I just heard from a friend of mine about the new game from Ubisoft :" Tom Clancy's HAWX.
And from what I could see and hear it seems to be a title worth keeping track of. maybe even a step up from Ace Combat but we'll have to wait and see how it turns out. But here is what the letter said:
"Tom Clancy's HAWX marks the next evolution of high altitude warfare in the Tom Clancy video game universe," said John Parkes, EMEA Marketing Director at Ubisoft. "We are thrilled to take to the skies and provide a new environment along with an extension of a familiar storyline from our other successful Tom Clancy franchises such as Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter."
Developed by Ubisoft's Bucharest studio, Tom Clancy's HAWX delivers an intense and authentic aerial combat experience by fully leveraging the benefits of the next-generation platform. The story begins in the year 2012. As the era of the nation-state draws quickly to a close, the rules of warfare evolve even more rapidly. More and more nations become increasingly dependent on private military companies (PMCs), elite mercenaries with a lax view of the law. The Reykjavik Accords further legitimize their existence by authorizing their right to serve in every aspect of military operations. While the benefits of such PMCs are apparent, growing concerns surrounding giving them too much power begin to mount.
Tom Clancy's HAWX is the first air combat game set in the world-renowned Tom Clancy's video game universe. Cutting-edge technology, devastating firepower, and intense dogfights bestow this new title a deserving place in the prestigious Tom Clancy franchise. Soon, flying at Mach 3 becomes a right, not a privilege.
That sounds good to me. I will keep track of this as it goes along and hopefully have some more info on it soon. I'll put some picks up a bit later.
Sweet.
