Next gen has truly arrived! Hyped to pour over some of these reviews to tide me over until launch day!

I didn't know it was going to be reviewed by "normal" outlets.
I can't get more hyped for it, tbh lol

Anymore info in OP? Unique nature of this game + next-gen looming, I'm sure there's a chance to sell people on this game considering the reviews. Can't wait for this shit.

This is the types of reviews I was guessing it would get. It looked next-level and so mechanically sound.

Please finally come out so that my dad is finally able to play it.

Those past 6 weeks have been hell with him wanting him me to build a new PC and everything and all is done and fine and now only this game needs to release for him .

I watched Quill18 do a few flights and my goodness this is amazing. I really doubt my 15 year old self would have believe this would be possible on consumer hardware at all back in the day. Crazy how optimized the game seems too. Never cared about FS before this.

This is the type of game you want to show your Granddad tho isn't it? Like I wonder if Miyazaki will play this, lol!

I have genuine question, as I never played flying sims. What exactly is he goal as far as the gameplay goes?
Is it only realistic ambient flying from A to B?

Amazing scores.

Great review scores! Definitely considering buying this, but probably need to free up some memory. Also, hoping the price comes down somewhat.

It is an amazing game and such a technical achievement also there is nothing like it out there... so not surprised. :). well done Asobo/MS

If I was MS I would branch out this franchise like they did with Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon, make a more arcade version similar to Crimson Skies with sp/mp missions and lots of firepower.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...

Whatever you want it to be. It's as realistic as you want ambient flying from A to B, yep. Fly a Cessna over the Pyramids, or a 787 from LAX to JFK completing all the checklists and mundanities. There's challenges and the like but the real joy is just flying however you wish.

The fact that they were willing to give Flight Simulator a shot again is really all the proof I need that Microsoft has changed

Wonder if Microsoft will be trying hard to push this out for launch on series x, what with infinite being delayed.

This could be the GOAT, guys. At least for somebody like me who enjoys and appreciates aviation as one of the greatest achievements of mankind. I'm going to start on PC ( via Game Pass ), but I'm eventually going to get an Xbox Series X for this game alone.
