H.A.W.X Eye in the Sky

Ubisoft and GeoEye Integrate Satellite Imagery into Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X has
word that the upcoming Tom Clancy-themed aerial combat game will make use of
satellite imagery courtesy of GeoEye, "a premier provider of satellite, aerial
and geospatial information." The game will feature more than 16 real-life
locations, including Rio de Janeiro, Cape Canaveral, and the Middle East, all
off which will be depicted using satellite imagery. Additionally: "During the
development process the H.A.W.X team has also worked with the U.S. Geological
Survey and the Center for Earth Resources Observations and Science (USGS/EROS)
to understand how to best create a topographical 'underpinning' for the
satellite imagery, creating a very realistic representation of the Earth."
