It's like they were waiting to fool as many flight simmers as they could into buying the inferior Beta console versions, and then they come along only a month and a half after the console release and say "oh by the way here's an upgraded version for PC that has additional content, corrected flight models, better multi-player, superior graphics AND costs less. You silly Western consumers get to buy our game all over again LOL! And then next year we're coming out with a sequel too to fleece you some more! But this time it will only be on consoles (wink wink). This time you can trust us! LOL"

Wings of Prey? More like Wings of Deception.

I couldn't agree with you more. I remember before BOP was released their were rumors that the game was not completely finished (lacking cockpits) and many people were saying that it wasn't true and we should wait and these are just trolls. But, it turned out to be true and wouldn't you know it there's a whole host of issues with this game that haven't been addresses correctly.

I'm boycotting WOP. And to think the developers had the nerve to complain that they were paying for updates out of theor own pocket!

PC simmer? I'd wait for Storm of War (see SimHq)
They'll aim the BOP sequel to be released the same time, probably around the same time as the 70th anniverary of the Battle of Britain...different teams sure but if they combined their advertising budget more will hear about it...probably will include pacific theatres too to get the Japanese market on board, aswell as more American players.

rapid release of v1.1 as a sequel instead of dlc seems to be becoming more widespread in many genres...

just sayin...

This has made me quite sceptical about the release of SoW. It seems like it's going to be amazing, but well, it did that 3 years ago :P.

Everyone keeps saying it will come out next year... The only problem is they say that every year. :rolleyes:

I feel the same. I remember reading there would be no BoP for the PC, so I bit the bullet and bought BoP for the 360 *AND* the Av8r joystick. I really enjoyed the game despite several shortcomings. Mind you I've been flight simming on the PC for a lonnnng time and if I had been given the choice, I would have bought the PC version since I have a Saitek X45 and an excellent PC.... What makes matters worse is that WoP seems to be what BoP should have been in the first place !

What Oleg is saying now is that he needs to release SoW Battle of Britain in 2010 and get back some of the money he has invested in the project or he will run into problems with finance. Already he has had to put on hold the development of the second game in the SoW series, Korea, because he can no longer afford to have two teams working in parrallel on seperate projects, so I think its clear 2010 will be a release schedule he will have to stick to.

I'd love to see a good Korean War game.

Yes, it will be the second game in the SoW series, though its release has been put back because the team that was working on it are now working to speed up the launch of the first game in the series, Battle of Britain.

These pictures show some of the aircraft that will be in SoW Korea when it eventually comes out.
