OT: What do you think of this?
 

Hi all,

Hope it's okay to discuss here.
Gaijin has just announced a new MMO flight simulation game, World of Planes.
There's a new website as well.

What do you think?

I hope it's ok to discuss too but inevitably as has been demonstrated in this community 'all hell will break loose'

but my 2 cents on this are:

it will be another wings of prey......kind of pretty to look at but nothing behind the eyes, generic flight models and engine sounds that have only 2 pitches high/low rpm and aimed more at the console style player.

Oleg will be pissed.

good marketing and interesting website.... wish il2 had the same. wont comment on the game while i havent played it.

If it's gonna follow the same model as World of Tanks then it will be a success. Last time I logged at WoT there were about 28.000 players online, stark contrast to CloD's average of 10-20 players.:)

it will be another wings of prey

Hi bongodriver,

I won't argue with it if the moderators of this forum won't allow discussion of another company's games here. It's just that I saw DCS A10 Black Shark was discussed here without problems, and personally think that relevant OT discussions can help to keep a forum vibrant and alive.

It remains to be seen how much they will evolve from their first take on a PC flight simulation game. IL-2 was also not perfect when it came out first but saw steady improvements, which I'm sure everybody will agree are still ongoing and necessary even with their latest title.

Anyway, thanks for your opinion!

why do you SPAM this here?? noone is interested in the forum where you are a MOD ?? you and other over there where very happy when firstly CoD come out and was really buggy... Alot of guys there pissed on 1C, so why we should look at this? I'll pass...

Hopefully World of Planes will be a success, especially if they will improve on what they delivered with WOP. There is usually no problem discussing other sims on this forum, until the fans of other sims come into these forums and suggest home much better their sim is than this one. Then your bound to get an argument. If you want to degrade a sim you'll get a much better reception in your own forum.

Well I signed up for a beta, with right touches I see potential in it. With a right amount of realism and a twist of mmo they might be on to something.

But it remains to be seen what they can deliver..

Bold statements. I get the feeling I would have heard these before. :grin:
