Ubi delays HAWX, dates Hell's Highway

By Robert Purchese Published 29 July, 2008

Reveals "Armored Core 4 Answers".

Ubisoft has pushed Tom Clancy's HAWX, all of them, back to 2009. Squawk.

We expected the flight sim in September, but now face release in the fourth quarter of Ubi's financial year (sometime between January and the end of March 2009).

Thankfully the Ubisoft schedule finally cleared up the Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway date. The game will definitely be released on 26th September, the publisher said. No foolies.

There's good news too for Nintendo-based WWII fans - Ubisoft is launching a Wii compilation of Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 and Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood on the same day.

Also on the list, under September, is a game called "Armored Core 4 Answers" for PS3 and Xbox 360. We'll try and find out what this is.

Soulcalibur IV, incidentally, is due out this Friday on PS3 and Xbox 360. We'll be bringing you our thoughts soon.

    Is it me or is it considered another half-arsed attempt to port the games to the Wii?

    Armored Core 4 Answer, if anything like the AC4 demo, will be bloody awful. It was like a glitch ridden PS2 game. Playing that made me question the current state of Japanese game development.

  • MrMelanin #6 4 years ago

    Kenshin001 - care to name a single 'glitch' in AC4? It's difficult to get into, yes, but if you haven't got the patience for a game, that doesn't make it awful. Also, judging a series by a single demo - nice work.

    As for the article, come on EG -do some research, eh? AC4A is utterly incredible - think Shadow of the Colossus with massive fucking robots.

  • Necros #7 4 years ago

    Is the release date only for Europe or Hell's Highway comes out on the 26th in the USA too?

  • AOFanboi #8 4 years ago

    AC4 demo seemed to consist of firing at robots at a great distance. Heck, Gundam: Target in Sight "felt" more like a mecha game, even though it was in a lumbering way.

    Ah well, better try and dig up a copy of the PS2 Transformers game.

    @Cloudane - Yep, poor old Wii owners get the chance to play a three year old game... I'm sure they must all be jumping up and down for joy! ;)

  • Pablo2k5 #10 4 years ago

    Shame, I was looking forward to this...

    I might give this a punt. Not played the Brother in arms games.
