1C and Ubisoft Announce IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover

[kendo65]

Great news! I see that the first page announcement now mentions the German campaign.

This is a bit cheeky - but lets think of absent friends - Tree must be sick as a parrot today - wrong on 3 big issues:

1. DX11 - confirmed.
2. Ubisoft as publisher - confirmed.
3. Release date - March - confirmed......Spring 2012 my arse!

------

Feb 11th - decided to revisit this piece of ancient history in the interests of fair play, justice, and a nagging guilty conscience - or maybe it's just masochistic self-indulgence? Probably I'm just bored. No-one's probably going to read it anyway - bit like a tabloid issuing the retraction to their front-page headline on page 34 in very small print....

Anyway, hindsight (which, as we all know, is a 'wonderful thing') has revealed Tree not to have been as wrong as I made out.

A re-evalution shows:

1. DX11 - Tree was right, though God knows how, when Ubi didn't even know? Lucky guess, esp?, or sleuth-like powers of deduction (or is it induction?).

2. Ubisoft as publisher - Wrong - debates about when they got involved not withstanding.

3. Release date - Wrong, though arguably only because the devs left out half the game [deliberate overstatement before anyone takes offense]. Arguably if DX11, dynamic weather and dynamic campaign had been included, we may not have seen the game to 2012.

So there you have it. Tune in next week to see me whip myself with stinging nettles...
