The Full Story On Warhawk PS3

TimC writes "1up has up a really fantastic interview with Dylan Jobe, the director of Warhawk for PS3. He addresses why they went multiplayer, and why people shouldn't be worried about it being downloadable. 'We had a few really fun missions. But a few missions don't make a competitive single player game. They don't. The bar is set, and it's set really, really high. And we can hit and exceed that bar in a multiplayer ... Just because iTunes is available now doesn't mean that music producers say oh, now we can do crummy music. Convenience is great, but quality always wins out.'"

Re:Downloadable?

You can download any of the Playstation Store titles on up to 5 different PS3s. On GameFAQs for example, people are already trading a download of a certain game for others. Trading money for a game share would work just as well.

On the other hand, it's refreshing. Nobody should have any illusions that Warhawk is a decent or even good single player game. I've got no problems with companies releasing MP game sonly, just as I have no problem with companies releasing SP only games. Why does every game have to be ultimate MP and ultimate SP?

Neither style of play is inherently better or easier. We complicate things by demanding they be both.

The onus is on the next gen consoles to have more networked games, for better or worse. IN a global gaming network (Xbox, PS3, PC), multiplayer becomes much more feasible and wlil naturally increase in occurrence. It only becomes a problem if single player games go away.
