I played the shit out of the beta... never bought the game though, not sure why..




TBH if Playstation could knock it out of the park with phenomenal controls, movement and gameplay, this could be one of the greatest game of this generation.

Relax... lol

I only played the PS1 Warhawk. Back then it was cool and not mainstream.
/hipster

 

[KNUBB]

It would be a stretch to call the PS3 Warhawk mainstream.

 

[strahanfan92]

Relax... lol

Greatest game was the wrong choice of words. I meant addicting blockbuster Call of Duty sell millions type.

I doubt it would. It just doesn't have the branding. Call of Duty literally sells because of the brand, cuz we all know CoD is trash when it comes to gameplay.

When you say we all you mean just you right?

Common knowledge.

 

[BrntO4Life]

When you say we all you mean just you right?

I'm also aware of it.

I actually have it and regret not playing it more. It was fun as shit and when I did play it the servers were packed. It seemed like it had a pretty hardcore community. I have no idea if that is still the case but I doubt it.

Edit; Actually, who knows. The Warhawk board over at Gamefaqs still seems to be pretty active, which is amazing considering that it's an online only game and PSN has been down for closing in on three weeks.

The sheep still love it. The same people that rushed out and bought a Kinect, the latest iPhone, a Nintendo DS, etc.
