[GC 08] Sony Details 2008 PSN Lineup

Fat Princess

Sony has constructed a giant list of all upcoming Playstation Network (and one PSP) games that will be avaiable to download in late 2008 and early 2009.

From arty titles like Flower to Warhawk expansion packs and massive games like Wipeout HD, Playstation Network offers a really ambitious and exciting array of titles.

Make sure to read on for brand new Wipeout HD screenshots and first information on the new Warhawk Expansion Pack, Fallen Star.

Fat Princess
In modern life, obesity is a social concern but, in medieval times, it was a key battle tactic! The Fat Princess of the title is your own over-fed royal that you must rescue from your enemy’s dungeon – if you can carry the porky madam to safety, that is. Choose the role of a warrior, archer, mage, worker or priest; your most important weapon here is teamwork as you work alongside up to 15 other players online to defeat the enemy team across ten individual maps and over numerous gameplay modes. Bringing countless players together on Playstation Network, Fat Princess is a blast of hilarious, furious multiplayer fun.

Flower
A true escape from the modern world, Flower challenges traditional gaming conventions with a lush, vivid environment in which players control the wind, using petals to reshape and revive their game surroundings. Using the SixAxis, play involves flight and exploration, as you guide a petal across the landscape. Collecting additional petals and feel the gameplay change from serene to chaotic as you collect more and more.

The Last Guy
Set in the aftermath of a strange event that has caused many people to turn into fierce monsters, this fast-paced and fun game challenges players to save humanity by leading everybody else through the streets of world cities to safety. With a focus on gameplay rather than gore, The Last Guy is a game that’ll keep you coming back for more monster mayhem every time. Gather the survivors into lines and lead them through the streets of 14 world cities – all recreated with stunning aerial photography. Each city has an escape zone which you must lead your lines of people into while avoiding the enemy at all costs…

WipEout HD
The arrival of WipEout HD on PS3 marks the dawning of a new era for the iconic racer, so strap yourself in for anti-gravity combat racing in full 1080p High Definition. Choose a futuristic craft then speed into the thick of the action in adrenaline-fuelled races across eight reversible tracks full of smooth loops, sharp bends and sheer drops. Master the ultra-realistic motion sensitive controls; unleash high-tech weapons to blast your opponents off the track. Take part in global online racing for up to eight players, compete for trophies and test your skills against the best pilots on the planet.

Warhawk 1.5 Patch on August 27th – Trophies

Sony and Incognito will release a new patch for PS3 title Warhawk on August 27th that will add new content, features and over 50 trophies.

The online-only game was released in August last year and has built an impressive community as Incognito released premium and free content regularly post launch.

The 1.5 patch will provide support for custom music tracks from the in-game XMB (a new feature for the PS3, which must be patched in by developers) and provide a collection of new paint schemes and insignias for Warhawk aficionados wanting a new look. The patch will also introduce a range of tutorial missions for new recruits.

The patch will also unlock the ability to earn over 50 trophies, a Playstation 3 currency tied to in game accomplishments.

The criteria are based on performance, modes, weapons, vehicles and any expansion packs you own. Incognito has promised to provide the platinum trophy even to gamers who haven’t purchased Warhawk’s expansive downloadable content; Omega Dawn and Broken Mirror.

You can find a taste of the upcoming trophies, after the jump.

Review – Warhawk

null

Warhawk is like Battlefield 2 for consoles; a massive online shooter for people who are slightly less insane than those who will kick your ass while wielding a 3 million DPI mouse. It’s got a lot of benchmarks associated with PC gaming, but it plays and feels much like a console game.

Relying purely on its multiplayer hi jinx to sell the title, Warhawk offers no single player modes, the entire game being a frantic online battlefield of vehicles and infantry combat. The game, shown in a third person perspective, is reminiscent of a toy box full of army men and tanks; the humongous sprawling arenas look like a perfectly crafted model-enthusiast play-set, complete with mossy hills and bombed out warehouses. The super deformed soldiers and vehicles lampoon military equipment and provide an inviting caricature in hopes of not steering away the military-feared.
