Crimson Skies Interview
Flight simulation games come in all types, from the 'fly about and do nothing' of MS Flight Sim to the Falcon 4's of this world. There never seems to be enough of the action oriented flight simulation games, where you get to enjoy the flying bit, but which also gives you big guns to boot!. Crimson Skies is one such title. Crimson Skies is a high-flying action adventure game in development by Zipper Interactive and Microsoft. GA-Source goes in-depth with Creative Director Jordan Weisman to find out more.
The game is in the style of such classics as the original Wing Commander games and Secret Weapons of the Luftwaffa. Its a roller coaster ride of a game which takes you all over the place in all more ways than one, "You start in the newly reformed Kingdom of Hawaii, then travel to the country of Pacifica near Seattle, then to the Nation of Hollywood, then up to the pirate town of Sky Haven up in the Rockies, and finally to the skyscrapers of Manhattan in the Empire State". If you have a thing for flight sims, its worth a read.
