Hey all, this will be my first post:

I'm excited about this game, this is probably the most anticipated game in a long time for me.

It kind of reminds me of Heatseeker. Which is a game that i enjoyed.

I would be somewhat disappointed if they left out take offs and landings.

It doesn't need to be complex.

Landing and taking off in Heroes of the Pacific and Heatseeker was simple, and fun.

They should have it like that, it would go with the overall theme and gameplay of HAWX.


It seems like such a small thing, but takes offs and landings really are important and add a touch of realism to flight games. And make them more believable.

The point is to feel like you are immersed in the games' world. And having to take off and reach the air combat zone in time is a realistic thing.

And landing safely is also a reality.

Hello!

Ok, so - will the take off / landing features be available (maybe with some patch or anything) or no chance at all??

I was so close to buying this game, plus a new joystick... but after seeing the posted interview link, I doubt that they shall enhance this shoot em up sim into a more immersed and realistic flight sim. It's the old Tom Clancy game scenario of plonking you straight into the firing line and fighting your way out until all the enemy are destroyed then fading to a congrats screen. Now come on, you need to TAKE OFF, do your waypoint thing and get to the fight, fight - with a realistic and often limited level of firepower and fuel settings, then return your shot and cripled plane back to base possibly via an inflight refuel then eventually LAND...alive! Isn't that what sims are all about?? I agree, with the console it would be difficult but for a PC version, Ubi could bring out an add on pack and enable this game to become autonomous so you can choose how the mission should be played. Just imagine what a online 4 player game could be like with teamspeak...mmm

Unfortunately, what I am seeing is just another shoot em up, and it's a pity cos the graphics are amazing. What other sim has this level of topographical, cloud and vapour detail and as this one? The demo is just eye candy but it's soooo let down with Ubi's gameplay approach... Sorry Ubi, but you've let the hardcore sim frat down.

it would also be cool to have a aircraft carrier in the game, and a night landing on a carrier would be awsome, but i think a carrier needs to be in the game, thats one reason Ace Combat 5 is better then ZERO

also refueling would make it more realistic

I'm sensing..thread-omancy here.

Silence seems to have been the answer.

Interesting. What was that? The Beta before they rushed it? Because I haven't heard any mention them doing anything else with this game. Looked like the player profile said "SMOKE"

oh oh oh i know what happens!!

no gears, going at 900km/h, the result is *BOOOM* with lots of fire and smoke =)

I dont think it was designed to have take of and landings. zedex26 is right. But there is an option, lol - they might make landing in off mode. This game reminds me of Novalogic F16 game, and how people were saying - it's not accurate, it's an arcade and how low points it got on reviews for that; but compared to Hawx, even novalogic F16 looks like flight simulator for real pilots. I like Hawx, the landing and take offs in the future are on autopilot and no crashing on return - try landing damaged F14 on aircraft carrier(even non damaged).

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for new features until HAWX2, if they make it, maybe...

Although, if you really *want* to hold your breath, have at it...

So is that a Mod in the works someone is keeping hush? Or an expansion? I don't see any landing gear, but I see smoke and sparks...

I really am all for taking off and landing in Hawx, but all these videos prove is that it could be added via expansion or mod. Doesn't actually prove that anything else has been done since the video seems to end before the plane comes to a full stop.

You post videos but no comments on them. Almost like you are Beta Testing something. smokeldogg is how you used to sign your name. So comment on it already

he's just flying over the carrier very low...

i did that in that mission, there are 2 carriers lined up... and it's pretty fun pretending to touch and go =)

tried doing that in the tokyo carrier but wasn't as easy

I thought about using the enemy carrier in Tokyo. My laziness took over and I decided it'd take too long to get to that part of the mission.

No beta or patches, just camera work and what could have been....

Sorry. But when we're bringing our jets back in after killing aces and bosses in AC7 one day, Hawx sure will make us laugh. Hope you have have sunscreen SPF 8million because my tactical laser system is coming to cut your jet in two.

no... hawx will make YOU laugh... it will make me CRY... because i can't play AC7... unless they port it to PC that is... which i doubt... then again, they went from PS/PS2 into 360... most likely it'll come back to the roots of PS3...
