IncGamers' Tamer Asfahani has a go at the upcoming Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. title, and here is a little excerpt:
"Consoles have always existed to fulfil the immediate need, and with processing power an issue, it's hard to get something as complex as a flight simulator to work as well on consoles as they do on spec-able PCs. Couple this with the infinite peripheral capabilities PC players have access to, it becomes clear that consoles really aren't the best place for any self-respecting flight simulator fan. The only way then to combat this issue, is to make a game that combines the most successful aspects of all platforms, and wrap them into a package that would satisfy the hardcore gamer, as well as give the geeky sim fan something familiar and real enough to appreciate."
There's a new 'Deal of the Week' up on Xbox Live this week and this time you will be able to pick up some great Ubisoft Tom Clancy titles on the cheap until July 29th.
PSX-Sense writes: Last week there were rumours that Sony are introducing Essentials for Sony´s console, suchs like previously done on the PSP. Now the first PlayStation 3 Essentials and prices are announced. Get all the information trough the link.
Well, I don't know if it also works like this the other way around but here goes; When a US price is revealed, they just use the swticheroo and replace the $ with € sign. American price might just be $15 :)
I dont know but... It look something made up by ubisoft, the list contain only ubi titles.
For more than 15 years, Tom Clancy has presented the gritty, realistic counterpoint to most action games' abstract ideal of combat. This is the history of a franchise that has reveled in contrarian design, and in doing so has changed the landscape of digital war.
It's rare for a console flight game to strike a good balance between combat and simulation. This sounds like it has potential.
Hmm... sounds interesting, I would have to try a demo before I would bite still!
I must say, I'm not usually into flight games but this one looks awesome. I'm tempted to buy it after reading this.
The game just looks beautiful and feels great. It's really something I didn't think would work, but from this preview it really does seem that it might just make it a game to buy this year.
I know PC based flight sim fans may look at this with upturned noses, but to be honest, it shouldn't be seen as a flight sim. It's a more realistic arcade game which is how it should be marketed.
I love the fact it uses satellite images as the basis for its environments. The Chicago level looks amazing.
