Nah all the Megacorps are totally just rebranded Grunders. All of them. They all think they're the only survivors of the purge though so the entire lead up to AC3 was just high level Belkan operatives in CEO positions loving each other over without realizing it.

Using unmanned drones in terrorist attacks and stealing the single largest piece of infrastructure in the world that toke the combined effort and resources of entire continent worth of countries to build. I think Osea is a little justified in bombing their enemy back to the stone-age until they're forced to give it back, at least in my opinion.

Kibayasu posted:They really should have gone with a different name for Osea or Usea. Yeah it's kind of hilarious. These are the deeply meaningful names that many Ace Combat fans demand, no substitutes  They do this all the time, though sometimes it's not quite this bad. In 6 we had Emmeria and Estovakia - sure both E names but at least they're different enough in pronunciation. Osea Usea Erusea though? No wonder Belka was always the bad guys - that's the name which is different enough you won't mistake them for anyone else.

Also in preparation for Ace Combat 7, Namco just released the full lore book for Ace Combat 04 in PDF format. It's all in Japanese and it's largely just a complied version of the old AC04 website, but it's still something.

I happen to be fluent in Japanese and it’s 54 pages detailing how Belka did nothing wrong. What’s the over under on the fan base being crazy enough to translate that sucker?

Warbird posted:I happen to be fluent in Japanese and it’s 54 pages detailing how Belka did nothing wrong. I wouldn’t put it past them. The Ace Combat community has quite a few folks in it who’ve done nothing but translate obscure background lore that PA puts out for the series. And like I said earlier, it appeared to be a compiled version of the old AC04 website, which has been translated to hell and back already. Also, Ace Combat 7 received a ratings classification from the Australian government. Historically speaking, this tends to mean that a release is imminent as the Australian gov’t usually holds off until the last possible second before giving a game a content rating akin to PEGI or ESRB. I’m sure 7 will find some way to subvert this, but we’ll see...

On the PSVR side of things we're drooling over the RB6 Siege-like game Firewall, currently rated everywhere but effin PEGI. When that board presents the rating, it's time to prepare the party.

Project Wingman just put out a new version of their Kickstarter demo featuring a prototype of their Conquest Mode game mode. I'm downloading it now so haven't played it yet, but should be interesting!

I played a little bit of it. From what I can tell it's a gradually escalating difficulty mode (the 'alert level' rises as you fly missions, clock is paused between them) where you try to hit your score target and make money as fast as you can so you can upgrade your own plane / hire allied planes to handle the harder missions. it says "this is very early, work in progress, things may change/be broken/everything" about 300 times so it's more a concept than anything but it's flyable. you liberate territory and maybe in the future you can do stuff with that territory (construct things?) but right now, it's just a series of fairly barebones A2A missions with score attack objectives. also, B-52s have tailguns. The more you know!

Also, from the phrasing I wouldn't be surprised if Erusean military facilities are deliberately located in cities. Though of course even if they weren't Osean would use a sledgehammer because they can.

When I was in, I worked with a former B52 crew chief who had all sorts of stories. The turret got pulled out sometime in the 90s after the first Gulf War though, something to do with the fire control radar causing a HARM to hit a B52.

Could've been a factor, I dunno. but I bet that crew chief had some great stories

Could've been a factor, I dunno. I’ll have to check that out. Must’ve been a poo poo day for the crew on that BUFF. Was the bombing from the B-52 enjoyable in Wingman? I can only recall a few missions in any of the Ace Combat and maybe one of the Tom Clancy games where you flew a dedicated bombing platform. The descriptions of bombing runs from that crew chief have instilled a desire to see it in video game form; World in Conflict’s air strikes were as close as I’ve seen.

oh, I meant the enemy B-52s. As in they were shooting me when I thought I'd line up an easy rear-aspect kill I have no idea if playable bombers are in Wingman's scope. I found them to be reasonably entertaining in AH capital conquest, but that's because you didn't see them very often so the novelty didn't wear off. WIC's support options are probably the closest you'll get in a videogame I know of. Those were well crafted.

Does not work in all browsers, had to switch to Edge. Pretty. Still listed as coming this year, pay no attention to the 2019 date on the boxart. BelkaNamco hopefully doesn't equate fiscal year 2018 with actual 2018.

The window to announce a 2018 release date is closing more and more as the days roll on. TGS 2018 starts September 19th this year, so if it comes and goes and there’s STILL no release date, then it’s skipping 2018. nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Jul 19, 2018 |

I've been replaying AC6 on a nostalgia kick and it's, actually, really good? It's the only AC I've played aside from Horizon The script is truly godawful but you can just skip the cutscenes and I really enjoy how sprawling and alive the battlefields feel. Now I'm gonna replay Horizon and see if it's secretly good too.

Also doing Aigaion in the F-15 with UGBL lets you do the whole rear end mission in like 3 minutes flat. You use the "cover me" wingman super action to make your bros murder strigon team and you just huck bombs at the stupid rear end loving air whale planes and it 100% decimates them in 1 or 2 hits. Aigaion takes maybe 10 bombs. AC6 is my favorite AC by far.
