Hellshade 110 Posted April 1, 2011 Could be just an April Fools Day joke, but it looks fun and interesting if they actually do it. http://gaijinent.com/en/games/world_of_planes/ Hellshade Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+streakeagle 871 Posted April 1, 2011 If they combine Wings of Prey's graphics with Aces High's realism and view system, they might have a winner. Those who have played Aces High for over a decade are not going to downgrade the flight and damage modeling for eye candy. Good graphics and some sort of system to make the game easy enough to appeal to newbies could attract a bigger crowd than very difficult with uglier graphics Aces High. But even if they do everything right, is there a market for another WW2 online air combat sim as that market has been shrinking very fast? Realistic = steep learning curve and high workloads that repel most people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDixonUK 5 Posted April 2, 2011 It's a pretty daft sounding name if you ask me (presuming it is a proper game and not an April Fools thing like you thought it might be.) 'World of Planes' gives me a picture in my mind of one of those theme parks or arcades that you sometimes see commercials for on TV... World of Planes! Just off Junction 5 of the M42 - ample free parking! But if it is real then best of luck to them, it sounds good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hellshade 110 Posted April 2, 2011 April Fools : They posted the following, including that WoP 2 is very close to announcement. "Hello gentlemen! I want to answer all questions, especially this one. First of all, that announce was a April's 1st joke. As you all may know we are working on sequel, and this sequel will be announced really soon. And I expect that the feature-set and platform-list of the sequel will surprise you even more, than this fake announcement. And next time we will have new logo, not the almost exactly to Wings of Prey one and new screenshots (not just good old WoP ones) BTW, I am happy that it still looks good enough to make announcement, but please expect new screenshots to be more interesting Of course, the upcoming sequel will have a lot for single-player users, otherwise it won't be a sequel of the game. Stay tuned for a little bit longer - the official announce will happen rather soon. P.S. Please, please, don't crucify us for our sense of humour. We hadn't expect that old screenshots and old logo would still confuse our community " Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JFM 18 Posted April 2, 2011 I'm very glad this is a joke because I was not interested in the online-multiplayer-only aspect at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
