I'm back bitch!
Time to dive into the fireworks
U wan prae good ace combat on modern system? That will be 79.99USD.
We will never be able to have another good Ace Combat thread after that trailer.
Do i need to buy a goystation 5 to get this game or is it on steam?
woke trash simutard shit
>>740106670What?
<< Scared? Afraid? That's just death lurking around. >>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0l1NE0lHw0
>>740106670/v/ shitposting is going to make threads annoying as fuck
>>740106531Wait, did Bamco make the AC0 remaster exclusive to the deluxe edition of AC8?
>>740107214Most of the generic complaints unless the story is crazy awful later on is complaining about there being blacks or anime shit when Keith & 3 exists
>>740107702Just says preorder bonus. I fucking swear if it's a PS5 exclusive the same way AC5 was a PS4 exclusive
>>740108927fucking hell, I'm not buying a PS5 Pro just for a Preorder bonus!
>>740108927There have already been leaks from SteamDB saying that the Zero port is coming to PC, so I'd scratch that.
>>740108927just emuI want ac6 on pc damnit
>>740108357>Keith & 3 existsThe bad faith shitposters don't know that. They don't actually play video games.
>>740107702Yeah, PS5 only though.
>>740108927steam had ace combat zero added to depots few months ago. it's the whole reason people knew this was coming.
>Still no Electrosphere remakeACES, please. If there's any game that needs it, it's 3.
>>740108927>>740109272Looking at the trailer it has the Steam and Xbox logos showing the Zero pre-order bonus, it looks like it'll be multiplat.
>>740108927SteamDB has it.
AC5 being bundled with AC7 was an indication that AC7 was gonna have as dogshit a story as AC5 so hopefully this means AC8 will at least try to be as well written as AC0.
>>740109706awesome! thanks anon. My rage has subsided
>>740109706why do they put a port of an older game as a preorder bonus to a new gameI'll pirate that shit out of spite
Oh shit what did I miss?
>>740108927Playstation trailers always do that. Bamco's trailer has this.
>>7401093723 exists but is so unlike the rest of the series that if you claim all of AC should be like 3, then you must also accept Assault Horizon into canon.
>>740109706>F14 as preorder bonus
>>740110501Chances are you can just cheat it unless they're using some deep anticheat
>>740110372IIRC there were nods to 3 in the first AC8 trailer, I think there was a General Resource or Neucom logo in there somewhere
cant wait to creamapi it
>>740109706>battle passwhat
>>740110667or it's just the A variant and F14D is the normal one you buy in game.
>>740110501It says F-14A, hopefully the F-14D will be a standard plane like it was in 7.
>>740110694It makes sense, we're getting very close to it in the timeline. Wouldn't be surprised if this game is a direct lead-in to 3.
>>740110501It's probably just the A model, the D model will be in game as per usual. IIRC the A was also a DLC plane in 7.
>>740110694It's General Resource, and there's a bunch of theories floating around that Noise is Dision
>>740110021the whole Wings wank and>You're not Wings!and whatever the fuck that female leader thing is makes me think it's going to be even more badly written than AC5, I'm concerned there's 2 plots here being smashed together again
>>740105993based Pixy
>>740109706ok yea that's based
>>740110694nods to 3 are nothing new, acx has neucom planes already including a prototype delphinus, the arguments are about where ace combat should sit on the "metal slug to metal gear" scale of western influenced japanese tacticoolery
>>7401100218 has the same writer as 5 and 7. It ended before it even began.
>>740111820who are they going to kill off next
>>740112379technically Nikanor is still alive
>>740105993Is this game good?
>>740112379Nagase
this was the only part of the snoy event where i soi faced and pointed at the screen
>>740112379they'll have nagase and trigger collide mid air in the intro cinematic. and it'll be like "damn we lost strider one!"
Trailer has a fucking land battleship like Project Wingman did
>nagase returning from space mission>elevator explodes
>>740113276glad they are taking notes of the good things
>>740113276
>>740112860Yo buddy, its good. best game on PS2
>>740113276>>740113909It's Victory Gundam
>>740113901Nagase already returns in AC7
>>740112860Ace Combat hasn't really changed since 4.So if you liked any of them, you'll like 0
Are these remasters or should I just emulate the PS2 version?
>>740114857Nothing suggests 0's remastered so just emu the holy trinity
Daily reminder that Belka did nothing wrong.
>>740114857Looks like it might be a native port, the HUD textures are a lot higher quality than the original.
BAMCO is doing a fucking battlepass. Fucking kikes!
>>740115243I wonder who could be behind this post?
>Preorder our shitty game or the game you actually wanted will forever be unavailable to you on your hardware of choice
>>740109367There was a recomp of it recently? Retard
>>740115286>cosmetics for people, not planeswtf are they doing
The upscaling is gonna butcher the cutscenes. You could already see how it gave Pixy baby smooth skin
>>740115286the years of milking 7 made them think fans love wasting money when people just wanted to support the series. they're so incredibly evil and retaded.
>>740115670huh it's realthanks for the info but fuck you for calling me a retard you faggot
The official website says that all pre-orders will get the AC0 port too. This collector's edition is calling my name. Hate the battle pass though.
>>740116103I still have the collectors edition for AC7, pretty pointless
>>740116103man, I don't know if I wanna rock the Theve logo yet. It would have been cool if it was the Mobius Ribbon, Razgriz, or even Spare Squadron.
>>740116103I want the book but I don't care for the vinyls.
>>740116036It's with love nigger.I hope you have fun, missile streaks are missing but otherwise it just works allegedly.
>>740115286>You can have costumesWonder if this means they'll have a traversable hub world or something
>>740116371I want the vinyls but don't care for the book
>>740116686multiplayer is hub + gameplay sessions
>>740116686The trailer shows customizable player avatars.
>>740116660will fucking do, awww yeaaahcheers man
>>740116686seems to be some hub world with coop and "compete against" missionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN2C0OgZkE8
>>740117428how can any military official look at that bunch and think: "oh yea, those look like people we should trust with a 100 million dollar plane
>>740117618Osea gave aircraft to PRISONERS
>>740116103>20 dollar shipping Fuck you too scamco
>>740117805it was a penal battalion that were sent on suicide missions to see if there's holes in the drone radar; so it's fine
>>740116371same
>>740117618Strangereal canonically has more fighter jets than it has pilots.
>>740118446It's a magical place where planes grow on trees.
>>740119176Belkan 3D printing technology.
>>740105993I never actually played his game, what was in the trailer that showed he was alive?
>>740120639what?
>>740120639Nothing in 8, the trailer was advertising that Zero is gonna be a pre-order bonus.
>>740120821Ah ok that makes sense, thanks.
>>740117618They arent singularities
>season pass slop>in my ace combatthings are THAT bad huh?
>>740113224Nagase, Trigger, and moebius one will all collide mid-air in one big fireball. Then your AWACS will close his eyes and say "Somehow Yellow Squadron returned"
>>7401217857 had a season pass
>>740121918But not a fucking battle pass.
>>740121785>>740121918A battle pass, even worse than a season pass
>>740105993Pixy posting is eternal.
>>740105993>low effort portDon't care.Remaster the trilogy + AC6.
>>740123923
>>7401219187 had mission DLC.This is cosmetic slop.
>>740124248
>>740123923one thing I never understood.Solo Wing Pixy is a generational talented Ace pilot. In the ending, when he agreed to fight for people in border disputes, why would they give him a gun instead of a fucking plane?
>>740125951He wanted to see for himself what it was like to live and fight on the border, rather than just looking down at it from his fighter jet
Zero is the preorder game because Larry will appear in 8
>>740108927It's not, fortunately. It'll be on PC too.
>>740110694It's set in 2029, 11 years before AC3. There should be signs of Neucom and the other megacorps by that time. And this also means that the Night Raven already exists. GenRes' DOE project began development of it one year before AC8, in 2028.On Neucom, it seems that it was founded after the Lighthouse War, when nu-COMM merged with the remnants of the Erusean Air Force. We might see the first Neucom planes in it, maybe even prototype Delphinuses.
>>740127130We had prototype Neucom planes in X already, so hopefully that makes it more likelyForneus, my beloved
>>740116103I bit the bullet too. Probably a big mistake.
>>740110372Ace Combat X was unrelated to AH, it was only given its accursed name in hopes of attracting american sales, but it backfired.
>>740127247>Ace Combat XI meant Ace Combat 3D, ffs. Stupid fat fingers.
>>740110372Assault Horizon takes place in a separate one-off universe, it's not even connected to Joint Assault or Infinity>>740127247You're thinking of Assault Horizon Legacy, not X
>>740127239Fun fact, Project ACES wanted to add KF-21s, J-20s and J-36s to AC8, but both gooks and chinks refused as they're afraid to expose how strong (or weak) their crap really is.
>>740127380>Assault Horizon LegacyIts real name is Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble, but Bamco named it after AH in the west because it came out a month later and the bad taste of it was still fresh.
>>740127580I'm sure you're spouting bullshit because PA obviously don't get access to the specs of the planesit's all about the fuselage
I don't think the voice acting in 8 was as hammy as it could have been.
>>740127843I pulled the planes outta my ass, but the rest of what I said is true. PA really wanted to add gook and chink planes to AC8.
>>740127239is Torres still alive in AC8?
>>740129968Considering the Alicorn was split in half and then exploded with nuclear ordinance on board, probably notThen again, it's kind of a miracle he survived the first timeIf the pve coop is anything like Infinity you can bet your ass we'll be fighting rainbow Alicorns at some point
>>740108927Is this just gonna be essentially an emulated ROM or will it be remastered in any capacity?
>>740105993
>>740106686No publisher, not even one as retarded as Bamco, will do a Playstation exclusive these days. Not even Rockstar had the balls to exclude Xbox.
>>740127130I would give my left nut for proto AC3 planes.Delphinus my beloved. Pure sex.
>it's possible AC3 might get a full-blown remake after 8, if not then after the next project
>>7401243877 literally has a season pass on steam for 24 dollars retard
>>740112379Guarantee Tasha gets an AMRAAM shoved up her twat mid-game
>>740130083when you realize what we're playing, him being put back together as a cyborg would make sense
>>740131260My personal hope is for a fake-out remake where it isn't a simulation and Nemo ends up being a Wingman/Rival.
>>740131359>Sublimated TorresI'm picturing it
>>740131359>Hero Of Cumberth Harbor plays>Boss health bar appears in HUD>Mecha Torres: Belka's Ultimate WeaponPICTURE IT!!!!
>>740130575Back to Twitter, marketer.
>>740131575I was going to remind you that Torres was Erusean but I think if Mecha Torres was on the ballot box and I was Belkan, I would've rigged the election to make him president, sure
>>740131470that's the most logical/fun possibility so I'm guessing it's not what we are getting
>>740105993Buddy posting?
>>740105993Hey B/v/ddy, still alive?
>>740132536We lost all the buddyposters to the sharty shutdown. I rarely see Pixy anymore.
>>740127580why does it matter tho? the dev can just make shit up for the plane stats anywayjust like BF4
>>740127843Chengdu (guys making Chink planes) did send Kono a promo package around the release of AC7, and there are a ton of Chink AC fans so it would make sense, but apparently Chengdu didn't give permission so they won't be adding them.Probably has autism over depicting their planes getting destroyed or shot down.
>>740131470Wingman Nemo could be interesting
>>740105993how old is the FMV actor for our Buddy? It would of been nice to have him cameo for the announcement
RIP my 580
>>740106686Multiplatform, so it'll come out in Steam and Xbox too. No words on Switch, though, although given it probably uses UE5 like AC7, switches would explode if they tried to run it.
>>740134203He's still active, although he's part of a metal band now. He's Sean "Vertigo" Ryan, the singer of Vile a Sin.
>>740105993Took them long enough to make it official. Just need 4 and 5 now.
>>740132642hopefully 0 being released on PC will give us more Buddys
>>740135867Loved 0 a lot. Never could unlock the Falken, though.
>>740131282Battlepass =/= season pass, retard.
>>740131470I actually want Nemo to be the playable character with the game letting you make choices. Playing as an AI that can make choices is cool in a meta sense. Nemo was created under the Pinocchio project for a reason
So what are the odds the online mode has a story that expands into corporate tensions between GR and Neucom pre-AC3? Given we're working as mercenaries, and we already know GR at least has been active behind the scenes with 7's DLCIts been a minute since I looked at AC3's backstory honestly
>>740137165I would say low but it might be coolOperation Katina and AC7's VR mode are canon, and Infinity missions were vaguely framed like a background plot was happening, who knows what they'll do
>>740136110We're not talking about that. You said it your first post here >>740121785 implied that no games prior including 7 did not have a season pass. Nobody is talking about a battle pass.
>>740137165is pixy's laser just a PS2 Eye Toy
Is Skies Restored really THAT big a deal?
>>740138357Not really, but AC7 doesn't have many big mods even though it should we'll see if those redditors/discord users keep their promise and go public with their work once AC8 drops
>>740123923>>740124248>>740124691
>>740125951>give the guy who almost blew up the world his wings backyup, that's smart
>>740138543>Thick Bottom Border
>>740109415>>740108927>PS5 onlywronghttps://youtu.be/5i_W3HDZVLA?t=141
>>7401312609 is 3^2
>>740130382>>740108927The excuse is they can't sell it again because the plane licenses expired, but there's a loophole that they can give the game away for free, which is why it's a pre-order bonus.
>>740105993Are you ready for OYW flashbacks kids?
>>740136110>On one hand it's not on the Switch 2 because Bamco has a mad on against Nintendo>On the other hand it's live service slop.
>battlepass
>>740141007It's fuckin weird really. It's like they saw people trying to asking for Infinity to return so they said "okay get those wankers some pvp and some co-op missions to go with it" and I have to wonder if there's even going to be enough for both parties or if this thing will see like maybe two seasons and then die like Armored Core 6 online updates did after half a year. Unless there were a ton more people placing AC7 multiplayer than I ever imagined, this series absolutely lacks the playerbase to sustain that shit, even years on after Infinity.
so for the "premium pass" in ac8it's basically mostly just for multiplayer, right?
>>740141293seems to be, but planes unlocked in them carry to singleplayer too. so you get that pass and you straight up have the morgan pixy from day one of the campaign.
>>740141293Yeah pretty much since they threw in infinity 2
ah... they finally understand what AC is all about...
>>740141561>Nonzero chance i could get to play as my waifu No way fags
>>740141561She looks like Razor from Assault Horizon.
>>740141561b-but my faceless stoic protag
>>740141761prepare for a facefull
>>740141561It's only for online btw
>>740141934sure man
>>740141934Seems pointless even for online but I guess they want to have a social hub or something.
>>740141934All that effort for an inevitably dead mode. Like, if this was our protagonist in the singleplayer, sure, even if it would be superfluous overall. But this is literally just for social stuff in MP hubs.
>>740141934Why? Online for Ace Combat dies in a month, tops with a token room up on peak hours. It would only make sense for story.
Enough about the wasted MP feature. Squad commands from 5/Zero are back.
>>740142478tell that to bamco suits wanting to sell you pilot cosmetics
>>740142542coolhopefully we'll get dialogue selection like in 5
>>740142478Infinity was live for four years. PA is saying 8's multiplayer is "the biggest on the series."
>>740142284>>740142478It's supposed to be Infinity 2, there's emphasis put on co-op modes as well. So if they keep updating it regularly with missions/bosses/events like they did Infinity it should be fine for a while.
Pixy is a retarded faggot and died in some third world shit hole war because muh borders
CAN WE HAVE ELECTROSPHERE AFTER THIS!?
>>740142698>>740142727Nobody played that so I don't see your point.
>>740105993>Got excited when he appeared>PREORDER ON PS5 TO RECEIVE ACE COMBAT 0Nuke the entire world, humanity must go extinct
>>740142919>Torres in a rebuilt super Alicorn>with 8492nd Squadron air support>led by Solo Wing Pixy>Stonehendge and SOLG are also firing beams and shells at youThe legion of fuck OSEA
>>740144028Bandai hire this man as a scenario writer.
>>740109672Ace Combat 9 is going to be Electrosphere but Nemo is released in the real world.
>>740144028he's gotta be cyborg torres.
>>740142919where does is say that? from what I can see it's available on all platforms.why are you faggots getting exited for 0 anyway? you can emulate it no problem on pcsx2
>>740144258Most people don't do personal emulation. If these were publicly available on any modern platform without licensing being a nightmare, people would hop on that rather than bother with PCSX2. Plus PCSX2 may have fixed the issues but they still got a long time stigma of the games being broken until a couple years ago.
>>740144258Because a native version on PC would be high quality>no problemexcept for the emulator exclusive issues poors cope with because they can't afford an actual ps2.
Are you saying that all of these are just prologue for the Electrosphere timeline?!
>>740144483>Because a native version on PC would be high qualityai upscaled fmvs are considered high quality now?>except for the emulator exclusive issues poors cope with because they can't afford an actual ps2.give me specific examples of those emulator exclusive issues, I've finished the entire ac trilogy on pcsx2 and I haven't had a single issue
>>740142820AC Infinity had at least 3 million players over the years (not concurrently tho)
>>740144713He's full of shit as anyone who says "poors cope" or some variant of it usually is
>>740142919You made me think they somehow brought back Torres for Ace Combat 8.How dare you.
>>740144713Did you notice pixel creep and jitter with 2D assets like hud or text? Any way to fix that, that's been bugging the shit out of me between trying AC4 just now and the Transformers 2004 game the other night.
>>740145201He got cracked in half while riding a nuke while at seaHe's probably the most dead person in the entire franchise except some Electrosphere characters who became the internet
>>740113276UBGL stocks skyrocketing.
>>740145283no, everything is pretty solid and stable for me in AC4 (and every other game for that matter), the only 2d asset that jitter are "SPEED" and "ALT" when i'm speeding up, and "TGT" but I think that's how it's supposed to beATM I'm running PCSX2 v2.7.367 but it's been the same on older versions, BIOS is SCPH-70012.bin, settings in picrel (default graphics API is Vulkan)CPU 7800x3D GPU 7900XTX running under linuxquick google search implies 2d jitter happens due to incorrect cycle rate settings, maybe try playing around with EE cycle rate setting?
>>740109672Anyone who thinks that a remake of 3 is remotely feasible is completely delusional. It would cost more than the FF7 remake to do it half-competently.
>>740147538you think that it would require more than three games to remake AC3? or the budget would need to exceed 3 AAA games worth?speak on that brother, i want to see how your mind works
>>740148638>you think that it would require more than three games to remake AC3? or the budget would need to exceed 3 AAA games worth?Yes.And the reasoning is quite simple, across 3 PS2 titles there's less level variation than AC3 alone. It would cost them 3x what it cost to make AC7 to remake Electrosphere, which means that naturally they'd probably try and stretch it out across multiple releases. Just remove the route choices, and after you've spent 10 years making 3 games, add them back in.I don't think people really understand that a guy can't just go "hey, we should add a geofront it'd be cool" and you can build one in a week with repeating wall textures.
>>740148850As someone that hasn't played AC3, does it really have that many different mission environments? Though honestly I would expect compromises in a theoretical remake like no anime cutscenes. Best anyone would ever get is a theoretical localized remaster and that's not even probable.
>>740111386So, AC3 has 52 missions. AC4 has 18, AC5 has 27, and AC0 has 18. As for level variety, they're not even comparable.
>>740148991i just remember the infamous level were you fly inside a closed hallway also i think there was an stratosphere mission and space?
>>740147538only for retarded modern devs that cant stick to a psx game structure and just update gameplay and graphics
>want to see how much that pre order stuff is>im sure its over 100 usd>cant be sure since I cant choose the US from the bamco store for some reason
I've been away from romhacking and emulation scene for a while. What's the current status of Electrospehere translation and what is the best ps1 emulator with upscaling?I will not touch retroarch or misterfpga.
>>740149963duckstation
>>740149963Pretty sure there are a couple of translations for it these days, I don't know which is better. As for upscaling, don't do that shit. Play at stock resolution with a CRT shader.
>>740149963Full translation, fully playable.Duckstation. Mednafen of course is the most accurate and doesn't have gay slowdown, but Duckstation probably has more features.
>>740149963There's two complete translations but they're more or less the same, it just took the first one seeing the second one happen for them to fix the ingame compendiumGrab the one you find first and have funPersonally I use Duckstation
I'm buying the most expensive edition on steam since they actually gave us AC0 on PC and I want to support ACES
>>740116103I am surprised to see that the collector's edition includes a Steam code. Pretty cool! PC gamers who yearn for physical collector's editions should definitely buy this.
>>740148850damn you crazy man
>>740150078>crt filterLmao fuck off. >>740150072>>740150085>>740150085Thanks broskis.
>>740142919Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, Captain Torres.
>>740144258I've emulated it and played it on real hardware too. PC port is a good excuse to replay it again.
Explain to me why can't I kill the yuke slut.
>>740105993He didn't say that.
>Battle pass in an Ace Combat gameFuck Bamco, man.
>>740151609She's there to have sex with. And then get blown up by the bad guy to annoy you.
>>740151609Heartbreak One was so good, YOU are the sequel
>>740151964>every season bamco releases mission maps based on other AC games (excalibur, hrimfaxi, comona)I might not get actually mad.
>>740105993Is Ace Combat 8 worth pre-ordering just for Ace Combat Zero?
>>740153990Literally just run PCSX2, retard. The remaster isn't going to be any better, they'll DNR the fuck out of the cutscenes and it'll have a bunch of bugs.
>>740153990Considering ACZ emulation is free both in price and bugs, not reallyIt got an AI upscaled HD texture mod a while back, too, which might be what we end up with for this port
>>740153990ac0 in pc means there's a chance someone will crack it
