Ace Combat

An HD collection would be fine with me. A remake would change too much.

For me, it's my boy Gryphus getting the game he deserves. X is a decent game, especially for a portable title, but it can become a great game that rivals the Holy Trinity if it was on a powerful system and had controls that made sense.

I'd kill for shattered skies with 7's grafix. All these years and still my favorite game to play.

>tfw the fictional superplane 7 is a Super Starfighter

The only problem I have with AC7 is that it feels like it's leaning too hard on the holy trinity nostalgia.

A war starting with no one knowing who actually triggered it pushed by a warmongering leader. The territories looking like AC4 on Erusea and ACZero on Osea. The SU ace with special wings versus a white stripe ace.

Even the super fortresses are getting a little too Arkbird-like.

They already did the trinity wank in infinity though. Going too far in the opposite direction just makes it a soulless retread hitting the same beats we've already danced to.

Having some of it is fine; keeping strangereal history coherent and all. However I'd much rather they tied it in to X and 3 than do 4/5/Zero all over again.

>>388397014
sounds good to me

>>388397014
I kind of agree with you. It's nice to see homages to the old games, but I am worried that it will cut down on creativity.

Funny cause 4 and Zero already did. 27+ was the most underwhelming final stage ever in an AC game, you literally shoot down 10 planes and then the rest of the time you fire at a falling satellite that doesn't move or return fire (and it ends in less than 2 minutes).

Well, yeah, but that's more of a problem with the Ace Combat AI in general. It's kind of shit.

>>388398831
Yeah, the gameplay does look good, and it'll probably be quite fun, but the moddable aspect is what I was mostly focusing on. I just really like moddable games, and I'm always looking for good ones in every genre. Vector Thrust also does the gameplay quite well, which makes it all the more disappointing that its modding tools aren't getting more use.

I love the narrative in 5 and how it gives each mission proper context. I'd disagree with you on the mission design point and villains and characters are largely irrelevant.

>>388399272
Yeah don't know much about games that play like AC AND are moddable. Looks like you might have to wait some more. :/
But I have high hopes for the dev of PW, especially after getting that grant from Epic Games.

>>388399547
AC5 has missions that can be rendered unwinnable. Zero doesn't.

>villains and characters are largely irrelevant.

You'd be right if you didn't spend the majority of your time with the game listening to them.

>>388399149
>>388399249
It does make me wonder about how real air combat is apparently BVR 99% of the time, and it actually works. You'd think that if your attacker is so far away, that just gives you a *lot* of time to do something about the missile, such that BVR shouldn't really work. I'm sure real fighter pilots aren't flying straight into real-life XMAAs, and they have flares and chaff on top of that, so how does it work?

>>388399654
>unwinnable missions
What

>>388399654
>unwinnable missions
Like?

>>388399667
Real life missiles maneuver a LOT better than real life fighter jets. Imagine if EVERY missile had AC04 QAAM level homing ability.

>>388399654
>AC5 has missions that can be rendered unwinnable

Which ones exactly? I remember Closure coming close, if you're playing on the harder difficulties and spend most of your ammo on secondary targets.

The worst part of AC5 is that every plane can only carry one special weapon, so you have to buy an entirely new plane if you want to use a bomb instead of an anti-ship missile. That was really weird.

>>388399654
Don't know what you mean by "unwinnable missions".
Other than that, I agree with everything else and think 5 is inferior to Zero (and 4 to an extent).
The only things I liked about 5 more than other games are that there is a large roster of planes along with their respective variants as well as how you can command (although poorly) THREE wingmen, which was really cool and felt like you were part of a team.

>>388399780
>>388399803
>>388399859

Desert Arrow/Lightning. Removing the ability to rearm mid-mission is completely indefensible.

>>388399925
How do they become unwinnable? If you waste all of your ammunition like a retard?

>>388399808
real life fighter jets only get to carry 6 bullshit win button super missiles so its perfectly balanced.

so which country has the best / worst fighter jets?

>>388399889
I feel like that restriction was just to force the 'grinding for upgraded planes' mechanic, which was an excuse to add variants of planes as 'new planes' to buff up the plane count.
Remember that one of the Ridge Racer games advertised itself as having 321 cars, but really it was just 45 unique cars, and 276 palette swaps with slightly different stats.

>>388399808
And I'm guessing they're also not easily spoofed, so you can't just drop a countermeasure when they're still miles away?

>>388399960
>waste all your ammunition
nigga, there is barely enough ammo for the entire mission.
i wouldn't say they are unwinnable tough.

It's a "score X amount of points" missions with more targets than available ammo, and then after waiting the full 15 minutes, they throw more at you.

Never once have I run out of ammo in 5. The only time I ever came close was the first time I played Journey Home, which worked fantastically as it made me incredibly desperate at the end which was the point of the mission.

>>388400112
this twisted game is starting to get on my nerves.

>>388400045
>nigga, there is barely enough ammo for the entire mission.

I don't get it, you just need 10,000 points to finish it. I usually have 22k+ towards the end, even wíthout a dedicated bomber.

>>388400019
And since you also need to buy planes for your wingmen, that means a *lot* of grinding if you want them to have certain weapons. Or if you just like to have everyone flying the same plane because you're OCD like me.

>>388400112
Yeah, but that doesn't change the way that any talk on how real air combat between modern jets works is almost purely theoretical.

I hope I can just play co op missions with my buds on pc.

>>388400156
>>388400203
>over 90 targets in a single mission
>even after hitting the requirement for the objective, you have to wait the full 15 minutes before anything happens

Hitting the objective is easy, and with all the time left over of course players are going to try to kill everything.

>>388400297
I would be very surprised if there isn't a coop mode in 7. It would be just like Infinity, except it won't ask for fuel every fucking mission.

>>388400203
Not him, but he is right. It happened to me few times too. If you shoot every target and I mean everything, even if you don't miss anything and waste ammo, then after mission update when you have to shoot down the bombers, you will have zero ammunition left not even machine gun.

>>388400112
Well, the thing is that if two countries with comparable air forces were fighting each other, they might just use nukes before it even gets to that point. That's one of the reasons why they specifically designed Strangereal to have very, very few nuclear weapons.

>>388399960
>>388400045
>>388400148
I wouldn't call the AC5 desert missions unwinnable, but it's bad design to put up way more targets than the ammo you have available, then throw a curveball of extra enemies right at the end of the time limit with no warning. Other missions are much shorter, so running low on ammo is only a concern if you have shit accuracy.
Personally, I think gun ammo should always be infinite, even on higher difficulties, but they may need to balance gun damage to compensate.

>>388400509
I think that anon meant grinding to fill the kill gauges to unlock planes. That being said, most of the good planes can by unlocked via mission progression. If you clear the campaign, but never fill a kill gauge, you only really miss the F-15 and Flanker families, most of which have alternatives.

>>388400509
You're not grinding for money. You're grinding for "exp" to unlock new planes.

Yes, that's exactly how I finished in these scenarios too. Fucking nerve wrecking, praying they shoot down targets before the timer runs out.

>>388399149
I've been playing it for the first time and I've been underwhelmed, the game feels like a chore compared to AC4

>>388400764
My one gripe about Zero is that Yuktobania was never mentioned or shown doing anything at all.
We would have to assume they provided support to Osea in terms of supplies and military equipment.

>>388400764
Yeah bugged me to. Maybe they were fighting on a front that Cipher wasn't fighting on?

>>388400764
I feel like Belka just used the Yukes as a proxy to start shit with Osea, since any other country would get steamrolled. Imagine Belka mainpulating a Galm-less Ustio into fighting Osea.

>They all sit behind it and fire machine guns, missing 90% of their shots on a target that is making zero evasive maneuvers
>Fucking Nagase fires a missile which just sails RIGHT PAST THE BOMBER

I just beat the first mission of Fires of Liberation an hour ago, is there anything I need to know about as I play like branching story paths or anything?

>>388404073
6, right? No branching paths at all, and I don't recall any gotcha moments where you are forced to use the same plane for multiple missions like in 5.

I just noticed that Project Wingman is using the same composer who did the music for Vector Thrust. That's interesting.

>>388404073
There are no branching missions paths, but there are "choose your objective" type deals like Zero, except you make your choice during gameplay rather than in the briefing.

>>388404073
SAAM's will wreck all enemy aircraft as long as you can keep them in them in the targeting circle. If the missile misses on the first pass, it will go around for a second try as long as you keep the target in the circle. Enemies can go out of the circle after you fire a missile, just make sure you get them back in the circle within a few seconds.

>>388404227
That sounds awesome.

>>388403469
The E3 mission is the third mission in the game thus you haven't been assigned to the penal squadron yet.

Lots of cool planes, fun combat, entertaining and memorable stories and characters, great music, interesting setting.

>i played it once back in the days on my pirated ps1 and it was shit
The PS2 games are far better than the PS1 games. I played AC2 just recently, and I felt the difference immediately. For one thing, I can actually hit things with guns in the newer games, while it was damn near impossible in AC2.

>>388408248
- over-the-top story/plot
- surprisingly good voice acting
- variety of planes
- longevity (multiple play-throughs w/ different planes, if you're into that sort of thing)
- spectacle (cluster-fuck dogfights, bombing missions, Super Structures, landscape / geography)
- Planes handle differently (this is fucking minor but I love it)
- music is excellent

I want yukikaze planes

>>388393739
I always wondered why Apalis isn't ACX's canon plane.
It's implied to be an Aurelia-developed fighter, really different from the rest of ACX's special planes that are either established superplanes, or Neucom (Forneus and Fregata) or Fenrir (it and Cariburn)-like new developments, it's availible in the very beginning and is pretty mediocre there, and is compatible with the most tuning parts (which is the big new feature in X) so it can compete with late-game planes when you get the parts. Moreover, Xi is about Falco squadron testing these planes, so Aurelia canonically has access to them. It'd be perfect, especially so that Gryphus doesn't become bootleg Moebius.

>>388410069
f-22 wank

I used apalis as my first plane for the whole playthrough, best plane

>>388410857
>f-22 wank
This is the worst, even 2's remake features the F-22 on the cover instead of the old Su-35.

>>388392450
I don't think remakes are necessary. I don't even think a HD collection is in order. The time already passed for that, I'd rather keep my pressure sensitive controls than get a bump in resolution.

>>388411662
Pressure sensitive controls are cancer and kill accuracy.

>>388413798
Yeah but AC3 unified both. HAWX is a good alternative to Ace Combat from a gameplay standpoint alone and that you can mod it as much as you want (the Yukikaze Mod is pretty cool) but the story is worthless which makes the game a chore.

So let me get this straight...

Big ass meteorite hits the planet, all the world gets fucking insane and just hoobidy doobidy full major fuck all wars at each other and somehow cannot go on a single year without having world war like scenario, constant wars to the point there is no nation that doesn't think about wars and all of these wars are just "HURR DURR I WANTS TO ATTACK BECAUSE I FEELS LIKE IT HUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" And all of this to the point that a major governmental change happens to were a large corporation company basically just magically buys the entire worlds and does away nations and replaces the nations with just corporate governance from now on which makes wars no longer a recurrence and nations stop fucking killing each other because there are no more nations but corporations.

Did i miss anything?.......

Earth is more peaceful than strangereal.

>>388414140
War pretty much works the same as wars on Earth. Nations don't go just "Hurr Durr I want war" but in response to other provocations or in Belkas case getting teabagged by Osea after Strangereals WW2.

>And all of this to the point that a major governmental change happens to were a large corporation company basically just magically buys the entire worlds and does away nations and replaces the nations with just corporate governance from now on which makes wars no longer a recurrence and nations stop fucking killing each other because there are no more nations but corporations.
Instead of a war between a shit ton of nations you end up up having two rivaling corporations bickering over supremacy which is arguably even more dangerous since you split the world in basically less factions making actual wars even more devastating.

>>388414140
Funny enough earth in our world is alot more peaceful than strangereal's world but ultra boring as fuck.

You don't have to worry about wars much on earth because everyone is too busy killing themselves.

>>388414140
>>388414553
Isn't there an end to the corporation 1984 brave new world grip on strangereal so that the world get their nations back or is that permanent?

>>388414725
Nope it's permanent

>>388414725
No one knows since earth is peaceful and rapidly advancing into the future with said Corporations leading the technological advancement, the "Corporate War" in AC3 was just a simulation and only existed to murder the shit out of Abyssal Dision in the Electrosphere. There's no reason yet why corporation should be disbanded, since they are responsible for a 20 year long peace.

>tfw knowing they will never make a electrosphere universe ace combat

I think you're misremembering and confusing "unwinnable" with "hard to get an S."
Because you had to be really conservative with your ammo in order to have at least some spare missiles for the fighter jets at the end. Even then, you'd still run out, but with enough gun ammo to carry you through on ace difficulty.

arab refugees

Will the pc version have vr as well? Or is that only ps4?

>>388429093
The VR mode is exclusive to PSVR, so far.

>>388429093
PS4 only.

>>388428395
Soon brother soon.

AWACS will be tortured and murdered eventually I'm sure of it because he is nothing but a loss cause.

>>388395551
He's one of those based pilots you occasionally see, especially in Mecha anime who pilot balls to the wall to such a degree that they're more likely to kill them selves than the enemy is because of their super maneuvers.

Infinity had a crossover, honestly I'd be happy with just getting the Shin skin on the F-5 back.

>>388428601
That mirage only has one stripe

I wonder if the number of stripes relates to what they did to get stuck into that squadron

>>388429378
This, at the very least if you have a 3DS play the remake of 2 on there.

Belka would've won the wars if their superweapons weren't so fragile.
Maybe build a superweapon to protect the superweapon?

Told to accept a gorrillion refugees after taking the brunt if the damage from the meteor. After everyone kept ignoring them about how they couldn't take any people and needed to rebuild, they went full fash and took over the anti-meteor railgun superweapon and took over most of the Usean continent except for North Point (Strangereal Britain).

They were well within their rights to tell the Refugees to fuck off.

>whats the appeals of this series?
>ps1
That's because you need to play the PS2 games (4, 5, Zero) since those are the most memorable of the entire series.

Will i need to play the previous games to understand the new one? Ive never played ace combat but the trailer made me hype

This site has some cool Japanese only shit that got translated.

>>388432171
Trailer seems to be making a lot of references to the PS2 trilogy and it might bank on fan nostalgia if Infinity is anything to go by

They're good games though and you should play them anyway

>>388432171
all the Ace Combat games are mostly disconnected lore wise, only referencing to the other stories
it helps to play the other games in release order, but it doesnt affect it too much

>>388431430
Stay mad ISAF.

>>388432171
The only AC game which truly needs to be played before another is 5 before Zero.

someone please tell me at some point in the story of this game you will start to be respected and actually treated with kindness instead of being treated like a third-class shitbag?

>>388432410
Doesn't this happen in every game?

>>388432410
Yes, by the end of the game even the bitchy AWACS who hates you and your penal squadron for some reason will most likely be sucking your dick as you fly up the space elevator or whatever, happens in most of the games

>>388432728
Bartender's daughter is so shit! She ruined the whole game!

Oh fuck, this thread is making me want to replay AC yet again.
