Poll/PS3: Would you pay for German Cockpits?

[Korsakov829]

They can sell the same thing with nothing new in it all they wan't. But after Il2, BoP, and WoP I would think people wouldn't be all so interested anymore. I'm just saying in the next one there could be nothing new, same problems, etc. Simply put, if the game has just small changes like file compression format, and a few new weapon unlocks and just about the same stuff as BoP, why bother and perhaps a co op. The new game might not be worth it if it doesn't give much more. And knowing how lazy Gaijin can be its only just too possible as it doesn't take much work to copy 95% of the previous game.

Huh? How can you possibly know how lazy Gaijin can be? I don't quite understand what you are saying.

Gaijins next game is Apache and we will see the improvments they have made since BoP. If we then take that game and imagine the same amount of improvement again (a years worth of devellopment) to a WWII game maybe set in the pacific arena, the end game would likely be very different than BoP even if it uses the same game engine, and will have a lot of interest.

WoP = What BoP was ment to be with update support. It IS the same game. Also I believe the WoP on PC was worked on by other contracted developers while the main Gaijin team worked on Apache.

BOP was done before work had began on WOP to sell as a standalone game. One simple thing is BOP doesn't have German Cockpits. So BOP came first. WOP is what Gaijin wanted to give us but 505 lost interest, and like Anton said WOP is easily updated by them to users for free without having to use a publisher for patches and such.

So if a sequel is made then Hopefully by now Gaijin knows what needs to be in the sequel.

There are many differances between both games. Fly a G-10 on BoP, and then WoP. You will see a differance for sure. Differant bullet sounds, and a cockpit. There are too many differances for them to be exact clones.

Bullet sounds, cockpit sounds and German cockpits are incidental. The flight models are the same and the core single player campaign is the same. No one said they are exact clones.

hey anton just a quick question,what's your honest opinion about flight sims being on consoles?do you think that the market is there to sustain a continual community with DLC and other things,i ask because BOP is really the only one trying to do the full sim thing,the blazing angels games dont count an neither does heroe over europe.Or do you think that with all the problems regarding the bop patch for 360 and the fact sims are niche titles,that there is a future for them?

Anton


I think, they will be one or two more shots in this generation. Probably, from us
But I don't think DLC thing is going to work. Yes, DLC that was released by 505 was pverpriced, but there is no any other flightsim game on the market and 5% DLC buy rate would be reasonable - but it never reachs this rate.

am i right in saying that now bop development is dead and i need to pin my hopes on you guys making a sequal??

We are very willing to make sequel (and are doing some development already, incorporating new features to Wings of Prey).
We hope, we'll sign deal with some publisher (developers can't release X360 game themselves, without publisher, even on XB Live) - the Birds of Prey was successful, probably not the best title of all times, but meets expectations.
We do not have publishing deal signed yet.
