Serious simulators are gone because of arcade games like this one and because of the people who are buying them. If you want to support the simulation community don’t buy this. Don’t be the reason why modern studios think that making these kind of games is much more profitable than developing simulations.

So HAWX 2 is going to be an action game. Have ever thought about developing a simulation?

However HAWX 2 is not a simulation, since it was important for us that the game can be played by people that aren’t experts at flight games, but it can also be enjoyed by flight enthusiasts. We focused on the feeling of authenticity and plausibility both in the gameplay and in the story, without turning the experience into a juggernaut of detail.

What they call a “juggernaut of detail” is what makes it realistic and what we like. We are not kids, we don’t want instant gratification. We like to use our brain and study how a system works even if it takes months. Our gratification comes from being able to operate a complex machine in a realistic combat environment and not from shooting everything you see on the screen.

What is the involvement of Tom Clancy in the storylines of the HAWX series?

Tom Clancy is not directly involved at this point in the HAWX series. However, we are creating an experience that is very much Clancy, because we have access to all that past experiences and his long-term vision.

It’s very bad that this game uses Tom Clancy’s name to sell. And it’s a shame that this writer, known for the realism and authenticity of its books, doesn’t get involved except for taking Ubisoft’s money after letting them use its name. Doesn’t he have already a lot of money anyway? If you want more, at least make sure that your “vision” is followed.

That’s just sad.
