Cliffs of Dover ?

[Tacoma74]

Yea i agree. I would rather put "By the makers of the famous IL-2 Sturmovik" somewhere on the front of the box... but honestly i don't care. I'm buying it the first day its out, DRM or not i really don't care. And if i have any programs that are incompatible with it than they're getting uninstalled. Cliffs of Dover is much much more important than all that junk. But i really doubt there will be any problems.. so honestly if its such a big deal for some people than don't buy it, but just know that all the rest of us will be in heaven

I sure hope this guys know what they are doing with this name. Cliffs Of Dover.

COD. That can easily get them in a legal crapshoot with Activision that publishes the Call Of Duty series.
Do they really need to take this risk?

Oleg should make sure he gets in writing that he is not responsible for any legal isues raised by the title of the new game.

Last thing Oleg needs is another legal blunder done by the publisher and thrown into his lap if the chit hits the fan.

I doubt the Cliffs of Dover..IL-2 Sturmovik name will be a problem at all. Nobody cares what the initials will be, and nobody outside the combat flight sim gaming community has any idea what an IL-2 Sturmovik is, but they'll probably recognise the British Spitfire, and White Cliffs of Dover on the box.

Cliffs of Dover will initially sell much better than IL-2 did because many in the community never heard of IL-2 on release. They were busy flying EAW, CFS2,3 etc. Now most of the flight sim community flys IL-2 so theres a real boost. It will be the Spitfire etc. on the box cover that will sell the game to the uninitiated.

Exactly.

!S Agreed

Personally I'm NOT worrying about all this "broo-ha-ha"...in the end, it will all be ok.

Oleg has never let me down yet...

+1 on the name won't matter, but the quality of the game will be the real deal.

They could call it Merlin vs Daimler Benz, but its just cool Oleg is keeping us updated.






fixed it :

Merlin v's Diamler Benz... hmmm, conjures up images of a Wizard in battle with The Black Knight.

In terms of real life sound the DB beats the Merlin hands down. That late model DB whistle and growl is hair raising.

Humour; yes, I remember that... it was popular at one time
