Nothing wrong with Ubisoft games.  They no longer use that stupid copyright protection software and they do publish some very good games.  I'm looking forward to HAWK, hope it plays as good as it looked in the trailer.

I wouldn't have high expectations as his name has been attached to all kinds of mediocre and low-class games already.

Yes, the original RB6 was a good game. I hope that with the opening in flight sim genre something as good will come out, but as I said I'm not expecting it to be a spectacular game.

no kidding, after Rogue Spear everything went to pot..

CLancy and UBIsoft seem to be all about consoles now, with the PC stuff being more "on the side"..

Im all for more and new flight related stuff.. but Im not holding my breath.

I predict...it will be available only for consoles.....and therefor it will not be a flight simulator.

The only thing I liked in this trailer was the Rafale. Everything else is cheesyland along the movie "Stealth". :rofl

it's supposed to be an arcade style flight sim, along the lines of the Ace Combat franchise.  Slated to be both a PC and console release.

What the hell???? Were those supposed to be American troops? If so why are they flying a French fighter, and if they are French why weren't they surrendering?? :D

PS3, Xbox360 and PC...PC always sucks hind tit these days to consoles. Especially when it comes to games from most of the large gaming houses. Oh well my son will probably get a kick out of it around Christmas.

UBI didn't publish the orginal RB6 series. Red Storm did but they were bought out by UBI. After that the series went to crap. Turned into the typical console first PC an after thought production.

UBI has a very bad rep for rinse and repeat toss crap out to make a bunch of sales and forget about the last product they released. IMO this one looks like another Xbox special.

PC's are by far the best game platforms out, there is no way any console on the market can compete with a top of the line gaming PC.  The only reason people claim that PC gaming is dead is because of the sales lacking behind console games.  It has nothing to do with the quality of PC games over their console counterparts.  The lower sales number is a direct result of PC game piracy.  That's why there is another big push to develop better anti-piracy/copyright protection for PC games within the gaming industry.  The same problem with PC game piracy is also affecting Nintendo in the way of pirated DS games used on a modded DS.  The company I worked for just released one of the first DS game with anti-piracy/copyright system built in.  Play Rings of Fate on a modded DS and the game stops after 20 minutes and won't play again unless its played on an unmodded DS.
