New York in Microsoft Flight Simulator: An Ode to Photorealism

The famous Microsoft flight simulator, much more than a game, once again boasts graphics with a gameplay through the skies of New York.

New Microsoft Flight Simulator gameplay that confirms what we already knew, that we are facing a new aspiring graphic reference and that it is possibly the most photorealistic game that we have come across in a long, long time. The title of Asobo Studio (the creators of A Plague Tale: Innocence) will arrive in a matter of days, on August 18 to be exact, and continues to boast of technical muscle with each new video. The one that we bring you today through the youtuber Tuckie10 is focused on the city that never sleeps and takes a tour of the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and other buildings and places as emblematic as Times Square, the World Trade Center, Central Park, the Empire State, Rockefeller Center and Madison Square Garden.

The game will come on 10 discs. New record?

The video joins other recent ones, such as the one that showed us North Korea from a bird’s eye view, and news such as its compatibility with VR and the confirmation that all the airports in the world will be present. At FreeGameTips we were also able to try a demo of the game a few days ago and we brought you our first impressions. In them, despite some problems regarding performance and stability, we highlighted the bright future of the game (with more than 400 developers and external companies working on specific content); its world and graphic finish (we made the journey from Gibraltar to Cádiz); as well as the fact that it is a simulator with capital letters, to the point that its developers do not see it as an entertainment product, but as a serious flight platform.

Such a graphic finish will not be easy to achieve, so the game will come on 10 discs, will order more than 150 GB free on our hard drive and will have the following requirements.
