Microsoft Flight Simulator was one of the big Xbox launches of the past 2020. It is currently only available on computers only at the moment, but the game will also land on the Xbox Series X / S consoles next summer with the best possible content. . From Microsoft they have it very clear they do not think to simplify the gaming experience and for this they have offered new details of how this version will be on their consoles.
Satisfactory experience
Those of Redmond believe that the correct decision is not to simplify the game to adapt it to the consoles. This is what director Jorg Neumann states in a statement offered to the Twinfinite medium:
“We made the decision a long time ago that we were never going to simplify the simulation. We don't go through there, instead we opted to offer aids so that if you are unfamiliar, or don't even know what an IFR is, just hit a couple of buttons and get help, similar to the help of an IFR instructor. flight". To this, he adds that “at Xbox we anticipate that many people will never have flown a plane. Maybe they have driven in some action game, but that is not the same at all. So we're going to try to make [her adaptation] as elegant as possible. "
Instead of cutting the realism, what they will offer in the console version is learning so that the mechanics of piloting are accessible to new players .
“Again, we are never going to simplify simulation, but there are some learning elements that we can do better. We pay close attention to the tutorials. Many people play them and they are quite accessible, but you can probably do more to make them more attractive to a newbie, give them little bits of knowledge to learn.
The Microsoft Flight Simulator experience has a release date on Xbox Series X / S , and it won't be long in coming. The game has taken the PC by storm with incredible sales figures and now the American company is preparing its takeoff so that it reaches consoles without cutting off the rewarding experience of the controls and will offer facilities and tutorials for everyone.
