There's only a few more days of waiting left until After Burner: Black Falcon hits store shelves. With over 30 types of aircraft to choose from and 30 full missions, can you feel the after burn on your calloused thumbs yet? Sorry, but it's going to take more than just good flight skills and finger-work to shoot for the skies.

While the bootleg video of the GDC demo got some of you wetting your pants (or at least maybe a certain QJ blogger), here's another one from the dev conference - this time un-bootlegged. Looks a lot better now, doesn't it? It features the dog fighting gameplay you can expect in a high-in-the-sky action game: blow up planes into scraps of metal, dodge oncoming enemy fire, and while you're at it, string all the nifty combos you want.




Update: Just a few screenshots from a recent post-GDC press release:

And I was really hoping...

That this would turn out to be a good game untill I saw this video. That is not DogFighting, It's NASCAR07 with missiles and your the slow driver shooting all the better drivers like sitting ducks as they speed past you in a straight line. I am highly disappointed. M.A.C.H. has way better action than this game and whats even more disturbing is that this is a classic and should of turned out better than the compatition. I'll probabaly still get it to add to my arsenal of titles but willl likely end up the less played of all my titles.
