Key phrases from the press release:
"announces the development"
"announces the internal development"
"inspired by the best-selling Flight Simulator franchise"
"bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre"
"Reinventing these franchises with social, shared experiences"
So it's vaporware, bearing no resemblance to the original, without any of the original developers, which, if it's ever released, will be filled with griefers.
- Groxx 16y ago>if it's ever released, will be filled with griefers. >"Reinventing these franchises with social, shared experiences" and "bring a new perspective to the long-standing genre" And "friends". And "points". Not that I was a fan before, but that seems it would screw over anyone serious about it.
- watmough 16y agoMicrosoft Flight Simulator was such a genius product due to the number of add-on planes, scenery etc., that could be integrated into the sim due to the open-ended nature, SDKs etc. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555857 I'm hope I'm wrong, but a diluted-down, closed game is going to disappoint many of the enthusiasts who've supported Flight Sim over the years, and even in the best-case, the likelihood is that much of the talent and knowledge that built Flight Sim X is gone for good.
