Successful global launch of War Thunder: Ground Forces
War Thunder are now available for both PC, MAC, Linux, PS4 and mobile devices.
It seems like i was right about Gaijin Entertainment and their WWI MMO action game "War Thunder". Because they did indeed dominate the console market as well. All thanks to the sucessfull global launch of "Ground Forces" (they also made a lot of noise/buzz at the E3 convent).
So am i surprised over this fact? Not really. Because so far War Thunder has made zero mistakes. So one might wonder what Gaijin got in store for us in the near future?
Press release:
"(MOSCOW, RUSSIAN FEDERATION) Award-winning developer and publisher Gaijin Entertainment brought major heat to this year’s E3 trade show, accomplishing many first ever experiences for its smash hit War Thunder, E3 attendees were treated to an unique WWII, MMO gaming experience in all of its destructive glory unlike anything else at the show..
From its humble beginnings through to becoming the largest independent developer in Russia, Gaijin Entertainment had never had a major presence at the world’s most influential video game trade show, until this year. Gaijin Entertainment unveiled several new platforms for War Thunder at E3 including Linux, which means that all future platforms based on this OS will be supported as well.
Whether behind-closed-doors or on the show floor, War Thunder was the only game at E3 to have cross platform play working across five different platforms including PC, Mac OS, Linux, PlayStation 4 and a new unannounced patform, shown only behind closed doors to selected press.
OnLive, the leader in cloud gaming and a trusted partner of Gaijin Entertainment, showcased its amazing subscription based CloudLift service, which allows players to play their PC games on mobile devices using War Thunder. No other game at E3 2014 could say the same thing. In fact, no other game in the world features as many platforms with true cross-play experience.
In addition, no other game at E3, or anywhere else in the entire world can lay claim that they feature more aircraft in a simulation game than War Thunder, which set a Guinness World Record (http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/6000/most-planes-in-a-flight-simulation-game) by offering 303 unique aircraft earlier this year. By the time of E3 2014, Gaijin Entertainment actually upped its total from 303 to 345 planes and announced that more will be rolling off the development assembly line in each major update."
