Little information put forth by the team, that Chevelle found

CAMPAIGN

KOE will feature a dynamic campaign that is even better than the one in Red Baron II. The best way to summarize it is this. The war will unfold along a historical timeline, but events along that timeline can be pulled forward, pushed back or eliminated based upon the players influence and performance. The great thing about this is that neither side is assured of victory.


SINGLE MISSIONS

We will have a tool for you to customize single missions. We know that sometimes you just don?t have time to get into the campaign or want to play around with ?what-if? scenarios.


SYSTEM SPECS

We aren?t quiet ready to comment on system specs but I can say that I personally will be upgrading from my PIII 550 w/ GeForce 2 to be able to play the game. If you are an avid gamer you?ll likely have a machine that will play KOE beautifully.


DAMAGE

While I can confidently say that our damage model is industry leading, to date, we don?t have plans to implement ?flapping pieces of fabric? when pieces get shot away. Even with today?s hardware getting that to act appropriately would require significant overhead. But don?t despair?I seriously doubt that you?ll be disappointed with what we are doing with damage.


MODS

The specific plans for player mod-ability haven?t been locked down yet. However, rest assured that we won?t be doing anything to preclude players from making mods.


PUBLISHER(S)

I can?t comment on publishers right now. We want to make sure that every interested player has access to KOE world wide. That makes our publisher selection(s) an important one. Rest assured when things are finalized we, and they I suspect, will be letting everyone know.

This is an interesting piece of information. The dynamic campaign is what Red Baron II/3D makes an immersive flight simulation. Plus if there were more things to happen on the ground while flying over the landscape it would be great. Like moving troops, trains, tanks or artillery battles between the front lines.

I wonder what is planned for multiplayer. If there is a multiplayer part with free servers like Red Baron II/3D has.

Questions over questions but only time will tell.

But anyways, thanks for the information, Unarmed.

Free MMP is a big thing, however, pay to play does have some distinct advantages, i've seen them first hand in Fighter Ace. Here you have true banning of pilots and consequences for your actions, suspension and revocation of your rights due to the fact that they can turn you on and off through your credit card. The drawbacks are that you are dependant on the company who's running it, if they make a patch you have to get it because the old version won't be supported any longer, Fighter ace 2.5-3.0 was met with a lot of resistance. Each has pro's and cons, it's just too bad that they could be integrated somehow.

I really, REALY hope it is not pay to play online because if it is I won't be buying it and that will make me very sad

[AspectSim-JP4]

Take heart Pentallion, unless there is a MAJOR change in plans KOE won't be pay to play.
