TVG writes: "'Talk to me, Goose,' were going to be our first words to Thomas Simon, Ubisoft Bucharest's Lead Game Designer on HAWX. However, fearing that he may have heard thousands of Top Gun references from geeky game journalists since he started work on the first Tom Clancy game to take to the skies, we eased off the 80s cheese and eased on the TVG charm.
TVG: A couple of the levels we played during today's hands-on threw a lot of variation into the mix in terms of mission objectives, such as defending Air Force One or avoiding the radius of surface-to-air missile launchers on a bombing run. Does this variation continue as the story progresses and can you give us a couple of standout examples?
A: We worked hard on the level design to bring this sort of variety. For example, there are missions where you have to provide very strong and close air support. You will see troops on the ground progressing and you have to suppress the enemy defences ahead so that they can progress. Yeah, there's quite a lot of variation. In the end, level design is really what makes the game and you can have a great idea, but in the end it comes down to gameplay, so we've been making a lot of effort with that."
Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. was a series that showed promise, but after 2010's Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2, all we have is backwards compatibility.
I remember buying Hawx2 back on PS3 after Microsoft bought exclusivity of Ace Combat6.
So to fill that dog fighting space I bought Hawx2, a very basic game that only had a gimmick of evasion that was overused if I remember correctly. I never even finished the game and still own it and my super slim ps3 so who knows I might pop it in one day and see if I can feel the need, I he need for speed.
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 :)
