PS3 Warhawk in trouble?

Development on Sony's PS3 air-combat game has "stalled completely", cite internet reports
Citing an anonymous source, website Rumour Reporter has claimed that development on a "high profile title for the PlayStation 3" has "stalled completely", and could change from a full-fledged retail release to a chopped-up download on the PS3's online store.

The title in question is widely assumed to be Incognito's PS3 update of Warhawk, which has seemingly gone AWOL since it was shown in hands-on form at last year's E3.

Responding to the rumours David 'God of War drunkard' Jaffe - who was recently at the studio working on Calling All Cars! - said, "So just because some disgruntled ex-worker- who thought the game should have been made HIS way- is now getting his 15 minutes by spouting off to some news source, does not mean he is bringing any meat to the table in terms of valid information. It may be TRUE information in terms of a game having been down a tough road, but again- that is par for the course."

A Sony spokesperson told CVG that they were "not aware of any problems" with Warhawk's development, but we'll report back once we get any futher updates.

More good news on the PS3 front then... Rolling Eyes
falloutwarchief on 17 Jan '07
I've heard this from a lot of places, but apparently 4 levels plus a mini multiplayer part were finished before the walkout.
At least that much could be released as a playable demo (looked like a fun game at CES 2006). Confused

Well Well Well Falloutwarchief what a suprise to see you on a PS3 news fourm! if you spent the time to READ the article you would see that it is just a rumor and not hard core fact! Now get your ass back to the 360 fourms and stop posting crap on the PS3 fourms trying to turn people to the "GreenSide" its not going to work you just look sad. Anyway i cant wait to get this game and with any hope it will be out with the PS3 in march.

The Article Comments forum is not PS3-specific, you know...

I agree it's a free comments section and anyone can reply.

I commented on this story because I really did think that Warhawk looked fun on the PS3. I'm also a very happy Xbox360 gamer, So if that puts me on the "greenside" then so be it. Rolling Eyes
steve_2003 on 17 Jan '07
I think English_Crusader is starting to feel a tad bullied. Well if Sony looked after their fanboys, there would be no cause to take the p**s. Hahahaaaa.

Seems par for the course these days, 1st Gran Turismo, now Warhawk. Oh well, no great loss eh.

Well Well Well Falloutwarchief what a suprise to see you on a PS3 news fourm, etc. etc.

Hey, I do what I can. Smile
But geez n00b, try spending more than 5 days on the forum here before trying to tell me the rules! Mad

Ah, I'm only joking, but yes these topics where you share your opinion on news articles throughout the day are not platform specific, just opinions on the actual article.
Also I did read the article, of course I don't comment on things if I don't actually know about them.

You don't seem to like me because of my views on Sony, but surely one day our paths will cross on a non-"Sony f**ked up again" topic and we will have a nice jovial discussion filled with friendly banter, sunshine and rainbows.
What I mean is I'm not solely here for the purpose of badmouthing Sony as you seem to think, though will take any opportunity that arises. I'm here for the games in general and was not actually a Sony hater until PS3 was announced.
I own a PS1, PSone, PS2, PStwo, and a PSP along with my Xboxen, Gamecuben/Wiizen, D-essen, Dreamcasten, PeeCees... everything really. Lets discuss those instead!
falloutwarchief on 17 Jan '07
This is a free forum, we're all gamers, and we can comment on anything we like, if you dont like it crusader, tough luck dude, best bet is to go find a sony fanboy forum.

I think its a shame development of this is proving difficult, its not neccessarily anything to do with the PS3 though, developing good games for any platform is challenging at the best of times.
funkyjack on 17 Jan '07
Back to the Sony Bashing though (cos its more fun), I've just been reading on http://stuff.tv/news/id-4605/ that sony have shot themselves in the foot again, by banning all porn manufacturers from using Blu-Ray.... They did the same with Beta Max and look what happened to that.

I was really looking forward to the PS3 until they f**ked it all up

I dont hate you i just dont see why you hate sony so much and by the look of things you REALLY want to see them fall from grace! If you hate sony so much why look at and read playstation news? and just to show that we do agree on some things i agree with you 100% that Halo is a very avarage game and is pure over hyped. Anyway i like a bit of banter with the 360 fanboys like i said in a year from now we will see which console comes out on top! (where is seedaripper when you need him Very Happy )

A rumour website citing an anonymous source, lmao proof that people on the web will believe anything.

P.S falloutwarchief you are without doubt the most aggressive person on these forums!! I mean calm down dude, we get your point the PS3 is crap, your opinion is fine but you make the same general sony-bashing comments every post...I mean yawnnnn. Its great seeing everyone from different camps posting on topics but try and at least approach them with an open and objective mind!

Yeah like Micrsoft look after you! do they back you up? do they come round your house and tuck you into bed at night and read you a bed time story? Anyone who thinks microsoft look after their customers is living in a fairy tale dream world with pixes and dancing leprechauns
English_Crusader on 17 Jan '07
hahaha falloutwarchief is a c**k gobler, why do you have a hard on for sony and the word "fanboy"?

Now I never said Micrsoft looked after you, but at least they dont single out the European Market to sh1t on, they crap on everyone across the world equally Wink

Welcome to the forums, I can see your contribution is set to prove invaluable. Rolling Eyes

I have never used the term "fanboy" by the way.

Almost as invaluable as your contributions Wink Anyway i think colonelkurtz makes a very good point. Back to the point on Warhawk this story is just a rumor! Warhawk will come out (in march i hope) and take a huge crap on anything the 360 has to offer and that is a FACT!!
English_Crusader on 17 Jan '07
Lets hope so eh, or you'll look like a bit of an idiot. Just as the 360 fans will look equally as dumb if the PS3 does well.

PS, just saw the new story about PS3 being delayed again until April. See what I mean about Sony being unfair to the European market. There are surplus PS3's in the states now, cos no-one wants them, and we get delayed another month. Great.
voodoocharlie on 17 Jan '07
If I was a potential PS3 owner I certainly wouldn't be loosing any sleep over Warhawk wether it makes an appearance or not.

Did you guys see the Warhawk preview earlier in the week?!?

Dog rotten!! Laughing

Before anyone says it, yes I am a bit of a graphics whore but I don't see a problem in that. Personally I think great visuals can enhance a game no end.

PS. Don't even bother bashing me with the usual, gameplay over graphics stuff. Obviously I prefer great gameplay but if developers can't marry the two in this current gen then I might as well go back to my SNES. Great graphics should be par for the course this time round, is that too much to ask?

just like the beta-max your tale is 'old' Laughing
do you read these topics??that story is over a week old and you try to stir up s**t by regurgitaing it? Rolling Eyes
poor...

p.s...lol english-crusader, im never too far away Wink

p.p.s threespeech (again)
"There has also been speculation flying around that Warhawk may be cancelled. We can confirm that this is categorically not true. Warhawk is currently scheduled for a June 07 release in the UK. "

apparently, cvg has found a sure fire way to gain traffic on its website and forums by posting every other rumour maligning sony and ps3 as a 'news story'

Since CVG does not have a habit of clearing negative false rumours here's an update. This has been confirmed as a false rumour by Sony. They also stated that a release date along with new material is available within a month.
