Microsoft probably could not have chosen a better developer to continue work on Flight Simulator. Incredible work by Asobo. I was very impressed with the quality of the alpha back in february. It felt more like a beta. Unfortunately it does seem like they are in a hury to release the game, as there are still issues in the public beta that I doubt can be fixed in the coming 3 weeks.
- Macha 6y agoHonestly I'm having more crashes and software issues in the builds of the last month or so than I had in the early alpha (though that had more terrain and scenery issues)
- drummer 6y agoYep that was my experience as well. I have yet to experience a crash with the public beta though. Now 3 weeks before launch something as basic as autopilot is also not working well.
- billfruit 6y agoAlso it's kind of amazing that Asobo's last game Plague Tales: innocence, was a totally different type of game. I thought that most such simulation games are be made by teams/studios that have specialized into making that type of stuff.
- as1mov 6y agoAsobo does have prior experience with large open world games, they made Fuel[1]. It held the record for the largest game map ever (it still does?) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_(video_game) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuel_(video_game)
- ZiiS 6y agoThis is just an example of how gulible Guinness are. The first video games map was a many orders of magnitude larger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacewar!
- jrumbut 6y agoI appreciated how philosophical he was getting about everything. Honestly stoked my interest in a game I can't imagine playing much of.
