Aside from the menus being a bit clunky I didn't have that many noticeable performance issues with ACAH. And then I played most of it on probably a slightly under recommended spec machine before I upgraded.

Yeah, there was some obvious console port UI but it ran really smooth on my PC which is a few years old now. I'm so ready for 7, hearing it'll be on PC is a very nice surprise.

New Ace Combat 7 trailer is out.
Also confirmed that the game isn't PS4 exclusive and is coming for XB1.
And PC. :woop:

If you're not flying the whole thing in a polished-metal F-104 I don't wanna know ya

(I will not be doing this, because A. I suck and B. My skills are weak and bad)

My computer slowed to a chug trying to play Assault Horizon but parts of it are hell of old

The line about how 'nobody will be gripping a control stick and taking to the skies anymore' bugs me. The whole point of the COFFIN system is that it replaces that method of flight, people are still going to be flying around but way better :v:

Look, so long as I can continue, as crow says, "Isamu-ing" my way through the series doing dumb dodges and flying waaay to close to the ground and obstacles for anyone's comfort, I don't care what else is in the game.

Especially if I can do it in glorious face-mounted VR cockpit view.

I have the same behavior, and as such am trying to memorize for Unsung War what buildings disappear when shot and which have rubble with collision hotboxes. While trying to conserve missiles, there is so little margin of error while attempting to gun down swaths of buildings among skyscrapers and such.

Doesn't help that I'm using a controller with no pressure sensitivity on the throttle; it's either brakes, normal, or full afterburner.

Not having pressured buttons is especially annoying with the map, because in 5 it's either in super close, or suuuuuper zoomed out.

Indeed; luckily I can usually work fine with just those modes unless I'm trying to chase down certain target fighters quickly, in which case I just try to avoid letting them out of my sight.

This is a (self-inflicted, admittedly) issue I'm having nowadays now that I have a copy of Zero to play again. I know I mentioned it back during its thread but either it or 5 introduced the alternate (now standard, I think) control scheme where Square switches weapons and Select brings up the map, but they didn't quite think things through so the map is invariably zoomed out to the highest level when you use it that way.



Also, looking forward to AC7 on PC, though I'd be kidding myself if I had any realistic expectation that its minimum requirements will be low enough that my recently-built-but-only-maybe-2013-level PC could actually run it.

EDIT: Also, holy poo poo:

quote:


Clouds aren't always good news, however. "You have to be careful because you don't just worry about the size of the cloud. In it, there’s a difference in wind currents, and the temperature changes." Staying in a thick cloud for too long could cause your vision to be obscured with moisture in cockpit view, your fighter could suffer icing which would cause you to stall, or you could crash into another plane. "Once you get out of the loop and into the cloud, it isn't always necessarily safe. Sometimes more dangerous. So what’s new is that judgement call and shift in strategy you have to make yourself."

I've never been more excited for dynamic control surface icing before.

I would play the poo poo out of an Ace Combat with dynamically-generated missions and customizable wingmen who rise through the ranks before inevitably getting shot down. Throw in a Shadow of Mordor-esque nemesis system for dynamic enemy ace squadrons and I'll never play another game again.

Now I'm just imagining a recurring enemy Belkan ace screaming more angrily and incoherently about glorious Belka each time you meet, before being inevitably shot down and screeching "I'll get you next time! NEXT TIME!" or some other Saturday morning cartoon villain line.

While it was scripted and limited to one specific character, Crimson Skies had this as a reocurring enemy and it was hilarious how each crash made him more unhinged on the radio. :allears:

There are Macross skins for ACAH that never got hacked out, though, did they? I mean I expect with 7 being a mainline title and probably launching the same day as the other platforms might help on this regard, but I know there were Japan-only VF-1 skins for the Super Tomcat (of course) that I wanted and couldn't get.
