Microsoft not out of the flight sim game after all...

[mazex]

Well, adding a "babe" with a headset on the marketing site and skipping "simulator" from the old worn in brand gotta say something about what we can expect from this title. M$ are now desperate after initially failing to understand the social networking Web 2.0 buzz so they will probably do some insane mash-up of a flight sim and facebook...

C'mon Oleg - do an ad site for SoW with a hot WAAF babe to counter their move!

Aieee! Yes I missed the 'your' part and read 'our', just skimmed it. I always thought you were American though....Strange that. Your English is superb btw......which should have made me suspicious anyway come to think of it. Kidding my Yank friends, chill!

On topic, does anyone know if the same team they fired back in 2009 are working on this, and have been rehired? The mind boggles. I hope they are not 'dumbing down' the title to appeal to the lowest common denominator just to make it more popular.....that would be a shame.

The fact they have dropped 'Simulator' from the title does not bode well methinks. Unless they are just trying to be 'Hip' and re-brand. I can see it now, a mission to rescue rapper 'Jay-Z' from a towering skyscraper inferno, and transport him to his next 'gig' in a Harrier Jump Jet. Get da kidz wit it!

To pass as an American is easy

So what are we supposed to be seeing in the video. It stops for me after about 5 seconds each time I play it..maybe there is another link to it?

EDIT: Got it to show. Not impressed.

Just FYI, This American considers hellbomber a bloody twit, and will add him to his ignore list forthwith. One need not put down other countries to be a patriot. It's too bad that it's the biggest fools who shout the loudest and get the most attention.

Please don't consider this an attack on one person, but a defense of a whole people.

Almost poetic there. Nice one BadAim.

Note that the post where he indicated he was trolling "for fun" has disappeared... along with mine, which was saying something along the same lines as what you just said. Random post deletion FTL.

The sea looks nice in the short teaser, but I'll hold my judgement until I see what Oleg comes up with. Who knows what SoW will look like with all the bells and whistles.

Come on, I cant believe that you guys can´t recognice the difference between a renderer movie and real time image. That video is renderer for sure, not RT.

Baron is speaking sense here. Anyone remember the promo for CFS3?
