Red Baron is BACK!
« on: December 05, 2013, 02:09:22 PM »
It appears an indie game studio out of Germany is remaking Red Baron and has been recently approved for Steam's Greenlight.  They're promising better AI, graphics and a more dynamic single player campaign along with the obvious multiplayer.  Now, if someone would remake Rowan's Flying Corps. 

Red Baron is back!

Now if only Aces of the Pacific could get a remake.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

AotP was better. Much larger scope and better campaigns. Aces Over Europe was too limited in its focus, and by not even having a BOB campaign.

Oh, and it wouldn't be yet ANOTHER Air War in Europe sim. The Pacific/CBI is terribly underrepresented.

Interesting.

I'm a little concerned that they are going down the War Thunder road though.  

Will reserve judgement though.

Have to say; what an amazing crew AH have to allow guys to post propoganda for rival sims on their boards without censorship.

Awesome.  RB 1 was my favorite game of all time.

They have some steep competition from Rise of Flight.  Sadly the Rise of Flight single player is not as good as Red Baron's was years ago but its not bad.

Going by "Hoplite" now. :)

Yep, some people learn quickly how to make successful commercial projects out of flight games.

Before WarThunder you could only speculate about what was good or bad in bringing new customers into the game. Now it is pretty clear what to do. That is why Red Baron looks exactly like War Thunder but for WWI.

I'm sure HiTech and Pyro and others at HTC have fond memories of playing Red Baron back in the day.

Hope the single player will be as good as the original.  RB's single player was fun but I still thought Flying Corps single player campaigns were the best.
