SoW at E3?

[nearmiss]

E3 is in Los Angeles,CA

You can check out the exhibitors at the E3 site. It starts tomorrow.

If you know who will distribute BOB SOW in the US you might cross reference.

Otherwise, don't think BOB SOW will be represented there.

Hmmm...
I´m not too excited about three month release date.
I´m feeling like six month release date it´s probably more real because Oleg has not announced a solid beta yet or the start of the beta testing.
Of course , it´s just a feeling,I want to be wrong,really...

Oleg is not showing SoW on E3?Why?
It´s a good way to make his superb work know by a larger number of people outside Europe.

The BOB SOW is an aircombat flight simulator. It is not as gamey as a game. The market for BOB SOW is very specialized.

I was talking with a friend who is a big time gamer type. He said, "It is an exceptional game that holds interest for users more than something like 8 days."

Pretty much doesn't include an IL2 user does it?

I wouldn't expect BOB SOW to be much of an excitement for the typical gamer types that attend E3. E3 is in Los Angeles this year so I'd think it would be expensive to send someone over from Moscow to demonstrate it. It would hard to demonstrate otherwise, because no one outside Moscow has a copy of it as far as I know.

Years ago, when Forgotten Battles released the guys at gamestop didn't know what it was, and EA clerks only found it because it was in their computer. Not because they had any knowledge of it. That may have all changed now, but I doubt it.

Yeah, I've not called Il-2 a game in years and I've never thought of the crowd here as gamers (despite the fact that some play consoles - the term should stay with consols).

Flightsims were extremely popular back in the days when people used command line interfaces.

Yes,IL-2 is a true game,it´s not made only of graphics and sounds.
Game producers just found out that good looking games with limited gameplay will be played for a short time and then discarded.IL-2 is from 2001 (althought being updated) and it´s still played.And thanks Daidalos Team,it will have an even longer lifespam.I hope SoW can enjoy a long lifespam too.

Another thing is that european games (specially from eastern europe) don´t seem to be very popular on the americas,japanese games are even less.
It was very hard to find IL-2 1946 here in Brazil.

"We had hoped to show it at E3, but we are not ready yet" Ooo..k, some games shown at E3 are not even half finished yet and won't be released for years but I guess Oleg has good reasons for not being there and I guess that reason is finishing the game...

OT and BTW, Nintendo3DS looking pretty darned interesting

oh, god; they're always "we really hope... but we're not ready... ". if you don't wanna show up jus answer it directly without any additional reasons, "really... but... " makes no sense~~~~
