Warhawk Goes Gold


+ Posted by Dylan Jobe // Game Director, Warhawk



Hi Everyone – It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, but since some of you guys posted comments wanting me to jump back on, *and* the very interesting pricing debate/discussion that has been going on recently, well … here I am with a couple of important updates!?
First off, has Warhawk gone “gold”??
Hells Ya! The PSN and Blu-ray versions have gone “GOLD,” completely finished and will go on sale August 28th … just a few weeks away! We’re all really proud of the game, and those of you who got a chance to participate in the BETA know why. We can’t wait to get online with all of you so we can beat the hell out of each other!
Next, what does Warhawk cost?
Ready for this? One Million dollars!
Ok, now for reals … If you didn’t already know, SCEA is taking an exciting new approach with Warhawk – making it available for download directly from the PlayStation Store *and* releasing it at retail simultaneously. Each one has a different price. Why different pricing? A couple of reasons: first off, we wanted to give all of you the option, the retail game is more of a premium version with some expanded video content, traditional package and manual (this seems to mean a lot with some of the gamers I have spoken to), and a Jabra Bluetooth headset bundled with the game – all for $59.99!
We’re also looking at including a set of Ginsu knives, and an extra-jumbo tub of Oxy-Clean!
Alright … I’m lying about the knives and the Oxy-Clean … Oxy-Clean does work really well though and I highly recommend it.
Anyhoo, back on track ….
The PlayStation Store version will be $39.99 and I’m really glad that SCEA came through with a “good value” price for this – it’s the right thing to do.
I’m a firm believer in the Google founders’ moto “Don’t be Evil” and the $39.99 PlayStation Store price is a good example of that.
Warhawk is a great looking, great playing multiplayer game but at the end of the day, it’s a multiplayer-only game and if you decide not to get the premium version at retail with the headset, this is a great option for you – at a great price.
Like I said previously, those of you who’ve had a chance to play Warhawk, know how good it is, and why a game that is fun to play for 70+ hours offers more gameplay than a lot of single player games that cost a great deal more.
…and yes, that’s just one of the statistics that is tracked by Warhawk’s Stat system. During the BETA we saw users log crazy high numbers – 70 was by far *not* the largest … most users had over 30 and we had to ultimately turn the servers off!. Who knows how high those numbers would be if we were to keep the BETA open?
Speaking of the BETA, I’d like to let you guys know that we were watching the Warhawk Statistics database during the BETA, looking for the top players. We ultimately used the Bonus Points category since it covers all play modes, levels, vehicles, troops, weapons, kill types, etc.
So…for the top 100 players, we have prepared a “Top-BETA-Players” award that you will be receiving in the mail soon. It includes a really nice print of the box-art, signed by the team *and* a very, very limited edition metal Warhawk Wings pin! So guys and gals, please keep your eyes out for this in the coming weeks!
Well that’s all for now. Hopefully that was informative.
I think for my next post, I’d like to show all you guys some of the great work that our IT-Team has been doing “behind-the-curtain”. Since Warhawk is a multiplayer-only game, for those of you who choose to play online, I think it would be good for you to see some of the server work that we have done since the BETA closed.
As always – Rock on!

Wenn es hier keine Playstationstore Version gibt sollen die auch Warhawk ohne headset in den Handel bringen.
Ich habe kein Bock das Headset mit zu bezahlen wenn ich schon eins habe.
 
Wie keine Offline Version ohne Headset? Ich hoffe das bleibt nicht so ansonsten kein Warhawk für mich aber 40$ gebe ich für ein Spiel ohne Packung und Disk nicht aus.
 
Was für ein geiles spiel die bilder überzeugen mich wirklich. Ich werde mir auch die version mit dem headset kaufen.
 
Hab schon das Jabra BT 130. Was soll ich dann noch mit nem vorgänger modell? Naja egal Kreditkarte hab ich nicht, dann hol ichs mir wohl auch nicht sofort.
 
Wie das??
läuft dann die PS3 als dedicated??

Ja, die Function gab es schon in der Beta. Du kannst eine PS3, die optimalerweise an einer dicken Standleitung hängt als reinen dedicated Server konfigurieren. Das ist für Clanwars und Clanserver sicher sehr gut. Für normale Spiele zwischendurch, kann jeder auf seiner PS3 auch normale Server eröffnen und dann selber mitspielen. Der Masterserver testet dann deine Internetverbindung und legt fest wieviel Spieler maximal connecten dürfen.

Es wäre auch super, wenn Incognito auch eine Linux-Version des dedicated Servers rausbringen würde. Dann könnte man viele bestehende Clanserver verwenden. Das sind eben die Vorteile der offenen PSN-Infrastruktur.
 
In ein paar Jahren wird Sony den Warhawk Server schließen und dann kannst du das Spiel wegschmeißen. Genauso wie Twist and Metal Black online für PS2


Dann wird das Spiel halt gar nicht gekauft aber für 40$ will ich was in der Hand haben. Ein Bluetooth Headset brauche ich nicht denn ich habe schon 2 die den Dienst verweigern. Also kein Warhawk für mich es sei denn man bekommt eine Disc Version ohne Headset.
 
man kann ja PSN Titel mit 6 Freunden teilen, also 7 mal saugen und nur 1 mal bezahlen

wird das auch mit Warhawk möglich sein? Wenn ja, dann könnte man das Game wirklich günstig bekommen :)
