I love this game... Psyched to destroy some PS4 players when they get their hands on it. Chewing through the Steam chaff at the moment suits me fine for now :)
 
Never heard of war thunder. Took a quick look on youtube and this is a game my buddies and I can really get into when we buy our ps4. Another reason for me to buy this damn system day 1.

Cross platform play with PC is a great feature I hope more titles follow suit.

I'm curious to see how well this will work. Warthunder is the first flying game where I've felt a gamepad/mouse and keyboard is truly viable. Really brings me back to the days of Crimson Skies. I highly recommend the game for anyone who enjoys aerial combat. It's very well put together and the devs have demonstrated an awareness of the grind, having reduced prices on things several times. There's no gold ammo nonsense and you can enjoy the game without spending a penny.

In a lot of respects it's the total opposite of the grindfest that is World of Tanks. The playerbase is pretty healthy, and recently got a big injection via Steam. Consoles and the accompanying players should be a welcome addition.
 
My favorite game on the PC at the moment since I love flight games. Don't worry if you're not into sims since there's an arcade mode the majority of the people play, but the others modes are awesome if you like more realistic conditions like I do.

I'm excited for the PS4 version because it's made them upgrade their already good PC engine to test out the new effects and it's gotten a lot better in the past few patches. The detail is absolutely insane.

Also, tanks and ships will be coming to War Thunder so don't write this game off if you don't like air combat. Tanks were supposed to be in the PC version by the end of summer. :D
 
Another game to add to PS4's disappointing launch lineup /sarcasm

I'm glad this one is coming. More people should get exposure to this on PS4.
 
WHOA... that video... it looks amazing! Love the scale, the number of players/objects and capabilities. I didn't even know this game existed. I would absolutely love it on the PS4.

Awesome, hope to see tank gameplay too!

Their Gamescom banner on the main site has tanks on the side of it with one of them having a specific squadron number while the rest are nameless which lead to a conspiracy of sorts that people are trying to figure out.

I think if tanks are still on track for the end of summer like they said, then this will be the time to show it. Their CM also recently said that tanks aren't just "soon" but "very soon" but we all know that's subjective.

Maybe once this launches on PS4, it will be worthwhile for me to finally work on the OT. I was going to until I realized how little interest there was in the PC version on here even though it's growing quite rapidly. I've played since the private alpha and haven't gotten tired of it yet even with some of the patch problems that needed fixed.
 
Sweet. Along with Planetside 2, I've always wanted to try this. Unfortunately, I can't run either of them.

Can't wait to try both of em out of PS4.
 
I wonder if this means we'll finally find out what the Playstation Cloud is at Gamescom.

Gaijin Entertainment will optimize the potent power of PS4 and its next generation computer entertainment system to redefine War Thunder’s rich gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, intelligent personalization, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative cloud options. War Thunder will feature stunning lifelike dynamics of real-time flight and precision in its details of planes, tanks and war ships, and intuitive controls thanks to the new gamepad Dual Shock 4. The power of PS4 will allow developers to include improved head-tracking system, easier socializing tools, smart and easy options to record, stream and share homemade gameplay videos and will have full support of PlayStation Cloud.

They'd do better than keyboard mouse players.
Click to expand...

Not really. Even right now, aiming is still easier for mouse players and that's the majority of people even in HB's. Joystick users get better control over advanced maneuvers, but it's harder to shoot without some major tweaking on the controls that took me a long time and it's something Gaijin is working on for joystick users. Full Real Battles is where joysticks really shine.

I suspect PS4 players will have the same pros and cons. Better maneuvering but worse shooting than mouse aimers.

I don't try on PC, is a good game?
F2P or Pay to win?
Click to expand...

F2P. I spent money in the beginning to support but haven't been a premium member in months and I'm close to the top of most nation's tiers. There are a few premium planes that are good but nowhere near necessary or common planes that you miss out on otherwise and the only thing that they changed that pisses me off money-wise is how more skins for your planes are now a lot harder to get (they locked the ones I already unlocked too) so most people just pay the Gold Eagle price.

SKILLS > MONEY in this game. Money just gives you shortcuts which actually can hurt you more than anything else like the people that bought a Tier 13 plane when they're new to the game. Imagine being new and going up against some of us that have played for a while and it's just not worth it. The lower levels are the best money-makers anyway.
 
This game would also be AMAZING on Oculus Rift. (sorry had to get that out there)

Good that this is coming to PS4,. I'll probably get this.

Edit: oh wait this will be F2P?

Yeah we have very weak interest for World of Tanks too in gaf :D

Im working with Wargaming at Gamescom, will be interesting to see these games finally go head to head :D
 
I'm still shocked that this is hitting PS4. It seems like something that would only get a strong following on PC. Pretty cool that they're taking the risk of bringing it to consoles.
 
Really psyched about this game, I hope it turns out well. I will be really nice to have another good team-based multiplayer game that could bring together my old Halo crew.
