New Gaijin "flight" game (Not WWII)
 
www.skydivegame.com

It's a skydiving game... terrain looks nice.

EDIT: I added this from the Gaijin Forum

Ever since the dawn of time, man has been wishingly looking up into the sky hoping that we one day might be able to fly.

You are standing on a mountain ledge. The valleys of the Italian Alps stretch out below you, lush with glistening waterfalls, winding streams, and groves of proud pine trees. It all seems tiny from up here.

You jump...

You’re flying through the air, gaining speed. Arms by your sides, you fly along the ridge, the mountain’s wall coming dangerously close to your body. By moving your arms just a little, you’re able to clear the rock wall. But suddenly a huge rock is right in front of you, closing in fast! You raise your arm up and turn right, narrowly avoiding it by just a few feet.

A few seconds later, your heart starts beating again. You didn’t realize you were holding your breath.

Skydive: Proximity Flight is a unique wingsuit flying sim that puts you inside the suit for an amazing — and totally safe — extreme skydiving experience. With actual wingsuit flying, the suit restricts your motion, and the terrain can threaten your safety. In Skydive, your movements are completely unrestricted. Use the motion controller to speed up, maneuver, and soar through the air. Learn mid-air tricks that only professional skydivers can do, or make up your own tricks alone or with friends. Lose yourself in this exciting airborne adventure with realistic graphics, precise sounds, and stunning aerial landscapes. Best of all: enjoy the intense adrenaline rush of wingsuit flying without putting yourself in any real danger!

Some Features:


•Enjoy total freedom during flight — it’s the closest you can come to flying like a bird;

•See beautiful, real - world locations from a brand new vantage point. Realistic graphics, precise sound, and a total new skydiving experience make you feel like you’re really flying!

•Cope with unpredictable weather conditions that can impact your flight;

•Try real aerial tricks or invent your own;

•Different suits, characters and locations to enhance your Skydive experience;

•Choose from different game options including free flight, challenges, and multiplayer modes.

...and I thought flight sims were niche.

Impressive!...but i think they are pressing their luck buzzing that stone wall that close. think it will make a cool game...

It might be cool, but I kinda wonder if it will be much different from any other flight game. Sky diving is a very visceral, wind in yer face sort of experience that may not lend itself to a video game. Still gotta hand it to Gaijen for even trying it, somebody over there has imagination :-P I look forward to the demo.

what an incredible waste of development resources.

On what planet would this game sell more than 30 copies?

Rambo Rich 360 05-02-2011 09:19 PM

I'm with Guilty - this seems to be directed at a very small portion of the market. Not to sure this is going to be a money maker.
