The Perfect DLC for this X-Mas :(

Yeah I saw those? When did this news come out? Sorry, I'm being a total idiot right now..


Wings of Prey? That doesn't even make sense

[Rhah]

Yeah,I know.... Wings of prey eh?... but prey dont tend to have wings, unless they are small birds... And who wants to be flying a plane associated with a small bird?
Birds of Prey: Falcon, Hawk, Eagle - cool!
Prey with Wings: Sparrow, Pigeon, Housemartin - Not so cool!

Besides, wop is also an offensive term for an Italian

Man those pics made me drool. The I-153 looks really cool and having the legit cockpit for the P51 would be an awesome gift too. I could justify $10 if the pack included all those.

And I agree Wissam, I mean we all get "Birds of Prey". But what the hell is a "wing of prey"? They're obviously trying to play off the Birds of Prey title, but that only works because birds of prey are eagles, hawks etc. which relate to planes. Who the hell came up with this moronic title? lol

That news has been on here a while, also check out the yuplay forum. If you preorder through yuplay you get the beta.

It will be out next year and it is the PC Version of Birds of Prey. Wings of Prey without IL-2 Sturmovik.

Did they drop the Il-2 name from it? Is that a mixed blessing do you think?

I wish I could preorder it but my computer can't handle Rollercoaster 2 let along new games

Definately a no-brainer to drop the IL-2 Sturmovik with the PC equivalent. The console customers have been fobbed with something that is absolutely nothing like the original IL-2 & so putting WOP onto PC while 1946 is still so popular, & having Storm of War just around the corner, without the IL-2 STURMOVIK in the name would be a very prudent move.
Just wish they'd have done the same to this title. Would've saved me alot of money, time & posts.

You had control over all of those.

How'd you figure? Can you tell all from just a demo? Where's the t/o & landing? (ala IL-2) must be in the full game! Where's the after mission replay? (also IL-2 trademark), must obviously be in the full game ..... and on and on.

Read the reviews "legendary title comes to console" that'll do for me, go buy it. Took it as read that every popular flyable plane would have it's cockpit, well you would wouldn't you, after all it's name suggests ..... it's IL-2!!!

Dont take this personally & I have alot of respect for ppl on this site (yourself included) but I, like others here, am old enough to have experienced times when games WERE great. They never cut corners. I'm going way back to the days of elite etc.

I've played alot of console games & alot of pc sims in my 41 years & I'd like to think I've picked up on some knowledge of this subject over the years. All I'm saying is it's a very wise move for Wings of Prey to drop the IL-2 before it hits PC for fear of it's ability to survive. And will I buy it??? Hell yeah! Now I know what to expect, sure I will.
