General rule of thumb I'm seeing with post-UE4 Japanese PC game development
>if it isn't a Souls game, you can probably get it running on a toaster if you value performance over quality

That said, I don't think Namco-ACES was directly hands on in the port of Assault Horizon to PC, so I dunno how much of this is unfamiliar territory for them (for reference, AH on PC ran like greased lightning). UE4 is well documented in moonrune though and that's made a world of difference as seen in how widely adopted that platform is, but I'm not sure what exactly to expect for their PC executable.

What I'm curious about is if, since the Switch is apparently getting UE4 support, they could get it running on that platform with acceptable performance and quality. I'm not saying it's going to compare to playing it on a home console or high end PC rig, but the novelty of a console-style AC on a device like the Switch really appeals to me on a technical level.

Go out and do something about it and soapbox where it's appropriate and do more than just simply whine. Elsewise, people are going to just take you for what you're being; A joke.

>prevent human death and suffering from war

Literally the worst excuse for drone warfare ever. Great, so your soldiers/pilots don't die but wars are now easier to justify than ever.

It seems clouds are the big thing in 7.


>"In the past we used overlapping texture plates to appear as clouds. But this time we created them using 3D models," Kono said. But as mundane as this might sound, the advancement in the series' cloud creation technology is not purely aesthetic. Kono explained that in creating levels for Ace Combat 7, the placement of fully-formed, volumetric clouds is an attempt to change the way players approach the act of dogfighting.

>"In the open sky, when players get into a dogfight, they tend to just loop around and around all the time [in the process of evading enemy fighters]. But this time we can cut off that loop by giving aircraft an option of banking into a cloud to escape." In our short hands-on experience with the game, this did prove to be a quick and effective way to break line-of-sight, get someone off your tail, and reset the advantage.

>Clouds aren't always good news, however. "You have to be careful because you don't just worry about the size of the cloud. In it, there’s a difference in wind currents, and the temperature changes." Staying in a thick cloud for too long could cause your vision to be obscured with moisture in cockpit view, your fighter could suffer icing which would cause you to stall, or you could crash into another plane. "Once you get out of the loop and into the cloud, it isn't always necessarily safe. Sometimes more dangerous. So what’s new is that judgement call and shift in strategy you have to make yourself."

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ace-combat-7-skies-unknown-goes-back-to-its-roots/1100-6447272/

>>15157435
Actually it seems more that test pilot guy is testing the g-suit more than anything. Whether it's to prolong the combat viability of soldiers so that even grizzled vets can keep up with the youngsters, or if it's to allow a human to transcend physical limitations and compete with automated combat drones, that's something I don't know the answer.

The way I see it, the game's going to cover the subject of the COFFIN system.

>>15157442
The clouds do look pretty sexy from what I've seen so far in the trailers and gameplay.

>>15154161
They're called blasters in Star Wars and they fire bolts of ionized gas (plasma, really) confined in a magnetic bubble. The fact that there are things kicking around called "turbolasers" that function the same but on a larger scale is mostly a branding thing; "turboblaster" just sounds stupid.

Those are called enhanced weapons pods.
The F-22 has had the option to mount external hardpoints since forever.

>>15158533
Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the super expensive to maintain radar deflecting capability

>>15158559

The pods themselves are stealthy as well.

It's why they use the pods, rather than just put the missiles on the hardpoints.

>>15158559
>oesn't that defeat the purpose of the super expensive to maintain radar deflecting capability
No because it doesn't negate the stealth effect completely, it just makes it slightly easier to detect.

>>15154109

The raptor has to be the sexiest and most awesome plane to have been made to date. The F-35 is supposed to be sleek and all, but it still doesn't hold a candle to the F-22.

>>15158781
I agree.

>>15158804

The plane can internally carry up to 10 missiles + has hardpoints for up to 2 enhanced weapon pods, each of which could carry anywhere from 2-4 missiles each; and you have a hyper-fast stealth monster that is armed to the fucking teeth.

I can't wait to play it in AC7.

>>15158824
One of the more exciting things about AC7 is that loadouts are not restricted to certain plane classes.
So you can slap those missile pods on all the planes you unlock.

Will you be able to cut thrust then flip your plane backwards to shoot behind you like Yukikaze?

the F-23 looks slightly more sleeker from the front than the somewhat taller looking F-22

I heard it was faster too, but for some reason the F-22 was chosen because the US thought a stealth fighter needed to be good at dogfighting, as opposed to the engage and fly-the-fuck-away-faster doctrine the F-23 was designed for

Although I heard the typhoon is a better dogfighter than the raptor

Wrong.
You really shouldn't take the results of training excercises as something that would translate to an actual combat situation.

AFAIK, in the most recent combat sim the Raptor and Typhoon were nearly identical in terms of dogfighting capability. However, the Raptor gets an edge due to its sensors having a better beyond-visual-horizon targeting range.

>>15161969
Unless you're an actual F-22 pilot training on official USAF simulators, there's no way you're getting anything close to what the aircrafts actual capabilities are.

But AC7 is on UE4.

>>15163091
That's because
A) Infinity uses the AH engine
B) Infinity was pretty much trying to make a conventional game out of an engine designed around getting in close and showering you in plane gore, which resulted in a game regularly prone to shitting itself
C) The pvp elements were horrifically imbalanced in the absence of CRA, with matches always going to whoever bribed their way into the broken plane of the month

Besides, you know what game mode really needs to come back?

Capital Conquest.

By the way, you guys do realize breaking line of sight with clouds was a thing way back in Sky Crawlers: Innocent Aces, right?

The final fight with Orishina makes heavy use of it.

Oh yeah the PvP deathmatches were broken. But I was talking about the PvE horde mode. If you geared out your plane right you can compete with some of those endgame planes.
I personally used an F-15E throughout the lifespan of Infinity and never had trouble keeping up with kills/points

>>15163161

No, you watch the video faggot. He states that when they were first developing AC7, they started working on the AH engine, and did a lot of prototyping work in it. But they've since then moved into UE4 and are using TrueSky middleware for the cloud rendering.

AH Engine was used strictly for gameplay prototyping. Main development and final implementation is all UE4 + TrueSky.

>>15161485
Unfortunately they removed HAWX from Steam. Ace Combat 7 will be our new lord and savior for aerial battle sims on PC.

Like, having a Verusean War, between Yuktobania and all those other countries neighboring it that we know absolutely nothing about. Sotoa kinda looks like Africa, there should be no shortage of wars there.

It's incredibly forgettable despite having some pretty good music.

That said I think it has the best cockpit view so far of the franchise. Remains to be seen if 7's VR will oneup it on that front, but getting a nice pulled-back view with active dashboard implements was quite immersive.

ALSO YOU COULD SEE YOUR LEGS.

YOU KNOW YOU'VE HIT THE BIG LEAGUES WHEN YOUR GAME LETS YOU SEE YOUR OWN LEGS.

Ace Combat 7

Apparently the cockpit instruments in 7 will be all functional too.
No idea about the legs though.

Belkan science at its best once again.

I'd like to see a game set during the estovakian civil war, and have you play as the squadron that becomes strigon team. It could mirror the current conflict in ukraine, and have yuktobania invade during the height of the civil war to take back their land (assuming estovakia is like a balkan state).

So much slavshit planes and absurd soviet-tech superweapons

When there was no merit to it in terms of his justification and then the damage control claiming it wasn't a ban targeting Muslims when they specifically carved out exceptions for Christians. Plus, the false equivalency to Obama's policy putting a freeze of Visas from Iraq after the FBI found that terrorists might have exploited a loophole to get into the US. So Obama's freeze was justified because he got intel saying there was a flaw that needed to be fixed. There was no such issue when Trump issued his Muslim ban. Now we get to see a Constitutional Crisis when he ignores the Federal court's order saying the ban is unconstitutional and blocked pending appeal.

>we'll all die before its released,
I won't, but I hope you do.

So what emulator do you /m/agpies recommend for Ace Combat 3? I used to use epsxe but people tell me that sucks now.

>>15174360
I finished AC3 all endings back in december using epsxe in my toaster. It ran pretty good.

Retroarch is objectively the best choice right now.

What's the point?

>>15174718
RA is not an emulator. Mednafen PSX is.

>>15169068
Functional in what way? As in, the instruments actually reflecting the current state of the plane? The bearing indicator on the A-10's canopy spinning accurately?

I have a flightsim on my phone that does that.

>>15174918
Because it's referring to the Julius Cesar-attributed quote of "Veni, vidi, vici", which is usually translated as "I came, I saw, I conquered".

If it's on steam doesn't that mean there will be no physical media release for PC?

>>15168356
Wait, 6 is the only Ace that did that so far?

>>15175488
Yes but Veni on its own doesn't mean "I came"...

>>15175558
No, Steam is just a platform for digital downloads/sales.

Plenty of games have physical discs and Steam/Origin/Uplay/GOG sales as well.

04 onward had some animated elements, I think compasses, tachometers and the horizon gyro were the most you could expect. One of the cooler cockpits was the Falken, which not only transformed along with the plane when exposing the TLS, but also had the dash point the little "currently armed weapon" arrow up and down based on if you were on missiles or TLS.

It was with 6 however that I distinctly remember the game would plaster the actual map texture you'd see if you blew up the map view onto a plane's MFD if it had one, and that shit blew my mind.

I'd assume Assault Horizon might've had some of that going on too, but you'd never see it because the game returns the cockpit FOV to PS2-era "dry hump the dashboard and HUD reflector," and that's just in normal play. It's a shame because the game really put the extra effort into adding these little touches like the different warning voices, I could totally believe someone put time into animating a MFD element for a few planes that displayed stuff like the currently selected weapon, and no one would ever find out about it because of the FOV setting.


>>15176939
I don't think Steam games with disc releases have had the actual game as on-disc data for a while now, they're just there to install Steam and ask for the CD key.

Huh, we can get away with AC shitposting on /m/? Might be my new favorite.
