New Air Combat game "Stormbirds" canceled

Looks like we almost had another one, but they got cold feet and canceled its development.

It actually looks like it had very good potential.

yo, ok that looked really sick, first f all that harrier was pretty wicked.
and the yellow and wite fighter looked like a mix between and F-14 and F-15 which would be pretty sick.
and im thinking that last one was some sort of A-10 concept.
Badass!

Yeah I agree, some cool graphics in that video. I LOVE the strafing run that A-10 concept did near the end, sweet.

I realize that, but that thread seems to have disappeared and my point is that this game has now been canceled. Which sucks.
