Incredible - I am hoping for a Microprose resurrection. Maybe it will really happen.

We can't live under the threat of a c*nt because he's threatening nuclear Armageddon.

They are certainly off to a good start.

Are there details anywhere on how big an operation this new Microprose is? How many employees, etc.?

Thats great news. The mix of Role Play & flight sim in the original was revolutionary at the time - there was always a tense & dangerous (level flight!) approach, but my favorite part (aside from the light relief of being the rear gunner) was as bomb aimer - it was great when you got it right & viewed the after action film of the target getting pounded. A very immersive experience IIRC - with improved graphics & VR this could be a REALLY good game.

OK. Another game I'm going to have to find a way to stay alive for another 20+ years to play. I better go see my doctor.

Hah! Sir Slash, I was just thinking the same thing.

Definitely a 1st day purchase and dreaming of a 10 member crew of Grogheads. Now I just need to live long enough.

A 10 member crew of Grogheads?  :o  Over the target, almost to Bomb-Drop, cut your speed, and then.... "Hey guys, look at that naked girl on the bomber next door"! Followed by, "She not your type, she has breasts". Then, " Hey, is that a Mc Donald's down there"? "No dummy, it's a... Vendy's. This is Germany after all". "Dongle factory at 3 O'clock. Made you look".  :2funny:

No matter what I will always be the ball gunner.

There I said it.

I have to stay alive & not be broke. ;D  In a like vein you may find this VR experience in a Lancaster circa 1943 Berlin Blitz of interest https://store.steampowered.com/app/513490/1943_Berlin_Blitz/

Segueing from your other thread about creativity....I sure hope these guys don't forget that what made the other Mighty Eighth so damn good was the game

I'm all for great graphics, attention to detail and VR, but I swear, if the campaign is a set of scripted missions...   :knuppel2:   :'(
