H.A.W.X. 2 delayed on all platforms except 360
Ubisoft has sent over its latest release schedule, which reveals H.A.W.X. 2 has been delayed on the PS3, PC and Wii.
The Xbox 360 version of H.A.W.X. 2 is still on schedule for September 3, with the PS3 version arriving a week later on September 10.
Unfortunately for PC fans, the wait is even longer and now falls on October 1.
Wii owners get the raw deal, as it seems to have been delayed until sometime in Q4.
The demo is available now on Xbox 360 and PS3.

Lol, Microsoft is throwing with money again
I guess at gamescom they realized they ran out of exclusive content, while Sony and Nintendo have plenty

Probably the sales on poopyshitty3 and the new pirated scene emerging would made’em sell like… 3 copies, lol.
Canned, expect that for a bunch of multiplatform games now on.

This is dumb and I hope there’s a reasonable reason for it.

It’ll be a delay at the distributor most likely.

If Microsoft tried to pay for that they are fucking idiots.
If there is a reason behind it, i want to hear.

Two comments, and already full of baseless, fanboyish assumptions.
I highly, highly doubt this has anything to do with “money talking”. It’s a goddamn week’s difference for christ sakes.
Nor would it have anything to do with sales of the game on the PS3. Why would they *delay* a game if the previous one sold poorly? That’s just stupid.
They could be any numbers of reasons for this, most likely having to do with shipping or production of the discs.

Most likely localisation issues, especially as its just a week difference.

@8, 10 and 11 are all correct i’m guessing as it has to be a problem with shipping the discs etc as the original date is only 2 weeks away they’ve obviously encountered a problem and can only distribute the 360 discs and so no point in delaying that version too as this way their game is in the this weeks releases section for 2 weeks. Pc version has prob been delayed as Ubisoft are unaware of how to release a game on time for PC

The original HAWX was garbage, MS would have to be fucked in the head to cough up for any sort of exclusivity.

One week exclusivity on Ubisoft crudware. Exciting times for 360 owners. Should make the wait for Dance Central a bit more bearable

typical ubi, that’s why I never purchased your games on my precious PS3. And to let you burn, I always waited till they come on PC, and bought them half price. suck on it…

How childish do you have to be make such a fuss over a SEVEN DAY delay? It’s a complete non-issue.
Moneyhats? Sounds like some people are wearing tinfoil hats..

I know what the problem is though. The words ‘delay’ and ’360′ appear in a title and its like frikkin catnip for trolls.

Is it just me…or is the Control More, um..well..”Wonky” on Hawx 2 compared to Hawx 1???? Maybe it was just the demo…I played it on Xbox 360…Did anyone else notice this?? I would have figured that the controls would have gotten quite a bit more tighter on the 2nd game and not looser??? Might just be me though…Just curious??
