I posted this in another post on RoF,then I came upon this thread so I post it again
Here are some answers to RoF questions from an interview at WW1 Air Combat . com
3. Do I need an internet connection to play ROF?
Yes, because first of all we are talking about online service, where you can get together with many other people with same interests, where you can get in groups and play against other users or AI and many more.
4. What kind of copy protection is used in ROF?
User online authorization, which processed in game GUI each time you startup "Rise of Flight".
5. Can I play ROF in offline mode?
No, you can't.
6. If an internet connection fails while playing ROF, what will happen? Can I start the next mission? Same with career mode, what will happened with my statistics?
"Connection error" message will appear and you will not be able to continue without proper internet connection, thus all statistics will be lost. But if connection to the internet will be reestablished before the end of the mission this problem might not appear. Please note that multiplayer mode will crash due to lack of internet connection.
My outlook on RoF;
Unfortunately most will not purchase RoF because of the fact the game can not be played at all with out an internet connection,not even single player can be played off-line.I see this complaint in every forum I read anything about RoF and this could make or break this game IMHO
Patches will be auto-matically downloaded when going on-line and they say patches are 50 to 200 mb,that takes a good internet connection.Not as they suggest and I quote LOFT from his Blog> "a few packets here and there" and that a simple internet connection will do.Without the patches the game will not start so you have to download the patch or you can not use what you have purchased.
Not a smart move to make an internet connection mandatory IMHO
Could make or break this game!
My interest in ROF is fading fast...
- New system
- Mandatory internet
- A game calling "home" with every run.
It's like a very intruding DRM
Looks like they need to learn the lesson Electronic Arts learned with Spore:
Get rid of DRM or don't sell a single game.
No sale here until I'm sure there is no DRM on the disk.
I'm not going to pollute my system with some sort of Securom or Starforce.
Quote::We do not have content scramble system, thus there is no problems.
hmmm do they mean DRM by that? CSS is for DVD movies
"thus there is no problems" ??
I tried to leave a link to the interview but was not allowed as I am a new member that has not yet made 10 posts.
