>>740165617Please tell me he has a buddy wingman called John Seethe.
>>740165617Those japs sure do spell Johnny funny
>>740165617>JaneIs this a trans male
>>740165771No, its pronounced "Yahn"I think he's just Strangereal Dutch
Isn't Jane a girl's name?
>Strangereal ghost of kiev
>AC8 ended being a live service game with a barebones single player campaign PW won so hard it's not even funny
>>740166312Why did she got the mentally ill woman hair?
>>740165771Jane was always just an offshoot of Janus, an ancient male name, "Yahn" or "Yahnus"
these are too donut steele.
>>740165771Probably just one of those situations where a dude has a stereotypical girls name that's technically gender neutral. I had a first sergeant who was named Kelly.
>>740166502>Nothing revealed about the online mode>Nothing revealed about the singleplayer modeGlad to see /v/ is still full of retards
>>740165617Based, I loved this guy in Maverick.
>>740166312Tummy>>740166516Booba
Real fighter pilots are looking forward to this game btw
>>740166312is she supposed to be a hapa or something?
>>740166681theres battlepass and create avatar. probably some gay ass hub too like slime fighter 6
>>740166681The State of Play's reveal was pretty telling. Live service games never have a proper single player mode because that's not their focus.
>>740166870shes a filthy yuke
>>740166918>>740166871
What about Trigger from the last game, though?
>>740166516Mom...
>>740166932You mean uki? As in Ukrainian?
>>740167145>Anon has never played an AC game
>>740165771>>740165846>>740166586>>740166661now THIS is some pure Cope
Surely they got enough budget this time to actually finish the game?
>>740167163Belka. Osea. Erusea. I know all about Strangereal, if that's what you're implying.
>>740167375What was the first game Belka was mentioned in?
>>740165617
erotic
>>740165617So then the beard guy isn't Rex 1?
>>740167524No, he's your wingman
>>740166409close enough, welcome back Io Flemming
>>740167524Rex is the faceless protagonist, you retard.
>>740167596I assume you mean Weapons Officer
I'm gettin AC7 (never played one before). Should I get the season pass for the extra missions or not? I read that they weren't super great.
>>740167649I think he meant the original rex
>>740166661>Kelly>Jane>Jessie>Ash>Dakota>RileyFucking girls keep stealing our names, bros.
>>740167658>Extra missions>werent greatDid you read this on /v/ and believed it? retard
>>740167470I dunno. Distant Thunder?
>>740167658The DLC missions are like a well-animated anime movie next to a long okay-animated series. Relatively short but sweet, don't skip.
>>740167649Anon...Rex (Original) dies while you're flying as his weapons system operatorRex (You) takes over as a fake nigga pretending to be him to keep morale alive for the people fighting on the ground
>>740167735WrongTry again
>>740167493>It's another "We're using the f-35c instead of the f-35a game"
>>740167724No, straight from Steam reviews. I've pretty much never set foot in your thread before today, fucking asshole.>>740167749Thanks for not being an ass.
>>740167658DLC missions is the best ace combat can offer.
>>740167831But the game takes place on the carrier
>>740167667>>740167797Ah, the whole Jan "Rex" shit was only in the EOP trailer. The original just calls him the wings of theve. I don't know where "Jane" comes from, though.
>>740167815The 5th one? Song War or something. What's this got to do with "yuke", anyway?
>>740167882Yeah, I'll bet they'll be REAL considerate of that when we start flying the F-22 off that thing.
>>740167996What are the 2 prominent nations in AC5? Osea and... Yuk_______
>>740168081Anon, I think he's trolling you...
>>740165617>Woke combat
>>740168115Well i'm trolling him by making him play a jester
>>740165617GREAT MORE FUCKING DEI SLOP IN MY JAPANESE GAMES
>>740168115>>740168232I really am just trying to remember stuff from 20 years ago.
>>740166804>Flaglmao, the dudes that have spent 4 years begging for anything that flies from NATO aren't "people" who I will take the opinion of seriously.
>>740168283That's just Nathan Fillion, bro. What's DEI about it?
>>740166312Is she pregnant or just fat?
>>740168350Some say it's a russian pilothttps://x.com/Fighterman_FFRC/status/1844285267890598081
>>740166203Why is this guy a major when everyone else is using naval pay grades?
>>740168535https://archived.moe/k/thread/62683905/?utm_medium=organic&utm_source=yasmartcamera
>>740168587The people on the boat are refugees, guy could be from another branch entireoäly but stuck there due tobthe occupationKinda like Tasha being an airshow pilot who gets caught up in the real war
>>740168062>it's the F-22C Raptor II of AC3
>We can't decide what planes the bad guys should use>Just give them all of themRad
>>740168587Maybe he was originally air force? Makes me wonder if any Strangereal nations have an Army Air Force like the WWII era US instead of a wholly separate air branch.
>>740165617What's with the battle pass and clearly create a character stuff at the end of the trailer? Don't make this into sf6 project aces
>>740169192AC8 is intended to be a live service game, not a traditional AC game.
>>740165617>jane "doe" cope dies in the first trailer>shows up in spooky lighting in the second trailer with eyes conveniently hidden by shadesso obviously he's just tom cruise but other than that, is there gonna be spooky ghost shit going down on the ship or are we just playing as an actual schizo instead of a metaphorical one this time?
>>740166409bros???
>>740169192The online part, separate from the singleplayer.
I ain't going to be fooled again. I know Ace Combat was never good
>>740169040I like to imagine that War on usea is soo common that everyone is running out of planes so they just scrounge up what they can.
>>740169380I like to imagine that the whole planet is an extrapolated version of Eastern Europe and this is why they have constant little wars over who's culture is better.
>>740169313Why do people need another char to be Dijon so bad? People said Torres was gonna be him too when the season pass trailer dropped
>>740165617>>740165680>jane cope (formerly john seethe)
>>740169380(((gründer))) industries has infinite plane printers to keep wars going perpetually.
>no nods to Electrosphere>when it's only like a decade from the events of AC3Big sad. Even AC7 acknowledged General Resource and Neucom.

Yup, I sticknig wit h Prject Wnigman, cant truts Japs for shti.
>>740166067Yes, exclusively so
>>740169652There were GR decals on some equipment in the previous trailer.
>>740169652
>JaneIncredibly based reference.
I hope we get to kill more b*lkans
>>740165846That name would be spelled "Jan", not Jane.
>>740165617>a symbol of hope for the capital of FCU>capital doesn't just mean the government seat of a place, it also means money and resources used to invest in something's startup>General Dynamics logos in the trailer, Neucom already in existence, AC3 on the horizon and companies primed to become more powerful than the Erusean governments>the Wings of Theve isn't a symbol of hope for the guys on the ground, but specifically propaganda made to keep the companies involved in the war making money>the surface level Ghost of Kyiv reference stuff is just to distract from the military industrial complex and war profiteeringon a scale of AWOL to AWWNB how crazy am I
>>740169778>Infinity had pay to skip grinding>8 now has pay to skip grinding and also get exclusive planes
>>740169893I hope we get to spend our goybucks on the Premium Uncut Double Plus Omega Battle Pass presented by Scamco and Pissrael.
>>740169870Oh my god you're OLD
>>740166804No they aren't. I promise, I come from that world. Every pilot I know who plays games only plays MSFS and DCS.
>>740168535>>740168641lmao, pathetic!
A SECOND DRONE HAS HIT THE ELEVATOR
>>740166661Yeah, I still hate my parents for calling me Alice though.
>>740169893I hope we don't. We've had too many Belkan games already. Having "haha it was actually Belka!" again would turn the setting into a joke. 7 was already pushing it pretty fucking hard.
>>740170105Could be worse, they could have named you Sue.
>>740170007Too bad, real people flying real planes in real wars instead of sitting at airbases 24/7 play AC, with proof kek
>>740169647I think that was lore for the live service game that takes place in the real world, though. If 3D plane printers existed in Strangereal, countries wouldn't be using shit tier planes.
>>740169854>>740169864IT'S HABBENING!!!Looking forward to AC9 already
>>7401701803D printers pretty much exist in Strangereal, did you not see the drone factory cutscene in 7?
>>740170105You have to own it like Alice Cooper did.Either that or do like the boy named Sue.
>>740169985>Infinity had pay to skip grindingIt had pay to speed up grinding but no pay to skip. You weren't allowed to skip. The grind was unavoidable.>>740170105tachibana desu
>>740170173No they don't. Most pilots don't even play video games because it doesn't compare to what we experience irl every day.
>>740166572Never seen a young russian woman?
>>740170246Alice Cooper's real name is Vincent
>>740170275Post yourself fighting a real airwar instead of experiencing sitting in an airbase doing nothing unlike the chad who does it while playing AC
rods of god?
>>740170332See, he owned it!
>>740167831Is that the F-35 with VTOL?
>>740166804>>740170173Massively insecure and desperate for validation that you aren't a complete loser for liking this cringe trash kek
>>740169870my dad played a lot of jane's F15
>>740170358They showed a lot for two minutes but they wouldn't put the real final boss in a trailerBut there was one for 7 with a brief few frames of what people figured out was the X-02
>>740170483>still can't post anybody playing dead crap shit in a real airplane let alone in a real war
>>740169625I laff'd
>>740170394That's the B. The C is the CATOBAR one. With the big wings.
>>740170394iirc A is plain jane, B is short take off, and C for carrier is the one with beefy suspension for aircraft carrier catapult launches and landings
>>740165617how come nobody uses nukes in the Ace Combat universe?why's everyone jousting with airplanes?
>>740170681Play zero.
>>740170662You just know that 30 seconds after this, the enemy ace squadron shows up to defend their shit getting attacked and the player immediately regrets bringing the A-10 to a supposed ground attack mission.
>>740170681
>>740170656Ace Combat devs like using the C because it has longer wings and they think the gunpod is cool.
>>740170681you can't be an ifrit
Jane/Jahn Cope isn't dead. He will be the final bossThis is going to be some Metal Gear Solid 2 shit where the idea is to make an ace using another person as the template before they take the next step of sublimating shit into AI
>>740170007>>740170483Are you that one DCSfag who kept making threads shitting on Ace Combat 7?
>>74017079212k is a surprisingly low number of casualties for a for a multi nuke strike.
>>740170871Anon, it should be obvious.
>>740170527Well the Wyvern ALSO wasnt the final boss of 7 so there's that.
>>740170878To be fair it was mostly uninhabited mountains.
>>740170358This is probably the thing that shoots the giant missiles in the trailerThe Terminus Fingers
>>740170804The gunpod is a good idea because if it didn't have it it'd have fucking GUN DELAY as if planes having missile delay wasn't already bad enough.
>>740170358Are those solar panels on the side? Did they really let someone build SOLG 2?
>Ace Combat 8
7 had a nuke launch too you just get in the way and it splashed down off target in an ocean
>>740170101Breaking news! space elevator suffered no damages however a rogue military cargo plane piloted by former yuktobanian prime minister Seryozha Nikanor was hit in the blast.
So we're getting more than just emblems this time right?Right?
>>740171079I'm only playing for the SP so I do not give a shit
>>740168416That's not Tom Cruise?
>>740170785>ImplyingI fly only SAAB planes and F117/CAS planes in these games, it don't make a lick of difference to me.
>>740171130No single-player dlc for you either.
>>740170979What on earth are you talking about? The f-35c needs to mount a gunpod because it has no internal gun, unlike the f-35a (which could in theory also mount the gunpod for some double brrrt). Usually the f-35c flies without the gunpod IRL. No idea what gun delay is.
>>740170998lmao 2OLG
>>740165617The description makes him sound like the ghost of kiev
>>740167471excellent
>>740171079Online multiplayer and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
>>740171172is the A10 not CAS?
>>740165617>give your son a woman’s name >cause he’s literally Mr Cope
>>740166804Didn't he get fired for posting that?
>>740171250>unlike the f-35a (which could in theory also mount the gunpod for some double brrrt)They should add the possibility of having gunpods on all hardpoints, fucking loved the gunpod Stuka and the 12xmg Hurricane in Warthunder.Or a 2x40mm pod setup like the Hurricane MK4
>>740171351online is good if it's not geared towards engagement, FOMO, gambling etc. bandai namco just fucking sucks and it seems project aces are on much shorter leash now.
>>740171437It is, which is why the enemy aces showing up or not makes no difference, as I would still take a CAS or a SAAB either way.
>>740171437Didn't you just love that one AC7 mission where they bait you into selecting the A-10, but then the 2nd half of the mission is about chasing planes against a timer?
>>740171842I remember that but in AC5.
>>740171842No because I never pick attackers ever
>>740171842that was kino
>>740171250The F-22 in AC7 has gun delay where you have to wait a second after pressing shoot for your gun to start firing, because the gun door needs to open. It's really fucking annoying. The F-35 doesn't have that because it uses a pod, but if it was an A and the gun was internal then it would and that'd also be really fucking annoying.I do not like the delay.
>>740169591the people yearn for the electrosphere
>>740171931
>>740171965I think you might actually be imagining the delay and the door thing is just a visual flare.
>>740166409So he's gonna die the same way Chopper did, right?
>>740171931We Metal Slug now.
>>740172113I'm not. Previous games didn't have it, but 7 does.
>>740172207he's in the start of the trailer apparently deciding to fuck off for no reason so he's more like count actually
>GUN>MSL>SPLThey really don't want to try anything new
>>740171079>battlepassesEasy skip from me dawg. When the fuck can I play Zero? I'll preorder that day.
>>740165617I hope we see this beauty again. It'd make sense too.
>>740172398If you look at >>740170662 you can see it's actually gun/missile/special weapon/other special weapon now.I know it's not Project Wingman or Nuclear Option yet but we are making progress. Two specials!
>>740169591Trust the plan
>>740172207Tasha will die and get replaced by Little Bee
>>740166516young demi moore + tiddies10/10 it's peak ;_;
>>740172398it irks me a little that the HUD is identical to 7 other than the dpad part. change the fonts or something a little at least, or raise the contrast so the green doesn't get completely lost whenever you're in the sun or clouds like in 7 (irl HUDs are polarized for a FUCKING REASON)
>>740171551>online is good if it's not geared towards things that became part of games because of online
Dision had been a General Resource pilot for years by the time AC8 takes place so the only way it'd make sense for Noise to be him is if he's acting as an undercover agent sent by GR to sabotage and cause more conflict to allow GR to gain more power.
>>740172524>the SP campaign is just more increasing amounts of drone and automated weaponry getting too out of hand but not quite AC3 yet again>the MP missions are all simulations and AC3 setup instead
If anything I think AC9 will end up being the game that bridges into AC3, not this. It'll probably be just more subtle hints to 3 in this game
>>740172643if you look at something like nightreign you can see what online games can be without kike cancer.
How performance intensive are the new clouds going to be? At a glance this looks like 7 with higher res plane texture quality.
>>740165617i don't really know how to explain it but it feels wrong to have all these first-person cutscenes, they feel out of place somehow
>>740173086125gb of raytraced clouds baby
>>740172923What's so special about AC3?
>>740165617they all gon die
>>740171114I would proudly wear one of a vtuber if they collabed.
>>740173161Maybe because it gives you vibes from Assault Horizon. I will give it a chance because I like that the story will be presented through Rex's eyes.
>>740173213It has a mystique about it because of how off the rails it goes. Its also funny to think they went that crazy in the 3rd installment and every one since has been slowly building back up to it.
>>740173213it's mid but also pretentious core. just like it's main influences NGE and GITS
>>740173342Hmm, maybe I should find a way to play it.
>>740173213Nothing, ignore AC3 schizos
>>740173407If you do make sure you play the english patch of the japanese version. The original english release is a butcher jobhttps://loadwordteam.com/projects/ace-combat-3-electrosphere-a-complete-fan-translation/
>>740173213It's the literal end point of the timeline currently. AC4, and then 7 and now 8 have been hinting at it, while 5, 0 and 6 took a diatribe to focus on butthurt Belkans. That and AC3 is still the biggest AC game ever, it's heavier and a bit more fiendish than later titles but that shit is like a mini-RPG dedication to play through every route and mission by comparison. The only way the series can ever get out of 3's shadow is to effectively surpass it which you won't see easily, and the only reason it's not up there with things like the "Holy Trinity" is because most can't even play it without emulation/burning CDs of the fan translation.
>>740173086No clue, the minimum specs for the game are a 2060 (kind of old at this point) in terms of GPU, 16GB of normal RAMThey've overhauled the system for weather a lot as far as I recall, they had a whole development video on it.
Where's Trigger?
>>740173536>The only reason it's not up thereis because the entire game didn't actually happen and is just a simulationfucking "It was just a dream" tier ending
>>740165680i'm naming my character John Seethe
>>740174279The point is that it "will", we just don't know exactly how. It'd be like if a game was about multiple premonitions before having to settle on one without showing which one plays out.
>>740167471kek
>>740173213pretty much what everybody else who replied to you has saidit's the ultimate sci-fi expression of aerial combat in a near-future cyberpunk age, it blends philosophical themes of transhumanism, egoism, ethics in the digital age and the fusion of machine-consciousness. the plot twist near the end revealing the main character's identity ties into the game's themes flawlessly. the story becomes so unhinged and draws you in so intensely that you wonder why game developers ever bothered chasing realism after this. the development team worked like animals to innovate and develop fresh new ideas and technologies to improve the game in every way compared to its predecessor and it's all wrapped up in a perfect Y2K aesthetic that people today more or less worship it's just the kind of game that was a product of a better, more forward thinking time. pic related - the only mission in the series where you fly a craft in space
I don't think people realize how much of a disaster Katabuchi trying to write something like AC3 would be
>>740173213The flight model feels pretty unique compared to the rest of the series it's heavy for lack of a better word. Still not full sim realism but you really commit to maneuvers. At the extreme end like >>740174675 or when you use an SR-71 as an interceptor you only get on pass at targets before a long long turnaround
>>740174885It would be funny tho.
>>740174258Chilling with his brown tomboy wife.
>>740174675Something interesting to consider: Iwasaki, the director, went to Cavia and worked on Nier... Another game known for having a crazy twist when you do all the endings.The holy trinity is great, but AC3 stands on its own and truly was a product of that time - the beautiful Y2K aesthetic, the animation by Production I.G., a soundtrack that differs entirely from any other title in the series (but in a good way), all in 2 whole discs with 52 missions to deal with.To get a taste of the amazing worldbuilding, check out the subbed mission 00 video if you haven't yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gChHhpPE42Q
Honestly if the MP is as fun as the Infinity revival is I can forgive the monetization if 1. Planes are available later down the free track too 2. They're available for purchase permanently like helldivers warbondsAlso related to the other convo anons are having, having Simon be voiced by Freeza was such a genius move. Despite being an incel chud cuck it still makes him terrifying for the true end. I find it funny how Jaeger is voiced by Keiichi Maebara and they both have an obsession with a Rena.
>>740167471My fuarking hero......
>>740175272>>740174675>Brand director Kazutoki Kono was asked by a fan during an Ace Combat Infinity signing event in 2014 about Electrosphere and a potential remake. Kono explained that the team was too small to support the massive localization that Electrosphere required and, if it were to happen, it would be more difficult than re-releasing Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, and Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War combined.[14]
>>740172241HEAVY MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE
>>740166408Kyiv*
>>740166408There is some interesting commentary to be had on a forced propaganda figure but you just know they're gonna go the lazy route of you, the super special cool and handsome pilot, actually becoming the mythical ace pilot figure they propagandized you as.
>>740175927This is why I think AC9 will be a fake out Remake of AC3. One route, but Nemo will show up at some pointing showing that AC3 still happened.
>>740176306Yeah I want to have forced hallucinations and gameplay segments where I'm punished for playing the game like in Spec Ops: The Line
>>740166409He’s going to get shot down and we assume he’s dead but returns in the Mission 20: Enter Dision
i'm not going to lie, buddies... seeing rex's lifeless body in the cockpit as the plane is sinking underwater in that first reveal trailer gave me a new perspective on the characters within the series, a remorseful perspective
>>740175927I certainly think that'd be that case back in the PS1 days, but the AC3 script isn't THAT big if we compare it to modern sony moviegame slop. Bamco produces Tales titles, for fuck's sake.Two separate teams were able to fantranslate the game! Where things get dicey, that'd be the missions. Making current gen environments for all those 52 is certainly going to be a gargantuan task.I think it'd be just better to have AC9 start with with Simon's purge
>>740175703Your hero dies in like the 2nd mission bro
>>740176652They have their own studio now. I say put them to work they can do it

i just have absolutely no idea why the US is so hellbent on endlessly upgrading F15s instead of upgrading F22s

If Cipher is alive hed be in his 70s now
>>740179416The PS2 games emulate fine. Just go through those 3 starting with 4 then 5 then Zero and then from there you'll have a good enough idea to decide where you want to go. Obviously the PS1 games emulate fine as well, there's recently been an unofficial native PC porty of 6 which is cool and you can either pirate or buy 7 on sale.
>>740179416At this point all the PS2 games emulate well outside of some graphical bugs for AC04 if I recall but they may have been fixed at this point.Start with 04->5->Zero, but if you really want to I guess you could do 2->3(JP w/ Patch)->4, etc6 is being recompiled by some people currently to run on PC natively, and otherwise it's the most buggy game to emulate.
So we're shitting at Ace Combat Infinity now? I thought we're crying when it was shut down and hoping for successor of it come out one day
>>740179554cipher was in his late 20s/early 30s in zero
>>740167145Technically yes depending on perspective
>>740179554>Right before releasing AC9, PA releases a commemorative artwork with elderly Cipher finally meeting elderly Pixy in like, their late 60s at like Christmas or something>tagline: It was a cold, snowy day...
>>740179027Hopefully some of AC3's early mass-production COFFIN jets appear in 8 during the late-game
>>740169778>Cooperating with and competingSo are we getting PvE stuff again? Because PvP in AC is very, very fucking boring.
>>740176570It looks like he's still going to be giving us commentary the whole game from beyond the grave, though. Which is kino.
>>740180674>It looks like he's still going to be giving us commentary the whole game from beyond the graveIt's another Ace Combat Zero where those lines are actually cut from the final boss fight. Ace Combat Zero's trailer also contained dialogue from Pixy's boss fight
>>740178576They really should've copied the cute plane AI by now, it's a lot more fun than gay drone shit and they already did Nemo. Have her get hacked in the last mission so you're forced to shoot down your mave with an old biplane.
>>740178576I watched this for the first time last year. It's so fucking good. Probably my favorite take on an alien race in any sci-fi. I should really get around to checking out the novels at some point.
>>740179794Yes
>>740180882If they bring him back, it better wind up being a sublimated version. It's been too long, I need to go back to the electrosphere for the final dogfight.
I've been playing Infinity lately.I liked the whole remote control ace from infinity. Camilia/Butterfly Master is some 15 year old girl in space playing a video game, she doesn't think she actually killed Flash. She seems to only be showing up to fight you (Reaper)
