New HD video from the latest Alpha test of World of Planes

[Troll2k]

It looks like it is just a benchmark.It interrogates your system and runs the test.It then phones home to tell mommy how well your hardware ran their game.


World of Planes – Time to check your system!

Gaijin Entertainment thanks you for your interest in World of Planes. We are working very hard on the project and are already running internal tests of a future Beta version. But here’s the thing: PCs come in thousands of different configurations and as you can imagine, to make a game work well on all of them is an extremely difficult task. That’s why we need your help! In order to tune the Beta even before releasing it we have made a special World of Planes Direct X9 Benchmark. This program will allow you to see a part of World of Planes and us to test the performance of your computer. The benchmark will send us your settings and test results which will give us an idea on how we are doing with the current version and what needs to be done before release. To participate in the World of Planes benchmark, please register for it at YUPLAY.com !

Like World of Tanks, it's an arcade game, emphasis on game.

Yeah, well, the video sure does not give any clues about sim vs. arcade.
The logo on their website looks too much like wings of prey, so too arcadey for me I guess.

Liked the Flak explosions

It looks alright but you can make anything look cool with editing.

It's real time, I downloaded the benchmark, runs very well... but you can't judge if it's an arcade or a sim from that... it's still an alpha. The visibility distance seems very very low.. so maybe will be like Wings of prey with some new features... but i like very much the clouds

Just ran the day time benchmark. Max settings, 1680x1050 (native resolution) average 105 frames, minimum 68.

The lighting is cool, the planes have nice skins, cool, a bit over done flak, crappy water, the clouds look awfully low resolution and very short visibility range.
Gave me the feeling you are playing in a fishbowl, with clouds painted on the walls.

Actually this is what you would see if you ran the Alpha benchmark, the only editing I did was to remove the loading screen and the logo from the bottom. I also ran the benchmark a couple of times as you see the scenes on some occasions from a different angle. I then added music instead of the in-game sounds and music as the editing process interfered with the audio accuracy.

However what you see is what you get and this is in-game graphics at an early Alpha stage of development.

At-least the Developer's want the end-user to help them get it right...now there's customer relations!

Cheers, MP

Looks Arcade to me fellas...But i agree you cant really make accurate assumptions yet

Why all these video and screenshot makers are always using too wide focals, what makes aircraft look like ridiculous bananas ?
