IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey Trailer Soars, 'Splodes

by Alice O'Connor, Jun 17, 2009 4:43pm PDT

A new trailer for Gaijin Entertainment's Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey dishes up a dose of World War II dogfights and dive bombing.

On offer are over fifty missions in various roles throughout the war with difficulty levels ranging from arcade to simulation, as well as multiplayer with customisable planes.

PSP and DS versions are also under development by DYNAMICSYSTEMS and DiP Interactive respectively. All are planned for release some time this year.

The terrain detail is phenomenal. The clouds are quite impressive as well. I wish this were coming out for PC instead, with a full sim emphasis.

Aircraft detail is remarkable! I can't believe this quality flight sim is coming to consoles. Very exciting!

The IL2 series is one of the best flight sims and air combat games out there. I've spent countless hours test flying and doing bombing runs. Very interested in a PSP version.

This looks great! Although I don't plan on buying it myself I'm sure it'll make a fine entry level flight sim for console gamers.
I really hope after this comes out they consider making a new installment of IL-2 for the PC. The graphics in Forgotten Battles feel a lot more dated after watching this video.

I've been waiting for a game like this. I really liked IL-2 on the PC, but it was always a learning experience when coming back to it after a break. Sometimes I just want to fly the planes and shoot stuff, ya know?

Multiplayer should be more interesting as almost everyone is on equal footing with the standard controller. The the Ace Combat flight sticks probably work with this too.

Is there coop too?
