Wait, There's Really a Game Called World of Warplanes? Seriously?

Pretty old news :o

what's good, just wanted to let alex know that if he wants to write about videogames he should know about videogames, the existence of world of warplanes shouldn't be a suprise to anyone that works for a videogame content website

Alex has been writing about video games for 15 years, I think he can write about games if he damn well pleases.

I can't wait to see the Flight Club guys wrecking (their own) planes in World of Warplanes.

So extreeeeeeme!!

WoW?

World of Tanks is awesome. I will play the shit out of this.

That's repulsive. I think I need some Iron Maiden to keep my ears from bleeding after just twenty seconds of that.

@furmantation said:

Come on, it's a game consisting of only warplanes and they didn't use "Aces High," as the background music?

unforgivable.

Speak of the devil. In an airplane.

The problem with this game is, we all know which plane would REALLY win all the fights, IRL, and which plane DESERVES to have its theme in the game.

not a single spitfire or hawker hurricane to be seen, the developers of this game do realize that the RAF was one of the biggest contenders during world war 2... right? i mean, hay, it managed to single handidly beat the Luftwaffe back and stop an invasion that would have been a staging point for the Germans to launch an invasion of Iceland, Greenland and of course America.

Now we need a World of Tanks and World of Warplanes crossover fighting game.

Interesting game. Terrible music.

Why not? It seems like you should've been more surprised that World of Tanks was a thing that Wargaming.net actually did. But since this is the sequel to that, it's not surprising.

I think he's more surprised that they've gotten away with a name half a word away from World of Warcraft. I'm guessing Blizzard don't really give two shits about it though.

i kinda liked world of tanks. wonder when world of battleships comes since they allready said they were trongly thinking about doing that to.

maybe a world of infantry someday who knows

LFM Kittyhawk, up to Wright Brothers. DKP system (Dual Wing Kill Points).

How do you level up an antique airplane?

The flight physics don't look that bad. Also, I bet World of Warfighters is now inevitable, the tom calancys of the gaming world have fallen hard for that bit of jargon.

I liked the music so there. I'd probably turn it off halfway through if it was some orchestral score.

That music is fucking wonderful for that trailer, hahahaha!

@mkmage said:

is this the sequel to World of Tanks??

Yes it is. They are also coming out with World of Battleships, which obviously is Water based combat with battleships and carrier groups and what not.

LMAO! "group attacks", "deadly dogfights" So, basically every other combat plane sim...

Looks kinda fun though. QUICK LOOK! Preferably with Vinny, Dave, and Drew!

@Xeirus: YUP A DUDE WITH A FIRM GRASP OF IRONY.

SENTENCE TWO.

is this the sequel to World of Tanks??

Yep, guessed right once again, typical Alex writing.

He's not a good journalistic writer. It's actually pretty irritating to read most of his stuff.

I also hate his voice, but that could just be me.

I'm still convinced he has dirt on someone high above his pay grade.

I prefer modern rock than the overly used dubstep.

Yep

Why go for either when there's an eternal supply of 70's german krautrock and 80's russian post-punk? Or EBM, if you're so inclined.

@GalacticPunt said:

@MAD_JIHAD: What the fuck, mang? How could you subject Giant Bombers to that?

I had to share...

Mmm, I remember bringing this up during the Mojang vs Bethesda "Scrolls" kerfuffle. If these guys can get away with World of freaking Warplanes, surely that wasn't such a big deal. Furthermore... uh... I don't have much to say about this game! World of Tanks was good, but painfully grindy. I guess I find tanks more exciting than planes, though...? I mean, tanks are pretty diverse. You have your ambush tanks and your sniper tanks and your tank.. tanks. Sure, there are planes of different sizes and weights, but I don't think it could be as varied and tactical. I'll give this a pass, I think.

Has anyone made the "more like World of Aircraft" joke yet? Because I got it covered if not.

When "Offensive Reconnaissance" is a trailer bullet point in your game, you know you've got something special.

@Covered_In_Bears said:

They haven't gone far enough, yet. Still waiting on a game about warships called "World of Warcrafts".

lol i support this statement.

-stamp of approval-

Because this is new news. Headlines and sub-heading lines have been awful recently :( The interns, and Drew and Vinny were best at uploading videos.

Nothing says rock and roll like offensive reconnaissance.

...and World of Tanks and World of Battleships.

You just blew my mind. And sunk my battleship.

"We are going to support various controllers (even including TrackIR)"

TrackIR = flight club assemble!

I like where this is going!

When he leaves out the unnecessary sarcasm, commentary, pointless sentences and just reports the damn news, I like his writing.

World War II was apparently all about sunsets and feel-good music.

...So... do these planes.. drop loot?

They haven't gone far enough, yet. Still waiting on a game about warships called "World of Warcrafts".

unforgivable.

Or just ignorant.

It's Wargaming's Russian bias. Planes, tanks, music, doesn't matter.

World of Warplanes, eh? Crafty.

@MAD_JIHAD: What the fuck, mang? How could you subject Giant Bombers to that?

I like how the planes weren't actually doing anything for the first minute of that trailer, let alone matching what the text was saying.

P.S. I explored your mother's agility last night.

WTB 1x Epic Red Baron PST

Flight Club TNT. Think about it...

Huh, my eyes see planes, but my ears hear an EA soccer game.
