Gonna be puking like hell over my PSVR from January 18th 2019.

2019!? :negative:

In the meantime let’s reminisce about epic moments had with our good pals Solo Wing Pixy and the Sand Island Squadron.

I also pray for a 4K backwards compatible 6 cause it still looks quite good.

Apparently this is quite unlikely as some guy said it had been removed from the Xbox 360 store and that bodes poorly for future backwards compatible games :smith:

Not sure why the PS2 games never appeared in the PS3 or PS4.

If you wanted to play them all again I’d skip Air Combat and maybe have Electrosphere (3) as an option.

4 had excellent bad voice acting, especially in the story sections between chapters. Not sure if the others are the same way.

That’s the Ace Combat schtick

6 had those stupid super cluster missiles fired by a large rail gun in the arctic. It also had an airborne aircraft carrier and flying support battleships.

Sick I want a mission that takes place up there.

There was a mission in one of the games where you had to fly through a final piece of falling debris to destroy it I think.

Are you thinking of the SOLG at the very end of the game? You don't HAVE to fly through it to destroy it but you CAN if you want to. I'd always get behind it to start shooting it down only to get killed by a solar panel flying off.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking of

i never played 6 because it looked really bad

There was nothing particularly wrong with 6 except for the dialogue being extra lame (or not lame enough?) and the fact that it was exclusive to Xbox. If you pre-order 7 for Xbox you get a copy of 6 which was not previously backwards compatible.

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

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.

why don’t they just release it standalone.

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:

Bought this yesterday, it’s amazing so far. The air combat feels quite good and the difficulty feels really balanced on hard mode.

The story... well... it’s fine.

Are there aces to fight in each mission in this?

New Game+ for the aces I think, OP
