Josh Sutpfin of LightBox Interactive, Lead Game Designer for Starhawk sat down with us for an interview to go up later today. He has some interesting things to say about single-player, your SixAxis controller... and how you'll be getting the game.
"We do not have the SixAxis flight control support in this game anymore," he points out.
"It’s very focused on the core game experience. Warhawk was somewhat infamous for having a very steep learning curve and the single player campaign is one way of addressing that, and we also did a bit of refinements to the control scheme for that same reason.
"People are playing a lot of contemporary shooters right now that all have very similar control schemes, there’s really no reason to deviate from that, have all the same functions, put on the same buttons and people are going to feel at home."
So, how are you getting this game when it hits in 2012?
"We’re actually targeting for a blu-ray only release due to the amount of content we’re offering with the extensive single player campaign on top of the multiplayer game."
Full interview later.
