Starhawk Limited Edition Announced as Gamestop Exclusive with Co-Op Map, Warhawk 1

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

The "limited edition" of Starhawk has been announced, and rather than spend extra money on a giant box filled with art books, soundtracks, and statues - you'll be getting a whole bunch of digital pack ins for the same price as the normal version.  The biggest piece of content included for co-op players is a map called Maw of Despair, which is a particularly challenging cooperative mission for four players.  

What else is included in the PlayStation 3 version of the game?  

Maw of Despair Outcast Pack: Includes the Maw of Despair Co-op Map and Shade Warrior MP Skin

This challenging co-op mission takes place deep beneath the planet’s surface in a particularly dangerous Rift mine. The Maw of Despair is home to the oldest Outcast tribe, the Shade Warriors. The heart of each Shade Warrior blazes with pure Rift energy, granting them extra toughness and combat ability. The firefights you’ll encounter in the Maw of Despair co-op mission will push your shooting skills to the edge!

Echo Scrapyard Rifter Pack: Includes the Scrapyard Homeworld and Huxley Ardin MP Skin

An exclusive player Homeworld, the Echo Scrapyard features Huxley’s mechanics shop and junkyard — known throughout the Frontier as the best place in the Frontier for Rifters to get spare parts for their Razorbacks and Sidewinders. And in the canyon basin below, Huxley’s shop is a network of roads and trails for players to hone their own Razorback 4×4 and Sidewinder Jetbike driving skills.

Starhawk Concept Art PS3 Theme: Decorate your PS3 with the amazing concept art that help bring the Starhawk Universe to life. Only available through the Starhawk Limited Edition.

Copy of the Original Warhawk (PSone): Download and play the title that started it all!

Official Starhawk Soundtrack: Christopher Lennertz’s sweeping original score available as a PSN download.

Starhawk is out on May 8th, exclusively on the PlayStation 3 with a 4 player online co-op survival mode.

Gamestop must be giving Sony something in order for this to be exclusive to them. I loved Warhawk but I have such a backlog of games that I'll wait for Starhawk to go on sale. I bought all of the DLC for Warhawk at full price (purchased individually) and then they bundled it all for a better deal. I'll just wait for the DLC bundle this time.

Starhawk has me interested. I hope it has a bit of DOTA in its design with all the towers you can build.

No splitscreen?

Here are some split screen details from the Starhawk forums posted by the Community Manager:

Yes, there will be two-player splitscreen in the retail version. It will supports dual PlayStation Network logins, so if you go to someone else's house, you can log-in as your character, level up, get XP and retain your stats. We even store your controller configuration and sensitivity on a Starhawk cloud, so you can pull it from the server at your friend's house playing co-op.

He still doesn't specifically say whether it will be online split screen (MP or co-op), but I think it is likely since he talks about using your PSN sign-on.

@ kevinclough - Thanks for the info. I'm getting to the point where I don't much care for buying too many games that don't support splitscreen. Imo, there's no reason not to include splitscreen in co-op titles.

I did get final confirmation that splitscreen online will be supported in the co-op mode. I sent the tip into co-optimus but I haven't seen an article on it yet. Here is the proof
