Grimes Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) It looks like Microsoft Flight Simulator isn't quite dead after all. Although it looks like they are dropping "simulator" from the title. "Microsoft Flight" along with a return of Age of Empires (WIN!) will be showcased at Gamescom. http://www.thebitbag.com/2010/08/16/microsoft-flight-teaser-trailer/ I'm glad to see Microsoft hasn't dropped the idea of making flight sims completely.

Agg Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Now THAT is a teaser!And THAT is a completely pre-rendered CGI-trailer ;)
Avilator Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 If it turns out to be anything good, I'll be interested. But it does look like it might be console-oriented.:puke:If it is I'll stick with FSX. Now that I think about it, FSX ought to run real well on a rig with specs to run DCS:WH.:thumbup: I only respond to that little mechanical voice that says "Terrain! Terrain! Pull Up! Pull Up!"

Steel Jaw Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 FSX is broken. I know: I have messed with it for years with hundreds of dollars of add-ons. It also does not properly leverage multi cores nor the GPU resulting in hideous FPS.

Scooternutz Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Should fly really well on the ole 360. I wonder if it will have vibrating on the game pad. My kids will love it for sure. [sIGPIC]https://drive.google.com/file/d/16rUBmmJR7A3YGZVGPGskxG1XtvulGojJ/view?usp=sharing[/sIGPIC]
davek1979 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 For a teaser... it didn't tease much... ...well someone has to move the mud!!!
jpm1 Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 marketing move i think . if they let the whole thing down then X-plane will take an irretrievable advance SU-25 missions [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Luke.S Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Woot another one... Oh God impossible to run for another 3 years. We will need much more advanced hardware.
TKMR Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 I'll reserve my judgement for later... It could be awesome, it could blow. I'm really confused because they shut down their game studio... So all I can think of are: A) It's being outsourced, which would suck. B) It's for the 360... which would suck even more. Either way, I hope they stick with it being a sim... going the arcade route would just fail so hard. 1 Lead Admin/Founder of Kilo-Tango Gaming Community

Scooternutz Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Just watched it again. It reminds me of one of those banking and trust commercials. It is very chickish complete with the female voice intro. [sIGPIC]https://drive.google.com/file/d/16rUBmmJR7A3YGZVGPGskxG1XtvulGojJ/view?usp=sharing[/sIGPIC]

While they could in theory make a clickable 3D cockpit for 360, I wonder who in 360 community has the willpower to learn it ? :rolleyes: And with the current trend of dumbing down all that still possibly can be dumbed down, I'm not holding my breath for this. ...well someone has to move the mud!!!

Krippz Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) What do you mean "stuck"? I think he means that AMD/Intel have reached the pinnacle of compute power which is far from true. The biggest hurdle is going to be getting past the 1.5 nm die size on to something smaller (a picometer).

Grimes Posted August 17, 2010 Author Posted August 17, 2010 Well I can't blame them for wanting to change things up a little bit. I only hope they keep the game a sim, but make it more enjoyable/accessible for everyone else. I think as long as they don't try to advertise it like this ad again... nor try to make the game like this everything will be fine. :megalol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is8CNZ72YOw&feature=related The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

jerda Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 They took out the "Simulator", now its only MS Flight. So i'd guess bad news for us hardcore types. but who knows.... well the ocean waves look amazing anyway...
