I tried out the PW 2.0 beta and I'm coming in somewhat disappointed. On the one hand, it feels like bombs are actually useful on some missions now, and the lighting can look nicer in some places. On the other hand, the new clouds frankly look janky as hell, even on max settings (that you can't play with because of the severe framerate drop), and it feels like "we have ace combat 7 clouds at home! ace combat 7 clouds at home: "; it's further hurt by just smothering some maps in a cloud sea. Mission 13, Valkyrie's Call (the Hawaii mission) used to have a loose dusting of clouds that let you see the port as you dove in to attack, but now the whole port is covered in clouds which ruins the effect for me. I didn't notice a change in the flares and missile smoke trails although I'll assume they're improved. Apparently there are (or will be) significant changes to mercenary difficulty (to make it even harder) and conquest (to balance it out), neither of which I've really played, so eh on those.

A new Ace Combat alike game entered early access recently, called Nuclear Option. Has helicopter and bomber too.

I wouldn't call it Ace Combat like. It's much closer to a simcade style affair. It's the kind of game that advertises its HUD symbology on the store page, but not the kind that makes you read a manual to learn how to fly each plane. Think more War Thunder jets in the cockpit only mode.

Of note: The 25th anniversary concert and a remix album for AC just arrived on iTunes (and I assume spotify): https://music.apple.com/us/album/ace-combat-s-the-symphony-25th-anniversary-concert-album/1716491663 https://music.apple.com/us/album/ace-combat-series-special-remix-soundtrack/1715409966 Remix is kinda wild; it turns Liberation of Gracemeria into some EDM dance tunes, and Zero into electronic jazz.

Remembered that Keiki Kobayashi did music for a DCS campaign, is there anything in there on the level of Unsung War/Zero/Daredevil? Guessing he didn't have the budget for an orchestra/choir but you never know. IMO his contribution to the FF7 Remake soundtrack could have been an endboss fight in any game that wasn't already gonna have stuff as iconic as Jenova's and Sephiroth's music in it. Square's marketing department liked it enough they used it for a recent trailer for the second installment.

I love that you can go "oh that's Keiki" from literally the first note because that's such a Keiki Kobayashi horn.

You can check out the music for yourself, it's pretty good but definitely not on the level of Daredevil or Unsung War, let alone Zero. Eye for an Eye is pretty good, Warmonger is also great. They're all very good in the context of each mission for sure, but they're very much just generic Ace Combat tracks rather than any of the particularly memorable ones.

I beat the game with the Tomcat on the first go-around, then installed the mod that adds Prez to the F-15B ACTIVE (since it's actually modelled with 2 seats but isn't considered a 2-seater by the game, for whatever reason) for subsequent playthroughs. e; vv whoops, you're right, I mixed up which one of the two between IRL/the game was wrong. The mod does indeed change the FS-15 model to have two seats and be a two-seater, like the IRL one is (it's a good mod). Lemon-Lime fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jan 5, 2024 |

I beat my first playthrough on Normal using the MIG-25 and if you weren't cowards you could have done it too.  around the early middle she starts gasping and basically passes out while apologizing that you're finally going so far overboard that even she can't manage to keep up anymore and if you turn around in cockpit view you can see her slumped forward against the window

Project Wingman? No, it's PC, and works with any VR headset. Runs perfectly well on Vive and Index. But that's optional, you can just run it on flatscreen like a regular AC game

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34N52Ib3irk So apparently Tiberian Sons, a rock/metal cover band known for doing a bunch of really good C&C covers alongside Frank Klepacki on the Tiberian Dawn/Red Alert remaster soundtrack, is releasing a Anthems of Liberation, album with Ace Combat covers. There's a bunch of more songs up on their YT channel as well. Their rendition of Dual Wielder is really good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ThS0bFlZ94 Cooked Auto fucked around with this message at 19:23 on Jan 13, 2024 |

Never heard of these guys, know absolutely nothing about command and conquer, but I'll give it up, that's a really enjoyable album. You can listen to the whole thing on bandcamp which has 3 songs not on youtube, and one notable alternative to a version that is (zero without pixy's dialogue overlaid) https://thetiberiansons.bandcamp.com/album/anthems-of-liberation

I don’t usually listen to video game music when I’m not playing games but I went out and spent money on them back in the iTunes days because they’re that good.
