Tom Clancy's HAWX Revealed
into the Danger Zone on IGN has word on HAWX, a new air combat
franchise being launched this fall for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 under
Ubisoft's Tom Clancy brand, offering user-friendly controls and four-player
co-op support. Here's a bit: Developed by Ubisoft's Bucharest Studio,
HAWX lets you pilot more than 50 planes in dogfights across the sky. Set in
2012, HAWX imagines a world that has become increasingly dependant on private
military companies (PMCs). With PMCs increasingly gaining power, we sit on the
precipice of a global conflict. Sounds like a good enough reason to hop in your
fighter jet and shoot down some bogies.
HAWX features an Enhanced Reality System (ERS), which is meant to make even the
average pilot feel like Iceman. ERS includes radars, incoming missile detection,
an anti-crash system, damage control system, tactical map, information relay,
weapons trajectory control and allows players to give commands to their AI
squadron. With the Assistance Mode flipped on, the ERS will put pilots into a
maximum safety mode. Think of it like having all the assists turned on in a
racing game. You get more freedom and control with Assistance Mode off, but you
will also be at greater risk without the full protection of the ERS.
