Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Starhawk is the Spiritual Successor to the Warhawk series, both of which are PlayStation Exclusives. While still heavily focused on multiplayer, Starhawk features a single player campaign which is structured such that it introduces the player to the core mechanics of the multiplayer.It's sometime in The Future. You are Emmett Graves, a hired gun and "Rift Salvager". Out here on the Final Frontier, there has been a new gold rush for "Rift Energy", a valuable but dangerous power source. Graves was partially mutated by this energy, but a Power Limiter on his back keeps him human. The Outcasts, who worship Rift energy, and viciously attack those that try to mine it across the galaxy, weren't so lucky. Together with his good friend Cutter, Graves protects independent Rift Energy harvesting operations from the Outcasts, also called "Scabs." They have a ship called Annabelle, which can drop prefabricated structures from orbit on command, as do players online.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The multiplayer includes up to 32-person matches of Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag, as well as four player cooperative wave defense. Players are given an entirely unsettled landscape to riddle with bunkers, turrets, barriers, and vehicle depots. The developers specifically wanted to capture the fast pacing of pulling a trigger on a gun when building an encampment.The Official Trailer can be found here.On November 14, 2012, Emmett was confirmed to be one of the first two DLC fighters, packed alongside his rival, Kat, in Playstation All Stars Battle Royale.Not to Be Confused With the Vectrex Game Starhawk. Or the Game boy Game Starhawk.

Multi-Track Drifting: Powersliding with the Razorback or Sidewinder is one thing, but you can also do so with a Hawk in the air, or in space. In much the same way as in Freelancer, Starhawk uses inertia when it feels like.

Revolvers Are Just Better: Graves' signature Galloway Revolver, which is closer in appearance to a Hand Cannon and indeed, does very high damage per shot as compared to your other primary weapon, the Kinetic Rifle.

comment
Homing Projectile: There are two kinds usable by the Hawks: Swarm Lasers, which can lock onto multiple targets or all eight onto one target, and the much more powerful but single-shot Homing Missiles. Rocket launchers are also able to lock on to airborne targets, allowing the rocket fired afterward to home in on them.

 Starhawk (Video Game) / int_8774fb47
comment
Eldritch Abomination: Rift energy. It's used as a highly efficient power source, but it's actually an amorphous Energy Being that compels those exposed to it to worship it, protect it, and keep others from harnessing it. The exposed become Scabs, exoskeletal mutants whose flesh is gradually replaced by Rift energy. Then there's the final boss battle, where energy takes on a physical form seemingly all its own and can reanimate dead Scabs by smashing them together into new ones.
