Rumor: Warhawk canned, to become PS3 download

Rumor Reporter has confirmed that Incognito's Warhawk is the subject of the site's ominous story posted early this morning. An anonymous source working on the title has allegedly told Rumor Reporter that development has "stalled completely." Supposed "infighting and lack of clear direction" have led to a swelling budget; in turn, prompting layoffs and employee migration.

SCEA has apparently brought in a new director who may be considering a significant change of direction for Warhawk. What was once a high profile title (the first to utilize functioning Sixaxis motion control), may now become a simple downloadable game. Rumor Reporter suggests that Warhawk's four complete missions could be destined for PlayStation Store. Another Gran Turismo HD? Perhaps. But, for now, this is strictly rumor.

We did contact Sony for a statement. Here's the predictable reply: "We haven't made any official announcements regarding Warhawk since last year. At this time, we have nothing new to report regarding this title."

More and more rushed PS3 titles are now being scrapped. I believe that such titles were intended to be just tech demos but were later masqueraded as real working titles to give the impression that the PS3 actually had games up for launch or within it's launch window but of course when the time came to deliver they decided to simply play the slight of hand and offer it as a free download so people will completely forget what they should really be focussing on.
