Look at all these people voting for pilots without a cool red phoenix emblem, shame. :colbert:

It's a launch PS2 game.

The thing about those options though is that it's the lazy way of doing it. It just cuts off the top and bottom. It's especially noticeable in cockpit mode, and it's really bad in AC0.

The F-5 is great, but I'm not gonna be too hard on Crow for hating it. He has a hard enough time dealing with his UGB problem, I can at least take some pity.

Crow, I am so very disappointed you didn't use this BGM for your experiment video:

I actually convinced him to use Drumfire, but he had already made the video like a month ago so :v:

Production I.G did the cutscenes for Electrosphere? It looks much worse than literally anything else I've ever seen from them. Ghost in the Shell it certainly ain't.

Well, how do you feel about 3D and Cyborg 009?

Oh, no, it's definitely not fair, but I've heard people talk about that movie as if it had the worst art of anything ever. I dunno, I think that's really good looking personally, but I'm weird. It's not as weirdly variable in quality as the Berserk OVAs, not charmingly jank like Sidonia, and not outright terrible like Berserk 2016. Could be much worse.

Also I hope you're all ready for the biggest, baddest, most exciting blowout 20th anniversary Ace Combat special from TGS 2016, because here it is

Oh trust me, I've seen janky CGI in the past as well. RE:Cyborg is nowhere near some the worst I've seen either.

Also, calling it now, that bird is totally Ace Combat 7's protagonist. No more pilot suits filled with springs and joints like the past protagonists, now it's a tiny bird committing war crimes.



Wouldn't be the first time.

you can totally tell this game was made by military fanboys without a proper consultant.

Well yes, the games were definitely made by and for Japanese milota. That said they're not meant to be realistic in any sense of the word, they're big bombastic arcade action experiences with silly superweapons and glorious, heartfelt anime speeches. Making them realistic would just detract from the experience.

On the subject of the Aegir Fleet, some time ago I came across some artwork that's basically a cross between Ace Combat and Kantai Collection. For those (possibly-morbidly) curious, courtesy of one "Tom-Neko" (it's a pun on the F-14, appropriately enough) I give you Geofon, Tanager, and Raven.

This is not a rabbit hole you want to start going down, Kad.

The next game can stick you in a real poo poo situation if you pick the A-10 for every ground mission, it's great.

And that mission is what got me into going into Ace difficulty with woefully underequipped planes. It's probably my favorite mission in the series.

radintorov posted:

Doing that with an A-10 is the one true way of completing that mission.

Nah, the A-10 in that game has 17 in air to air and 34 in mobility. Those numbers are just too high. We need to get at least one of those down by at least thirty percent.

Meanwhile, Infinity's QAAMs might as well just be slightly more powerful regular missiles for all the tracking they do.

We still have so far to go if we want to get to the best Infinity remix, honestly.

The cool part about the stonehenge battle is that the guns are so loving huge that the otherwise worthless rocketpods are really loving effective against them. Felt drat good to kill it in the F-5. :smugdog:

Yes but that isn't dumbfiring 6AAMs into the turrets and watching its health go down like mad. :kheldragar:

If the prospect of playing Ace Combat in VR isn't something you IMMEDIATELY thought of and looked forward to immensely from the second the concept was introduced of a modern VR thing, I don't know what to tell you other than you're pretty much in the wrong.

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.

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.
