Patch Update

[kozzm0]

That's all any developer is about lately, cheap sequels. Make a quick sequel, no matter how crappy, to make the quick buck.

But there's a rule about sequels: first you have to make a great game and sell a lot of copies, before you can make a sequel.

EA is working on their millionth sequel to Battlefield but they're calling it Bad Company 2 which makes it the sequel to the lame Bad Company. They'll only get away with it cause they're EA and they have graphics fanboys.

I don't think 505 can get away with that. BoP has to be finished before they can make a sequel.

Judging by the number of players on the boards, I'd guess it hasn't sold 50k copies yet, not on ps3 at least. When the game isn't selling well isn't the time to talk sequel.

I think you are very wrong here. The graphics in Bad Company or BF1943 have never been very good or fantastic. Anyone can see that by simply comparing.

I think those games are popular because they have multiplayer that is fluid, and works... Something which cannot be said about many other console games.

The WW1 Fokker D.III. pictures looks like "Red Baron II" or "Red Baron III", from the graphics.

I always prefered the Pfaltz myself.

Out of all the simulators ever made, the "Red Baron" series was the best ever .... it would make a good console game, so long as they don't loose the realism somehow with the usual "dumbing down for kids" way some conversion to consoles go.

Bad Company made COD 4 and COD WaW look seriously crap by comparison. COD 2 and COD 3 were the best versions and the multiplayer on both is superior to the later versions.

The only gripe with Bad Comapny is that holding a knife makes a player bullet proof.

Operation flashpoint has a few bugs and the first update patch arrived yesterday. Still loads to be fixed and the Code Masters were against releasing it before all the bugs were fixed. Now the game is in running repair.

The days of one person writing a PC gaming classic alone, such as "X-Com Alien Unknown" are long gone. The likes of Jullian Gollop just don't exist anymore and it takes a team of programmers just to make something work with Windows.

Not all computer or console games have bugs.... "Battle Stations Pacific" is bug free, so is "Left For Dead".

Using the excuse that all games are full of bugs is like saying that because the Russian Voshkod motorcycle was a poorly built and unreliable piece of crap (I have a friend who owns one and it has never actually run in over 20 years) therefore it is OK to make all motorcycles like that. OK, so China seems to have fallen for that one.

What is wrong with striving to make something as good as it possibly can be and showing up the competition??

Actually that looks like "Rise of Flight"

It's Over Flanders Fields. It was originaly a CFS 3 mod, but the the creators completely rewrote the code and released a stand-alone retail version. Definitely worth a look if you have a PC.

Cheers!

The crashes on RB 2 and RB 3 are spectacular. Aircraft hit the ground and fragment, parts scattering with true physics and the engine block tumbling for a few hundred metres.

Players have the option of baling out of a plane without a parachute, as the Allied generals didn't believe in issuing them..... the mission / career ends when the player splats on the ground.

Does "Over Flanders Field" have the sounds of the aircraft rigging creaking and straining during aerobatics?? Players had to learn to become atuned to their steeds to avoid mid air break ups.

Do you mean the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane? Or as in the picture, the Albatross D.V I88Bastard provided? It's not a Albatross DIII, due to the bottom wing size.

I havent been around the past week. Been taking a break for awhile. Was starting to get burnout. I like the game too much to burn out on it. I just stopped in to see if the patch came out yet. Guess not. I will be back at it soon...

From your point of view maybe, but many others will disagree. Its all down to preference mate for me i found IL2 series to be great, but my greatest - EAW!! i know others wont feel the same though. Its a case of each to their own.
