Interesting looking game and it seems like it's bringing something new to the stale shooter genre. Will keep an eye on this.

Edit: Strange...It shows me as second yet I still completed the quest. Well, yay for me.

I didn't know Santa Monica was co-developing this game, maybe the single player campaign will be good. I like how the aircrafts transform into bipedal robots then back again and also curious whether the campaign will be level based or open world.

Yes! Loved Warhawk, this looks like genuine evolution. Would have liked to have seen some space battles though.

This guy does a fantastic job at making the story sound incredibly stupid. Looks like fun though.

I'm loving everything I am seeing in this game


@JetForceGemini: How is that?  Sounds decent to me.  Would you rather have a space marine killing random aliens for no reason? Or dudes with cow necks killing random underground aliens?

The "western frontier town in space" concept art reminds me of an old cartoon called BraveStarr.

I also see the Red Faction thing going on. So the concepts of Brutal Legend (RTS meets action game), mixed with the visuals of Red Faction, with the gameplay of Warhawk.

I would rather have the rumored seamless space to surface battles than this build and battle thing, but it sounds good anyway.

Warhawk was pretty fun.  This looks pretty neat, and I especially like the building base aspect.

First time I played Warhawk, I didn't know what the hell was going on.  But the complexity of the game gave it so much depth and made it so rewarding.  And they were very open to feedback and listening to the community, so I expect them to do a helluva job here.

Can't wait for this, gonna be awesome.

Actually looks like a lot of fun. Never actually played a Warhawk game before, though, so I'm not sure what to expect with the actual gameplay.

This looks pretty fun, though like most MP games, heavily dependent on the uptake rates. Hopefully the single player is strong so I can justify it's purchase.

Might have to find a copy of Warhawk if it's anything like this.

I have a feeling the single player won't be as fleshed out as it could be.

Damn. This guy just goes.

Comes off as a bit arrogant, but also incredibly passionate about the game.

Whew, the must-buy games keep piling up. Warhawk is in my top three multiplayer games of all time. Not only is this a sequel to that but they even expanded and added a ton of new concepts. I hope it's incredible and I hope it gives this franchise the exposure it deserves.

I'd advise this guy to tell those fucking gamers to fuck the fucking fuck off. Gamers wanting this, Players demanding that. Bunch of efffing whinetits. Fuck em.

 

I'm not familiar with this game series, and what it's draw is, but from the comments it seems to resonate with some ppl.
