Yes, good thoughts indeed, Hellshade, and well explained.

I took the sword in, because the original Icarus was not a flying fighter in any way.

So I added the sword. But "Sons of Icarus taking the Sword" would be too long.

 

Well, they won't use it anyway, and come up with something completely different.

Mmuahahahahahahaaa!!!!

This is very true. They highly likely won't use it. But I think it would be a cool name.

 

Well, since the Devs are obviously going to be putting lots of great new stuff into P4 we could call it:

 

Over Flanders Fields: Legends of the Sky (OFF:LOTS). haha

Oh dear, UKW,

 

I will have to make a double confession: I nicked it, and (the horror) it was from a poem - by Wordsworth:

 

" Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;

The Soul that rises with us, our life's star,

Hath had elsewhere its setting,

And cometh from afar:

Not in entire forgetfulness,

And not in utter nakedness,

But trailing clouds of glory do we come..."

 

You're lucky, I could of quoted the whole thing - it goes on and bloody on.

 

Worth a read but.

 

And - damnation, France just beat Wales !!!

 

I never knew that! (about the Poem I mean)..I knew about Wales! :this:

 

It would be nice to have an opening title in P4 of some suitable prose...just to get one in the mood!

Hmm. There's been plenty of interesting suggestions as to what the title for P4 might be, but it seems to me that the majority of them - including my own previous non-frivolous suggestion (Aces Falling) - all dwell more or less upon the immediate reality of the air war, but edge towards romanticism.

 

That being the case, how about this:

 

OFF: Three Miles to Fall

 

Not much romanticism or heroism there.

 

Or, if you really want to hammer home the point with a massive great Belisha beacon on it, how about:

 

OFF: Dulce et Decorum Est

 

pace Wilfred Owen, who knew whereof he spoke.

OFF: Dulce et Decorum Est

 

Or OFF: Pro patria mori, which cuts more to the heart of the matter.

 

Or perhaps OFF: Dona eis requiem

For some reason, I want to hit myself in the face with a board about now :blink:

 

OFF: Morituri te salutant

 

OFF: Oderint dum metuant

I rather like Pro Patria Mori, for sure it's commonly enough known as a phrase.

 

And course it echoes Wilfred Owen and the hideousness of the War that he conveyed... again, commonly enough perceived.

 

Although one could drop the Mori and just have Pro Patria which features on many a motto and monument.

Winder was saying how P4 isn't really even a "Phase 4" at all. It's a complete re-write from the ground up of almost every single aspect of the game. I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't drop the "OFF" part and give it a brand new name. Pol was wishing for something shorter anyway so if they were going to re-brand the series, this would be the time to do it. Look for a 1 or 2 word title, would be my bet. Three total at most.

OFF: Flying Coffins

 

OFF: Broken Wings

 

OFF: To End All Wars

 

OFF: Fly on - Fight on

 

OFF: Death or Glory

 

OFF: Hell HAS Wings
