I’ve got a pilot buddy who used to plat the old versions of this. Anyone feel like linking me to the best trailer/promo video for this one? I’ll share with him. Something that really shows it off.
For a next-gen game console there's nothing "weak" about it.

No, it's niche. Using the Steam charts as reference? Are you serious?
If the game wasn't niche, Xbox would have promoted the hell out of it, they would of damn sure found a way to get this to the console players the same time as the PC guys.
It's a niche game. A great one going by the reviews.

Sorry but Xbox didn't promote this in any way during the latest showcase because they are silly.
Pity that there is nothing to do outside of go from location to location.
Well you can review software from different perspectives. MFS2020 definitely is a game at its core. You could also review it as a teaching-tool of course; however gamers will be interested how much of a good "game" they're getting in their GAME passHow do you even manage to put a "videogame rating" on a flight simulator.. As a lifetime long flight simulator fan it's rather amusing to observe gaming sites "review" this title.
No game is perfect. Except, of course, Monkey Island and maybe Witcher 3.I wouldn't say so. It's not without relevant flaws, which I'm surprised many did not talk about. Mostly, it does the super-bare minimum at actually helping people to learn anything beyond basic flight with the simplest aircraft.
I can see many hitting a massive brick wall as soon as they try to fly anything more advanced than a Cessna.
Of course, this may not be a problem for experienced simmers, but it's not like they did not try very hard to position this as accessible. It is... if all you wanna fly is a Cessna.
Better yet, it runs off the cloud. Don Mattrick redeemed.By far, the best looking game of all time. Like, holy fucking shit, it's literally the world in a fucking game. And to think, this game is running off a mechanical hard drive. Just wow.

But this Flight Simulator is a giant achievement and deserves a better recognition - especially thinking what else got in that score bracket.

Until a modded apache helicopter is in the game, ill wait
It's such a shame that this can't contend for GOTY because there aren't any cut-scenes.
One of the most impresive looking games I have seen this entire gen. Not just in visuals, but design.
More transparent than a window bruv.Promotional pictures looked good but was watching reviews and didn't seem as nice... thought it would be way more impressive looking.

My friend seemed very interested in this, so I've been keeping my eye on it.
Does the snow come through it's so transparent? HAHAMore transparent than a window bruv.
Does anyone know if this is going to have VR support? I'm not a fan of flight sims myself but those insane visuals in VR would make for one hell of an immersive and mindblowing experience that I'd have to pick it up.

please release a controller like this on Xbox
VR is far superior to the 3 screen setup, and especially if you can interact with the buttons like vtol.
Good start to quality games. NOw lets see if they can do that beyond racing and simulator games.
But kudos to MS, the PC market needs stuff like this to push graphics, and hopefully they update it for VR.
Series X will be a vastly gimped version because of the lack of the community modding or VATSIM, not mentioning the graphics will be dumbed down due to any next-gen console's weak and dated hardware.
Change your region to kiribati and you can download the whole thingUrgh how annoying. It says 'Pre install Flight Simulator now,!, on Gamepass. It only downloads 1gb of 150gb sigh.
Man you can feel the pain from the forum radicals. They just cant resist.

They could have done some kind of hour long live flight during the pre-show which could have then transitioned into a full trailer with a console release date.
But instead they decided to have some anemic pre-show and opened with Craig.
Yeah i saw that earlier. I'll wait though, dont really want to start messing with stuff like that. I was more on about the fact they advertize about preinstalling the game, yet it only downloads 1gb of the 150gb total lol.Change your region to kiribati and you can download the whole thing

It's absolutely not. The game has tons of controls besides the switches you have to flip on the dashboard, and good luck finding them on your keyboard with a screen in your face.
It'll be a nice experience in VR, but there is a reason why most dedicated flight simmers don't use VR.

The only real worry graphics wise was how the land looked up close, but ACG's review shows a lot of ground level flying, and the terrain still looked good. Plus its a flying game and you're not supposed to be that low anyway.For real? Like what do you supposed to do in a flight simulator or a racing sim? They are doing what their intended purpose is.
Yeah, I was just having a chat about this... crop-dusting, dropping water on fires, delivering medicine to a country in a pandemic, transporting military equipment to a warzone, flying a musician across the atlantic to attend a worldwide concert etc....For real?

I think that they are going to do something like that in separate section, that would be really fun and I don't think it would require too much work...Yeah, I was just having a chat about this... crop-dusting, dropping water on fires, delivering medicine to a country in a pandemic, transporting military equipment to a warzone, flying a musician across the atlantic to attend a worldwide concert etc....
It would really enhance the experience IMO
Well i agree all of those things would be great, but how about celebrating what they have done already? because it's really damn impressive.Yeah, I was just having a chat about this... crop-dusting, dropping water on fires, delivering medicine to a country in a pandemic, transporting military equipment to a warzone, flying a musician across the atlantic to attend a worldwide concert etc....

Yeah exactly, it would really help immerse you and add to the sense of purpose... IMO. Not a difficult thing to add.I think that they are going to do something like that in separate section, that would be really fun and I don't think it would require too much work...
It’s a lot harder to do both well, that’s why MS took a long break on the PC IPs to focus on console, halo took them so much recourses and they can’t even do it the way they expected, time for a Very long break for that And build the momentum on the pc focused projects, all the pc titles can also be ported to the consoles anyway so they will still have games for the Xbox, but less projects to manage and they can take their time to rebuild halo in 10+ years if they still want to revisit this development trouble again.Why not both, like they've been doing? I hope they continue to offer games available for either so players like me don't get iced out of an ecosystem
I do celebrate, in my own way... I am very happy for you guys on PC and XBox.Well i agree all of those things would be great, but how about celebrating what they have done already? because it's really damn impressive.

It'll be a nice experience in VR for short flights, but there is a reason why most dedicated flight simmers don't use VR.
