Whilst perusing the vast floor that constitutes E3, the group at Games2 was struck by the potential of one title in development that held the commitment of something extra special. Being lots of hardened flight-sim nuts we couldn't help but crawl around Wayward Design's B-17 Flying Fortress 2: The Mighty Eighth.
Lead artist towards the project, Ken Hall took yours truly on a guided tour through the game's finer points as well as to say I had been impressed is known as an understatement. The game successfully combines RPG and traditional flight-sim elements straight into a cohesive unit holding away promise of unheralded gameplay. It's rare that certain encounters true innovation on an industry that has to all purposes and intents come of age. But B17 Flying Fortress does that.

The selling point centers on the fact that youcontrol and train, and run a full B17 crew. Similar to the movie Memphis Belle, you'll learn about every one of your 10 crewmen intimately. Their individual experience and capabilities will factor within your overall effectiveness. The tension naturally mounts because you throw a professional crew directly into the jaws of that face and Luftwaffe the daunting possibility that they can be lost.
From ball waist and turret gunners inside your navigator and in the pilot each individual may very well be lost to flak and opposing fighters. In a absolutely jaw dropping demonstration of the claustrophobic whole world of a B17's interior, Ken turned the awesome killing power of his upper turret gunner's twin .50 caliber machine guns on a fellow B-17 and liberally sprayed the cockpit by a staggering sum of lead.
A simple switch to the inside on the visibly damaged 2nd B17 told the tale of Ken's gunnery accuracy. The cockpit, where Ken had aimed just moments before, was really a sieve of broken and torn metal. It actually was immediately apparent that this pilot and co-pilot (now slumped over of their seats) was basically killed outright and that also the navigator has been wounded. Ken explained in which the program is so very sophisticated which it calculates where you can aim and models the destruction based upon that. To emphasize the purpose he identified individual bullet holes that corresponded straight to where he had aimed! !.

But what went down next took what little breath I needed left completely away. Ken explained that a B17 could remain piloted by means of other crewmen dominate for a dead pilot. I stood transfixed as Ken switched toward the radio operator bundled up in fur and leather lined boots. Imagine my surprise simply because radioman got up and made his technique to the pilot's seat. Then unbelievably he grabbed hold of the stricken pilot, dragged him through his seat and proceeded to consider taking his place!
Will you say Ohmygawd! ? ? Explore next-generation flight-sim entertainment! The graphics accompanying pretty much everything were outstanding and rank with all the best I've witnessed in a market saturated with traditional flight-sims. However, the fluid and extremely life-like movements of the B17 crew moving about the B17's 10 stations were a delight to watch and certainly stole the show.
