Red Baron Arcade flies to PlayStation Store today [Update]

What?  You’ve never heard of this game?  Actually, chances are you have heard of it; you just forgot.  We expected Red Baron Arcade to be released back in September 2008.  We had listed it in our rumored content posts for months, and then it just slipped away into obscurity.

Now it looks like Red Baron Arcade – which Joystiq said “looks fun, in spite of its antiquated graphics”might be IS headed to the PlayStation Store as early as today!  We’ll keep you posted with our sources’ latest information and try to confirm this with SCEA.  We just wanted to get the news out to you as soon as possible.

Update: The release date has been confirmed by Scott Gordon of Sierra Online on the PlayStation.Blog.  The game will feature a demo also hitting the PlayStation Store tonight.  How much would you pay for this game (no price mentioned) if it indeed doesn’t have trophies?

Note: We haven’t seen this game on any trophy lists, so maybe it doesn’t include the feature since it was delayed from 2008?  Will you still buy it?

  1. haha i just posted this on the forum like 10 mins ago. Great minds think alike :) But mine was talking about David Jaffe posting about it on his twitter. On to the game, i won’t pick it up, does not look like my type of game

  2. haha ok confirmed – http://blog.us.playstation.com/2009/03/12/the-red-baron-returns-on-psn-today

    Yeah I was following david jaffe and alex of media molecule and others who mentioned it. Wasn’t a rumor for long. I will update the post.

  3. no trophies = no buy because it does not look like my cup o tea.

    trophies = maybe i would pay 5 bucks for the title but couldn’t see paying 10 when there are others game on the store i still need to get that seem to appeal more to me.

  4. I just noticed that the second screenshot has really poorly rendered clouds. Strange atmospherics considering it’s a flying game. Hopefully they have been improved in the final build.

  5. Looks crappy… meh… Just got Unreal Tournament 3. I got plenty of games to try and get trophies for.

    Depends on if I have fun with the demo or not. Trophies might push me towards a game I don’t enjoy as much, but they affect me less than most people, it seems. I remember playing this on PC way back in the day. I just can’t recall if I enjoyed it or not. Hah.

    I’ll definitely download the demo to give it a shot, but if it’s more than 10 bucks i’ll probably pass unless it stands out in some way

    I will surely buy the game if it comes out in Europe, I’ve been waiting for this game since the beginning, I love games like this.

  9. Bones says:

    Trophies or not, I’ll probably get this. There aren’t many decent flying games on any current gen system (don’t mention Hawx, it’s a complete snore).

    I remember playing the original on my parent’s 386 as a kid.

    I thought this game was cancelled

    Some DLC with a doghouse and a certain beagle would be awesome

  11. SolidCake_ says:

    I thought Sony mandated all games after Jan. have to support trophies?
    demo will make or break this game,
    @DGR8mc187, don’t forget Woodstock.
