Warhawk Director Leaves Incognito
Jobe leaves. We are sad. Jobe gets another job. We are happy. Jobe signs a deal. We are smug.Published 23/03/2009 at 14:30 by Pixl1983
It’s no secret that we love Warhawk here at TSA Towers. It’s a testament to Incognito’s skill that this title is still loved by so many a year a half after it’s release. Today we hear news that the director of Incognito, Dylan Jobe, has decided to leave Incognito and start up a new studio, LightBox Interactive.
Using his previous experience at Incognito, Jobe will continue his relationship with Sony signing a exclusive PS3 deal to last a number of years. Hopefully, with Dylan’s excellent experience in online gaming through Warhawk and Twisted Metal Black, we could be seeing something in a similar vein.
Good luck to you Jobe, all the best in your new endeavors. Now where’s my Warhawk 2 Incognito?

That explains why he twittered that today was going to be a big day!

I hope he makes a game similar to Warhawk except with better graphics, better customisations, same ranking up system but not insane amount of points needed.

Yep, true, mind you if it were less points we’d all be Generals after a week and the ability filtering on games would be pointless!

On a vaguely related subject:
Is there still going to be a price cut for Warhawk?

They’ll probably time one to coincide with the Warhawk space making it to the EU Home.

I can’t believe this.
I’ve followed Jobe’s tweets like a hawk since one of you lot got me addicted to Twitter.
I eat, sleep & shit Warhawk and I was out at a meeting when this breaks!
I know Dylan’s working on something because he’s in and out of presentation & meeting all the time, I was hoping it would WarHawk 2.
I’m not sure who owns the IP to Warhawk, but if it is Incognito Entertainement Inc, then does this cast a shadow on the ability to churn out a sequel?
I am now officially worried.
Good luck

Actually Warhawk is plastered all over this site, so hopefully a sequel shouldn’t be too much problem

Although on their front page it says Trademarks are the copyright of their respective owners…

According to the smallprint at the bottom of http://www.us.playstation.com/Warhawk/
Warhawk is a trademark of SCEA, so I guess they can get whoever they want to develop games in the Warhawk franchise, be it Incognito (if it still exists) or Lightbox, or anyone else…

Fuck yeah, that’s more like it! Banging news Kevling!
I am absolutely hanging out for a decent space flight combat sim (well, Elite is fave all time game) so until Braben finally lays The Outsider to rest & starts on Elite 4, then bring it on!
