Hardcore Gamer: Today, Mad Otter Games released gameplay footage, commentary, system requirements, and a Steam Greenlight page for Red Baron.
Hardcore Gamer: The Red Baron combat flight simulator series first took flight in 1990. Developer Dynamix and publisher Sierra had quite a success on their hands, which led to multiple sequels throughout the 90s.
Greg Micek writes: "It being in the works might be taking it a bit far. Damon Slye, the Dynamix designer whose poster we all had on our walls in the 90's, says that he's looking to raise $50,000 to work on a prototype which can then be used to run a proper crowdfunding campaign."
Brad Jones writes: "Late last year, flight simulator legend Damon Slye returned to the genre with a Kickstarter campaign intended resurrect the dormant Red Baron series. The first game in the series, released in 1990, was widely regarded as one of the very best examples of the flight sim genre. So why did the Kickstarter fail?"
Mad Otter is composed of several of the *original* Red Baron team, so I feel as though this is a pretty sure bet.
OTOH, I think that the modern gamer has such a short attention span, I'm not sure if he/she can actually appreciate a great flightsim, like Red Baron or the Aces games were -- even if there is a "casual" option.
I wish them luck, in any case, and will probably contribute to their kickstarter... make sure my Morane Bullet occasionally shoots off its prop blades, Mad Otter! And two-seaters!
