Heatseeker coming in under the radar.
Scrolling through my GameTrailers.com podcast in my iPod today, I came upon a couple of video clips from the upcoming dogfighting game Heatseeker, which is coming to PS2, Wii, and PSP. It’s by IR Gurus Interactive, the AU developer behind Heroes of the Pacific (76/100 on MetaCritic). It’s a pretty low-profile game, I would say, I haven’t heard a whole lot about it. But from what I’m seeing in these videos, it looks like it might be worth a try.
The official site is right here. The videos are on their site when you click “Game Intel”, or you can just go to GameTrailers and see them there. Or watch them below.
I’m fascinated by the “Impact Cam” for some reason, which shows your missiles reaching their target, and the ensuing elaborate explosions, which they claim come in over a hundred varieties. You gotta love the ’splodes.
I missed out on all these kinds of games last generation. Anyone have any recommendations? The latest word on Heatseeker is projecting that it will hit next month. I’ll be keeping an eye out for previews.
