New Flight Control HD screenshots for Playstation Store released

Company

Firemint have released a swag of new images of Flight Control HD, the latest iteration that's coming out mid-September as a DLC on the Playstation store for the PS3.

The screenshots show off the new Playstation exclusive maps, each of which contains an interesting mechanic to make it more challenging for fans. The "Metropolis" map cycles through day and night, emergency air ambulances will take priority for landing in the Australian outback map, the aircraft carrier map contains a rotating aircraft carrier, and the winter map has wind forces and drifting snow that will influence how and where planes travel.

The other great features include stereoscopic 3D Mode, 1080p graphics, the party-style multiplayer mode for up to four people to play at the same time on the one screen, and most fantastically, Flight Contol HD for the Playstation store will support the Playstation Move motion controller (as seen in a recent Firemint developer video).

(Firemint CEO, Rob Murray) Multiplayer is insanely fun, you can never be quite sure whether a new player is going to help or hinder your efforts so there tends to be a lot of laughing and jeering...

It's turned Flight Control HD into an extremely social game.
