Product Mini Profile Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. in: Flight Sims (PS3) links » p/reviews

Ubisoft reveals it is teaming up with U.S. satellite/aerial imagery and geospatial information provider GeoEye to deliver high resolution maps for their upcoming aerial combat game, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.  In charge of its own fleet of Earth observation satellites, GeoEye already provides over 250 million square kilometers of satellite map images to Microsoft and Yahoo!.  Similiar maps will appear in H.A.W.X. to represent the landscapes you'll be flying far above while undertaking missions.

The map images are only the first part of the equation.  To further bring the landscape to life, Ubisoft is also partnering with both the U.S. Geological Survey and the Center for Earth Resources Observations and Science (EROS) to implement topographical features of terrain into H.A.W.X. to literally give the otherwise flat maps some three-dimensional depth.

Previously scheduled for launch this September 08th, H.A.W.X. is now due sometime before March 2009.
