I'm not gonna buY PSVR but I can not wait to visit my friend who did and play the VR missions at his place. Although between this and tetris it's tempting

I haven’t played it yet but apparently the port of AC5 that was included has been upscaled and looks really well.

That was most excellent however the story is just retarded and not Ace Combat Retarded. New Game+ or straight into 5?

It’s upscaled nicely and plays really smooth. This betrays the age of the scenery textures but the planes and cockpits themselves look great.

Only bummer is the lack of autosave :negative: lost my progress earlier

My only disappointment with this game is that the multiplayer, while fun, feels really barebones even in comparison to previous games. 4v4 multiplayer just feels really small-scale compared to the relatively massive single player missions. I’d love to see some sort of 12v12 Siege mode with a big battle going on on the ground with objectives each team has to attack/defend, or something.

Oddly enough, I think Assault Horizon actually supported 8v8 matches and objective modes, but I hardly touched that game and frankly the less said about it the better.

Yeah exactly like what is the point of having anything except fighters online

Hopefully theyll expand it over time

I really should rant about how weak the final mission in this is. One of the things that always stuck with me about this series is how cool the final mission in each game is- the ones that stick out most are the final mission of 4 which occurs in the midst of an armageddon-level asteroid event, the final mission of 0 which is probably the coolest 1-on-1 dogfight in the series to date, and the last mission in 6 where you have to assault a gigantic doomsday cannon base that has a loud ominous voice doing a countdown.

The final mission in 7 is a relatively easy dogfight against a pair of experimental drones while your 12 teammates do nothing except for a couple randos who die. Then you do a tunnel run which is kinda neat until you reach a large chamber where... the last enemy just lazily flies around and does nothing while you shoot it. Then you shoot some light fixtures and fly up. Boring. The game’s story made such a big deal about how Mihaly’s experience and skill gets uploaded to those drones and I was hoping that the drones would actually be intimidating and scary and harder to fight. Maybe they could taunt you by playing back the recordings of the people Mihaly killed, like imagine them chasing after you while saying *kssshtt* THE WEAK GET EATEN. *kssshht* I’M SCARED. or something

My point is, they need to hurry up and release Ace Combat 8 already because I’m starting to get impatient.

Agreed on all of this, OP. The game lacked a main antagonist as to be honest I can’t remember which of the countries was the baddie.

I hope they will. Not sure what the sales figures are like in the US but it sold well in Japan and Europe so there is interest in the franchise still. A port of 0 would be just :discourse:

I’m on my fifth playthrough of this. Just wrapped up my MG-only playthrough (I hate that last mission even more now) and am currently on my <4 hours+no damage playthrough. I LOVE this game and I’m so excited to play 4/5, and Zero again.

I'm extremely bad at this game but I'm enjoying it immensely. I started off using expert controls thinking I might have to turn them off but it's pretty much how I expected the game to control I really like it.

The other control option in ace combat games seriously hinders your ability to play and I don't know why it's there
