Has anyone seen the video or screen shots for Ubisoft/Clancy's HAWKS yet?

Yes and it looks promising I think it will fit somewhere between AC type action and flight sim style realism, the fact that they seem to have Capt. Mitchel calling in the targets for you is a nice tought too.

Yeah, did you notice the other call sign, "Jester"?

It's been awhile since I played ghost recon, was Jester in that too? Watching the trailer again it looks like avoiding sam's is going to be more difficult than just turning, I love AC but I always wished that sam's and AA were more deadly.

I thought you were referring to Top Gun. Mitchell was Maverick (Tom Cruise) and Jester was one of the Top Gun trainers (Michael Ironside). I haven't played the GRAW games yet. Have'em, just haven't unwrapped them to play.

on a slightly off topic note, Jester from SOCOM was the greatest failtrain to ever derail.. lol, that AI bastard pissed me off more than any teammate i've ever played with.

back on topic tho, HAWX looks pretty cool, i'm not holding my breath on it. i am still wondering why the ps3 hasnt had a port of AC6 tho what up with that...

I've heard both that there is a port in the works, also that ac7 will be the first to realease on both systems.

Ah I see Capt. Mitchel was the main char in the ghost recon games, since you often called in tactical air strikes its pretty cool to be on the other end of the support. Heres a new preview I found http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?cId=3167977

Looks like an interesting take on the flight combat genre.

But massive shipfulls of failpoints for the title. "Hawx?" What the hell is this, the 1980s?
