>>733592124Branching path storylineIf they're focusing on character interaction then they must have multiple endings, right?
>>733592124Robust multiplayer and full VR support.
>>733592124>wings of sbeve
>>733592124The full plane roster from Infinity.
>>733592124Non-chinese people in the multiplayerI'm not racist but every single the time the host is some chink, and it usually is, there's a fuckton of lag on my end because I'm not anywhere near China
Less annihilation-type missions and more A2A-focused ones.Wingman command, also improve their AIsMore multiplayer and COOP modes.A better plot
higher quality assetsthe visual fidelity in these games is pathetic for how much they are glazed
>>733593758Don't think I've ever heard anyone complain about graphics in an ace combat gamecongratulations

>>733594967thanks for the screenshot to confirm the graphics in the game are shit
>>733595479Nerf QAAMs too.
New super jet that fires a shit tone of missiles
>>733595691Hm? The jets already get tone when firing missiles.
Being able to equip more than one special weapon.
>>733595941I want all the missiles
More over the top high tech superweapons to blow up
>>733595203based
>>733595941i giggled anon
>>733592124Energy based rather than UFO flight modelReal dogfightsDangerous SAMsAt least War Thunder tier radar/targeting pod simulation
>>733595594So go play something else, you twerp.
>>733595479>LACM nerfnow you've crossed a lineI love my little baby nukes
>>733592124>Extremely large mission maps making you go back to base and refuel and rearm>Coffin system planes>Co-op multiplayer with objectives
>>733596625stay triggered its not my job to pretend the graphics arent shit and can't be massively improved faggot
>>733596783Look at yourself before you call anyone else triggered.
>>733596927the graphics in the game are not good faggot
>>733597080What's a plane in flight supposed to look like according to you?
Infinity 2 multiplayer. That's it.
>>733597592like a machine with moving components and different textures which dont have jaggies or other ported ps2 assets to make thrusters that dilate like your quivering faggot asshole
>>733597818Have you actually looked at any military fighter jets, ever?
get rid of progression treequit forcing cloud mechanics
>>733592124FOV slider
>>733592124Sex with Tasha.
>>733592124When I glanced at the thumbnail I thought it was a llama wearing a VTOL backpack.
>>733592124I'd like to see chinese jets.
>>733601110nobody cares about your little toys, chinkoid
>>733601110>chinese jets>they're all just carbon copies of other nations jets but slightly fatter
>>733601228>fighter jet game>nobody cares about fighter jetsAre you retarded?
more score attack missions instead of cinematic meme missionswingman controls like in 5 and 0squadron plane management like in 5branching paths like in 2 and 3
>>733601257so just like every plane ever?
>>733592124>Theve
>>733601853>theve>keve>kyiv
>>733601853theve jets
No black/brown people, woman pilots, preachy anti-war stories, humanism propaganda
>>733601448people care about real jetsnot cheap chink bootlegs
>>733601853>Theve, from Thevethorn, equivalent to burning copse.The Japanese probably thought copse = corpse and went backwards from there, as you steal the identity of a corpse made from a burning plane.
>>733592124>Project Wingman special weapon system>branching paths>customizable planes for wingmen I don't care if they're good, they just need to look nice in formation
>>733602692Well, multiple SPW was all but confirmed...
>>733602128pajeet wingman seems right up your alley
>>733602142is that why this board shills project wingman all the time when they couldn't even get licenses to jets and had to put in bootleg ones? chinese jets are modified russian ones btw
>>733592124Make your altitude a significant risk/reward thing that you have to pay attention to beyond risk of crashing.>missiles at high altitude have longer range and go faster but track worse>planes at high altitude have a higher max speed but turn worse and stall much sooner
>>733602790When did they say that?
Larger scale missions like AC6 where you can only do 2/3 fronts in the mission to enhance replay value
>>733604057At 50 seconds in the announcement trailer, the HUD shows an empty slot under QAAM, and the F-18 in question has 20. F-18 had 10 in 7, so in that case it could be doubled up instead of taking a different second SPW.
>>733592124Enemy aces rather than dronesI already don't like how one of the super weapons they've shown is basically another Arsenal BirdSquadron commandsInfinity's multiplayer- Ring Battle- Naval TDM- planes stats that level up the more you fly them- PvE+P multiplayer game modes in general- RaidsNo fuel system though.
Zero being the pre-order bonus
People actually played Infinity? Lmao
>>733605213
More planesNeucom planesSpace planesLess dronesMore enemy ace squadronsBranching story path/playstyle pathThe OST to be on music streaming services upon game releaseMore NPCs telling me how cool I am or what I didPrevious protags mentioned or ingameI'd say co-op mode but I'm the only one in my circle that likes plane game
>>733595691CFA-44 lets you do a budget Macross cosplay
>>733605271Yes. The multiplayer was probably the best the series had. I don't see it coming back though.
>>733601853Theve nutv
Independent FOV sliders for cockpit and rearview cameras
>>733592124I want the plane tree to be full of megacorp planes and special weapons. It's high time we started seeing that shit again. hell the nightraven just entered development by this time, this should have a ton of new tech.
>no new trailer2027 delay
>>733592124Ground combat.Tanks.On foot missions.I'm not even joking.
>>733592124I want missile tracking to be improved and flares to become an important part of the gameplay. Fights against other jets just don't feel tense with how the game mechanics are now.
China
>>733606253I would like it in a spin-off title
>>733605393No starfighters until 2040
Remove HVAA, SASM, and QAAM.
>>733592124Let us shoot at these tictac glownigger contraptions
>>733592124Get rid of the artificial difficulty timers and make the enemies dangerous instead.
>>733592124Give me Read Ahead Fire back, being able to aim your missiles for a guaranteed kill is so much better than spamming hoping for them to connect, and bring back ACX's god tier AI because AC7 enemies are fucking retarded>>733595479Agreed. Buff the shit out of A-10 and make it THE air to ground plane, it should be able to rape everything on the ground if it has shit speed
>>733603382nobody shills that shit game but the DCSautist that hates AC and does it to troll threads
>>733592124Bring back AC6 features like allied support and landing in captured airfields.Branching story paths depending on gameplay style like Zero, mission selection or at least dialogue.CO-OP multiplayer with reimagined versions of classic missions.More batshit insane superweapons, fuck "realism".Give me a Yukikaze crossover already.
>>733595479This post kills the fake fan >>733606689
co-op would be rad
NATO worship as always
>>733607162based yukikaze appreciator
>>733592124>Ace Combat 4 had Stonehendge - a land based giant super weapon>Ace Combat 5 had SOLG - a space based giant super weapon>Ace Combat 6 had Agayon - a sky based giant super weapon>Ace Combat 7 had Alicorn - a sea based giant super weaponI need 8 to give me an underground burrowing giant super weapon.
>>733608693AC superweapons are mostly heritages for shooting down the Ulysses. An underground borrowing weapon isn't useful against comets, and would make for a very lame boss battle if your weapon is a plane.
>>733608693I think you're forgetting a form of matter.
romance end with sasha
>>733608757that's just Stonehenge. The rest of the WMDs were made because the other faction had WMDs and Belkans loved stirring shit up.Belkans making a burrowing superweapon so they can survive the nuclear explosion is totally possible.It will also allow for more small tunnel fly through fights. Which is arguably the best part of AC
>>733601110I highly doubt China will allow Japan to license their jets and get specs.
>>733592124space missions/mission segments like in AC3 would be cool
>>7336086938's superweapon will probably be a transformeror, perhaps, organic like a kaiju of some sort
>>733608972No, no, no; everything from SOLG to Megalith to Excalibur and Avalon were made to counter the meteor; They just didn't end up completing most them in time, leaving a lot of regions with pristine superweapons and chips on their shoulders.
>>733608693>>733609323it has to be a dragon. St. George and the Dragon motif all over that announce trailer
>>733609420Ulysses was only discovered in 1994, it's in the name. None of the weapons in Zero were developed to counter it.
>>733609713Ace Combat -1 will reveal the Belkins were responsible for diverting Ulysses onto a collision course.
Freedom ain't free. The tree of liberty gots to be watered with the blood of Belkans. It's "Wings of Theve," not "Wings of Steve," y'hear? Praise Jesus.
>>733609713Okay, I was wrong.
>>733592124Co-op and AC6 gameplay
>>733610064but all the Belkans are dead aren't they?
>>733592124Early Neucom, GR and Upeo planesm this is the last big nation vs nation war, they need to sell shit to both side so they can grow bigger than the conflict itself.
I hope there's some original fighter designs in the case of aerospatial factories IRL get butthurt about aircraft copyrights
>>733605393>More NPCs telling me how cool I am or what I didMore NPCs telling me how I suck or that I'm an identity thief just so I can turn their canopys inside out.
>>7336086937's was also a sky weapon though.
>>733604896No, that's retarded logic. The f-18 in the OP only has two types of missiles. We have no confirmation that we can equip more than a single special weapon. Uh oh!
>[RISE ABOVE]We're going to space like in 3 (now in VR)
>>733616978That's just an advanced shocker anonstop reading into stuff too far
>>733616978I still have reservations about the ending. They went through the trouble of making it seem like the princess died when she fell off the platform and the whole cutscene felt like foreshadowing. Part of me still thinks she's dead and replaced by a fake.
>>733592124I've been meaning to get into Ace Combat but the I've played the the first one a few times and it never really clicked with me, do I try again or skip it and feel like a poser tourist faggot?
>>733617367Starting with 4 or 7 is fine, 1 and 2 are pretty basic arcade jet fighter games and 3 is quite different from everything else.
>>733617367Start with AC4 and go through the trilogy of AC4, AC5 and Zero. That is pretty much the starting point for many people.
>>733617367The games may not be for you
>>733617367ace combat didn't really become ace combat until 3 and even then it was the jap exclusive version (for which there is an english patched version now)
>>733592124Sillier superweapons. Cool experimental planes. Su-47.
>>733614890Why would there be an empty slot after guns, missiles, and special weapon, but before flares? You didn't have that slot in prior games, so getting a 2nd special weapon choice in your loadout is the most reasonable guess for what'd go there.
>>733617558>until 3AC2 literally set the guidelines for the rest of the series.
>>733619982It's just how the HUD works this time. It didn't used to show --- for the gun either.
If I like the NES Top Gun game (to this day), chances are good I'll like Ace Combat, right?
>>733622796Fairly sure on lower difficulties where you get unlimited gun ammo it did. Higher difficulties you only had a finite amount of ammo so there was a counter.
>>733622796>It didn't used to show --- for the gun either.Cool humble brag that you've never played on Easy Mode, but that doesn't override your statement being wrong.
>>733623024Ace Combat basically started as a couple Japanese dudes going "what if we made Top Gun a video game?"The writing leans more Metal Gear in the later installments though.
>>733623024You might want to start with 2 on the PS1, but yes.
>>733618572>Sillier superweaponsyou know what?the arsenal bird and the AI drones felt a bit too plausible for my tastethe alicorn was close but yeah, they need to be bit more ridiculous
>>733602142Nobody cares about the names of jets you stupid faggot. They just want something interesting to play around in. See AC3.Bamco is wasting their money sating autistic morons who NEED to see the exact letters and numbers of some plane's model name. Kojima had the right idea with MGSV.
Come to think of it, its strangereal. Earth plane names don't even make sense. The only time it did was Assault Horizon and Infinity which were both in our world.
>>733592124The game needs a B-70 bombing runEvery game ever would be improved with B-70
they need to just remake shattered skies
>>733624142Yeah, no shit. That's why the mouthbreathers who demand real plane names are costing the Japs extra money that could have gone towards literally any other piece of content.We don't have remakes/remasters partly because of licensing bullshit. Emulation saved AC for newer fans.
>>733624142It doesn't, but it's always cool to see real planes in the game. It makes the setting feel more grounded, despite the fictional elements, hence "Strangereal". As the series moves forward, I do hope they use more original aircraft though. Seeing MIG-21s in active duty while you have planes equipped with laser cannons shooting at a giant drone carrier with a space elevator in the background is just bizarre.
>>733626502A MiG-21? So what?
Give me competent allied troops like in AC6
>>733624339Assault Horizon Legacy is a remake of 2. If Bandai Namco really wanted to remake any other game they would have done so already. Ace Combat 3 in particularly is mostly made up of original planes, and the "licensed" ones are so modified that they might as well be called something else.I'm sure the licensing fees aren't cheap or quick to get, but I doubt they're even close to being the biggest reason why Bandai Namco hasn't remastered or remade the other games. The most likely reason is that they simply think there isn't enough demand to justify it.
I don't understand why they don't remove all official licences from the old games and re-release them. They gian absolutely nothing from having real world manufacturers, just replace them with fictional ones.
>>733627524>they gain absolutely nothing from having real world manufacturersdon't take being a migger away from me
>>733592232To late for thatAc already went woke with 4
>>733592124>Ue5It gonna run like ass and look grainy
>>733627524From what I can tell by gleaming the credits, the plane manufacturers give Bamco up-close photography access to make accurate 3D models to put in the game, not just permission to use trademarks. If they licenses were revoked, I'm sure its just not "You can't call it the Fighting Falcon™ anymore," but they'd have to remodel every plane from publicly available photos & open source blueprints. And then be willing to defend their work in court if LM, Boeing, Sukhoi, and so on says the reworked models are too accurate to what a plane is actually like.
>>733627524The planes are part of those games' identity. Why even bother with a re-release if they're going to change a core element like that? If that's the issue they might as well just remake them, or better yet, just add the story mode of the older entries as DLC for the new game.
>>733627907"Defend my work in court? Your honor Chat GPT made the new models for me how is this my fault!?"
>>733592124Lots of motion blur.Low level stuff.Flying through cities.Bad series.
>>733592124Why hasn't anyone made a ROBOTECH videogame? You can combine air and robot action and considering how popular Transformers live action movies WERE, you'd think someone would have done it by now....https://youtu.be/vY-xSjajiA0?si=xfY7RlDpixTFpURi!!!FACT!!!
>>733595479>I want 80% of the mission to be score/time attacks missionsthat's a bit too much, even 4 was like 50%
>>733592232This. No feminism or browns. Also we can stop taking the Russian Air Force seriously now as it no longer exists, and we can stop taking the Chinese Air Force seriously as it never existed in the first place.The next game should just be a bunch of impotent seething Euro countries fielding a few dozen antiquated jets from the 80s and 90s and getting murderhobo'd by the first wave of F-15s. The rest of the game should just be F-22s, F-35s and F-47s running shoot-and-scoot bombing missions on European landmarks and city centers until they surrender to Pax Americana.
They should let us put any weapon we want on each individual pylon a plane has.
>>733592124Make it so it's not just missile city, so the machinegun fuckin matters again.
>>733609707>>733608693a fuckin mountain turtle
>>733633484You're not getting AsswHore 2.
>>733633752Yeah, and remove the airbrake turn BS. It kills any skill involved with getting a proper angle on something. You just airbrake until the nose is facing the target in AC7.
I want them to remove all MIG and Sukhoi planes as they have been disgraced and humiliated to such a degree in Ukraine that I don't even want to be reminded of their pitiful existence anymore.I hope they have an emphasis on drone warfare and not in the shitty AC7 "science fiction autonomous jets" but in the more Ukraine war, huge swarms of cheap crap way that you need special EMP/signal jamming/laser weaponry for to disable.
NO MORE GIMMICK MISSIONS
>>733633484I love it when retards who've never played or even seen Ace Combat game announce themselves so confidently in Ace Combat threads.
>>733638283Oh boy, 20 identical missions in a row
this thread makes realize what V2 is for...
>replay AC7>"that mission" arrivesI hate Long Day so much
>>733638820>Mission 6/v/ is going to be complaining about the difficulty curve of banging pots and pans together in our lifetime
>>733610463>but all the Belkans are dead aren't they?Secrete Belkans
>>733638820Mission 6 and 11 are the best missions. It's basically every attack plane pilot's wet dream.It's the "can I genocide a whole region and wipe every living thing on this place with just my weapons of choice, like machinegun pods and such" missions.
>>733633484bro is never going to get over the failed greenland invasion lmao
>>733610783Wait, someone finally modded a Delphinus into Project Wingman?
>>733595691Ideon shoots lasers my dude.
