Xbox patch info!

[twentyONE]

Well I am glad to hear this! Sounds like they are working on a console sequal (maybe 'Wings of Prey'??) and that they obviously will be going with a different publisher but have not chosen one yet. I am also glad to hear that 'BoP' has sold enough to justify a sequal.

Something has to be done about the availability and ease for buying great flightsticks for the XBOX 360.
I think Microsoft should just third party 'HORI' to produce more "Ace Edge" flightsticks and make them available at either Wal-Mart or Best Buy.... or Microsoft needs to open the market for compatable flightsticks for the 360.

Well, The devs did a great job on this game and I wish them continued success. It is too bad that 505 had to screw up the update and their relationship with the devs and the gaming community. HOWEVER this is still a GREAT game that is really fun! I am hopeful for the sequal and I wish that everything goes better for the devs this time around.

Thanks again 1C and Gaijan for your hard work and making such a great game!

The worrying thing is that any sequel may be a PS3 exclusive given the costs of updating and the better platform....anyone want to buy a an Xbox!

Don't sell that XBOX just yet....

Anton - "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."


I believe the Devs will make the XBOX version also, makes sense, if your doing one, might as well do them both, it means more $$$ overall.

I never bought the DLC because charging 800msp for DLC that is not DLC at all but content already on the disc is rip off pure and simple.

I'm glad only 5% of people bought it, that restores my faith in humanity.

If they do publish a sequel I have to admit I might pass if 505 games publish. I understand they are a small publisher and MS charges for updates, but the utter lack of any post launch support other than to attempt to sell content on media the user has already bought does not cut it for me.

The game itself was not bad, but MP was gimped by an atrocious damage/kill scoring system and impossible unlocks. They should have fixed that at least, it killed the online community in 2 weeks.

Lets hope a better publisher picks up the sequel, but there is no excuse if the devs don't test MP next time or make pathetically stupid unlock goals. If they do make one I'll wait for user reviews next time, no pre-order from me.

I got it when it was 400msp I thought that was a reasonable price point, probably wouldn'tve for 800msp

...I am optimistic that this is what will happen. But like I mentioned earlier, the flightstick situation needs to be resolved meaning that the "Ace Edge" sticks need to be re-released or Microsoft needs to make a patch or adapter that allows the 360 to work with PC/PS3 flightsticks.

The "Ace Edge" flight-stick is manufactured by Hori ,Is available in black(see my earlier post) & works perfectly with BOP. (apart from brakes!)

If your going to do a sequel, do us all a favor and play some of the Current top of the heap Multi player games.

Heroes of the Pacific for PS2 had a better lobby system than BoP.

We want in depth stat tracking, completion updates in real time(ala Gears 2 and ODST), and bragging rewards(skins, emblems for the plane, paint schemes, etc.) to name a few.

Also, a better hosting system that auto merges lobbies and migrates hosts, all things you expect from video games in the 2010.

I would much rather get a patch for the 60 bucks I already spent, though.
Needless to say, I won't be buying any video game published by 505 ever again.

only cost you $60?? It cost me $140 pre-ordered. Plus there is no flight sticks available in NZ, & it was gona cost at the LEAST $140 to get one sent over from OZ. so im real gutted that theyve washed their hands of this game.

Any more DLC gona be available??
Any idea on how long a sequel would take? 1 year, 2 years?

The full game is out: it's called "wings if prey" for the PC.

Judging from the response of Anton, no DLC. I guess if your game isn't Ace Combat or Tom Clancy related, then no DLC for you.
