Ubisoft have waisted no time in putting their $60 million acquisition of the "Tom Clancy" name into good use but not as we would expect in a sneak-em-up but into an air combat game "Tom Clancy's HAWX" interestingly this is also being developed in the SH4 stable at Ubisoft Bucharest here is a an article from GamesIndustry.biz (http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/tom-clancy-s-hawx-it-s-not-quite-clear-what-the--x--stands-for--but-the-other-bit-is--high-altitude-warfare----i-e---it-s-a-flight-sim) on this forthcoming title.

This is a particularly interesting development as it shows Ubisoft are already thinking brand diversification for the Tom Clancy name....suddenly Ubisoft's "Tom Clancy's Submarine Warfare" doesn't see so far fetched ater all!

Update...Here is a link to the game site (http://hawxgame.uk.ubi.com/home_euro.php) with some video footage presumably from the intro sequence.

I think the trailer suggests a pretty obvious arcade. Probably something in the veins of NovaLogic's old Comanche series.

It sounds a bit like the Amiga game "F/A-18 Interceptor" which led to the "Jetfighter " series
