CONTROLLER WITH ANALOG JOYSTICKS OR FLIGHTSTICK REQUIREDTHE 'FORMATION' EXPERIENCE
'Formation' is a VR game where you pilot a powerful combat aircraft as part of a revered formation squadron. Set in a futuristic, Earth-like utopia, 'Formation' features a unique core-gameplay experience that focusses on intense formation flying. Besides fun, addictive gameplay, 'Formation' strives for visceral immersion by providing silky-smooth visuals, a cohesive art style and muscular audio.3...2...1...MARK!
The moment-to-moment gameplay in Formation mixes arcade flight-sim (like Ace Combat) and 'rhythm-based' genres. Execute maneuvers right on the MARK as notified via your FORMHUD advanced heads-up display. Successfully execute a series of maneuvers to complete a routine. Challenge your ability to stay focussed and combo-chain maneuvers as structural beams whip closely past your canopy. Formation presents a new and addictive slant on flying games.THE BULLSHARKS
Long ago, war ravaged the planet. Driven back in to the sea, the forces of the Allied Planetary Defence (APD) were facing defeat. In a last-ditch effort one of the few remaining air units — the Bullsharks — almost singlehandedly turned the tide of war. Their formation strikes and heroism are legendary.
Though the guns and missiles once at the behest of APD aviators have long since been decommissioned, the 'Bullsharks' continue to operate — albeit in a non-lethal capacity. Sporting events, commemorations, celebrations, and the occasional airshow are where you will find the present-day '7th' in operation today. The sight of the Bullsharks serves as a reminder of the fierce air-battles of a war that has long since ended, the triumph of the victors, and the glorious fallen.
For those too young to remember the war, the 7th serve a new purpose. What were once instruments of death and destruction have now been reborn as symbols of high intelligence and advanced engineering. In an age of prosperity, the once deadly machines of a century-old conflict now serve to motivate and inspire budding engineers, scientists and pilots as they loudly — but peacefully — thunder through the skies above Ocea.WELCOME, PILOT
Now that you're up to speed on the backstory, let's discuss this year's mission schedule. Truth be told, 'Air Command' is a little worried about some of the planned routines because of how risky they are. Ocea's mayor isn't too happy either.
Maybe promoting Raiker to Captain and putting him in charge of the squadron wasn't such a smart idea! So, it looks like you're in luck, pilot — the routines this year are going to be more extreme than ever and you've graduated flight school at just the right time. If you play your cards right, you might even be able to sneak in a tower buzz or two.
First things first, you'll need to get your head around the FORMHUD system which will keep you synchronized with your formation squad. Commander Burns himself is expecting you for basic flight training at 0600 hours.
It's time to suit up and get your G-face on!JOIN THE FORMATION!
