Warhawk - The Future of Motion Control?

Many eyebrows were raised when Warhawk was demoed at E3 back in May, as it was the first PlayStation 3 title to incorporate the controversial motion-sensing control.

Yet while many were (too) busy running down Sony for being ‘Nintendo copycats’ or whatever, SPOnG managed to get some hands-on time with Warhawk, and we liked what we played.

As our man Joe observed back then: “We were fully expecting it to be awkward, unmanageable and unresponsive. What we found, however, was that the exact opposite was true. We were almost instantly able to make tight banks in narrow valleys, skim just along the surface of the terrain and even fly with ease through a tunnel and come barrel-rolling out the other side completely unscathed.”

SPOnG has recently come into possesion of several new screens for the game, some of which you can see to the right of this story, more of which are visible on SPOnG's dedicated Warhawk page.

Warhawk is a remake of the eleven-year old PSOne game and Sony’s promising huge battles, both in the air, piloting the mighty Warhawk itself – and on the ground, both on foot and in an array of vehicles.

SPOnG cannot wait to see how the game has progressed since E3 - our insider sources at Sony don’t tend to say much when we ask them about the game, yet their eyes tend to glaze over a bit, accompanied by a funny, beatific smile.

Is Warhawk the PS3 title to prove the legions of motion-control naysayers wrong? We will soon see.
