Hawx - Computer assistance

Published 9 July, 2008 Duration 3:47

A modern fighter plane is a complicated beast. Not only will it anticipate the actions of its pilot, preventing them from losing consciousness due to G-forces, or hurling themselves into the side of a hill, it will track enemies, missiles and other hazards, incorporating all of the information into an easy to understand HUD. So what happens when you turn it off?

    Really not sure about that external camera view.

    Looking forward to this though...hopefully it'll have a more bearable plot and voice acting than Ace Combat.

    With MagicCameraView(tm) that unassisted hard/pro mode looks easier.

    I was hoping assistance off forced you inside tbh.

    Looks okay, but I was distracted throughout the entire video looking at the back of his skull through his nose. Disturbing.

  • vadimur #8 4 years ago

    Is there any ways to skip the advertisement & go straight to the video?

    It's really anal trying to watch the video when it's so slow trying to load the goddam advertisment 1st!

    Waltz over to the forums and you'll see exactly why Eurogamer feels they have to patronise us with subtitles, à la Sky One. They'll be doing it for people with foonee aksints next...

  • Simian #11 4 years ago

    That external view looks ever so slightly dodgy. I wonder how much control you have in that 'playable replay'?

  • PapaSmurf630 #12 4 years ago

    I've got to say this looks like a load of bollocks. I don't say that often but really, this is just silly.

  • illusiondance #13 4 years ago

    i cant believe Urogamer are so culturally insensitive that they didnt write the subtitles with a french accent!
    c'est trop.
    (p.s. please also replace all world war 2 shooter ads with messages from peepee & po-po)

    Man, am I tired of these French developers all over the place who speak such bad English they have to be DUBBED. "Ze Computeur bezikli anti-krüch". So annoying. Did I mention I'm French?
