Romier S Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Having enjoyed the Ace Combat style of flight game, not too mention really liking Crimson Skies on the Xbox, certainly peaks my interest for Blazing Angels. A new Xbox exclusive WWII based flight game that is being developed by Ubisoft. You can take a look at some game information here: Grow from an innocent rookie to a battle-scarred ace as you and your wingmen fight World War II’s most legendary air battles. From the Battle of Britain to the fierce dogfights over the Pacific and all the way to the skies of Berlin, your pilot skills will create history as you lead your squadron of Blazing Angels to victory. Developed by Ubisoft, Blazing Angels is an all-new brand launching exclusively on Xbox. The spectacular graphics, cinematic-style, and a storyline that follows the success of a single squadron will make players feel like they are flying into Word War II combat in their favorite Hollywood movie. Features: Fight WWII’s most famous air battles: From Western Europe to the Pacific, your squadron of Blazing Angels will fight in all of WWII. Experience spectacular movie-like graphics with accurate-looking planes and realistic terrain. Use the special abilities of your wingmen: Three AI-controlled wingmen will obey commands and be crucial to the success of each mission. Fly up to 40 planes in single-player and multiplayer missions: Jump right into air combat action in planes such as the famous P-51 Mustang, the P-38 Lightning, and the British Spitfire. Play on Xbox Live with up to 16 players online: Engage in head-to-head dogfights or cooperative team play. You can take a look at some screenshots here also: Blazing Angles screens Full article: Article on Blazing Angels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orpheus Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Sold! And maybe a flight stick as well if someone would make a truly good one for the xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnemaEms Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Ubi could make a poop simulator and I would be sold on it. -Dean- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 And maybe a flight stick as well if someone would make a truly good one for the xbox. I doubt any of the big peripheral manufacturer would be interested at this stage of the platform's lifecycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orpheus Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Looks like both Saitek and Thrustmaster did at some point. Time to start looking at the used stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelley Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 This game speaks to me on many many many levels. Unless early reviews point to complete suckage this will be mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 There is a article about this game in the new game informer. Looks good. They even have a screen shot of a plane shooting down tanks at the feet of the Eifel tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel P Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Wow, those screenshots look amazing. Barring any bad reviews, I'll be picking this up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foos Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 This Game does look sweet. It should fill my desire for multiplayer dogfights. BUT (and please excuse the side line question) what happened to Crimson Skies. That title had franchise writen all over it. I loved that game. Come to think of it I haven't heard anything about Mechassault either. I can't believe that MS would let these titles slip away. Anyone know what going on?:confused: j.

JoeyN Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Mech Assault 2 totally ruined the franchise when they introduced Jacking. As for Crimson Skies i really hope there is a sequal in the works. Really enjoyed single and multiplayer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyN Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 A few sites are reporting that Ubi said Blazing Angels is now coming Fiscal Q4 05-06. I guess that means its delayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
