So, Lightbox Interactive, one of the offshoots from Singletrac, has recently released Starhawk, itself a spiritual successor to a Singletrac game. While watching a trailer for this game, one thing in particular about this game caught my eye: The Sidewinder Jetbike   Personally I think it looks quite familiar. Thoughts? |

Pretty interesting. When I saw some of the previews for the game and saw the hover bike I told my friend I'd get stawr hawk and use it as my new Jet Moto.
It would just be hard to race with everyone shooting at you.

Wow that looks awesome. Wouldn't be surprised if they lifted the design from JM. The thruster and the wings/spoilers are clearly JM inspired.
Oddly though, using mobygames.com I can't seem to find personnel connections between Starhawk and the original Warhawk or Jet Moto. Weird.

From what I've learned most of Lighthouse is most of the team that worked on Warhawk (Ps3) and the folks at ESP had some of the old single track team who worked on jet moto and the original Warhawk and other Single track games.
Though most of the team is MIA.

No lie. I look up those names all the time and I can't find a thing for most of them.
As what I can tell. Whatever JM staff that remains in the biz is either with ESP, Sony devs, or went in all different directions. Pretty much split up completely.

Does anyone else think they wouldn't have mentioned SOLAR in there if we weren't here talking about it & uncovering its secret history?

IGN is where I found out about SOLAR. They had a section for it and it said Canceled. Thats what started my jetmoto obsession which led me to find out about 2124 and ultimately stumble onto you fellas here.

OMG, I really need a PS3. O.O
This is awesome! I thought that they would revive JM after StarHawk, but they ended up remembering it IN StarHawk. They should start making a new JM right now. =)
I didn't even know that StarHawk was already released, I was far from the internet for some time, because I had many schoolworks and then my PC had a blue screen o' death. =/
