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

This game is a risk its essentially a new market it could sell well because of that or it could be a complete disaster.

Not necessarily a new market.

Like said before the engine looks incredible but don't see it doing to well.

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?

I know this is off topic but I can't help it

I really hope when we get this sequel to BOP it is handled better than the first one. I'm not sure but if anyone has another game by gaijin could you clarify if you could buy DLC after the release more than once?

The way it seems to me concerning DLC and patches it looks like after they make a game they are either forced or start working on another project right after a game is released or they just choose to.

Look at Apache, there hasn't been any news on DLC (with the exception that consoles aren't getting any), and the next thing we hear about is this human flight game. I wished they were able to focus on one game and keep adding to it like a lot of other devs out there.

If they could just work on one or two games that would be great. Sadly it's not what everyone likes to play.

I'm not saying anything bad about this game because I have yet to play it or read a review. To me it looks very well made but should probably be a download title on PSN or XBL. If it's not I don't see it being priced over $40.00 and probably hitting the bargain bin pretty quickly.

Sorry for the rant just wanted to get that off my chest. Seems like they just haven't met the right major publisher yet.
