You may remember a few weeks ago when I put online a video of World Air Force while complaining about the bad quality. Well, no reason to complain anymore since here it is in 720p ! Meanwhile the game has also changed name, you should now all call it "Over-G: Energy Airforce". Yay.

Looks damn nice, except for the ground, reminds me of Ace Combat 2 for PS(the ground)

Looks horrible

Oh no. No. Snoopers has turned into a true spoiled whiner!! .____.

Seriously, I almost need to start MSN for that. That so does NOT look bad. OK for the ground, but they have time to shape it up.

You don't know what you are talking about, snoopers probably does. Go play AirForce Delta Storm for the xbox, that was one of the first Xbox games and it looks just as good as this crap minus the draw distance.......

Seriously, if you haven't played AirForce Delta for the xbox, you don't know what you are talking aobut, even the water and lighting looked better. This seems like a port (I know is not) to get any money they can taking advantage of launch.

It DOES look horrible when you consider it is a next gen title.

LEBATO:
Yes, even though Airforce DS looked great, I'm sure this will be a completely different thing. The planes were really slow in DS, due to the lack of power of the Xbox. I'm sure they can really speed up things in Over G, making it feel like a REAL simulator. The trailers they've released have really focused on the speed, on how real planes really fly.

I guess Xbox 1 had trouble reading all that info in with those speeds, but X360 will have no problems with it. And yes, even though the ground (not the buildings) in Over G is a bit dissapointing, they still should make the game interesting by adding a great sense of speed and thrilling dogfights.
As people said about PGR3 when the ground pictures was released: "Who cares about the ground, when you will be traveling over it in 200 mph?"

This game looks like crap for any generation. I might be impressed if it was an N64 title. I love these games I just wish that a good dev team would make one for once. Did you all see the burner and exhaust effects for the missiles terrible, plane physics and animation was atrocious. If I was M$ I would can the game and lock the dev team in the cellar so the can never torture innocent gamers with these horrible video again.

Of course if the game we are seeing is under 40% complete it might have potential.

Could use some anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering. That battleship looks horrible. Water looks horrible. DOA has better looking water effects. Especially when there's next to NOTHING going on in the background to prevent them from using any effects or high res textures.

I agree that it's not the most graphically attractive title coming out, but that statement is just balls to the wall, ummm... I don't want to even say.

I'm actually really looking forward to it since PC simulations are all but dead and i've heard that this game is very realistic on the highest difficulty settings. I think the next trailer we see of this is going to look quite a bit better than this.

NO!

The jets were not slow in Airforce Delta, just get closer to the ground to notice the speed, but if we are talking about speed, what makes World Airforce such a showcase as far as sense of speed is concerned? It looked the same to me.

And no, this is no simulator and Airforce Delta was not either. Whoever said they moved realistically? Of course, they move the flaps, land, etc, but that doesn't make it realistic. If you are looking for a simulator, go play some Flight Simulator 2004, that's the best and only one simulator available right now that gets it right.

Again, this is NOT a simulator. What makes you people think so?

Simulators:
Flight Simlutar 2004
Su-27 Flanker--I hope someone knows about this game.

it might not be a true simulator ala Lock On or IL2, but from a preview i read, on the realistic settings you must operate radar and countermesures, aswell as change flap angle and raise\lower landing gear. Plus it has a realistic draw distance. I might not be like the afformentioned games but it'll be the most realistic air combat game to ever grace consoles that's for sure.

lebato, check out x-plane, it is the most realistic simulator i have ever seen. I have played all of the flight simulators and it think x-planes physics are much more advanced.

Yeah, this looks like total and absolute horse shit. What the fuck is up with the water? My Dreamcast could render better water for God's sake. At least throw a damned cube map on that shit, it's not even pixel shaded.

I agree.
This is a 50/50 arcade/simulator and it ll be also the game with the most -near to photorealism- visuals from any other air combat game.

Yes, but just because Flight Simulator 2004 is a simulator, it doesn't mean that Over-G can be one. I might be at a dead end here, as I really don't know the genre that well.
But this can be a simulator, right? Just with weapons and stuff *remember MS Combat Flight Simulator*. Maybe a little bit more arcadey, but still...

If Forza Motorsport is a car simulator, this is god damn a flight simulaltor. ;)
