It might be cool, but I kinda wonder if it will be much different from any other flight game. Sky diving is a very visceral, wind in yer face sort of experience that may not lend itself to a video game. Still gotta hand it to Gaijen for even trying it, somebody over there has imagination I look forward to the demo.

what an incredible waste of development resources.

On what planet would this game sell more than 30 copies?

I'm with Guilty - this seems to be directed at a very small portion of the market. Not to sure this is going to be a money maker.

It does seem a bit marketless.. If they can introduce a competetive vs element that works then it might have a chance.

I'm more interested at how fast they've got the terrain to move. Good sense of speed + BoP2 = good

yeah I can't picture myself playing this game, but I'm totally impressed with the engine. I had trouble at first picking out the game footage from the real footage.

I'd love to blast through that landscape in a P-38. MAKE IT HAPPEN

Wow, didn't expect this game to come out of Gaijin, but it looks interesting nonetheless.

I'm wondering about the camera control options, looks like so far only the angle which puts you at the jumper's foot looking up has been revealed so far. Would a first person view work in this kind of game?

Get a fan and turn it on while playing this game.

While the intial sound of it didn't interest me at all, the visuals look great. Also, the speed of the gameplay, hopefully, suggests the new Dagor engine update will make B'n'Z more deadly in the sequel.
