Heatseeker PSP screens and info scream into view
At this rate there won't be anything left in the sky to shoot
It must be Fighter Pilot Video Game Day, because braving the jetstream of this morning's After Burner: Black Falcon screenshots and video fly-by come Heatseeker screens – and not one but two videos.
Granted, the two preview trailers you'll find on the game's official website are actually from the PS2 version (though it should still give you a flavour of the game) but Heatseeker isn't about to be so easily outmanoeuvred by its rival, and as such it's flown in packing additional information.
As a supplement to the details we were able to disclose during the game's announcement, we now know the PSP version features missions designed specifically for short-burst play in order to fit with the nature of handheld gaming. This means stages have been split into sizeable chunks, so that you're never too far away from a mission checkpoint – in fact, Codemasters is claiming you'll find these every ten minutes.
Also revealed is a wireless multiplayer mode for up to four budding pilots, seemingly offering team deathmatch style options.
Heatseeker is currently cleared to engage in combat in late March, a time that should also see After Burner: Black Falcon in the air. All we need now is for M.A.C.H. to hit the runway this spring as promised and everyone can look forward to a mighty digital dogfight.
