After the failure of the Warhawk spiritual successor, Starhawk –Â seriously, what happened there? – we thought that Warhawk, which remains one of the finest multiplayer experiences this generation, would be left to die.
And in some ways, that’s true – the studio have moved on to other, smaller projects and split away from Sony, though in his mind, the concept for the game is there, it just needs a pile of cash thrown on it from Sony’s end.
Kickstarter wouldn’t work though, it’s “too expensive” he says, on his twitter feed:
@ThePaulCollett Warhawk community is awesome! But the budget required for my Warhawk 2 concept would be too expensive for KickStarter :-/

He goes on to say that he’s not sure if Sony would be interested, but he definitely seem enthusiastic about the sequel himself. Nevertheless, a sequel on PS4 would surely be fantastic. Let’s hope Sony see that while Starhawk didn’t take off, Warhawk 2 certainly would.

OMG! Yes!!
TBH I’d even just love Warhawk DLC
As for Starhawk’s failures, some design choices made it very unbalanced but it was still a blast.
Sony sending titles out to die also didn’t help, see Puppeteer’s launch to see how much they learnt from failures of Twisted Metal, Starhawk, God of War Ascension & a dozen Move titles.
But, Fuck yes… A Warhawk 2

Starhawk was weird for me. The beta was fantastic and perfectly balanced in my opinion, but when the final product came out, it just seemed off. Some of the weapons, pickups and perks just ruined certain aspects of the gameplay, and I’ve hardly played the game in months now.
A shame, as I actually quite enjoyed the single player mode, and would love to see a return to the Warhawk setting with a proper campaign mode.

I’d buy whatever console this was on.

I like many others purchased the PS3 console because of WarHawk.It’s the only game i play and see no point in purchasing a PS4 unless an actual sequel to WH is made. Lets hope.

What surprises me is there are still Warhawk servers running & it’s how old now? Regardless, I know a few that are still playing this, it was & I guess still is great fun. Oddly Planetside 2 reminds me a lot of Warhawk.

No marketing will do that.

Warhawk was one of the best multiplayer experiences this gen (after they sorted out the frustrating opening issues in the first few weeks after launch)
Closely followed by Resistance1
Would love a warhawk2, sadly wouldn’t get to play it though as refuse to pay for online gaming (principle, not cost).
No other online games have captured me quite as much as those 2

Starhawk…some of the worst multiplayer games I’ve ever come across. I never played Warhawk, but from all the great reviews, I’d hope a sequel would be more like that rather than Starhawk.

I disliked Starhawk, unlike Warhawk it felt dead, the digital version took ages to to be on the store and in general the gameplay felt disappointing.I guess Sony’s “marketing” didn’t really help.
I’d love to see a sequel to Warhawk long as its like.. Warhawk but its probably impossible in these times.

One of the best multiplayer games I’ve ever played. It had one hell of a learning curve but once you were past that it was brilliant. I would love a proper sequel to Warhawk…so shut up and take my money!

Loved Warhawk, didnt play Satrhawk but i felt disappointed it strayed so far from WH.
One of my fave ps3 games ever, although i havent played it for many a year now, didnt even realise it was still going tbh
