wow.

Am very excited about the film (yes...'I like that sort of thing'.....WTF is that meant to mean?), Oshii is one of the greatest film directors, anime or otherwise, working at the moment. Be interesting to see how the game turns out.

read more about the film, and watch the teaser trailer, over on my blog.

Controls sound a little backward to me (may have to really tax myself and swap wii-mote and nun around) and could see it feeling like the flying equivalent of the wii wheel

Stuff anime inspired dogfighting - why don't microsft resurrect combat flight simulator for the 360? Ace combat was all fine and dandy but unleashing missiles at distant radar blips was to dogfighting what an artillery simulator would be to fps. A WW1 or 2 era guns and cannon close in game would be great on this gen of machines.

You'll be wanting to keep a beady eye out for 'IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey' then.

Thanks - I hadn't seen that. You've made my day :) {edit: downloaded video preview and looks at screenshots - you've made my week}

Ooh, count me interested. I love combat flight sims, but I'm always put off with the amount of crap on the HUD. Since this is anime-inspired, the action should be frenetic and faster-paced than Ace Combat.
Also, there's a movie of Robotech being developed. Maybe a game tie-in will be good.

It stagggers me that the world, or at least Japan, is not already inundated with Macross arcadey flight-sims complete with transforming Valkyries. Even non-anime people are likely to be keen on the idea of a game in which you pilot jet planes that transform into robots.

What little I've discovered of Sky Crawlers makes it look like the sort of thing I originally hoped Warhawk would be, before it lost it's SP component and metamorphosed into ersatz Battlefield, sort of Crimson Skies redone as anime with more imagination and with frequent nods to Last Exile. With any luck, this will be that game.
