The US Eagles DLC pack for HAWX will be available on May 7 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

The pack includes the F-4 Phantom II, Blackbird, F-111 Aardvark, A-12 Avenger stealth bomber prototype, and a reconnaissance variant based flyer called the Peak Eagleon which is based on the F-15.

It’ll set you back 400 MS Points ($5).

IGN has posted a few shots. Go take a look.

Tom Clancy’s HAWX’s first piece of DLC, the European Assault Pack, will release on April 23 for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Extra planes include the multi-role carrier-borne version of the Dassault Rafale, the Saab-37 Viggen and two Mirage aircraft designed for nuclear strike and long-range interception.

The delta-winged FB-22 prototype bomber, based on the F-22 Raptor, also made the cut. The XA-20 Razorback featured in Tom Clancy’s EndWar is in there too.

The DLC will run you 400 MS Points ($5.00) and $4.99 for PS3.

Joystiq has loads of images featuring the new planes. You’ll want to have a look.

Famitsu thinks Killzone 2′s worth 32/40, according to the game’s review in the magazine’s latest issue. The Guerrilla shooter was given 8/8/8/8 by the mag’s panel.

Tom Clancy’s HAWX got exactly the same score, meaning that either Killzone 2 is as good as HAWX, or HAWX is as good as Killzone 2.

The obvious question: is either as good as Halo?

Get the rest of the marks from NeoGAF.

Ubi just confirmed that the PC version of Tom Clancy’s HAWX has been delayed a week from March 13 to March 20.

No reason was given for the slip.

The game releases for PS3 and 360 on Friday.

Microsoft is to include the NXE update in all new game discs.

The first titles to get this mandatory update will be HAWX and MLB: 2K9.

You won’t be able to play them unless you accept the dashboard update that pops up when you insert the disc.

There’s no escape. Welcome to Avatars, unconnected people.

You can watch the first ten minutes of play from the retail version of Tom Clancy’s HAWX after the break.

The Ubi flight war shooter releases this Friday for PC, PS3 and 360. The movie’s shot from the 360 version.

It’s all about supporting the Ghosts and press A a lot, from our brief experience of it. You get XP from killing things, as well.

Dandy. Look and see.

Thanks, Blue.

The 360 demo of Tom Clancy’s HAWX will release on February 11, as confirmed here.

Sounds pretty swish, to be fair:

The demo is c o-op enabled for up to four players—jump in or jump outwith ease. Gain experience points to unlock three real, licensed planes in the demo: a F-16A Fighting Falcon, a SU-35 Super Flanker, and an AV-8B Harrier II.

It’s free. Do yourself a favour.

Ubi’s put out an HD trailer of the cockpit view from upcoming flight combat banana Tom Clancy’s HAWX. Watch it on GamersHell.

If you’re an Ace Combat fan, our bet is you’re going to love it.

It’s out for PC, 360 and PS3 on March 6 in Europe. We’re still waiting on a US date.

Ubi’s just confirmed Tom Clancy’s HAWX for a March 6 release in Europe.

The flight combat title was previously listed for March.

PC, PS3 and 360 all get a version.

HAWX is visually stunning, featuring lots of bleeping and missile avoidance. You may or may not love it.

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. lead designer Thomas Simon told MTV that although the team respects Namco’s Ace Combat, they feel the gameplay is too closed and promise the H.A.W.X. will rectify that.

“What ‘Ace Combat’ did to the air combat genre is really great,” Simon said. “They [Namco Bandai] really set the basics of that [genre].

“But we felt, in general, it was a bit closed…the frame was too tight and people are getting used to that; we wanted to refresh it a bit, so we opened it via new gameplay features.”

In order to do that, Simon reckons you need to feel part of the world you’re flying around in:

“We wanted to put it in the real world, so you’re not fighting in places that have no emotion,” he explained. “If I’m fighting above Washington, it means something more to me. That was a real choice.”

Ubisoft announced today that Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. is to be released for PC, 360 and PS3 in March.

Ubisoft has revealed that combat flight sim Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. has moved up from Q1 09 to March.

The game is developed by Ubisoft Romania for PC Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 and was officially announced at E3 last year.

Bit of quick confusion here. Ubisoft sent out a release schedule earlier this afternoon listing combat flight sim Tom Clancy’s HAWX as a Q1 release. Eurogamer reported this as a slip – the date was listed in red on the schedule, meaning it had been amended – posting a story saying the game wouldn’t be seen before April next year, or the beginning of Ubi’s fiscal first quarter.

Ubi got it wrong, basically. A rep just did a mass mail to apologise for the “a lot of confusion in regards of the release date of HAWX.

“This is to confirm that the game is planned for released on calendar Q1.”

Step down to DEFCON 3, open up the mountain, etc.

According to this CVG piece, Tom Clancy’s HAWX has been delayed from the end of 2008 until next year.

It’s not the only Ubi game to take a tumble, apparently. The site’s also reporting that Gearbox’s Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway has been pushed back to September 26 from an anticipated August release.

No reason has been given for the delay of either game.

On Shacknews. There’s a ton of new gameplay footage of the Clancy flight-shooter in there, plus developer commentary and a look at Ubisoft’s Romanian studio. More from E3, probably.

Ubisoft and Philips confirmed this afternoon that upcoming flight-shooter Tom Clancy’s HAWX will be amBX enabled.

If you recall, amBX and Ubisoft announced a deal at CES in January, the first part of which was to see the Philips sensory tech applied to Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway.

“Tom Clancy’s HAWX comes hot on the heels of our Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway amBX announcement with Ubisoft and further underlines our commitment to bringing amBX to world class gaming. Building amBX into the game during development maximizes the effects that can be achieved, guaranteeing an incredibly immersive gaming experience,” said Jo
Cooke, amBX, CMO.

“Tom Clancy’s HAWX is another example of a completely different genre of game that amBX can enhance and we’re looking forward to super realistic air combat lighting, wind and rumble effects that PC gamers haven’t been able to experience to-date.”
