A new Starkhawk video has made its way out of GamesCom this afternoon featuring an interview with LightBox boss Dylan Jobe and a good smattering of  gameplay footage to boot. Stars and hawks are, of course, in abundance.

I hadn't really heard of the 'Hawk' series until this recent E3 when we were able to get our hands on Starhawk and its  building mechanic. Having gone back to earlier iterations of the series, I have to say that I've enjoyed Starhawk the most...even with the relatively short amount of time I had with the title. The building mechanic adds a RTS, Command and Conquer, feel that seems to meld perfectly with the 3rd person action.  And to think that at one time we were actually getting excited about a first person Command and Conquer game.

Check out the interview below.

    Starhawk is shaping up to be an amazing game. It's gonna be great being able to get a jetpack, strap it on and go over to one of these other islands, hijack one of their vehicles and try to cause as much destruction as I can. And come on, so much space. Can't wait.

    This game just keeps getting better. I've never been interested in the space battles in games, but I feel that this has been done right. I'm rooting for this game to be successful.

    "I hadn’t really heard of the ‘Hawk’ series until this recent Article." RTS's are something I have never really put any time into, but as someone said above, "Mechs, Space. . . " Who wouldn't want to try this out?

    I'd buy a PS3 (if I could) just for this.

    I wish I could say that I played WarHawk and loved it, but the biggest problem was when I rented it, there was almost NOBODY online. If they can somehow get more people to play though, it could be fun.

    Wow.. wowow.. wowowow, that's really fucking creative. It feels like the battlefield is so small, almost like a toy set or something. Pretty crazy. I wasn't expecting anything like this to come from the dudes who made Warhawk.

    To tell you the truth, this is reminding me more and more of a Half Life 2 mod I played a long time ago. It was all about space battles and you could even grab a ship, fly just an ungodly distance away, Or you could just take the ship over to the opponents ship in an asteroid field or whatever and just go in balls to the wall and just use the ship inside the cargo hold to just annhilate everyone.

    I can't wait for Starhawk now.

    I've never had any experience with a Hawk game, but I definitely think I have to keep this on my radar.

    And hopefully by the time this comes out, I have money again.

    This game reminds me a lot of Section 8 w/ wings. The "call down a structure" part isn't really new. It just looks better animated.

    So many reasons I should get a ps3 :/ So few games even bother putting flight mechanics in their games...

    Dam...I'm already pretty packed with a long list of games to play. Don't even know if I can fit this one in when it releases day 1.

    If I had the money I would buy this game, speaking of money, I think I might be able to sell my bed for a few bucks....

    Feels pretty shitty on the other side of the exclusives war.
