Most development teams are very good and take great pride in their work. It's publishers that come between the developers and the communities like a chaperone at prom, killing all the joy.

In my experience, the people that make games - and I'm talking about the people on "the frontlines" doing the actual coding, textures, modelling, sound, animation etc - are more motivated by a desire for appreciation of the final product than anything else.

It's the guys in suits (that tend not to be gamers either) that ruin it for everyone. Unfortunately they are also the ones that a) get rich off everyone else's hard work and b) put up the funds to get the game to market.

Very few studios can afford to say "it'll be done when it's done". But the ones that can afford that stance, often put out some great games (Rockstar North, iD...).

Hey developers/publishers/whoever is responsible for this series, frankly I don't want to hear about sequels or PC versions at least for another year or two. I want to hear about fixing the version I bought or rest assured it will be the last Sturmovik I ever buy. I've had a lot of fun with the limited time I've been able to spend with this game, but I'm not made of money and I expect this product to be supported for more than two weeks after its launch date. Otherwise, what faith do I have in buying your next product, which will probably be bungled just as badly post-release?

Why not get 1946? It maybe a bit grey at the corners, but it's still a good reliable Il-2. But I'm guessing, your just a console player? (No problem with that, just saying you probably are because of your lack of interest in the PC version.)

I actually am a PC gamer too. Normally I would be very excited about Wings of Prey but as I explained in another post here, I feel a little p-oed about how we were given no warning it was coming out for PC 'cause I would have skipped the console version in favour of it. Now that I have the Xbox version I don't really feel like spending another $40 on essentially the same game just to get the "best" experience. I wish they'd spend their time incorporating those updates into the console version we all paid for rather than going off making PC versions and a sequel.

You know, I think I might (get 1946) because at least its cheap. I have Forgotten Battles from way back.

I remember playing one of those for a Gran Turismo simulator at a car show, but I never thought a household gamer would have one XD

Oh I agree, there are just too many bezels in the last one, actually for me, there are too many bezels in the six monitor display also.

I like my config the best, a big 30" in the center and two smaller 20"s on the side to give you a little bit more!

However, when bezeless monitors come out it is going to be insane!

I have seen some really amazing HD projectors out there. I mean you have to get one that costs some money and one that has some serious lumens, but you can get really huge with one.

Thanks for the info on your setup l88bastard. I'm not looking at running a 3 screen setup and I just want to be able to run OFF close to max settings at 1080. I just built this AMD Phenom II X4 940 black 3.0 ghz .
It was cheap and I just built a new house ,so I didn't have a lot of extra cash, but I think it should do what I need it to do over the next 5 yrs.

I just haven't figured out what kind of card to go with. I'm going to use SLI and I'm wondering if one card in SLI with the intergrated Nforce 750a will let me do what I want. I mean its only 1080.

MW2 has been out for 36 hours. In that time, IW and Activision have created and released 2 patches for the game.....following feedback from the forums.

So, let's not hear any more nonsense that it takes Sony weeks to test and release patches - clearly it doesn't. It's plain (ignore the pun) incompetance from either 505 Games or the dev.

Crazy
