  • Starhawk Releases Companion App For iOS and Android

    The new Playstation 3 exclusive game called Starhawk has announced that they have released a companion app for the iOS and Android operating systems. The app, titled the “Uplink App,” makes it so you can easily check out detailed player and clan stats, while staying current on the all of the latest Starhawk announcements and news.

    The app features a bunch of information on all of the player weapons, Hawk weapons, and build & battle structures. This is a lot like the Battlelog app that EA/DICE just released as a companion to Battlefield 3.

    The App is totally free and is currently available to download. You don’t even need to own the game to check out what the app has inside it so that is a plus.

    The app has a bunch of cool features. Here are the important ones laid out nice and neat:

    Access To Clan Information:

     You can view your clan invitations, clan leaderboards and statistics, and search for new clans to join or challenge.

    View Player and Weapon Stats:

     You can view your player and weapon stats from all of your online play.

    Track Other Players:

     Look at stats for your PSN friends, clanmates, and other players you meet online.

    View the Starhawk Leaderboards:

     See how you rank against your friends, clanmates, and the rest of the Starhawk community.

    Access Starhawk Community Strongholds:

     You can link to various Starhawk social sites, as well as directly link to gameplay videos and other Starhawk community-driven sites.

    Browse The Armory:

     An encyclopedia of information on all troop and Hawk weapons and Build & Battle structures.

    Stay Up To Date:

    The news ticker and game announcements section ensure that you are completely up to date on all the latest and greatest Starhawk news.

    Here is the official trailer for the app:

  • Starhawk Will Feature Splitscreen Multiplayer!

    A huge complaint for a lot of gamers has been the nearly complete disappearance of split screen multiplayer. Some games have it, but do not do it well, a few games have it and do it the right way. Starhawk is joining the bunch that is doing it the right way! Thats right,

    Starhawk will feature splitscreen multiplayer!

    You are going to be able to play the game in split screen mode with two separate gamer tags! Warhawk had 4 player split screen but the developers felt that not enough people used that feature so they decided to concentrate on making the 2 player split screen as good as they could get it.

    Unfortunately if you’re player two, you can’t earn trophies or character customizations (outfits, paint jobs, decals) as these are saved directly to the PS3. “It’s not perfect,” say the developers, “But it’s way better than Warhawk where Player Two couldn’t level up at all.”

    Starhawk is the successor of the fairly popular online only game Starhawk. I’m not quite sure if Starhawk was popular because it was multiplayer or because it came with a bluetooth headset. Warhawk really suffered because around the time it was released, Call of Duty 4 came out. And that game pretty much took the steam out of everything.

    Starhawk incorporates two of my favorite hobbies: industrial design and blowing people up with big guns. http://t.co/drRPtNhr 4 days ago via TweetDeck ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto
