STORMBIRDS: THE GAME THAT MAY NEVER BE MADE

Unfortunately, Stormbirds is a game that was cancelled after THQ pulled the plug on a team of developers at Juice Games. It is apparent that THQ feels they just can’t compete with Namco and Ubisoft. For whatever reason, they feel that this game couldn’t compete with Ace Combat and HAWX. Well I disagree. If this is the direction Stormrise was heading, I’d be much more interested in playing Stormbirds rather than its competitors. I’ve played Ace Combat before and I’m not impressed with it’s wonky controls and Google Earth terrain. The HAWX trailer looks like it’s taken straight from the movie Behind Enemy Lines so nothing new or innovative with that. It doesn’t look close to the potential of Stormrise which is too bad. From watching this high quality action CG trailer by Realtime.UK it’s clear THQ has gone cuckoo. They’d rather give us another 50 Cent game instead.
