Il-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover Roadmap

[Scarecrow]

Keep up the good work gents! Six months from now you'll be basking in the glory of having produced another flight sim phenomenon, and the criticism of the last week will be a vague and distant memory whilst you're enjoying some well earned R&R.

Not quite, I bought the game because I saw it was finally released and as anyone should expect, I believed that the game was finished and ready to go.

I can't see the point in defending developers for delivering incomplete products. Would you be so willing to defend say Sony or Samsung for giving you a monitor or TV that doesn't work yet, but they plan on getting it working for you sometime in the future? This is no difference, despite what you believe.

There are competing products, none a new release like Cliffs of Dover, but Wings of Prey is competant and IL2 Sturmovik would be no. 1 given that it actually works!

what about FFB? why are you keeping us in the dark about this? shouldn't this be part of your roadmap?!

I'm not really defending them. I'm just pointing out that you don't have any other options. WoP is a console game. It's not in the same league as CoD. It's not even in the same league as IL-2. It stayed on my hard drive for about a month (while I mostly played RoF).

There is a huge difference between Sony and CoD. Sony has competition. CoD does not.

BTW, I love RoF. I think it would be great if 777 made a WW2 sim. But, considering the debut of RoF, their WW2 sim would probably be no better than CoD at release.

That was, to be kind, naive. I thought it was pretty obvious that it was going to have problems. I would have bought it anyways. Unfortunately, I still have to wait for a few weeks.
