Publisher etc... Info instead of images for the friday update? ;)

[mazex]

Hi Oleg and team!

All is nice and dandy now and we get regular updates that look better and better... It feels like its getting close to beta now which is great!

If that is true, is it not time to spread the word so we get to hear about the game somewhere else than here in the "IL-2 Sturmovik" forum on 1C? Most of the potential customers have no idea that this game is being developed. The couple of thousand geeks here in this forum will unfortunately not make you beat the MS Flight Sim X sales figures - or dust that new crap (?) FS title they are brewing in Redmond

Marketing is naturally the responsibility of the publisher but is it possible to give us any information about who is going to publish the game etc - or is it to early? I guess 1C will publish it in Russia? There is no information at all available about the game being in development at http://www.1cpublishing.eu ? Is there maybe some info on the Russian 1C site?

Anything you can share about a western publisher?

Regards /Mazex

Any info about SOW would be great.

Seriously guys IMHO SOW is still a long way off hitting the shelves, there is nothing that we have seen so far that suggest a release is forthcoming. However the work being done is superb and im sure it will all be well worth the wait.

I think he's actually serious.

I hope he's wrong, because delivery as late as he suggests might mean non-delivery, but I do now believe he's sincere.

Ubisoft have made it clear in a recent published interview that they will only be handling existing tripple A titles (Assasin's Creed etc) for the near future and will not be publishing any new products.
They burnt their fingers with Silenthunter 5 and their CEO stressed "It is better to invest in an existing successful title than to risk money on five or six new titles with very little chance of recovering your money."

So Ubisoft are out. (Something most of us have known for a while.)

So who else is big enough to risk money on a new flight sim. Obviously 1C in Russia, but in the west we have few big players left.
EA Games is most likely the best bet.
