canned game "Stormbirds" info

[jakncoke]

Shacknews: An unannounced air combat game titled "Stormbirds," in development by Juice Games, was recently cancelled by THQ, according to former Juice artist Greg Calvert.

Stormbirds was set for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC--before THQ apparently got cold feet. As a result, the team of over 30 developers was laid off by Juiced owner THQ.

"The game was in the same genre as Ace Combat and HAWX," wrote Calvert in a recent blog post. "THQ deemed the project too high risk, [and] as a result the entire team were made redundant on the 1st of December 2008."

Juice Games was acquired by THQ in 2006. The developer is best known for the "Juiced" series of racing titles.

Rather than see the fruits of their labors go to waste, assets from the Stormbirds project have been released by both Calvert and Steven Kerswell of CG studio RealtimeUK. The intro cinematic, created by Realtime, can be seen below.

yea. the trailer was pretty good, looked like it could have made a great movie scene(s) - i usually suck with flying airplane or heli games - i even sucked at that in GTA lol, and I can't fly a heli or plane for my life in BF2...I'm not meant to fly, not even in games lol

The only game I can fly anything well in is Warhawk.

It would be nice to get a new flight simulation game. I use to have a good one for the ps2, can't think of the name. It may be just be though, I like simulation games.
