New HD video from the latest Alpha test of World of Planes

[Mysticpuma]

What I like about this Alpha is that if you run it a few times you occasionally see different camera angles from the scenes.

With that in mind I ran the test a couple of times and put together this 5-minute video to some 'inspiring' music!

If you register at Yuplay you can download and test the Alpha yourself, but if you don't feel like it, here is the video showing just a few of the aircraft and effects coming soon!

If it has full CEM and awesome damage modelling then it will be a winner. Will be interesting if it goes towards an arcade game or a simulator game. A bloke at work is right into World of Tanks (His unit is currently world champs). He reckons the tanks are well modelled and it's more a sim than an arcade game.
We'll see I suppose.
I still hope CloD gets to what it wants to be though. I'd rather CloD at the moment.

world of planes looks kind of promising actually, from those pictures at least.
not sure how world of warplanes will pan out, although guessing it'll follow a similar path as world of tanks/warships.

lol

not a chance.

it's most certainly a game. it may have calculations regarding penetration, armour angles, overmatching etc, but the layout is all arcade. a lot of things have been adjusted from historical values for balance, or you get tanks that are mismatched in terms of historical opponents. also, tanks with hitpoints? the 88/L56 being unable to oneshot shermans and t34s? mounting schmalturm on PZIVs? engagement ranges unusual above 3-400m?

game.

As the developers of World of Planes already have said that the mapsize will be similar to Wings of Prey one can see how far the "simulation" goes!

IIRC, they also stated this was due to the online nature of the game. They said there's nothing wrong with maps 300KM by 300KM or something like that

It looks ok, the atmospherics and terrain textures look nice, but nothing exceptional at this stage. Oh the other hand, they have produced a fair amount of promising details considering this is alpha, compared to the CloD alpha product of 2008/9.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. You can never have too many sims (if one can call this a sim, but I won't flame at this stage). it is funny to see CloD fan-bois flaming this product; the same hypocrites who moan at others for pointing out issues with CloD.

It looks like it is just a benchmark.It interrogates your system and runs the test.It then phones home to tell mommy how well your hardware ran their game.


World of Planes – Time to check your system!

Gaijin Entertainment thanks you for your interest in World of Planes. We are working very hard on the project and are already running internal tests of a future Beta version. But here’s the thing: PCs come in thousands of different configurations and as you can imagine, to make a game work well on all of them is an extremely difficult task. That’s why we need your help! In order to tune the Beta even before releasing it we have made a special World of Planes Direct X9 Benchmark. This program will allow you to see a part of World of Planes and us to test the performance of your computer. The benchmark will send us your settings and test results which will give us an idea on how we are doing with the current version and what needs to be done before release. To participate in the World of Planes benchmark, please register for it at YUPLAY.com !

Like World of Tanks, it's an arcade game, emphasis on game.

Yeah, well, the video sure does not give any clues about sim vs. arcade.
The logo on their website looks too much like wings of prey, so too arcadey for me I guess.

Liked the Flak explosions

It looks alright but you can make anything look cool with editing.
