Yes, in Ace Combat 5 yes it is! And it's the best thing ever! But we can't show you that because it's spoilers, so instead here is its first appearance.

I will never not rewatch this whenever it comes up. I obviously have not played any of the Ace Combat games but Crow has made me a fan because of awesome poo poo like Puddle of Mudd featuring in this japanese-rear end plane game.

As soon as I posted that title, I got nostalgic for old flight sims like Chuck Yeager's Air Combat, that actually did have a blackout/redout mechanic

Can't remember if you could also rip your wings off overloading the plane, I always turned most of the realism off and basically rolled like a proto Ace Combat pitchin gobs of Sparrows at a B-29

The Japanese have perfected the art of putting basically the entire plot of a game in an attract sequence or long trailer but in such a manner that you will have no idea what's going on anyways until you remember seeing this or that 2 second clip in a cutscene later.

Recently, Yakuza 0 has done this in spectacular fashion with its opening. And also Nier for just HOW MUCH poo poo it throws at you in its opening that at first seems like nothing but is actually pretty major spoiler territory.

The overall formula is still the same of course but, as you say, if you're paying attention the first mission really does go to show just how different AC5 wanted to be from its predecessors, and honestly from it's successors as well even if it didn't know it. Though I guess since I've never played 6 as it remains an Xbox game it could be the outlier.

Even with more to come already we've been introduced to more characters with hints at more personality then every other main character in the series. Even Pixie only really had a few short lines of dialogue where he was actually expressing things about his character. I'd even say that AC5 manages to get the player attached to locations and things like no other game in the series, even if its just a minor attachment. It'll be nice to see it all over again.

Edit: Didn't notice that links to the new thread rather than the Youtube video I just watched. Ignore me!

One more bump to dodge the Archive Lock. I've got one last block of missions to record for Ace Combat 5, and once that's done I should be getting around to recording the bonus material for 04 (and finishing editing the Bonus Videos for Assault Horizon Legacy too).
