Getting quiet around here.....

Yeah the fact that Anton hasn't posted a message in a while means he's probably really busy. Which means we might see some stuff sooooooon.

Personally i don't care about screenshots, videos etc. I already know i am going to buy it. I'd just like to know when i can buy it.

The lack of P.R. on this game is disturbing. It was announced last June, and still there's nothing on Xbox Marketplace, no website, no decent previews, no release date etc etc. Could be looking at 2010 at this rate.

unless there are severe money problems at 1c this year

they are not going to push back their experiment to dip their toes into the console market.

We should be getting info quite soon with a new website

Also just found on the web that 505 Games will be at E3 in June. Guaranteed to be a big marketing push for BoP.

Anton assured us that unless World War III broke out, the game won't slip 2009.

And yes, i do agree with Tomo as well with the release date. I know that they've only recently finished the Xbox version, but they really need to give us stuff that will keep us on our toes.

I am starting to not visit this site as often now because of that.

Man I have a itch!!! That needs to be scratched by BOP. I will say one thing the feedback from Anton is awesome. I have been a member of Ubisoft Hawx forum for quite a while now and not onced have I seen something written back to the public from the dev team. To be honest they suck. I do like the game but they only thing I dislike about the game is that there is no take off and landing. There are all kinds of people that hate the new assistance off cam but I think it is fresh and new and it's fun. I bought the first IL2 and loved every minute of it but I have a Apple now and can't play it. This game will be so awesome I will never put it down if it is anything like the first one.

I know. When i first started in the forum i thought i would only get some rough or no answers, but Anton is able to answer most of them for us.

I cant wait to see the site soon and see some more IL2BoP info etc. and I hope this game becomes a giant success and make a sequel (or maybe an update or download with Pacific fighters or 1946 would be very awesome))

Good Luck Guys!

DLC is definitely the hip thing right now...

Not only can it enhance an already solid title but it renews interest by bumping it back into the 'new release' column, so to speak.

IGN had an article about the random pricing of the DLC, which I tend to agree with - the worst offender funny enough was another flight title, a certain Ace Combat 6 with 70 different add-ons (mostly paint schemes) which ring up to about $180!

Yeah. Ridiculous.
Value is the key with something like that. Bethesda Studio is basically writing the DLC value bible with three (big) new Fallout 3 campaigns released in three months at about 8 bucks a pop. Nuts.

Hmmm yep most DLC is just a blatent money grab.

I wish Microsoft would change the "points" system to a $ system. That way people at least have a concept of how much they are really spending.

The only DLC i have ever paid for is additional multiplayer maps.

Given the seemingly brilliant environments of BOP i would have no problem paying for new multi maps. One thing i do not like is when publishers hold back certain content just so they can release it a week later as DLC.

Here in Australia, the Ace Combat 6 DLC was available before the actual game was available. Laughable.
