I'm a huge huge fan of the IL2 series since the first; played and tested most of their products and its always been an awesome experience. Online and Off.

Now its coming to the console world and its looking marvelous. To me, IL2 is the WWII simulation equivalent to Gran Turismo and Birds of Prey, Mad's latest incarnation of the IP doesn't disapoint [visually].

Here are the two first official trailers in HD glory. They are essentially the same, but with varying music.

Awesome! I'm a fan of the IL series too, though my gun skills are not as funky as my flying skills! I'll keep an eye on this one though, as it has the potential to be a killer (pardon the pun)... 👍
 
and here's the hoping that it would me multiplatform game.. that would be a must have for me.
 
Has any new information came out since summer of last year. I know its coming to the 360 and PS3, but, when? We are already a couple days into the second quarter yet I've seen nothing on the net thats not months old. I've been itching for a good dogfighter for awhile now. I mean the only "sim-ish" flyer for consoles is 'Over G Fighters' for the 360, yet it lacked the hardcore physics PC gamers have enjoyed for the last decade. Its about time someone showed the consoles some love. Seriously though, has any news been leeked about IL-2 since last year?

Why do you want it on PC? There are tons of IL 2 addons and I think more is coming.

Though they would better to do something new, once they talked about Korean War. So far the only one game about this war was Mig Alley, which is sad cause this conflict is much more interesting than modern ones: first jets fighting in a big war, lets kick american asses. LOL

According to Anton on the publisher's site 1cpublishing.ew the developers have completed the 360 and PS3 versions, but are waiting for E3 to release any info. The games official site is completed aswell, but has not been released either. Hopefully this will all change next week.
 
The XBox 360 demo is out! Has anyone had a chance to play it yet? What is your thoughts about it? I can't try it due to my RRoD, but PS3 demo will be out soon. I'm excited.:dopey:
 
I'm gonna preorder this soon at Gamestop so I can get that free shirt, as I'd already been planning on getting this after playing IL-2 for the PC.

However, is there any news if the Saitek X52 will work on the PS3 version? I've tried searching, but my results (even if I include Birds of Prey) are cluttered with stuff about vanilla IL-2 for the PC.
 
I know the PS3 registers the X52, so there is hope. I have both, the Ace Combat Hori II Stick and the X52, but the PS3 doesn't register the AC stick. That is something I find odd due to the fact the the AC stick is a PS2 controller and the X52 is a pc controller.
 
Yeah, I plugged it in when I first got HAWX and saw that it lit up and some buttons registered, but it didn't really serve a purpose. Hopefully the devs of BoP are considering us X52 owners. :D
 
Just an FYI, the PS3 demo is slated for a August 20 release. I still have no idea of when the actually game is to be released.
