One of the best and sad moment at the final confrontation with pixy.
>yfw you and pixy once flew together but at the end end up having to fight each other at the final end of the sky
>he still respects you
>I even bought flowers!
>dies
What did they mean by this? Why would they kill him right at the end?
He wasn't even mentioned ONCE after that.
Are these one of those moments in games that got the friend at first, seperate apart, confront your old friend as an enemy and betrays you but at the very end still respects you right?
Because holy fuck that last battle with pixy was intense and emotional as hell when I played this long time ago.
>>381911707
;_________;
This twisted game needs to be reset.
I don't understand what is this about?
>>381915226
He's asking if you're still alive, buddy.
Why does everyone quote Zero when 5 was better in pretty much every conceivable way besides awkward FMV cutscenes?
>>381913031
he always was a disposable side character but they tried to get the player mad/motivated to fuck pixy up by making pixy killing pj.
>>381915407
Zero is better
Ace Combat 7 has a chance of being just as good as Zero, even though they seem to be taking some lessons from 5's book.
But:
>Flanker as the canon plane
>AWwNB making a return, albeit only in name
>wankery setting up AC03
Are welcome changes.
>>381915407
5 and Zero complement each other. Where one is weak, the other is strong.
>>381915559
>AC03
You wish, boyo. It's dead hipster trash.
>>381912910
>Holds no hard feelings. Wants to see you again.
>>381915692
What
>>381911707
>>381911707
One thing I really dont like about AC endings is they never ever mention any of the stuff again.
I want to know what happened to Pixy and Cipher and Blaze etc.
>>381916129
that's not the point
So who else sympathized with pixy for his reasonings and his motives especially his expression and emotions towards cipher?
>>381915407
As far as story and characters go, 5 is by far the worst of the PS2 trilogy. Couldn't give any less of a fuck about the characters and there's some prime cringe material in the cutscenes. something 4 and zero don't have.
4>Zero>5
>>381916352
nah he was a moron
>>381916352
I sympathize with Pixy and think he's a great villain because he's a genuinely nice guy and was trying to do what he thought would end the war. But his plan to end war is retarded, and he even realizes this in the ending cutscene, because eliminating borders wouldn't end war whatsoever.

>>381916903
wtf, he's great
>>381915559

Honestly I doubt it. The trailers are super short but you can still already find really weird writing. Nothing as cool as Zero
All the focus on drones and AI seems to make the plot steer away from AC3's plot
The song is average
>>381915692
What the fuck
>>381917032
Looking at imbd, he became a dedicated film crew person after this, since thats what hes been doing ever since.
>>381916903
Nah, I won't believe this.
These live action scenes were super cringy and stupid but still miles better than pretty much all of AC5.
>>381912910
>tfw Pixy and Cipher probably never saw each other again after that
>tfw Cipher might not have seen the interview
is just me or does Ryan Reynolds looks like a real buddy?
Convince me to play Zero again for the alternate routes.
>>381916903
>He probably has no idea he became a meme thats loved by an entire fanbase.
I really enjoyed the different style they went with this game. Instead of playing as your generic hero that goes and saves the world and all that fairy tale stuff you play as a mercenary that is not a true hero but not a true badguy because your just a normal human being and you follow down the story of friendship, hardship, betrayal and at the end you are cipher and you are a mercenary but a true ace to both yourself and to pixy himself.
You are the true Razgriz as you rise as one and you disappear as one.
>>381917893
Play for the gauntlet...against mobious 1

Despite ace combat zero having a better storyline and the character relationship between cipher and pixy I have to admit seeing chopper die like that legit made me feel like shit for a while and made me wanted to slaughter and kill every single yukes in that game.
Too bad you end up partnering up with the yukes though.
heya friendo, you still kickin'?
here comes them there snowfall
y'know, folks who are still runnin' around after a long time start to think they're real tough or somethin', i bet you do too pal
can y'see any lines in the sand up here? what do they gotta do with anything?
real shame, friendo
this goofy game needs a re-do
that's what mark duo is for
we'll put this thing back in the oven and let the next folks handle the rest
I tell ya, we're basically a mirror image of eachother don'tcha think?
we look a lil' similar but I reckon we aint never gonna look at things the same way
now we find out who runs this rodeo!

>>381911707
So I wanna try the series out before the new game comes out
I got a PS3, Steam, PSP and a 3DS, how would I get into the series and what order? You guys make it sound like its the best thing since sliced bread.
Open to emulation as well.
>>381917851
No
>>381923696
Play Assault Horizon on PC, it's the best.
>>381923696
The PS2 games (4, 5, Zero in that order) are usually regarded as the high point in the series. I hear emulation support has improved significantly for them recently so you could give that a shot.
Besides those there are dozens of decent entries in the series. The ones worth considering are:
>2 on PS1, remade as Assault Horizon Legacy for 3DS. Not to be confused with Assault Horizon, which is garbage.
>3 on PS1, get the translation patch because the official localized version cuts out most of the content
>6 on 360
>X and possibly JA on PSP
>Maybe Infinity on PS3 but only once you're a fan
>>381923696
Well, unless your ps3 is one of the few with retrocompatibility, emulation is your thing.
4,5 and zero on ps2. 5 and zero emulate well, 4, has some issues.
And there is also X on psp.
>>381923696
Play ace combat four then ace combat five then finally ace combat zero and trust me you will enjoy ace combat games.
>>381923696
The /acg/ has a mega link that has much of the stuff you want to look for.
>>381924048
Isn't this infographic out of date? I thought they cleaned up most of the emulation issues.
>>381924156
Yea its old, the latest beta build gets the games running. 4 still has problems with black planes though.
>>381923696
Here's a secret that nobody will tell you because it's HERESY. But I fear no anon and their false gods.
When you play 5 and if you happen to love it, DO NOT PLAY Zero right after it. Have a break. If you don't, it'll just feel like an expansion pack rather than it's own thing and there's a good chance you'll be underwhelmed.
>>381924156
the only problem with emulation is in 4,with black planes
The others runs at full speed with no issues

>>381925996

You sound like exactly the sort of person who supports Sony being against backwards compatibility.
>>381925845
AC7 looks fantastic and the hype is back
I know it made some peoples pick the games up for the first time too
The fact that the trilogy can actually be emulated now probably helps.
>yfw Pixy uses a COFFIN in AC7
The fact that Ace Combat 7 looks excellent really makes you think, what the fuck was Project Aces, or Namco, or whoever thinking when they developed Assault Horizon?
Like, what the fuck? I know it was labelled an "experiment" but why?
>>381926223
>implying it's about graphics
>not being a graphic fag anyway
If you don't care about graphics, you don't need remakes. Stupid Ninten drone.
>>381922346
But the "get this many points in this amount of time" is a shit system. It makes it more arcadey.
Tell me /v/, what is a nation?
>>381926539
I disagree with you.
>>381926223
Why would you not want a good looking AC game? what the fuck?
Also, is that not the point of an AC remake?

It's the gameplay, pure and simple. Are you telling me you wouldn't want to replay AC4 redone in Cross Rumble Style? Where lead pilots of Rapier, Viper, Omega are recurring characters? The Eursans have more ace squadrons outside of the Yellows that you face off against? All the other quality of life additions from 5, Zero and 6 are included into 4?

Why does E3 hate fun things?
>>381927292
Oh come on now. The high quality of the presentation. Cut Zero's budget and you wouldn't get such a cool buddy. Like it or not it's an important part of the experience and AC was always pushing for higher quality graphics, tech and style which is also part of the reason why it's a successful series, don't throw PA's efforts under the bus.
>>381927624
4 > 5 > Zero
Wait a bit between each one so you don't burn out and can appreciate the different styles. Each one is unique.
>>381927647
they realize that it's about the only game presented that has value so they're keeping it off of our hands until it releases.
Don't blame them doez.
Please for the love of god let the new game have the player play as the silent male protagonist please I like the silent protagonist.
>>381913031
He wasn't mentioned because nobody knew about him, he isn't mentioned again but in the credits there is a part when they show a scrap of metal with flowers on it near avalon
>>381927647

>>381928026
i think he's saying that the 3ds will hold everything back,while an home console will make the game shinei think
>>381927927
This reminds me.
Is it better to have a silent protagonist or a protagonist that has a voice?
Why are the missing briefings so comfy lads? Honestly one of the best parts of the game for me.
>>381928026
That's not what he was saying, he's saying that Ace Combat Zero is more than the sum of its parts.
The high quality graphics and sound design compliment the gameplay and without them the game would have ended up significantly worse, both as a cohesive whole and from a general kinaesthetic point of view.
Something something gesamtkuntswerk.
>>381928026
Because making remake on 3DS will surely improve the controls right?
Idiot.

You can just NOT use flares then.
>>381933097
from what we've seen, the flares are pretty limited. On the gameplay we've seen from IGN and the like, they had 4 flares. Odds are they were playing on like novice, so we'll probably have 1 maximum and none on higher difficulties
They don't seem that bad as long as they're only there for new players to use as a safety net until they learn how to break away
>>381932335
Found 4 at a flea market for $3, while lead to look for 5 and 0 at a mom and pop game shop for about $12 each. I only seen the thread and so I didn't know what I was getting into. Safe to say, I got well over my money's worth.
