Starhawk, Motorstorm 3 This Week?

This year’s GDC could be one hell of an event for Sony if all the rumours turn out to be true.  LBP2, Arc and now this: Starhawk and Motorstorm 3.  Yes, you heard right, although we’re heavily labeling this a rumour, as it’s all from an N4G forum member and could well turn out to be based on nothing.

However, apparently there’s footage of Starhawk that might well find its way onto Sony’s live feed of their conference.  “We thought it was MS3 here at the tilt, but since have been shown new footage of Starhawk and we are about 80% positive it’s Starhawk now,” quotes this forum thread.

“The trailer we’ve seen has a central planet where a battle is taking place, a black ship with red boosters lifts off and jumps into space, one movement and animation, and engauges in a dogfight with a massive fleet of other ships.”

“Way more than 32, believe me. More like 100, but don’t quote me on the exact number.”

“One ship lands on the deck of a larger battleship thing and a guy jumps out. He has a laser rifle. He shoots out a node on the side of the ship. Ship starts rocking. At this time a massive amount of other ships storm the larger battle ship and start hitting it in sweeps. Guy jumps off the ship’s landing and rocket boost away as the ship explodes.”

“The MS3 trailer will be shown off at GDC next week,” the source concludes. “It looks amazing, by the way.  As for Starhawk, what we’ve seen, Star Wars has little on it. It looks intense and epic.”

So, to be clear, this is unsubstantiated but we’re so excited about the prospect of follow ups to the still-fantastic Warhawk and the awesome fun of Motorstorm that we thought you might be too. All eyes on Sony for what we hope will be a stellar GDC.
