Rashid Sayed: The average size of map ranges from 65圆5KM to 200X200 KM.
We aim to broaden genre appeal thanks to the F2P model – which we have already demonstrated with the PC version. They were met with very positive reviews and were quite successful in the commercial sense –so making a console MMO flightsim was the next logical step for us. Rashid Sayed: Considering that War Thunder reached 3 million players on July 25th 2013, what motivated the decision to bring the game to consoles where the MMO and combat flight simulator market is significantly weaker in comparison to PC?Īlexander Trifonov: I won’t be so hasty about console combat flight simulators as our team created one of the best titles of this genre, including Il 2 Sturmovik: Birds of Prey and Apache: Air Assault.
"As we’re going to add tanks and ships to our game and make mixed battles between all three, making even bigger maps isn’t wise – the players will have trouble finding each other." All of the platform-holders are also very interested in the free2play-model and we’re glad to be one of the pioneers on this frontier. Now everything is connected, and console online gaming is the norm and not some curiosity. In comparison to PSN back then, what are your thoughts on the overall development of console multiplayer nowadays especially with the upcoming updates that the PS4 will provide?Īlexander Trifonov: New console generation is radically different from the current one in terms of raw power and also in its philosophy. Rashid Sayed: War Thunder reminds us quite a bit of PlayStation 3’s Warhawk, except primarily centered on combat flight simulation. All of this is impossible (at the moment) on Xbox One while Sony shows strong support for our project. For our game we need simultaneous updates with all other versions, cross-platform multiplayer and absence of the entrance fee in the form of Xbox Live Gold subscription. Can you please let us know the reason behind this decision?Īlexander Trifonov: There are several reasons for this, the main one being Microsoft policy regarding free2play titles and online games in general. Rashid Sayed: War Thunder is releasing for the PlayStation 4 this Holiday season but an Xbox One version is not planned. "New console generation is radically different from the current one in terms of raw power and also in its philosophy." Alexander revealed some interesting details about the PS4 version of War Thunder including information on cross platform play, new expansion pack and how they are using the power of the PS4 to make it similar to the PC version. The game is currently in open beta for the PC and is a launch title for Sony’s next generation console, the PlayStation 4. We recently got in touch with Alexander Trifonov who is the international PR for Gaijin Entertainment to talk about War Thunder.
