"Never in the field of virtual conflict have so many games and companies been porked by one idiot."
-
good news for The History Channel at least.
-
Not just a Ki61 but it appears that there is a Ki 43 or maybe a different Zero flying low level attacks as well. What a dumb *** to have box art like that for all the flight sim people to look at. Just exactly what sort of immersion do they want to get? Idiots I guess.

lol. That's as bad when Battlefield:1942 showed latter war P-51D's in their artwork. Then again from what the WildShill has always said that is the same demographics he's chasing.

I predict he will sue the History Channel demanding back payments on every spitfire they show on TV or have shown on TV before.... :D

I think it's probably worse than that. I mean, really, it's BF1942 fer christsakes. :)

With a bit of luck, Rowan may have the patent for that. :D

You know it always seems that he gets these ideas as other companies are doing them.
I remember when he announced making a WB jet sim back in '98, coincidentaly just after Kesmai announced planes for AW4: Vietnam. Now he announced BoB that will encompass RPG elements, like getting medals and advancing in rank, which sounds strangely like AH2:ToD.
Can this guy come up with an original thought on his own? Does he wait until some company announces plans for a game which then aspires him to copy in some form?
What's amazing from the WB forums is that none of the phan boyz caught the Japanese plane screenshot for the BoB game.

It seems like a great bit of marketing to nab the history channel logo and .avi films. It will give the game credibility like Jane's gave "Fleet Command" and unfortunately will lead to the same broken-hearted feeling when you realize you've just bought well sponsored crap.
Well... maybe not. I don't know enough about warbirds to make the judgement. Maybe these people will be happy to fork over the cash, but with the lawsuits and all, I just have Ill will towards the whole scene.

what really amazes me is how he takes an outstanding volunteer, no cost for iEN, effort made by the ETO team for wb3 , and slaps it into a half assed crappy game, hoping to make some small money.
I see this as a betrayl of the ETO team, which developed this terrain hoping for the continued development of the core product, which is wb3.
Instead he spends development resources on another crap box title, like FPA & ASS.
I can only offer my sympathy to those who are still sticking with iEN and wb3.
-
Aren't there enough crappy half-finished games centered around 1940 ETO?
-
just saw this too on the total sims bob website:
Over 72 airplanes, 15 tanks and ground vehicles, ships and aircraft carriers, and many of the important artillery pieces of the period.
I would love to see which types they reffering to when they say "over 72 airplanes" in a game set on the 1940-41 time frame.
let me guess... could this be the original 72 airplanes already in the WB3 program ? like the Ki61, Ki-43, F4U, P-51D & Fw190D ?
All those that have nothing to do with the bob...
-
True it doesn't jive with a realistic BoB. But it does with "WB:1942" !! ;)
-

While I can offer a figurative slap around the chops for anyone who would consider supporting this incompetent degenerate of a man. Why on earth would anyone give money to this idiot is beyond me.

Uhg. I bought this Civil War game with the History Channel logo on it. Worst piece of crap ever. I thought since I had seen Sid Meier's Gettysburg years ago, they could have improved on the size and scale of a game like that. They didn't even come close to that scale. The History Channel logo on a game now means to me it will probably suck.
EDIT: Hey, what do you know, I just looked at the cd and it carries the Activision name too.
-
If you've made the game right, you don't need any logo on it. It will sell itself. Games are sold by word of mouth and reviews if they are good, and logos and flashy advertising if the suck.

If you are trying to attrack new customers, the right marketing does wonders. My guess is that they are attempting to grab people who didn't walk into wal-mart looking for a flight simulator.
Now, after they log on and play for a while, hopefully they will end up over here in AH lol.

Probably because it took four posts for WBers to do exactly that where they can speak freely, on a.g.w. (and the first three were mainly "I can't think of anything civil to say" hehe)

Also apparently the ETO volunteer team says their terrain is not the one to be used in this box, FWIW.

viff, you know your comment regarding the player-made terrain being used for BoB is incorrect. WBs and iEN has lots of problems, there's no need to fabricate more. :)
And... I'm surprised AH players even know what a Ki-43 looks like. :p
Anyway, from what I can tell, it looks like a spitfire in the image, not a Ki-61. I don't fly dweebfires so what the hell do I know?
Fear not, WB haters, in due time you might just get your wish. :)
