Did you watch the video?

The terrain and the landscapes in the trailer look a lot like BOB:SOW's "early" vids (it's jaw dropping, by the way!)

gosh, I look at the pics...this seems arcade ok, but I am not so sure anymore about the clouds etc...

IC I think we need an explanation ! WHAT is this ??

[KOM.Nausicaa]

I just looked at the video. I will be damned if this landscape, Messies and Hurries is not coming from BoB....it looks most similar when you look at the vid.

This is the most interesting update in a way about SoWBob since a long time !

My theory: What we see there IS BoB. In a simplified arcade version for console. What we witness here is a deal to sell parts of BoB for console and to bring fresh money for the final developpment of BoB for PC....the REAL BoB.

Very very exciting !

I ask again: 1C guys I think we deserve an explanation about this !

A separate company developing a version of SoW with simplified game mechanics and flight models. Guess we'll have to wait for Oleg's verdict on this.

No you got it wrong. This is official 1C stuff. look at the video.

I looked at the vid for the third time....still jaw dropped...

Ok I looked at every detail. My analysis:

--> Planes, landscape, houses, water (and maybe clouds) are all BoB. Also some external damage modelling you can see on the planes.
--> Effects, traces etc are not BoB....I think they have been done specially for the console game...
--> speed of planes and all more serious aspects that go to simulation are defenitly not BoB

But there is SOME BoB stuff there for sure...the more I look at it the more I am convinced there is...


I think Oleg made a smart (and maybe necessary) deal. He is bringing cashflow to the company. He is covering the console market with his work, and, secundo, it could attract some of the console gamers to buy and play the REAL thing on PC later...not dumb at all! I am convinced that Olegs real baby is the PC BoB...but why not covering the console market with something awesome you have already created ?

I meant the developer: IL-2: Sturmovik: Birds of Prey (developed by Gaijin Entertainment for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, by DiP Interactive for Nintendo DS and by Beatshapers for PSP

This must be BoB SOW in the console (arcade) version!

The name IL-2 Sturmovik is misleading it seems, I see only Battle of Britain action!

Pictures look great!
Ooh man finally some more info on BoB SOW.

This game is not related with BOB. Official information will be presented later in separate thread!
