>Wings of Steve
>>736670373Nice.
They all look so tired.
>>736670584They work for real.
>>73667058410,000 folded Nippon work ethic, you baka gaijin
>dog
>>736670584Unlike tranny hires, nips get actual work done
>>736670234So long as the protag isn't a chick this time, I avoided 7 because I can't stand female protags
>>736672943anon trigger isn't a girl
>>736670234Is this one going to have proper KBM support or is it still going to be shit like 7
Looks shit
>>736672943>I avoided 7 because I can't stand female protagswat
>>736670234last game was of the best games ever made, this looks even better
>>736670234Close enough, welcome back Ace Combat 5
>focusing on everyday life in the carrierWho gives a shit about anything not in a plane
Name my band
>>736673486hi, me, I'm always kind of amazed that they have this big fictional world with all teh areas named and things but the only thing we ever get to see of the world is what happens during the warsI've always wanted to see more of Strangereal, especially day-to-day stuffI get that most anons don't give the slightest shit for this sort of thing but it's a major draw for me and the last time I felt like we really got a sense for the world of an AC game was AC3 having a ton of data logs and things and news broadcasts that happened between missions.
>>736670584kono is always talking on twitter about his overtime
>>736670234the cloud system looks nice, but since its an in-house middleware, I wonder how taxing would it be on top of UE5
>>736670584It's Japan. If you're not working at least 15 hours a day you might as well kill yourself to hide your dishonor
>>736672943You don't play as a girl in AC7, she's just a cutscene character and she pretty much loses importance to the plot after the first few missions
I'm just hoping all these years means they have something more cohesive than AC7's "three separate plots haphazardly staples together" story.
>>736670234>what if we turned our arcade kino into cinematic movie slophere comes the monster hunter wilds of ace combat...
Well that's all good but I got a questions and that questions is CUM HISTORIA
>>736674154you have never played an AC game
>>736672759
>>736672943What's the point of outing yourself as not having even played the game right of the bat?
>>736674154assault horizon was fun
>>736673804You are such a faggot anon.Jesus Christ.You might actually be the condensed, humanized form of AIDS with how much a faggot you are.>I want Slice of Life with my Plane Game!No!That’s retarded!Shut the fuck up, faggot!
>>736672943>didn't play it>no fucking clue what he's talkign about>posts anywaysQuintessential /v/
>>736670234>Skipped over AC6 in the montagesWhy can't they show AC6 footage, does Microsoft own the right all things AC6?
>>736674273trying too hardalso ace combat is a mecha anime game and slice of life is core to the mecha genre
>>736674273feel free to not play it because they already confirmed that we're getting that
>>736674228they've already shown more rendered cutscenes than the entirety of all previous games lol
>>736674273Yeah remember when AC didn't have some slight elements of the team being a team in the previous games with team commands?
>>736672759holy based they still have him>>736672943fucking mouth breathing retard holy shit kill yourself you niggerfaggot
still waiting for AC3 remake.
You planefuckers were a mistake
>>736674305Almost certainly it's the other way around. The video is published by Playstation and AC6 is the only game that's not playable on their platform.Garuda is too much for these faggots
>>736672943You /pol/ chud faggots need to leave this board. At this point, you clearly don't even play video games.
>>736673486I do>>736674413that's a good thingI can't wait to blow shit up with the power of friendship again just like in AC5
>>736674509I like that they're not rushing it but instead pushing the timeline slowly up to AC3 whilst building up all those elements in the background. Like how in the DLC for AC7 you had General Resource mercenaries like Mimic and Scream doing work for the Oseans trying to kill Trigger.I don't think any franchise has ever had an opportunity like Ace Combat does right now where they had a near future game early on and then went back to the past and started building toward that future game naturally.
>>736674641MGS, kinda (at least with 3, peace walker and V)
>>736674641Isn't Jaeger's kid from AC7 also a pilot in 3?
>>736674509I don't think that's going to happen; but I *do* think we're going to get a game set in 2040 at some point- the 'real' Intercorporate War instead of Cohen's simulation.
>>736674713It's not confirmed but it is implied. Simon and his gf worked for Schroeder in AC7 apparently.
>>736670234Doesn't seem there's much revoltionary stuff going on. The new container carrier boss seem fun to bully but I have a feeling the whole aircraft carrier part where you hang out with your nakama will be a pointless pain in the ass.
Idgi.Why would anyone play these little airplane games if they can experience the real deal(and earn money while doing it) by joining the USAF?I mean, there's never been a better time to become a real pilot and serve your country, especially considering the current world affairs.In the way I see it, only a beta high-cortisol incel chud loser would waste this once in a life-time opportunity just to play children's games like "Ace Combat 8: Wings of Thieve" and "DCS World" in their mother's basement.
>>736674839You forgot Project Wingman, frog faggot
>>736674761https://www.4gamer.net/games/369/G036985/20190304062/apparently it's confirmed in this interview, but I don't know if it was ever translated
Is it going to be more droneshit while pointedly trying to avoid AC3 or are we going back in the timeline again?
>>736675008I don't think we've seen nonstop drone combat in the trailers, the most you see are like giant transport aircraft that might be drone piloted.
>>736674839I'm not dying or killing for Israel
they promised 1:1 scale but looking at the footage I'm not sure about that.
>>736674839Kill yourself.
>>736675008i'm pretty sure they have stated previously that this game is building towards AC3
>>736675153Any reason why?
the design of some of these buildings is starting to look a little...electrosphereish...
>>736674823do you think they're going to spoil or tease anything big in some devlog they made for sony bucks?
>>736670234ngl bros, I can't say I care for the first person cutscene stuffthat's the kind of shit that balloons budget and dev time for very little gain
>>736675415they want the cinematic movieslop audience, it's probably going to have slow walk and talks too
>>736675343Not really I just feel like the enemy boats are still too small relative to the plane but it's hard to say, it's definitely improved compared to the previous games at least.. but real scale? I want to see that
>>736675415Yeah.. butthe previous games had expensive cutscenes too. It's just an evolution of this. If you're modelling the characters and mocap them anyway you might well do it in realtime at that point, it'll cut on prerendered movies that bloat the filesize.
>>736675415As long as the MC continues to be a mute asshole, it doesn't bother me that much.
>>736670234I know Project Aces won't spoil it now but I really wanna know if the guitar guy they keep teasing is Dision
>>736674305even the devs haven't played AC6 because no one in japan has an xbox lmao
>>736675415it just looks higher budget AC5. not a fan of 5 personally but it isnt atypical to ace combat.
>>736676069People have been saying he's either Dision or Count but chances are he's just another blond guy. The only thing in common is that they're all in Usea (or at least Count is during AC7)
>>736676135Apparently someone's been trying to make a PC recompilation of AC6 recently. Mostly working except for the cutscenes (like the emulation) but they're working on it.
>>736674839can't suffer the humiliation of 3 F-15s being sunk in seconds by the Ghost of Kuwait
>>736670234OH MY GOD
>>736676189This is the best chance they have to show Dision since AC8 takes place in 2029. 2030 is when his sublimation experiment happens, and human Dision is assassinated along with Yoko.(spoilers for any anons that haven't played AC3 JP yet)
>>736673486Its pilot drama. This will make you feel more part of a crew.
>>736675667Fighter jets are massive. And the scale change only really affects the detailing on the models, not the relative sizes of things(if everything is at 1:10 size then everything is still the same size relative to eachother).An F-15 is as big as small house. It's 20m by 13m, so 260m^2 or 2800 sqft for burger buddies.Your brain keeps trying to contextualise these things as roughly car-sized so everything else looks small in comparison.
>>736676670I don't want to be part of the crew. I want to be an autsitic, silent protag that only exists to down entire armies
>>736670234I'm sure lots of people will complain about the VN-esque walking portions, but I don't mind it. Reminds me of Vanark on PS1, where you had RE-style movement followed by flight missions and so on.On a ng+ they will probably be skippable, too.
>biggest online experience in the seriesoh? bold to say that since infinity exists.
>>736670234It should be called Ace Combat 5-2. It's a good thing, though. AC5 is one of my favorites.
I hope this game is purely single player and doesn't force the multiplayer shit. Spinning in circles simulator was not fun.
>>736670234Another beloved franchise went woke
>>736676670I want to be part of >>736674413 left girl's crew if you know what I mean. The only everyday life I'm interested in are the mating press cutscenes
I have never played an Ace Combat game. What's the gyst? What's the best one to start on?
>>736681159The ps2 trilogy: 4, 5 and Zero.
>>736680309AHHHHHHHHHH
>>736678864God the raptor looks so meaty I love her
>>736670514MREs are gross.
>>736681062tasha sweaty sex after every mission
>>736676246Jesus, how can the cutscenes in that game be so cursed? I'm surprised they even work on original hardware.
>>736680309Imagine if they actually pull it offLike holy shit>>7366811594 or 7
>>736680750They need to at least separate the singleplayer and multiplayer balanceTLS and MPBM in 7 were so bad
>>736681159AC4 was my entry point and it's still my favorite storywise.
>>736674839I don't think the USAF would put a random Chilean guy with poor eyesight in a fighter jet, anon. The best I could aim for is being a mechanic for old F-16s.
>>736680750I think co-op could be fun. It'd be nice to have wingman that actually contribute.
How bad is Assault Horizon?
>>736683127mediocre to pretty badit was bland and generic and dfm sucked all the fun out of the game... it was pretty obvious that bamco was just chasing the CoD bucks
>>736670234>they uses lumenthis will be disaster isn't it?
>lumen mentionedIf this runs well it'll be miracle, I fully expect there to be severe ghosting though
>>736681159Unironically AC6. Good luck with that though
>>736683127Hot dogshit.
>>736683962lumen is ok if they tinker it instead of using default shit. like that robocop game had pretty optimized lumen features.
Is Kobayashi even confirmed to be the composer this time?
>>736684134We'll find out when the game posts the specs.
>>736683693>>736683962I'm cautiously optimistic if only because ace combat doesn't have the same level of detail to content with as other UE5 games do. Missions should run fine, maybe a bit laggy in the cutscenes
>>736682112f22 is pure kino. i hate how the f35 looks.
>>736684184
>>736670584No joke, so many Japanese developers working for publishers who force political correctness look as tired. I'm not saying that having to go through lists of everything they're allowed and not allowed to have as characters in their games is the only thing making them tired and fed up, but I think it helps. That, and having investors and higher-ups breathing down their necks constantly, talking about what's popular and not.Watch several of them quit in a few years, start a new company and try to make a spiritual sequel.
>>736682239I fucking hate her already. I hate Bamco. I hate this game. Give me Nagase or give me death.
>>736684338What's the matter big boy? Too much engine for you?
>>736684423So based on that, it's possible he's pretty much just "guest composing" a theme or two? Sort of how Uematsu made the opening theme and nothing more for FFXIV and a few of its expansions
>>736674273>I want Slice of Life with my Plane Game!i got you bro
>>736684564anon, he's been main composer of basically everything since 4. Why would that not be the case with 8?
>>7366811595 is a great starter. Or 4. If you can't get either of those, then 7 works.
>>736674273SoL moments to wind down from the action is PEAK KINO>Playing guitar while cuddling your tomboy sniper waifu in Metro Exodus Get some FUARKING taste, faget
>>736670234I find these games so boring, it's just the same shit over and over again. It's like a far worse armored core. Am I missing something?
>>736684651Because this is a Bamco game, and as much as I want to I don't trust Bamco. Especially since he's freelance now, doesn't work for Bamco since a few years back.
>>736684801>Am I missing something?Yes, its called a soul.
>>736684801Yes. Have you even tried them? They're the sort of games you have to play to "get". And with several of the installments you won't get what the big deal until you get to the final stage and the game climaxes hard, with all the amazing music and cheesy shit going on. I'm not exactly saying "trust me bro, it gets good after 15 hours" but before those 15 hours you might think "what is even the deal with this poorly written, arcade-y flight game where they keep yapping"
>>736682367>Might actually get to experience plane co-opAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHGHH
>her callsign is tasha because her name is (na)tasha>smart black guy's callsign is professor because he's smarthave they forgotten call signs are almost always stupid embarrassing or ironic things? if someone's name is professor you'd expect them to be fucking stupid. it's not like they didn't know it before.>Cipher is a mute, Pixy is an embarrassing as hell name>Edge is literally an 'ow the edge' joke, Blaze is never explained but easy to guess (shit's on fire yo) and Archer is a fucking joke about the Brothers Grimm fables
>naval carrier squadINJECT ANOTHER INVINCIBLE FLEET REMIX DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINShttps://youtu.be/Wi3_Z2caIYI?si=lJ3iw9vZoy2cLtLP&t=217
>>736672943kek incredible bait, you could only write something like that if you've actually played the game
>>736670234I hope they have a VR component for this like they did for those few missions in AC7
>>736685093>Archer is a fucking joke about the Brothers Grimm fablesHuh?
>>736685220grimm has a brother he talks about a few times, so he's literally half of the brothers grimm (and has a german first name to boot)i don't recall what story the arrow thing is actually referencing but i read it here first so i could have been Trolled Softly
>>736684895>>736684935It's just lock on slop. I played ace combat and DCs, at least DCS is autism kino, but AC is like Forza horizon slop for me.
>>736685093>blaze of fire
>>736673992As soon as I saw that my immediate though was if that can be done dynamically in game? A superweapon firing bust missiles that leave massive holes in the clouds would be kino.
>>736685341Well, maybe a reference to the hunter in Hansel and Gretel.
>>736670234FUCK YOU'RE ACE COMBAT NOT SANTA MONICA DON'T GIVE ME STORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BULLSHIT JUST SIT ME ON THE PLANE AND TELL ME HOW MANY DEAD MOTHERFUCKERS YOU WANT
>>736685201nah, Anon is just american.
>>736685615>DON'T GIVE ME STORY AND ENVIRONMENTAL BULLSHITI really wonder if you people are deliberately ragebaiting or are you actually retarded
>>736685615chill out for fucks sakeyou mfs act like Ace Combat never had a storyfucking AC5 has a shit ton of cutscenes
>>736685714I skipped them all because I'm not a queer>>736685698your mother
>>736685093she's not even had time for anything embarassing to happen to her, she's a refugee from the FCU who probably volunteered because the ship is critically undermanned and they need every pilot they can get. They're pretty clearly throwing anyone who can hold a joystick into the air.
>>736685770And you'll skip these. What's the problem?
>>736685615so you only played AC1 and 2 then? Because every game after that has had story, and even AC2 did but it was only in the briefings
>>736685987hey he could've played the western version of AC3
>>736685779Then she sure as heck shouldn't have a custom painted helmet and livery already. I dunno, maybe I'm too much of an angry burger but the 'colored hair magical girl arrives and is by pure chance super great at the big machine fighting stuff of the setting' just feels too cliche for me.>but AC was always clicheYeah, but not that kind of cliche. One thing the series pretty much always avoided was the 'rando pressed into service is actually a god' thing since pretty much every protag and related character has either no backstory or has been in their respective air force for a while, or in Cipher and Phoenix's case, are rich as fuck mercenaries who do this shit for fun. I could get behind the accidental god stuff, Grimm in AC5 wasn't even fully flight qualified when the base got bombed IIRC, but making it also a quirky dyed hair highschool girl BOTHERS ME.
>>736686215god you miserable fags will complain about anythingjust kill yourself
>>736686326No.
>>736686215as long as she's cute and not an obnoxious cunt, I don't really care
>>736686421inb4 she's twice as obnoxious as huxian and there's no ac5 style yes/no to tell her to shut the fuck up
>>736685093They took this from the last top gun movie. No more stupid callsigns anymore.
>>736686215the golems want their sloppa and you're ruining it
>>736674839>serve your countryEconomic zones aren't countries.
>>736686215her having dyed hair seems to be part of it too. Maybe it's just lighting and I'm wrong, but Tasha's hair looks like it grows out throughout the game because obviously she can't dye it anymore. Right seems to be when you first meet her early on and left seems to be from later in the war
>>736686541
the pink haired girl is going to die isn't she...
>>736686601it's the lighting, the bangs are the exact same length and color and have the exact same overlap on the left and part above the eye on the right
>>736685093>her callsign is tasha because her name is (na)tashaIt's because she reminds everyone of an amazing Yuktobanian hooker named Natasha.>smart black guy's callsign is professor because he's smartIt's because he lectures everyone and acts smart despite having 0 academic credentials(he just read wikipedia a lot before the internet went down in AC7).
>>736686768BROWNIE'D
>>736686775The bangs are the same length because she cuts them, but her natural hair colour grows out more. The pink to blond ratio is definitely higher in the left pic than the right one.
Honestly it just looks like Ace Combat 7 part 2Can we move on to post-AC3 timeline already?
>>736686780>before the internet went down in AC7wait a minute, isn't ac8's whole thing being internet-based propaganda and an ace pilot who doesn't exist
>>736687075They switched over to IPOAC.

>>736687035>speedometer is a circle and map is an oval at 5:4>but if you stretch it to 4:3, the map is a circle but now the speedo is an ovalGOD
>>736687075might be that they haven't managed to get global internet back but country-wide pockets work.
>>736687035ac9 will be an ac3 remake/retelling, alternatively titled 3^2
>>736685923I guess the devs don't want my money then, Fuck them.
>>736672943what a retard HAHA
>>736682239literally a k-pop boy model
>>736687075The game takes place 10 years after the Lighthouse War, they probably got some internet backIn fact I wouldn't be surprised if two particular corporations got all those contracts to put the satellites back in the skyHell we know GR puts satellite weapons up by the time of Electrosphere, you get to blow one up
why does it look 100% like AC7?
>>736687475I wonder if we'll see the Neo United Nations and the establishment of the UPEO in this game too. The EASA who were on Mihaly's plane in AC7 should've collapsed and been privatised before merging with an airline company to form Neucom by this point too.
>>736687475>Neucom needs a dedicated orbital fighter craft to shoot down some satellites>meanwhile, 40 years ago courtesy of Mcdonnel Douglas:Neucom are you even trying?? fucking LOLSent from my General Resource GRT-37 Talkabout

>>736686524>No more stupid callsigns anymore.i'm at least 80% sure they still have stupid callsigns in real life though

>>736687684Considering the IUN blunder that was the entire Lighthouse War (which was immediately followed by the Aurelian war which had zero intervention) I wouldn't be surprised if there was a reshuffleAC7 did a pretty decent job of setting up the fact that Strangereal is ripe for being exploited by megacorps and AI, when you get down to it>>736687748If Strangereal operated on necessity all these games would be BVR snorefestsNeucom built the Sepia to kick ass, as God (Belkan) intended, damn it!

>>736689334PhewI hope everyone else in the thread was pretending too
>>736689395It was never about doing these things for real, you imbecile. It's about the fantasy of doing them without the commitment.
>>736689546You dont need commitment for any of these things.
>>736689395If only there were non-videogame boards for each of these topics specifically
>>736689597>You don't need commitment to fly a jet plane or play an instrument.Okay.
AC7 was bad
>>736674470God i love when people just make up bullshit about games they haven't played.
>>736684485Nagase was way fucking worse.
>>736670234I hope the tune up the physics for this one. Project Wingman and even Airforce Delta Strike has them beat in that regard. I need a real sense of momentum and building energy, not goofy shit nosediving as soon as my speed is one knot below the no-no level.It doesn't have to be a straight up flight sim, but some shit was straight up hokey even in 7. I want to feel like I'm really gliding on air in this one.
>>736686524You're aware that the last top gun movie even went into detail explaining the embarrassing parts of their callsigns? How Hangman got his? Because he always leaves you hanging.
>>736670234>new Ace Combat>look inside>same fucking game they made 10 times before
>>736690398and thank god for that

>>736684606yellow 4 my beloved. best vidya brown girl 25 years later.
>>736690384Not happening, the game (and all physics and balance) have been based around universal high G-turns since AC6 so you'll never have weighty AC3/4 style physics again. Not like they ever really got it right anyway.>starter plane was always an F-4>could never actually make use of its ungodly lead sled characteristics because, as the starter plane, it always had to suck in all aspects

>>736673804Honestly a tank game set in the AC world would be pretty dope and a good way to show strangereal a bit more, doesn't even have to be set during current day.
>>736690540eat shit, I will talk about nagase
>>736690764Yeah, screw flying with the angels, this is where it's at.
>>736690764>Playing as that Emmerian tank that went all the way into the capital and put the gold statue of their legendary king on the barrelWould be great>>736690872Nice
>>736690703to be fair becoming a jet pilot is probably the fastest way to becoming an astronaut
>>736685108https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBWjTER1nAIFor me, it's still Sound Embrace. Those fucking STRINGS, man. I don't think a song in a video game has ever made me feel as patriotic as this one.
>>736690912>I hate war>but I really want to become an astronaut so I'm cool with killing hundreds of people in war to get there>but I'll still yap in your ear constantly about how war badNice morals there, Nagase.
>>736691283>kill hundreds of people in war>years later, save millions when you blow up a second asteroidbig brain moves
>>736691346Nagase can blow this
>>736690398The distance between games and the scarcity of any real competition in the arcade flight combat style of games helps to make the titles remain novel.
>>736673804There's nothing interesting about non future strangereal besides war and superweapons. You're just asking for the focus of the game to be about something other than what it is. If you don't care about flight combat and want to hear about tax policies or sports events then you're better off playing another game
>still no confirmation about a pve mode other than story that we can blow hundreds of hours onHold be bros.
>>736691675This.
>>736682328At least with the recompilation the goal is just to do what they did with Sonic Unleashed and literally make it so the code translates to PC directly from Xbox. Once it works it'll basically just be a native PC port of AC6, completely moddable too.
All this shit about SKIES BLUE AAAAH ORBITAL LIFT THE SPAAAAAACE IS FREEE from AC7 was for nothing.
>>736673804AC04 and AC6 kinda gave you that as well.
>>736691696I BELIEVE
>>736691696fr it needs something like project wingman's conquest mode, there's only so many times you can redo the missions without it feeling stale, and the online is broken unbalanced and unfun.
>>736690654What is ac7 being compared to?
>>736684651>>736684812Meh, Kobayashi composed a lot of the big themes for AC7 but hardly all of them. Hell, a lot of the really good ones weren't even his and went off in unique directions too.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onv6lavhkyAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mygq0AjrWLQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIIIHmEAdEI

Finally get to dust off my hotas again.
>>736690398name ONE just ONE game that ever survived changing its core formula and didn't get considered an absolute shit by the fanbase, if not killing the franchise out right. JUST ONE.
>>736690398Really? Awesome.
>>736673486ThisWe have to stop pandering to wmen and nogs. Ace Combat is a game about a mythica ace pilot with aura. He shoots down Russians, bombs Chinks ships, and mogs every enemy he faces. It is amused he gets all the bitches and is a giga chad in his off time, we don't need to see that. Also, he is 100% European white.
>>736692002you know I've been thinking something similar lately. Kobayashi's great, don't get me wrong, but the further we got from the 2000s and the older wars, the more I feel like we need a musical evolution too. AC3's OST is outstanding and I just can't see Kobayashi composing something that feels the way AC3's OST makes me feel..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yHh5a6O59khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMVCOcMitOQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnWf_K84iF4

>>736692808Lost Kingdom my beloved
>>736692395Uhhh, Warcraft 3 shifting away from pure RTS to a weird semi-RPG with hero focus maybe counts? And then World of Warcraft completely dropped the RTS element for a pure RPG and was even more successful. NFS changed the way it plays like every third game and they were all beloved and massively successful up until the mid 2010s when they started being shit(not because they changed the formula but because they just made bad games). Also Legend of Zelda I guess? They change the core gameplay every game but I'm not into Nintendoshit.
>>736692808>Two-Pronged StrategyNo wonder that song felt like straight out of ac3 (to me at least)

>>736693024pretty much every nintendo-produced game will always sell gangbusters because of nostalgia, unless the console is too shit to sell (like the Wii U)
>>736687035>play 3's ENG TL>expect to finally understand the plot>end up getting more confusedI'm glad the translation exists but I kinda understand why they've gutted the plot for the US release
>>736692808Some of them are. I don't think Koji Nakagawa or Kanako Kakino worked on 7. Some of the new guys who joined like Yusuke Yamauchi with the Anchorhead Raid are really good though, especially because that dude came out of the pachinko mines and dropped that masterpiece
>>736687257NahAt the end of ace combat 8 the 8 will be cut in half, creating a 3, starting the AC3 timelineOr maybe something something NEMO will be mentioned
>>736693082Unless they give us a WSO no they didn't. AC7 already had a lot of pretty girls though, Huxian a best, she beats the shit out of people who betray you and doesn't afraid of anything

>>736690398>>736693024It's an arcade game about flying jets.You can't do anything here except making it more realistic sim-lite or full sim.WC3 was still a full rts.
>>736693532I really, really hope we get some ACX planes in thisThe timeline is finally caught up, and further ahead
>>736693559Well, you can also make it even more gamey.One thing I kind of think would be cool would be introducing special maneuvers outside of High-G Turns (like flips/barrel rolls in the style of a banshee from Halo but at higher speed), but that requires downright scifi shit.
>>736674252>literally states they avoided the game>"you didnt play the game?"
>>736693813May I interest you in DMC?https://store.steampowered.com/app/3639060/DELIVERY_MUST_COMPLETE/
>>736690392The cast literally chose their own callsigns, in hangman's case he was written in and somehow btfo's the rest except bob. Only those two actors actually managed something
>>736693919I've already seen that one, but there's no demo so...
>>736676035You're not only mute this time, you're also schizophrenic
>>736685093aren't they meant to be like a propaganda squadron? if that's one of the whole major plot points it would make some sense in-universe for them to have more serious callsigns
>>736683009Co-op missions would be nice. The 'destroy targets and achieve X minimum score' missions would be perfect for that.or better yet, an Unreal Tournament-ish mission where some players must attack a base and the others must defend it
>>736673486This, this is a bad sign. Moving away from talking heads has NEVER been a good thing, Starcraft 2 and Homeworld 3 should show that. There is a lot to be said for letting the player's imagination work, or even the character being represented by their vehicle. First person on-foot scenes will eat up a tonne of budget:>mocap actors>facial mocap>high fidelity models>high fidelity animations>directing the scenes>a whole lot more complexityvs>show a static image of the character on screen>play his voice lineWhy? It probably will end up easily eating up a double digit percentage of the budget of the game just for those scenes, while adding very little to the game.
>>736682228your gross
>>736690398>mfw the combat plane game series is still about flying combat planes
>>736694113>or better yet, an Unreal Tournament-ish mission where some players must attack a base and the others must defend itmy kamikaze spirit is rising
>>736692937Kino opinion. Shame /v/ never played 6
>>736693114Play through all routes, get the final 'ending' scene and then it will all make sense. Literally, everything since the moment you started up your profile.
>>736675008Boy your gonna be pissed since its drones from here on out
>>736694258I emulated 6 (cutscenes played fine but sounded like they'd been recorded in a large bathroom down a long hallway) but a long time passed between me playing mission 1 and playing the rest so I ended up playing like 90% of the game not knowing how the whole allied assault thing worked. Still had a good time, but even though it did feel more like an active war, there were one or two missions were I felt like all I was doing was making a beeline between two sides of the map because the AI would just die without me.
>>736690893>Playing as that Emmerian tank that went all the way into the capital Didn't they literally go AWOL and faced exactly zero combat just so they could go rob a bank?Sounds incredbily boring.
>>736691283True, literally the only reason Ulysses 2.0 didn't happen was cause Nagase went to space after AC5.
>>736693919HOLY FUCKING KINO
>>736694449>kelly's heroes but in strangerealI would play that
>>736687909KINO

>>736694478CUTE and looking a lot like her sister there
>>736693919oh hey this looks coo->roguelike
>>736694449Robbing a bank sounds the opposite of boring in a world where rank and file cops bring anti-materiel rifles to work (on their way to their daughter's birthday party).
>>736694434Yeah, no other AC game has even tried to do the same war scale as 6. Each mission bieng composed of several operations you could complete at your discretion is the most fun I've had in a AC campaign. Shame they abandoned that in 7
Are they doing Comona again? That big boxy building definitely feels like the NASA Vehicle Assembly Building which means rockets.
>>736694851A lot of people still don't know that you can land on the Merigold mid-mission and resupply once you complete their Operation
Here's you're AC3 clonehttps://store.steampowered.com/app/4573470/Supermaneuver/
>>736694851>>736694258>>736692937fuck it, I'm asking a friend to lend me his xbox tomorrowcan't keep sleeping on 6 for this long
>>736694985xenia works
>>736695093did they fixed the triangles and the cutscenes?
>>736694936You could do that in a few missions, like the one where you liberate an airfield. If you do it first it allows to land a resupply mid mission.
ace combat fans literally only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
>>736694936Same for Liberation of Gracemeria. If you choose to recapture the airport you can land there and resupply during the rest of the mission
>>736695130Triangles, yes, cutscenes no, not yet.
>>736694985Do it.The Aigaion fight is Arsenal Bird but infintiely better
>>736695130Not the cutscenes but the triangles are fixed if I recall.Someone is attempting a recompilation similar to Sonic Unleashed recompiled though, so it might come to PC soon.
>>736672943rocksolid type of post if Im being honest
>>736684338>>736682112I hope we get the upgraded version with the new stealth tanks and targeting pods. Also don't be rude to Fat Amy.
>>736695324
>>736695163I dunno if this was cooler or if LEAVING ATMOSPHERE was cooler
>>736695395Nobody wants to play as a woman in games outside of mentally ill faggots.
i legitimately don't understand why people rate AC6 so high, i can't even remember any notable missions except the aigaion but that's litteraly 1 (one) mission, 7 was better in every way and the nuke button on 6 was beyond fucking broken.
I have to wonder how much they are hiding. There is a reason we are starting on a rundown carrier along with starting with rundown planes. I imagine that being the standard for maybe the first quarter but then more and more AC3 stuff will likely start to come in.
>>7366956706 had more gameplay elements like Operations Areas and Combined Attack/Defense. Secondly most missions where contained in on themselves and didn't have some story beat cutscene very mission like 7 does. If you're on a majority Air-to-Ground mission, you're not going to get jumped an Air-to-Air encounter while flying your A-10.
>>736695728Seems to be a lot of islandhopping st first. Maybe we'll get to see Megafloat 0.5.
>>736695670Operations were cool.
>>736695618God, I fucking wish
>>736695670It wasn't about *that* mission. It was the xboxhuge open levels where you had different missions objectives you could fill in any order you wanted, and gaining the OP wingmen as reward for completing them. Is it the most memorable AC in terms of story or themes? Aside from memes, no. But if I want to replay one AC game casually for a few hours, AC6 will always be my go to.
>>736695670>i can't even remember any notable missions>Liberation of Gracemeria>Weapons of Mass Destruction>Gracemeria Patrol>Ragno Fortressyou're retarded
>>736690398and?
>>736695670they dont
>>736693559Idk about that. There's lots to do within the arcade flight shooting genre without making it more realistic. You can take the Battlestations approach and let players switch between different wings within the same battle instead of having insane ammo counts. That way once you drop your payload you just switch to the next squadron and the squadron you were just controlling heads back to the carrier to rearm. Air Conflicts Pacific Carriers did something like this too but with individual planes instead of squadrons.House of the Dying Sun does this as well but IN SPACE!Classic Space sims like Tie Fighter or Freespace (2) are also very unrealistic in terms of flight physics but change up the formula by giving you a ton of control over targetting, wingman commands, and ship systems. While you're still flying in a very simple arcadey model you have a full keyboard(+multiple modifiers) worth of commands for issuing commands, changing energy settings, setting repair priorities, and targetting(including things like target my target's target which is surprisingly useful in escort missions).I'm not saying Ace Combat should do any of these things btw.>>736694738Isn't the endurance based on the Eh? SEX! class?
>>736670234>12/15 minutes into a base destruction mission.>Get too fancy with the flying and crash, forcing a restart from the very beginning.How do you make this staple not be a massive snooze fest?
>>736696740maybe you should be more careful. you know what's at stake, so fly better.
>>736696446those were nothing special, nukes introduction was cool but that's it.Final mission was particularly shit as well.
>>736693243there's this chick on the left with the red cup, hanging out with professor, (You), and who i think is the guy that was with you on the lifeboat in the reveal trailerthere's a chance
>>736696740The return line should act as a checkpoint which snap shots your score.
>>736695670Operations were fun and gave it magnitudes more replayability.Also the missions were pretty good overall. Certainly better than anything in 7 outside of the DLC by a mile
>>736696729>Classic Space sims like Tie Fighter or Freespace (2) are also very unrealistic in terms of flight physics but change up the formula by giving you a ton of control over targetting, wingman commands, and ship systems. While you're still flying in a very simple arcadey model you have a full keyboard(+multiple modifiers) worth of commands for issuing commands, changing energy settings, setting repair priorities, and targetting(including things like target my target's target which is surprisingly useful in escort missions)AC will never by this complex. Tie Fighter and Freespace were designed for joysticks and PC audience during space sim golden. There were japanese PS2 flying games with better physics and details too. Most people don't even use expert control scheme because it is hard.

>>736697818>I'm just saying there's a lot more design space within the arcade flight shooting game genre than you might think.I was ahead of your thinking but didn't mention it. They can do dynamic campaign full VN Owlcat style game Airforce Delta Strike +AC3 on steroids with routes, choices, companions, secret bossfights with deeper game mechanics and physics but this will never happen (fitting more to Armored Core type of games desu).
Bros, which breed is better?Of course I've heard that Belkan Shepherds are ok but they tend to not live very long.What about Anean Huskies? or a Leasath Fila?
>>736698167what'll they steal next, next-gen fish AI in the part where you crash into the water?
>>736698461Can't go wrong with an Osean Retriever.
>>736698192No, the only reason to play Ace Combat with a flight stick is for immersion which can be fun but is far from optimal. In AC you're constantly moving the stick from full deflection in one direction to another which is much faster with a gamepad and you don't need the accuracy or smooth movement from a proper flight stick.The slight exception to this is if you have an F-16 style force sensing flight stick that has basically zero travel but those are super niche and expensive.
>>736698609Oh right, the breed the Erusean princess had. Very easy to train apparently, they wont move unless you tell them to!
I can't wait for the soundtrack bros, is Keiki Kobayashi working on it?

>>736698853>realisticThe whole "Prisoners given multi-million dollar airplanes" bit didn't ruin that for you?
>>736674839You have to go to USAFA to be a real pilot. They don't take any enlisted joes
>>736698853>Even early morning anime is more realistic than AC7 slop.Damn bro what gave it away? Was it the giant space elevator, or the drone carrier with mystery shields, or one guy destroying a whole airforce?
>>736699416No. Airplanes are like tanks in ACverse.
>>736674839Not everyone is American, or born to a country that has a sizeable air force.Getting into office school is not easy.You have to be in perfect physical health to even quality for being a pilot.Maybe the top 10% get to be fighter pilots, everyone else flies lame planes.Fighter pilots are some of the finest men that a country can find. Everyone talks about how planes are expensive, but in reality the pilot is by far the most expensive and valuable component. It takes a decade to make an experience fighter pilot, if not more.The only thing above flying a fighter jet is being an astronaut.
>>736674305sonyfags can't dance with the angels
>>736691820They should get the cutscenes off of youtube and slap them in as MP4s
>>736699970>Was it the giant space elevator, or the drone carrier with mystery shieldsSF elements>or one guy destroying a whole airforceLudo kino. Planes don't have 100+ missiles payloads but every mission can be grounded to reality.
>>736699416It is implied that planes are really cheap to make in Strangereal. Probably because they are mass produced in huge numbers since there's always a way going on.
>>736685698I've noticed in lots of actual vidya threads (not gacha/porn/FOTMshilling) niggers like that one that just immediately start shitposting about the most basic thing they can to get (you)s and shit up the thread.

>>736684895holy shit
Ace Combat threads used to be special I'm disappointed about the riff raff that join the conversation about this game now. Really it's like that all over 4chan
>>736703847Show me posts you didn't like. I can help you,
>>736670234My first game was 7 a couple years ago, and I recently played through the PS2 trilogy for the first time.Considering mission variety and structure, character's, story, engaging gameplay (like enemy intelligence/difficulty, though I didn't rate the older too harshly on this obviously) 5>0=7>4 is my opinion thus far. 5 had the greatest diversity of mission types and I liked pretty much all the characters. Loved the all chuuni shit of 0 juxtaposed by it's general atmosphere. Pretty much only liked the story of 4 because the missions aside from being engaged by Stonehenge were really repetitive, just way too many score attack missions, though I did like how often they'd throw in some shit at the tail end of a mission that made you lock in with whatever resources you had left by then. Gonna play 3 soon, thank you for reading my blog.
>>736704108I beat Ace Combat 3 (the butchered version, though I didn't know it at the time) when I was about ten years old. I loved it, even though it was missing the story bits, it still managed to charm me. Years later, after I got my PS2, I had completely forgotten about the franchise until I saw AC Zero, and holy shit, that was awesome. I remember seeing the icy mountains in the first mission and thinking to myself how good the game looked. The story, the soundtrack, and the twist were all incredibly memorable.Since then, I’ve played 7 and went back to finish 4 and 5 a couple of years ago. Zero is still my favorite, but 5 is a close second.
>>736704749Also, there's no way you can't get hype with this song. https://youtu.be/8XH25Eis8XU?list=RD8XH25Eis8XU&t=78One of the best intro stage songs ever
>>7367041080>4>6 gameplay>7>>>>>5>6 story if you ask mei hated everyone in 5 except the dog, the mission "variety" was just a bunch of gimmicky bullshit that are just pains in the ass on replay. the fact that 5's story director is also directing 8 gives me little hope on that front.i loved 4's understated storytelling and almost pure gameplay focus.

>>736689306That's what I was thinking too. the game can be as shit as it wants, but goddamn Keiki Kobayashi still knows his way around banger OSTs
>>736674121In that case I might buy it again on sale, I refunded it already

One thing I really hope is that Multiplayer is more like Infinity. I miss those big fleet battles or superweapon raids. At least give us something other than TDMThere also better be Idol planes besides mods
