Re: Starhawk (PS3)

Has anyone got their code to work? Mine still says it's invalid. I'm guessing they haven't launched the open beta yet......i hope.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the retail gets pushed back to the 2nd quarter of 2012.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

This Tuesday The Private Beta goes Live...

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/11/18/starhawk-private-beta-begins-rolling-out-tuesday/

After many, many months of hard work we are happy to announce that the Starhawk Private Beta will be live on PSN beginning Tuesday, November 22nd! As you may have read in Dylan’s last PlayStation.Blog post, a selected a number of loyal Warhawk players who have opted-in to receive PlayStation emails will receive Private Beta keys, so if you played Warhawk there’s a chance that you’ll have a voucher invitation in your email in the upcoming weeks! If you don’t get on day one, don’t get discouraged: our Private Beta will be “slow rolled.” That means that we’ll slowly add more fans and features as the Private Beta progresses.

Making a game is hard work, but it’s also a lot of fun! To show you what I mean, check out this new Behind the Scenes video to give you an inside look at the SCEA Santa Monica/LightBox Interactive working life! We really, really appreciate the Warhawk faithful joining us in our Beta efforts. Hopefully this video will give you all some insight into our day to day lives. You Warheads are always at the forefront of our thoughts, as you will see.

How to Gain Access to the Starhawk Private Beta

We’ll be looking to unlock the door for registered players later on in the Private Beta. Fans that want to get in but may not get an invite can increase their chances by registering on the official site. Remember, we can’t send you Private Beta keys unless you have opted-in to receive them. Check out this Beta FAQ page for more info. We’ll also be working with great partners like G4, IGN, GameSpot, GameTrailers, 1UP, Kotaku, WIRED, USA Today, CNET, Maxim, and TIME (just to name a few) to make sure there are even more chances for you to get into the Private Beta. Even our community manager, HawkStar Jay, has a handful he’s itching to give away, so stay tuned for more details!

Finally, if you have a Starhawk Public Beta voucher from UNCHARTED 3, you are guaranteed access in early 2012. We’ll have even more features, game modes, guns, weapons, and general goodness to show during that next Beta phase.

Congratulations to those of you fans that got (or will get) an invite, we love your enthusiasm and loyalty. We don’t think of a Private Beta as a privilege for you. You’re doing us a favor and helping to create Starhawk…and we thank you.

Warheads….have fun! Everyone else, stay tuned! We’ve got a lot more in our bag o’ tricks!

That's correct. Warhawk was only MP.

No, but I want to be in the worst possible way.

Ah, I know that on the facebook page they were posting Beta codes last Tuesday and I think they'll do so again tomorrow. My brother and I managed to get one (it's under his account).

I want to post impressions about this game based on the Beta, but I also want to see what they'll add on or change during the Beta. So far it plays pretty good although some tweaks can be made (weapon switching speed). Hawks are still deadly, but they are more vulnerable in mech mode to ground troops and the counters for them are more effective than in Warhawk, mainly the beam turret. Ground warfare and control is more important in this game than it was in Warhawk I think.

Re: Starhawk (PS3)

How are the 3rd person behind the shoulder controls? Are they still inverted like they were in Warhawk?

It's been a couple of days since I've played the Beta, but I don't think the controls are inverted as a soldier, only when you're flying in the hawk I believe. There are some changes in the control, such as circle being the button to hop onto vehicles, holding x to change seats in the razorback (the 4x4), triangle which loads up your build-n-battle menu. Holding R2 allows you to sprint and you can move the camera with your R3 stick.
