Warhawk PS3
From WikiCover
On August 28, 2007, Sony Computer Entertainment America announced the North American release of the highly anticipated title Warhawk, available exclusively for PlayStation3 (PS3). In Warhawk, players experience fast and dynamic multi-modal warfare, featuring white-knuckle aerial combat, armored vehicle assaults and frantic infantry combat in a massive war fought both in the skies and on the ground. In a first for the game industry, Warhawk is available to consumers both in retail stores on Blu-ray Disc (BD) and as a downloadable title via PlayStationNetwork.
A remake to the original PlayStation hit of the same name, Warhawk was developed by Incognito Entertainment, the acclaimed studio behind the Twisted Metal franchise and cult-favorite War of the Monsters. Warhawk is a multi-player only title, supporting up to 32 players battling at once for both online and offline play. Furthermore, Warhawk's QuickSplit technology allows up to four players to battle simultaneously on a single PS3 -- either online or offline -- with the press of a button. Featuring various multiplayer gameplay modes such as Team Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and a new Zone Mode designed specifically for Warhawk, players can engage in strategic team play or fend for themselves against a barrage of enemies from around the globe. Offering a full online feature set, players can also join teams or maintain clans within the Warhawk online community. Full stats, rankings, leaderboards, badges and other awards are supported and reward players for success on the battlefield. Players can also stay organized online with user-friendly communication tools.
Warhawk takes advantage of PS3's immense processing power in a variety of unique ways. For example, the Cell Broadband Engine -- the digital heart of PS3 -- provides the player an enhanced visual scope by rendering long viewing distances when in flight mode, resulting in a level of feature density unmatched in the genre. Furthermore, unlike the traditional server model, Warhawk allows players to use PS3s in their homes as global servers to host online games. This helps ensure that along with the SCEA servers, players can access consumer-hosted, community servers that are available to players around the world.
