Red Baron Arcade brings air combat to PSN in September

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 26th 2008 at 3:20PM }

Stainless Studios is bringing their PC arcade air combat game to the PSN in September. Set in World War I, Red Baron challenges players to tackle 36 single player missions, or go head-to-head in 8 player online multiplayer. There will be over 20 aircraft to choose from, and multiple modes: deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag. It's a genre seriously under-represented on the PSN, and we're sure many will try the downloadable demo when it releases on September 18th.

Make sure you have the latest version of Flash:

I am so sick of Flash and I wish folks would give it up and return to simply embedding the video (mp4 mpeg mov etc)

I love required.

I think if they did they couldn't eyeball and click track our asses like AOL is doing here on Weblogs with Tubemogul.

TubeMogul's analytic technology aggregates video-viewing data from multiple sources to give publishers improved understanding of when, where and how often videos are watched, track and compare what's hot and what's not, measure the impact of marketing campaigns, gather competitive intelligence, and share the data with colleagues or friends

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO....I JUST want to watch the videos while browsing on my PS3 dammit.

Actually, we are going to have fully downloadable videos "soon"-ish. We just need the proper infrastructure to let that happen. And believe you me, I will ensure that our videos work on the PS3 when that time comes!

"I am so sick of Flash and I wish folks would give it up and return to simply embedding the video (mp4 mpeg mov etc)"

because Flash is a more universal format. Windows users need QT for mp4 and mov, Mac users need Flip4Mac for WMV and ASF. everyone needs flash.

I agree with #7. Learn something about the advantages of flash before you come with an inferior suggestion. As #7, every OS would need a certain player, not to mention Codecs which you'd have to download for some videos on top of that video player.

Where as now over 98% of internet connected pc's have flash. And considering flash movie files (flv) have to be converted to that format, additional codecs are not an issue. Therefore flash is the easiest and most user-friendly way to go about it so, stop whining.

looks good!

Redhawk @ Aug 26th 2008 3:33PM

This could be soo awesome if it were like a 24 online player game :D

gameforall @ Aug 26th 2008 3:33PM

This PSN thing is really costing me money. They keep adding games that I enjoy

reson8er @ Aug 26th 2008 3:36PM

Not my cup of tea, but I hope it turns out well.

GENTLEMEN @ Aug 26th 2008 3:47PM

Ah crap. Is Sierra going to destroy another one of their beloved franchises? And why isn't it at least 16 players at that graphics level?

GENTLEMEN @ Aug 26th 2008 3:45PM

Damn Sierra

maxpontiac @ Aug 26th 2008 4:08PM

Give me trophies, and it's a first day pick up.

Love flight games, and considering none of them have trophies, it's a no brainer..

kazper22 @ Aug 26th 2008 4:42PM

sry guys but it looks like a ps2 game... it plays like a ps2 game... hell ... it smells like a ps2 game... a bad one at that.... color me uninterested.

Kodros @ Aug 26th 2008 4:24PM

It's a PSN game. Are you telling me that Everyday Shooter, flOw, Super Stardust HD, Echochrome, Pain, Calling All Cars, etc... don't look like PS2 games? It looks like you don't understand the point of PSN games.

Mike @ Aug 26th 2008 4:35PM

And its also 10 bucks at most dumbass

Alex @ Aug 26th 2008 4:37PM

alot of the psn games couldnt be run on the ps2

mostly because of the resolution thing and the tilt controller

hahaha:P

kazper22 @ Aug 26th 2008 5:02PM

flow, everyday, ssdhd, and echochrome all brought something new to the table... while this game looks like a crappy rehash of Warhawks aerial game play... I still play shadow of colossus weekly... but thats because it has heart and originality... but this is void of anything trying to push the envelope (Game play, Graphics, Sound, Story...ect)... I just don't understand why any one would be excited about this...

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Aug 26th 2008 4:54PM

Looks like a PS2 game? It's a PC game that came out four years before the PS1.

rafael @ Aug 26th 2008 4:17PM

This would be awesome if they somehow incorporated 32 person multiplayer, periodic updates, periodic expansion packs, tanks, jeeps, footsoldiers, jetpacks, dropships, capture the flag, TDM... If only there was a game that was like that... I would def buy that...

o wait

kevin @ Aug 26th 2008 6:33PM

ur sense of humor fails.

SOOPERGOOMAN @ Sep 1st 2008 2:01PM

WARHAWK!

Gman @ Aug 26th 2008 4:20PM

Looks fun, and I hope it does well, but Warhawk provides just as much air combat as I need.

roger roper @ Aug 26th 2008 4:25PM

The graffics look terrible

Chris. Simply @ Aug 26th 2008 4:28PM

P.S. PS3Fanboy just thought I'd say new Project Abraham Video is up. And again it's pretty brutal.
