any chance of an update tomorrow?
 

As in the title, I am just wondering out loud. I figure since President Medvedev took a whirl a few weeks ago, there might be a chance. Also, based on 1C being at a computer game show, with Oleg representing (our much longed for) SoW_BoB, there is a chance that some new content is being shown. If that is a compilation of what's been shown here, we've missed nothing. If some new stuff (videos of actual gameplay, new screen shots) then we might be in for a bit of good luck! :)
Perhaps Luthier is planning to present us with a really nice report from the show? As I said. Just wondering out loud. :D Well. Back to RL.

¬¬?

I'm just saying "two weeks" is always good for a laugh when applied to Oleg! It's a classic that never gets old! :D

Well the release is almost upon us, so maybe they are saving the best bits for September! :grin::grin:

Almost upon us...September?! Say it ain't. pulease!!

Come on guys! It's not September any time soon!! We have a whole, beautiful summer ahead of us to get some tan before SOW:BOB will make us stuck to the computer for every night the rest of the year! Run outside and look at some women! They are wearing short skirts, even in Norway!

What is women? Is it a form of HOTAS control?

As the mythical release date draws closer, who can help but salivate Pavlovian-style at the thought of SoW? Hell, we can see women in short skirts (short-shorts, tight jeans, etc) every day (and we do). How often do you see news of SoW? Sure, real life goes on. No denying that, but mostly it's bad news every day (will South Korea retaliate against NK for torpedoing one of it's warships, killing 46 sailors? Can Greece really pay back the billions of Euros in loans? Will The U.S. have to learn to speak Chinese as a nation of indentured servants? Will that finally mean full employment?)

So let me daydream of trying to get a squirt an an enemy fighter in a new sim that runs halfway decently on my system (when I get one). Let me fancy the living and dying in the virtual world of air combat over the south of England.

Wait! Wait! Hot legs at O'Clock! :D

I think it was sometime is 2004 when BoB was first announced as being in the works.
That seems like a long time (it really is) but will all seem worth the wait when we finally have a copy in our hands.

LOL this made me nearly coat my keyboard and screen in coffee! :D

just thinking out loud...
 

Does anyone else here wonder what Oleg might have shown President Medvedev, or might be demonstrating at this Game conference that he has not shown to his faithful followers? Maybe he's lining up further financial support, or other business aspects of SoW. I wonder if there is a spy at the conference who might be preparing to spring some major news on us about SoW. Nah! I shouldn't let my imagination run wild. Still, things that make you go "hmmmm...."

It is customary before a game release to release a demo of the game.
So people can get a idea what the game is like.
Prolly the Russian President was playing the SOW demo and secured a few copies for his buddies back home.
Now President Medvedev have some flying hours to improve his uber skillz he is sure he can beat us all online.
I think the demo will be released as soon as President Medvedev gives the OK :cool:

Were is my dose!? :)

In the post, but you know what the postman's like ;)

Haven't we all drank the Kool-aid by now? :)

btw, Medvedev better be practicing. I hear Putin's already gunning for him in the virtual skies! :D

Why does everyone keep questioning the September release date, or say that its mythical, this date came straight from Oleg, dont you guys believe him??

I believe that when Oleg said it, he believed it...

+1!

But I'm starting to loose faith in that estimate myself. I think a release towards the end of this year is more likely.

I think that we should see it this year, but september does seem too soon. October to me looks tangible.

2020 looks tangible to me

who was it that said "smoke dope 'cause there ain't no hope"? Must have been a fallen SoW_BoB fan! Imagine how computer hardware sales will soar once SoW hits the shelves. :D

My hopes are in the statement that Oleg have made that he MUST release SOW this year by financial reasons.
My bet is in a Christmas release,seems more realistic to me right now.;)

I hope the Gods of virtual air combat don't make us wait that long!! Is it selfish to hope Oleg needs the $$ by June or July?
Flyby out

A release for the Christmas market would be a release in August.

All the updates do is give us a little tweak of confidence. I look at the updates of course, but really it's kind of a mute thing for me at this point.

More pictures of stuff is fine, but the real meat will be in the play through of the application for me.

So, I don't lose anything if there is no update. Just get to read a bunch of new posts from members wondering when we'll get an update.

I'm not knocking the apprehensions, just not going to constipate myself because of updates.

NM, you seem to have the perfect antidote for Oleg's evil Pavlovian experiment! Meanwhile I need to find a cure because every Friday I start salivating over the prospect of a new and exciting update. :D (j/K) Yeah, we all can take a step back, and let our bowels relax on Fridays (but not too much; don't want to risk a secret attack by explosive diarrhea!!)
