UBISOFT TAKES TO THE SKIES WITH NEW TOM CLANCY AIR COMBAT BRAND

Paris, FRANCE – September 25, 2007 – Ubisoft, one of the world’s largest video game publishers, announced the creation of a new Tom Clancy franchise being developed by Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio for next generation consoles and PC. The first air combat game taking place in Tom Clancy’s universe, the brand will launch in 2008.

“Ubisoft has an unrivaled track record of creating and sustaining new brands,” said Serge Hascoet, chief creative officer at Ubisoft. “Our commitment to refreshing our catalog with regular introduction of new IPs is what keeps gamers coming back for more. With this new brand we’re redefining the aerial combat genre and extending the Tom Clancy universe to deliver a compelling new action titles to next-generation gamers.”

Set in a near future, the game imagines a world where a private military force has cumulated such power that it attacks the USA. Thrust into the cockpits of incredibly powerful and technologically advanced jet fighters, gamers will benefit from hi-tech piloting assistance, providing comfort, security and enhanced perception. As players gain skills and confidence, they will be able to shed the assistance. But before choosing performance over security, they’ll have to weigh the risks carefully.

“We are confident that this new brand will become the new benchmark for flight combat games and will be, like other Tom Clancy based games, an instant online multiplayer hit,” says Sebastien Delen, managing director of Ubisoft’s Bucharest studio. “The player will experience all the action and excitement of modern air combat, from intense dog fighting to tactical strikes.”

Not much is know about the game, only that Ubi Romania is making it (is it the same team that made the Silent Hunter games?) and it's coming to PC and consoles in 2008.

This will be a "pew pew" kiddy game.

Why can't they mesh the realism of LOMAC (to a lesser degree) with the stunning visuals capable by a multimillion dollar funded studio? That would be a winner right there.

LOMAC

Realism: 10
Graphics 7 (for its time, still on top in its genre I would guess)
Engine: 2 (piss poor optimization and coding, SF protection)

THIS SHIT
Realism: 0
Graphics: 10
Engine: ? Probably piss poor console port.

I don't want to read a 600 page manual to play, but 50 or so pages I wouldn't mind. Without realism air combat games just kinda make me cringe Sad

Yea, but you don't see Silent Hunter 3 being played with Gamepads now do you?
How flight-simish do you think they're going to be allowed to get when having to develop it for the consoles? Press A to Fire, B to release bombs , that be about it.

SH3 would have been a disaster if it were limited to x amount of buttons on a controller.

Ubisoft Romania also developed the two Blazing Angels games which were pretty good. I guess this new game will be similar.
