ArmA2? I guess there is more involved since they have yet to find a publisher that thinks they can pull it off. At least ArmA2 doesn't suffer from any bugs though, like you pointed out. The patch 1.03 will solve and improve/balance the following in-game issues: Major
Engine:
Missions:
Data:
The patch 1.04 will mainly solve and improve/balance the following in-game issues: Major
Enjoy! |

Re: Houndstone Hawk ....."So, there's more involved in releasing one third of a combat flight sim game on a console to, say, ARMAII? So basically, we're enjoying better visuals but going vastly backwards as content goes." And when in my post (copied above) did I point out or even hint on ARMA2 having or not having bugs!!! Surely most folk would read into that as technically comparing 2 titles from different platforms. It's a cheap trick indeed, throwing words into ppl's mouth RK & then backing it up with a page of copied material of no relevence to the subject that only serves to make you look a bit ....well, foolish really ![]() Last edited by Houndstone Hawk; 10-06-2009 at 10:06 PM. |

I knew I wasn't the only who thought a straight port of IL2 1946 with some graphical enhancements would sell TONS more and have a much longer lifespan.
A straight port would have EVERYTHING this game has now. It would have arcade - for the noobs, you can turn stalls off. It would have simulator settings for people who prefer realistic flying and gunnery. A hardcore-lock-your-butt-in-the-cockpit for the serious players. Everything was an option on the PC version. Yea, the game is still fun, but it hasn't gotten me to stop playing the PC version - depsite the better visuals. Consoles need to mature as their demographic matures. I think the console players that are buying BOP can handle some extra options/sophistication. |

- A complete 1946 port would make BoP a much more complete game even if it didn't had any graphic enhancements - Console players can handle as much options/sophistication as PC players However : - Its not easy to port existing software to a new plaform unless you started development with mutiple platforms in mind - There is no XBOX support for PC flightsticks / Track IR and only MS can change that I wish that BOB SOW was released for the XBOX 360 , we would get the next generation combat flightsim without the need for additional PC upgrades. |

In the past most straight PC ports did awful in sales. This is why Firaxis tried to make a "civ-lite" (CivRev) for the consoles this time instead of a straight port of the Civ 4. Civ and civ2 sales were very poor on the console in the past. One exception seems to be sports. One reason for this is sports games usually come out every year thus slowly add in options at first you only found of the PC. Not only do most console gamers want the console be "hassle free" compared to PC they also prefer game to be hassle free as well. It's seem obvious to me since it's a lot easier to find a arcade match than a sim one online with BOP. Last edited by Smidlee; 10-07-2009 at 11:44 PM. |

CivRev is awesome, but unfortunately buggy as hell. Otherwise I'd still be playing it today.
