Crimson Skies For Xbox Barnstormed

Posted by simoniker on Friday June 6, 2003 @01:25AM from the wanna-play-tom-strong dept.

Thanks to Gamesdomain for posting an interview with the lead developer of FASA/Microsoft's Xbox title, Crimson Skies:High Road To Revenge. The game, a sequel to the noted PC flight action title, is summed up succinctly in the first interview answer: "Crimson Skies is about three things - dogfighting on Xbox Live, story and choice-driven gameplay. It is set in a unique 1930s alternate United States where aircraft have evolved as the chief mode of transportation." The title is due out in October, and this interview is accompanied by some excellent-looking screenshots.

Theres really only one big glaring problem with this game. ITS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLAY FLIGHT SIMS OR DOG FIGHT IN ANY WAY WITH A GAME PAD!!!! Unless you have some kind of flight stick controler for the xbox youll hate this game. In fact youll probably hate it anyway since a.)Consoles in general have never mad good sim games and b.) People interested in online gamming should stick to the PC. The only even moderately succesful game for xbox live is ghost recon which might as well be counter strike only harder to play because of the controler. So lets just face it. YOU CANT GET PRECESION AND SPEED FROM AN ANALOG JOYSTICK THE SIZE OF MY LITTLE TOE!!!!!!
