Birds of Steel; the sequel of BoP

[McQ59]

Personally I would of course love to insert it this very evening, but the news of a sequel in itself makes the future brighter! Seems like both the Lanc and the Mossie is about to taxi out of theire hangars...

What about Konami as the publisher? Do you guys have opinions on that fact? I don't know squat about them myself.

I think they're a good choice.

Komani is an old school Japanese Publisher . One of the top arcade producers.
They also have put out a few sim titles along the rail gendre for ps2 Ps3
That I would love to get my hands on. I think that perhaps Gajin will have better results with them then another "western publisher".

Aircraft carrier wood top (KittyHawk??) with a deck of corsairs in a screen shot looks cool

Hahah just read post above me forgot about the Komani code

Once it doesn't have those horrendous Metal Gear Online hurdles it should be good.

I'm pretty dubious about the "massive multiplayer" aspect. Without dedicated servers there'll be nothing massive going on apart from lag.

100 rendered cockpits sounds doubtful to me too. Probably being overly sceptical though, considering they already have their engine and can focus more on those kind of assets this time around.

Everything else looks great. The only thing I don't like is the U.S. pacific planes, never liked them. But the carrier combat and the Zeros will make up for that. Shame they didn't tip their hat to the European theatre in the trailer, but I guess they wanted to show the new stuff first.

My only reservtion is the cockpits, they look a little like 2D overlays, they look a bit flat..(?) The rest of it looks nice and fast and there's a lot going on.
All in all it looks great, bearing in mind it's at least 7 months away from release.

Fingers crossed that it delivers. (I'm buying it anyway)

I'm also glad to see a big name developer taking interest.

Not sure about 'birds of steel'... were any WWII planes made of steel?
