Vestiges of Replay function in BoP?
 

Haven't seen this before due to always hitting X from impatience.

Reminds me a lot of Wings of Prey. L1 and R1 to swtich between Allies and Axis.

Yes, I have a story to tell involing the spectator cam.

A couple of days ago I was playing the single mission in Battle of britain were you have a huge airial battle over the channel in your spitfires against the 109E's. I was playing with Limited fuel and ammo, no retries and on simulator. I was doing pretty well having shot down 4 or 5 109s before I ran out of ammo. So I swiched to my wingman, his guns were also dry, as where my second flight leader. His wingman though had enough left for me to take out 1 more 109 before he ran out too. I then swiched back to second flight leader ( 1st leader and his wingman had bought it by then ) and continued to hunt down the final two 109s and get into firing positons, making gun noises just for practice. I then witness the penultimate 109 do a CFIT infront of me along with my wingman a few seconds later :mad:

Well I flew around for 5 or 10 more minutes without the final 109 being shot down by any of the remaining A.I spitfire and by that time I really needed the bathroom so I decided to risk landing at the airfield. That went well, I managed not to flip over and then I though I'd make it look realistic and taxied over to the hangers, parked it and left the game running for 15 or so minutes while I went to the toilet, made a cup of tea and watched the end of one of the world cup matches. I came back to my xbox expecting the game to be completed, but NO - there was STILL the 1 target remaining in the bottom left corner. This was when I made the BIGGEST error. I looked at the map to see what the hell the friendly spitfires were doing. As soon as I had pressed it I knew what was going to happen next. Sure enough the A.I throttled up my engine and plowed my pretty much undamaged Spitty straight into the side of the Hanger :mad::mad::mad::evil::evil::evil:
GAME OVER.
With my dispair, I watched the 3 remaining AI spitfires do mock dogfights with the 109. I remember imagining the dumb AI still thumbing the fire button, not even noticing nothing was coming out, and not even wondering or careing why the 109 didn't recieve any damage. I watched them untill I think It timed out and went back to the menus telling me "This time you have failed to carry out your orders". I had to turn my xbox off then becuase that really took the piss lol .

if all that happened while you were in the bathroom you might want to check with your doctor.

That sucks man. I feel your pain... or at least when I stayed with BoP before going back to '46. I had something like that happen to me as well. But it was the one mission where you fly Hurricanes along Canterbury and have to down the He-111s that keep coming in swarms. That sucked.

lol

You forget though, so much can changed in seconds for better or worse when flying in a combat situation. (That's why I stick with my Russian Planes. Nay, nay, I say, you can't trick me! ;))

I love that feature and wish they would include it in the inevitable (Quote Zanjuri) sequel in expanded form:

- games where respawning is not allowed (last man standing), but where the players can remain with the action as spectators, being able to chose from various watching posts (between planes/cockpit or outside/more distant camera)

- games where it's possible to attend as a spectator only from the beginning

- being able to replay an entire session in various watching posts, and make it recordable in HD and exchangeable on the PS3 network

THAT is an awesome crapper!

Japanese/European SNES is superior! :grin:
