Hi guys !
For the sake productive discussion, I've just been reading as I didn't care to deal with the Baron, at least he can't blame me this time
Like it or not, for good or bad, KOE will indeed be compared primarily to RB3D enhanced by 1000's of vocal people who will also compare it to recent combat flight releases
That much is unknown about KOE's scope or MP, doesn't bother me yet ...
- Marketing costs a ton, if your looking at an Oct release, no reason to push it hard till Sept mag - preview releases in July/August
- The flight sim community , and in particular the Red Baron , WWI community , can be a difficult crowd .. so difficult it was a consideration as to why Dynamix's flight sim division was folded .. I'd avoid a bunch of details for all of you to critize untill the latest reasonable time
- I think KOE has much more they are not yet talking about , than keeping quiet for lack of scope .. IMO, this is is a much more logical possibility that a cynical view at this time
- I suspect KOE is *bigger* then most imagine , and there are , or soon will be , alot more people working to finish this up than what's listed as staff now (probably already are) ... again, we have no clue what kind of money the publisher is now putting in to make it a BETTER game , and a smart publisher/developer would hire the *finishing* crew in the last 6 months
I like what little I've heard , and not yet ready to make conclusions about what I don't know
The team looks extremely well qualified and I bet they've all flown RB3D extensively , or they wouldn't likely be making a WWI combat flight sim, would they ?
