Starhawk takes off May 8, PS Plus beta now open photo

The game that made many upset by its absence from our list of most anticipated PS3 games for 2012 now has a final release date. Starhawk will be dropping from the skies and into your consoles on May 8th.

Folks with PS Plus accounts can get their whistles wet right now, as they're the first allowed into the public beta which starts today. From there, a complicated schedule dictates the addition of more players between now and open entry on February 21st.

I am excited for this, but it's going to have online passes isn't it?

People were upset that you didn't feature this in your most anticipated games lists? Perhaps Sony should spend a few dollars on marketing this game, or maybe they lack to the confidence in the title to do so?

It's hard to remember to put a game on your list when it's barely even remembered by it's publisher.

Take it you can't do that because that would be like cool and original.

What's the big deal if it does? As long as the game is good, nothing else matters.

It is a big deal to me, as a big supporter of used games I made it a rule not to purchase new games with online passes. If you're fine with buying games with them, I won't stop you, more power to you in fact, I just can't do it without feeling wrong. Going to do it with Saints Row 3 tomorrow, and that feels awkward to me.

Domii versus Tobbii - battle of the Centurii!

Seriously though I side with Tobbii. If he doesn't want to support online passes, that's awesome.

Al long as your not a ass about it (Hurr Durr if you buy games with online passes you are a corporation shill) it fine.

Exactly, I'm fine with everyone else buying the games. Hell, I sort of envy them... Mass Effect 3...

This free month of ps plus that Sony sent me is netting me some excellent stuff. I am very seriously considering a subscription once the gift runs out.

I understand what you're saying and I respect that. I personally don't get in to the politics of the gaming industry. If the game is good and I can afford, its all that matters to me.

A noble sacrifice Sir Tobbii

Despite my feelings on online passes, I could care less when im buying the game specifically for the multiplayer action. I kinda wish they didn't even bother with a single player mode since it just looks like black Nathan Drake in space with a random western vibe glossed over it.

Played some last night.


Really very good. Not really my kind of shooter persay (bit pew pew zap zap) but maaan the battle and build mechanic is extremely fun and an excellent twist to the genre.

I was part of the private beta (started in early december) because i had played Warhawk. I have to say this is an awesome game, i may not get it first day just because of personal reasons, but i would if i could, its incredibly fast paced, well balanced, and never feels frustrating. If your team works together, watches each others back, you will win or at least it'll be close.
