A hope for more flying games
 

I have been trying to put in to words what about the problems with IL-2 disappoints me the most.The problem I feel will be bigger than just this game.
We all waited along time for a good flight game .Over-g is the only flight game of any value for console before IL-2.A long line of poor flying game before IL-2 I am sure hurt the IL-2 sale`s .Now after the update problems have killed this game do you think there is any hope of game makers investing in another flying game. I am not trying to complain I would like to hear if anyone has any news about any other flying game in the works.I would love to hear about one not from the same people that burned us on this game.Anyone know anything.

Let's just hope for a sequel to Over G.

yeh maybe ea or sony make it the flight combat equivelent of mag or gt5

Great thread GUNNY, I have been contemplating myself.

I believe that "HEAD TRACKING" is the key, once it hits consoles... producers will be tempted to make more flight sims. I'd sure be thrilled to see another "REALISTIC" modern air combat sim on console with everything! :)

Over G Fighers 2 would be amazing! I also wish they made a console version of FSX.

I agree, "OVER G 2" on PS3 would be irresistible! :grin:

hmm...Over G Fighters 2... i like it, i like it allot.

Head tracking would not be necessary, nor even a flight stick, if we had a game with the same control scheme as Over G. It was perfect in my opinion. It was simple to look all around while maintaining control of your craft at the same time.

Count my vote for Over G 2. Hopefully someone at Taito catches wind of the pent up demand for such a game. I'd never play anything else.

I've found zip as far as flight games are concerned,e apart from rocketeer/dark void sort of games...everyone seemingly just wants handguns and vengance these days...I guess the demographic that wants ww2 type air combat is seen as mostly PC gamers :(

As far as consoles are concerned I guess we might have to hope for a sequel....

Has 505 dropped IL-2??:confused:

Huh? How could they drop it, its already been published by them lol

The developers, Gaijin, arn't tied to 505. Only the game IL-2 BoP is. Gaijin can try to get whoever they want to publish a sequel.

they should change the name, drop the IL2 because im sure general masses are not familiar with that plane.. and maybe put a more iconic plane on the cover.. Ive had friends who picked up "blazing angels" but wont even touch IL2 BOP.. lol

IL2 BoP HAS an iconic plane on the cover, namely a Stuka dive bomber. And thats getting shot to s**t by a pair of spitfires. Cant get more iconic than that. And it doesnt matter of the masses are familiar with the IL2 or not, most know of the previous PC game already. SO adding it to the console version was a way to practically gaurantee sales, specifically from the PC sim crowd. This is because some people seem to forget that just because you have one system (ie PC) that does not preclude you from having another (IE PS3/360).

And btw I have pals who dont give a rats ass what the name is or whats on the cover and play a demo of a title first before buying. For BoP this meant 2 of my mates bought it on release, with a third cadging it from me on occasion when Im not playing. That is what sells games not fancy pants covers and silly names. Good demos for good games win hands down every time.

Shame the most iconic part was taken off for 'artistic reasons', huh. Anyone trying to get arty with a Stuka clearly doesn't get it.

Well the genre has not been forgotten. This spring there will be Afterburner for download on psn and xbox and there is also another ace combat coming to psp. Granted these games are going to be arcade but just stating the flying games are far from being dumped. Hopefully they would make a Over-G 2 and make it a multiplat.

And we are all hoping for a sequal to BOP with more features.

When WoP is properly done they should port that. no il2 name so there shouldnt be any problems (apart from publishers lol)
