War Thunder is preparing to take flight on PS4 in early 2014 in North America

"We received word directly from Gaijin Entertainment that their WWII massively multiplayer online war game aptly titled War Thunder is getting closer to an “early 2014″ release in the “US market” on PlayStation 4. Currently, the are preparing a massive update to the closed beta in version 1.39."

ehhhh for some reason Free to play games don't get my attention for to long i get bored of them way to quick.. i won't be downloading this..

i tried Warframe, backlight, DC universe all were boring

[GarrusVakarian]

You shouldn't dismiss a game based on past experiences of games that aren't even remotely in the same genre. If you like planes...then i say give this a go. It's pretty fun.

[iceman06]

Exactly! I never understand the backlash against F2P (I mean aside from some insidious pricing structures out there). They are simply games like any other. Most of them have similar quality to their "paid" counterparts. They just happen to have pricing attached. Now, if it IS the pricing structures that keep you out, that is completely understandable. But, just because a game is F2P, it doesn't somehow mean it's of lesser quality or...even better...less FUN.

You can always wait for Crimson Skies! Gotta say tho this game looks bad ass tho I wont be downloading either since I have no PS4! And I hate free to play as they always want $$ or you have to play like a million times just to get enough points to buy something! Hate that shit!

i got 3 mates with ps4's we all had this and all of us deleted it none of us done more than 3hrs on it

[thejigisup]

Typical. 3 hours isn't enough for a game like this to really shine. The controls are superb. The game options and styles of play are plentiful. If you like arcade style it's there, you like flight sims they got you. This game has a lot of depth, a ton to upgrade and its being updated constantly. I've put dozens of hours into this game, I'm now just waiting for the NA release.

[stavrami]

typical is not a word i would use i played birds of steel it's predecessor for hrs and loved it … f2p games are all exactly the same and 10 mins on any f2p title is 10mins to bloody long

[malokevi]

Warthunder is the best f2p game on Ps4 at the moment, imo. Much better then Warframe, Blacklight and DC Universe. Plus the price is right. I'm already playing it, but looking forward to the NA release so that I can buy some gold/rp.

Warthunder is awesome. Actually just got done playing it on PC and about to some more.

I'm about to get a PS4 so having this on there is pretty huge for me.

* High Quality game with tons of content. Enough to last you more than a year.

[GusHasGas]

When I think early 2014, I think January, February, March, and April (maybe May).
So this game HAS to be available sometime soon...

[Hicken]

Yeah, I was just thinking that "early" is almost over.

[iceman06]

You mean they're late on early!?!? LOL Was thinking the same as BOTH of you!

[Tempest317]

I downloaded the uk version of this when it dropped, and I absolutely loved it until the 1.37 update...pre 1.37 the game ran 50-60 fps in combat, but then they locked it to 30 for 1.37...made it much more difficult to aim with a mouse. I hope they unlock it again, because this was my most played ps4 game pre 1.37

[AnEwGuY]

We're already 1/4 of the way through the last month of the 1st 1/4...so it's not coming "early 2014".

[Iceman X]

They are beta testing Tanks atm for War Thunder and then boats will be next.Check out tank gameplay from beta.

I'm enjoying Warframe a lot, but it took some time to get "aquainted" with the game.
Not for everyone. Well, that's what tastes are for.

[iceman06]

I can't stop playing that game. I think it has to do with the "dangling carrot of loot". As you said, it's not for everyone. But, it's a hell of a ride if you like the drive for more powerful weapons and arsenals. It's got a steep learning curve, but that has at least improved with the auto-installs for mods (which aren't always horrible, but often not IDEAL). There are so many things that are hidden until you reach the proper mastery and level up your frame. I couldn't see how anyone could form a proper opinion without at least a week of constant grinding...which probably won't happen. As you said, that's what tastes are for!

[theshredded]

This game's really good,I definitely recommend it.I'm playing it nonstop
A really fresh experience I'm level 4 German and the new maps are really impressive

This article is from February 26th. Who in their mind would submit this?

Aside from that, I do feel badly for the devs who poured their collective effort into this game's port, only to have SCEA shut down its release in North America for no discernable reason. We could all just download the EU version, but that doesn't rectify all the effort put into a game for the launch of a system, only to have the platform holder neglect its existence. By the time this launches over here, I'm betting quite a few individuals who were interested in trying this out will have moved on to other titles.

[KOOLWIIP]

I wouldn't be surprised they delayed the game in the U.S. to develope it along side sonys new VR headset.

[Rockefellow]

Well now, that'd be one of the only good reasons I can think of to do such a thing. We'll see soon enough, I hope.

[WeAreLegion]

Just download it from a UK account if you don't live in Europe. It's awesome!
