Ace Combat 7 has a new trailer! I'm so gay for these games! I love their stupid stories, the awesome soundtracks (especially AC2's) and the buddy-cop movie meets anime type radio chatter.

Ace Combat 7 will :siren: SUPPORT PSVR :siren: and I'm looking forward to making myself violently sick while playing virtual planes :rms:

Post your Ace Combatiest stories here (or don't)

I have a fondness for Zero myself because it's fairly wacky

5 and Zero are miles above 4 imo. The missions and structure are way more interesting and Zero has amazing dogfights.

I played Assault Horizon for 3 levels. I wanted to stop when I was forced into QTE mode to kill an ace. I really wanted to stop when I did a barrel roll in a helicopter. I stopped when an entire level was in Call of Duty airstrike mode.

Zero is the first chronologically so I would do Zero > 04 > 5. Release order is 04 > 5 > Zero though so if you want to see the evolution of mechanics that might be better.

I played UW for 6 years before I realized that answering no to a certain question would give you a different mission after. All the numbered games on the ps2 are so much win. I love the missions with either gigantic sky things you have to blow up or altitude restrictions because some super weapon is blowing up everything at 5,000 ft

Ace Combat 6 was also pretty decent and looks incredible even today. I hope it gets Xbone backwards compatibility at some stage. Story and overall epicness doesn't come close to the PS2 games but it's worth picking up

I think it's better to play 0 after 5 tbh. Just play those 3 for sure though.

I think Zero loses mechanics as you don't get the decision trees during missions

The Ace Style mechanic works similarly, leading to different ace squadron fights and plane unlocks instead of different missions. I really like that feature.

i wish they didn't gently caress up 3 when they brought it over cause i still thought it was cool as hell even chopped to bits.

the weird underground city/base mission was cool. i don't remember the game too well cause it was a long rear end time ago

i am very excited for a new entry in the series. hopefully there will be more planes than 5.

did anyone play infinity? i did for a bit but p2p is rear end

I have a ps3 & 4 and I really enjoy games where I fly planes around and shoot things with my plane gun, are there any good videogames available with these things other than gta v? Preferably on psn so I don't actually have to talk to another human being

I've never played Ace Combat, but if it's full PSVR support and not just like a VR DLC or mission, I'll probably get it, because that sounds fun.

Ace Combat Infinity is a F2P game on the PS3. It's like a Best Of of the older games in terms of content but there is no campaign I think, just individual missions.

Not much otherwise, Ace Combat 6 was X360 exclusive

the missions seem great until you realize that they are time limited to like... 4 minutes and it takes 8 hours to get a new play and you can get a max of 3. it's really bad but it satisfied the ace combat need for a little bit.

i thought i saw an early video of the vr on youtube and it looked awesome. basically the play is the same you can just look around the cockpit. very immersive.

is the psvr gonna drop in price though? i was under the impression it wasn't very popular.

Yoshida suggested that Its sold out or was almost everywhere for a long time at launch, at least in Europe. Sony always deal with actual sales rather than shipped so could be a bit longer before actual numbers go out.

I heard 3 is getting fully translated this week. The original localization ditches half of the missions and all the branching paths and cutscenes so this might be cool.

Definitely. Also big ups to the truly dedicated indie devs who still publish shmups for the Dreamcast and such. With huge manuals and boxes for 200 dollars
