IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad
IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad is a next-generation flight simulator made with intense realism and historical accuracy in mind. Players take control of pilots above the historic battle for Stalingrad on the eastern front of World War 2, engaging in both dogfights and the destruction of strategic objectives on the ground.
Features:
Advanced Visuals: The game features realistic graphics and unique visual effects: clouds, lightning, tracers, explosions and huge smoke plumes – all of them fully realized to recreate the aerial combat scenery. Immersion is key, and players will witness the sights and sounds of World War 2 from the recreated cockpit of authentic aircraft.
Single-Player Campaign: Robust Single-Player Campaign that features a challenging and innovative AI system and includes an extensive in-game achievement system. Players are able to hone their skills by themselves, against bot players and mission objectives laid out by a campaign representing the actual historic events of the battle of Stalingrad
Multiplayer Gameplay: Classic Multiplayer gameplay with dedicated player-controlled servers. Players can save their favorite settings for team battles and dogfight duels, creating custom games tailor made for individual tastes and battles. Player control over settings is strongly emphasized.
War Thunder – Cross Platform Play Comes to Nvidia Shield Tablet
Award-winning developer and publisher Gaijin Entertainment announced today that they will support the NVIDIA SHIELD tablet – the ultimate tablet for gamers – with their mega-hit War Thunder.
“The days of being pious to one platform are dead. We are platform agnostic because we believe that our community demands that they have access to War Thunder on as many platforms as possible. Gamers have many tastes and it is a bad business model to restrict your game to a single platform when your community has ever evolving tastes and preferences and are always on the lookout for the next great gaming adventure,” said Gaijin Entertainment’s Creative Director Kirill Yudintsev. “War Thunder on the SHIELD tablet will be that next great adventure. It provides our growing community of almost eight million players another amazing option to battle with or against friends and foes in cross platform play across the widest variety of home platforms, mobile devices and VR headsets – more than any other game in the industry.”
The SHIELD tablet is the first Android-based device that can run War Thunder natively in parity with PC and video game consoles. The SHIELD tablet includes the world’s most advanced mobile processor, the 192-core NVIDIA Tegra K1. It’s the only device capable of running today’s AAA video games such as War Thunder without hiccup or stutter.
The SHIELD tablet will allow War Thunder fans to take the WWII blastacular experience with them on the go, using a specially created control scheme for the touch screen. When in need of a TV screen experience, players can connect via HDMI and enjoy War Thunder using the high performance, precise SHIELD wireless controller with ultra-low latency Wi-Fi direct.
“Gaijin Entertainment has done an amazing job with War Thunder, creating a cross-platform experience with unbelievable graphics on SHIELD tablet,” said Keita Iida, Senior Director, Global Content Management at NVIDIA. “Tegra K1 really brings the game to life and we’re excited to deliver a game GeForce gamers can play at home – and continue playing anywhere, anytime they want.”
No launch date has been announced for War Thunder on the SHIELD tablet, but Gaijin Entertainment can confirm that War Thunder will remain a free-to-play, cross-platform, massively multiplayer military masterpiece, that allows players to fight their way across air and ground with access to over 400 historically accurate planes and armored vehicles. Fans can expect hundreds more added as Gaijin Entertainment commits to ongoing development via regular updates.
