Romier S Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 We knew more Tom Clancy games were coming and here is one that has been rumored for some time. HAWX will be Ubi's attempts at taking on a combination of the flight sim and more arcadey Ace Combat like market. The game has an ERS system they are implementing which is the equivalent to the assists in a Forza or GTA game. Turn the assists off and you end up with a game that offers more freedom in controlling the craft. IGN has screens and a trailer: http://pc.ign.com/articles/864/864062p1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Very exciting Especially the 4-player drop in/out anytime co-op! I hope it works well with the AC6 stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan_E Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 Another year or two of these games and a whole generation will grow up not even knowing that Clancy was an author and not "that Rainbow 6 guy." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 (edited) Demo tomorrow (on LIVE, Thursday on PSN, "later" for PC) and it sounds wicked nice... Key features of the H.A.W.X demo: Co-op enabled for up to 4 players – Jump in/Jump out. Gain experience points and unlock up to three real, licensed planes in the demo: - F-16A Fighting Falcon - SU-35 Super Flanker - AV-8B Harrier II Choose between two different game modes: -Normal – Default control type. -Expert – Allows full control over the aircraft in “Assistance Off” mode. Two heart-pounding missions... Some of the recent videos showing actual gameplay got me a little excited, so I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by this tomorrow.

JoeyN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Looking forward to giving it a shot, if anyone wants to try it tomorrow night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foogledricks Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Every since Descent Freespace, which I adored, I've been hoping for a fun flight shooter. I'll check out the demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Every since Descent Freespace, which I adored, I've been hoping for a fun flight shooter. I'll check out the demo. I'd kill for a game in the Descent Freespace vein. I'm not feeling it from HAWX. I smell a turd. Hope not but I just do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Covak Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Ugh. I don't even want to finish the demo mission. I had low expectations and it's still way worse than I expected. I find it laughably bad all around. The sound effects would be good for a SNES game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romier S Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 It looks like my first '09 disappointment predictions was right. I'll still the give the demo a shot tonight but I was never very high on what I had seen of the game.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony G Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Won't even play the demo now. Thanx. Keith, give the Ace Combat 6 demo a try if your looking for a nice flight shooter. I enjoyed it and it has finally dropped in price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I think I may be wrong on my original comments. I played the tutorial this morning which made you do a strange camera angle. Decided to give the full mission a shot, and im having more fun with it. Much better camera, aiming is a lot easier, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Not at all. Have you played the demo? In the training mission it makes you go into some strange safety off mode. It pulls the camera out from the plane, and does not have an aiming circle on screen at all time. Almost impossible to play that way, which Is why I shut it off this morning, and didn't plan on looking back. However I usually give a demo two tries to see if I missed something, and went with the full mission. When you start the full mission it puts you behind the plane like in Ace Combat (or other options in the menu). Much easier to control, and shoot down enemies this way. If you played only the tutorial before, try the next mission. It's totally different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted March 8, 2009 Report Share Posted March 8, 2009 I'd wait until Ubisoft releases a patch. Many people on twitter are reporting game crash's with HAWX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 I'd wait until Ubisoft releases a patch. Many people on twitter are reporting game crash's with HAWX This is a pretty common problem with flying games. Reverse the Y-axis in controller setup if the ground keeps getting bigger when you want to make it smaller. I'm here to help. It's what I do.
