flameboy Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Been meaning to post this ages, back in the days there used to be a ton of great space combat games Wing Commander, Elite & Frontier (granted more than just combat) Free Space, X Wing Series and countless others... It seems crazy used to be a great genre...only recent examples have been the Rogue Squadron games and Lylat Wars (the space levels in that have never been matched by the recent entries in the genre) But low and behold today in a strange twist of coincidence Sony have copyrighted the title Starhawk which is being touted as a spin off/expansion for warhawk... http://www.destructoid.com/rumortoid-will-starhawk-be-warhawk-in-space--128652.phtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 More importantly, and this does tie in, where the fuck is my Battlestar Galactica game?!Not the shitty XBL one. I NEED it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shino Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 It got gobbled up by the bald space marine genre. Am I the only one to see the possibilities of a online space shooter? Edit: Duh, Sony did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's just wierd I find that it vanished....much like the point and click genre (now having a bit of revival on DS, Wii and of course PC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan_Dare Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 basically: Freespace 2 came out, the genre (and gaming) peaked. Nobody could make a better game and they gave in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 The last 'Space Combat' game I recall playing was Stellar Assault, you need a Sega 32X to play it - or a japanese Saturn - but if you're a fan of the genre then it's definitely worth picking up if you can find it.

Aimless Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 More importantly, and this does tie in, where the fuck is my Battlestar Galactica game?!Not the shitty XBL one. I NEED it. There was one on the Xbox and PS2 as well. I'm fairly certain you don't want — much less need — that one either, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jordan Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Isn't Warhawk supposed to be going into space or something? Sony patented (or trademarked?) SpaceHawk recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 STARHAWK come to me! It'll be a mix if its like the last Warhawk though. : peace: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 (edited) I could still never grasp the controls in WarHawk and I gave it a solid chance. I hope StarHawk has a single player this time. Or maybe story based online missions so you could be either side. Basically, for a BSG game I want this, Edited April 15, 2009 by Daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
