Tom Clancy's HAWX Comments by Robert Purchese

Ooh, pretty.

Looks very nice. The name however is utter shit.

/agrees

/HAWX

That by which we call a rose, by any other name.... and so on.

Fails without giant winged planes.

Tom Clancy's Pro Skater?

Want, want, want.

Stupid name but game could be good though I'm not buying Ubisoft games again until they up their quality significantly. Enough is enough really. Pity Vegas 2 sold so much, they know they can get away with shoddy products.

looks hawk

HAWX, its beautify-full.

If the game looks as good as those little screenshots on the PS3 consider me sold.

it looks almost exactly the same as ace combat.

Almost as good as Ace Combat 6. Very good.

I can't ever play a game with "HAWX" in the title. "Tom Clancy's" doesn't help much either... Screens look pretty though

It's going up against the Ace Combat series so what sets it apart?

TagemandBagem: Real-life locations, possibly more realistic weaponry as well. And perhaps not a horribly hackneyed "plot" like in AC6.

I'm excited, at least.

one to watch then.

HAWX? I thought it was a skateboarding game before I saw the pics.

@ Royal Fool

What's wrong with gracemeria?

Les - "I can't ever play a game with "HAWX" in the title. "Tom Clancy's" doesn't help much either... Screens look pretty though"

Ha ha, pretty much says it all.

i cant believe that people at ubi sat around a table and one of them went .".its like ace combat but set in the world of graw and you get to basically be mitchels air support" .."whats it called" "HAW-X...get it like in the air...like hawks... with an X...like XTREME!"...

at that point someone should have stepped in and said "YOURE FIRED!"...

instead im assuming someone got promoted for coming up with something what could have easily been a NES era title for a game

"HawX...hmmm I like it! It's both pro-active and it's got synergy. But will it get them off their tractors in middle America?"

*cough* render *cough*

The Wii name was shit to begin with. Maybe this one will grow on us.
Like bollock cancer.
Who am I kidding? Sounds like a chinese guy choking up a huge green loogie to spit on a marathon runner's nikes. Euuww.

When reading about this game regarding private companies being used to fight aerial wars,I thought ...oh so its strike commander the old origin game from 1993 that also was about private companies fighting aerial wars.

Looks nice though.

ha, just found out by chance that the city in the shot is rio de janeiro

/geography nut

The name make me think about a new Tony Hawk, not in the slightest a new Tom Clancy game.

At least I'm not alone immediately thinking Ace Combat 6. Probably be the same game, but with less planes, and a less shoddy story line.

You mean more planes. It's supposed to have around 50 planes.

Oh, that looks a bit alright.

HAWX... brrrrr that's a dodgy title for a game.

It looks good though. Any videos of the damn thing in action?

clearly a wii exclusive...

Looks very shiny. Perhaps shinier than Ace Combat.

But.

But, but, but... surely in this kind of aircraft, in the future, most conflict is going to be so hilariously Beyond Visual Range that you're never going to see much of the shiny aircraft. Apart from your own, perhaps.

This is why fighter sims worked fine on the PC ten years ago: you were launching missiles at boxes in the HUD. Sure, it needed to look nice for the chase-cam... but you were mainly focused on little green boxes.

(By contrast, propeller-dogfighting games can ALWAYS do with a look and feel overhaul).

I'm going to guess at this game having lots of what has become IMO the usual Ubisoft trademark, namely screen tearing, which you obviously cannot see in static screenshots. ;)

the name is so bad, it could nearly be good bar one thing

a roommare i had, his gradnmother was senile. nice old lady, just, you know, not all there. The thing is, she LOVED, LOVED, LOVED, Airwolf. Swear to god. Airwolf, just couldn't get enough of it. So, all she'd ever ask for, or say, is put HAAAWKK on, is HAAWKK on? Wheres HHHAWWKK?

And now, when i see that that name, i cant help but think of an old womans illicit love for strongfellow hawk.

looks pretty though

This is all dog-fighting? No bombing, transport, reconnaissance, or frankly, anything that would legitimise it being a Clancy game? I just want to find out what sort of flying game this is.

Machetazo: it will still have obligatory stealth missions, I'm sure.

................... Or you could just play Ace Combat 6?

look better than ace wombat tho?

Not sure atm but they need to show some closer shots of the ground to see if the textures turn into a pixelated mess.

i guess calling it HAWKS was just too sensible for Ubi.....oh well :(

Perhaps they should have called it:

"Americans save the world from terrorists again, yeee HAW"

I hear the soundtrack RAWX.

"................... Or you could just play Ace Combat 6?"

But what if we've already finished that several months ago - twice? Would a first person shooter fan (or any game genre for that matter) settle for pretty much just one single game in the entire genre, because that's pretty much the current state of affairs in console flight "sims", isn't it?

Surely another game - or several - would be more than welcome, even if it turns out to be very similar to Ace Combat in most areas (but hopefully not with cutscenes and dialogue that's even remotely as emberrasingly and laughably bad as what we got in Ace Combat 6. Not that it was really important to the gameplay, which I loved, but damn - that "plot" and dialogue was really, seriously teethgrindingly bad, so much that I truly hope for the poor writers that something must have gotten lost in the translation from Japanese to English :)).

Ooh, fighter aeroplanes. This looks so generic.

yeee HAW is not a foreign policy

Please make something this pretty but with WWI era planes in it!

If they have any sense at all they will add Strike Commander esk resourse management and a variable route plot into it. It's something thats been lacking from the otherwise great Ace Combat series and would really make this stand out. They'll probably just make the explosions look prettier though . .

"Please make something this pretty but with WWI era planes in it!"


Why?.....

propeller-dogfighting games and WW1 for the win.

I had great fun flying these planes on the Amiga years ago... what was it called hmm... Knights of the Sky!

A proper cheese fest Top Gun simulator... now that I'd buy. Merlin, Merlin! I think.

poop is poop is poop

HAWX it RAWKS!!!!!!!!!!! \o/
:D

/eh i'll get my coat
