Hi all I'm new to this forum but I have been a long time fan of flight simulators. I use to play the Jane's series of flights sims all the time when I was younger and I have been looking for a good combat flight sim ever since. I'm pumped to see this coming to 360 but I have noticed nobody seems to be talking about it. Actually there was a point I was afriad it had been scrapped or something because no gaming websites (ign, gamespot) were talking about it. I'm glad the game is still set to release in August (so I hear) but thats the time of year the fall releases begin to come out and there is always some attention grabbers out there.
In order for this game to succeed there has to be developer interviews with the big dogs of gaming. People need to start seeing more of the game and it has to be advertised. I think a few new trailers are needed as well and those trailers have to appeal to not only us hardcore sim fans but also the more casual gamers as well. While I really enjoyed the first trailers I've seen I think there has to be more "action" than just showing a few clips of planes flying. For example if any of you have seen the show Dogfights on the History Channel then I think the trailer should take more of that kind of feel. It will get people pumped to buy the game. Here is a link to what I'm talking about if you never saw the show.
I really want this game to succeed but I know making a big impact on the consoles is hard, especially for sims. All of the flight games on the 360 are built for the casual gamers that have the attention spans of a 6 year olds and those are the gamers that will need to be made to think "wow this is a sim and its still gets my blood goin!"
