>>570240392Thanks buddy
Clouds cast shadows on contrails. Airplanes cast shadows on clouds.
>>570241732Get the feeling in a few years a lot of people will be using PA custom built cloud system?
>>570241732You know, the minimum system req don't really surprise me
>>570242947On the plus side, hopefully the next game wont take so long now that they have a workable pipeline and a bunch of assets made up.
>>570241732Wonder if people are going to use AC8 as a hardware benchmark title in the near future.
>>570241732Well yeah, the game requires raytracing to run now.
>>570243403>THIS IS GAMENo that isn't gameThis is game
>>570244864please tell me this is real and playable
>>570244864I really like the Game.I honestly wouldn't mind a Game variant showing up in 8.But the monkey's paw will curl and it'll be a premium battle pass unlock in season 9-trillion
>>570244864The F-47 that was photographed recently looks very Game-like too...
>>570244864is it me or does this look like Fenrir but ugly?
>>570242230I don't think most games will bother with cloud technology and I very much doubt they need it.
>>570247434I'm a little sus of that image honestly The X-36 is a real but tiny plane. With drones going the way they are someone could have decided to build a full size version of the X-36 for reasons.To me that image they claim was the F-47 looks more like the XFA-24
>>570248292The Fenrir and Game are both coffin planes and canard deltas with canted wingtips (except Fenrir's are canted down and it also has a v-tail) and that's about where the similarities end.I'd like the Fenrir if it didn't have a big penis hanging off the bottom. And maybe if the engine nacelle weren't so fugly.
https://x.com/SuperLouis_64/status/2064729905892364318Wow, that GSh-30-1 audio sounds crisp.
>>570248292>>570248887both are the same XFA series, 33 and 36A are suspiciously close too.
>>570245847Its real but what little I could find say it never got finished. Couldn't find any D/l links for anything you might have some luck if you dig around but after 14 years it might prove very difficult But the buddy that mentioned the F-15 Silent Eagle has more luck as the mod exist for 7https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/2595
Tasha callsign when.
>>570252259Pinky
I believe in the Switch 2 port a year post release
>fi got killed by a raid by the group cynthia deserted for >she's coping over it holy shit, this game's story can get a bit dark
>>570255115Same, or at least, inevitably somewhere down the line.If CPU-challenger Dragon's Dogma II is coming(if ray-traced Indiana Jones and the Supermassive Sphere already works on Switch 2)then it wouldn't be an unreasonable thought.Or maybe it is...? I dunno.
uhhhokay I thought they'd at least pretend to not be the baddies
THE TERMINUS FINGERS
Retard here, is GPU or CPU going to be the main bottleneck for running 8?
>>570257294Depends on your pc????
>>570257294UE5 is way more GPU heavy than CPU, but it depends on the game I supposeboth are important end of the day lol
>>570241153I don't fucking know if we are real. The world feels less real every day
>>570257294It's UE5, it's gonna hammer the fuck out of everything. Minimum requirements are a 5600X, 16GB RAM, RTX 2060, and 125GB of SSD storage space, all of which are not exactly low-end components.
she's jealous of her youthful stride
I am kinda confused on this part of AC3 story thoughDision and the MC are both data, AIs basically right? So how the fuck is Keith talking about going to dinner wtih him and him chasing women or some shit, and how does no one realize the MC isn't real, they have android bodies or some shit? I guess
>>570259740They aren't real nigga, they're all simulations.They aren't actually going out and doing things the way you and I do.The whole thing is fake.
>>570259740Spoilers for the AC3's true ending. Look up the steps if you haven't done it yet. Nemo isn't just an AI, the entire thing is a simulation Simon created to wargame his revenge plot against Dision
>>570261412>>570261472think I read that spoiler already but yeah still a few missions to go until I hopefully unlock the true ending for myself, think I did everything right w the saves etc im still not a fan of this R-103 thing, something's off about it, the turn rates or something, the game is much better, game is GOAT, best jet in the game not as much soul as the humble F-15 though
>>570262527when I do this uhhh, idk plane terms 'yet, when I turn like this in this fuckin level especially the R-103 pulls down, the game or F-15 don't do that, had 0 issues with those in the underground city
I'm in boys
>>570257294It totally depends on optimization, to be honest.With the minimum required rig, it could actually run ok on Ultra at 60 fps, or it could even be a dogshit stutterfest on all minimum and your monitor resolution havled.With UE5 is almost totally decided by the skills of the developement team.
:p
WINGS...of STEVE
kekd
here we go
there's no fucking way that this is the motivation
>>570269523It's high art.
alright having seen the true ending there's one more thing I'm confused about.... no need to spoiler tag since that anon already said its a simulation I guess, I know simon is real, and dision is (was) real, but all of the other characters, and events, literally none of that was real? Or did dision's AI which escaped after being scanned actually start a real corpo war? in the end simon releases nemo into the real world to do his thing, does that mean he did that while dision AI was out there, but hasn't done anything 'yet, and that if his calculations are correct, reality will play out just like the simulation
If Project Aces doesn't fix PSMs being the I Win button and completely remove PSM chaining I'm gonna make V2 look like a joke
>>570270957so apparently bandai made electrosphere the canon for thishttps://ugsf-series.com/en/so technically pic rel takes place in the electrosphere universe, just 1000 years in the futurehuh
>>570271035i've never used a psm, still no idea how to perform them
>>570270305Basically everything up to M1 is real. The events in the game are a simulation of a war between GR and Neucom based on real data.>Or did dision's AI which escaped after being scanned actually start a real corpo war?No. (And even in the simulation, Dision never started the war in the first place. It was Neucom and GR.)>does that mean he did that while dision AI was out there, but hasn't done anything 'yet, and that if his calculations are correct, reality will play out just like the simulationPretty much.
>>570243403I was thinking, why even bother making a new game and renewing all the licenses when they could just make a $60 dlc with the next campaign on it? If something like that is doable, remakes are on the table.
>>570269523>>570270957CongratulationsYou have completed cucked sim 2040 >but all of the other characters,The characters are real people yes we might meet younger versions of them in 8. However the motivations we see them have in the sim aren't real that is just Simon taking a guess of what info he can gather about each person you meet. Along with an XBOX huge bias towards Dison's character.>eventsNo those aren't realKeep in mind Ouroboros exist only in the sim and not in the worldSimon is going to try and set off the corporate war that much we know but that doesn't mean he can or will succeed if he attempts it. With Nemo now out on the net the entire sim means nothing events will unfold in a completely new way
>>570270957Erich Jaeger is a real person outside of the simulation, he's canonically the son of Jaeger (Strider 3) from Ace Combat 7.Side note: Yoko and Simon also work for Schroeder during the events of AC7.
>>570272307>Dision never started the war in the first place. It was Neucom and GRaccording to acepedia he kinda orchestrated it behind the scenes>Sometime before the Corporate War, Dision triggered the Payton Dispute, a dispute between General Resource and Neucom that occurred when an Inter-Continental Ballisic Missile (ICBM) nearly hit the the NC Space Development Base in the Comona Islands, causing Neucom to attack General Resource in retaliation. all in a grand plan to spring ouroborosmaybe its bs cause I remember the corporate shit starting by itself initially, not due to dision in the first incidentslol>However the motivations we see them have in the sim aren't real that is just Simon taking a guessso all we know is that that simon has his simulation sometime after 2030, and dision AI is in fact in the net out in the world world and he has interacted with chars like rena, but nothing beyond that for the main events
>>570271876It didn't take off and they gave up on it a long time ago. But they put a lot of work into it even made a few short animated videos. Even canceled a shump they were making for it. Shame too the player ship looked really cool.
>>570272606I see, haven't played anything beyond 3 'yet just downloaded 4
>>570272695>according to acepedia he kinda orchestrated it behind the scenes>Sometime before the Corporate War, Dision triggered the Payton DisputeCongratulations. Now find where the game itself says this.>so all we know is that that simon has his simulation sometime after 2030, and dision AI is in fact in the net out in the world and he has interacted with chars like rena, but nothing beyond that for the main eventsYup.
>>570272695It is the year 2040 when Simon runs this simWhat the world looks like is realDision is an AI and has been for 10 years now and yes he has interacted with Rena as they were both at GR for years.But everything you see in the game is just the raving rant of a cucked old man.
>>570273305i seedamn, is there a DLC or something which adds the Game to the future games, I guess they're not that far into the future for it, except maybe 7? not the R-103 tho don't even wanna see that shit
>>570273976Outside of Infinity the XFA-36 has not returned yet even 8 is to early for it show up.
>>570273051Make sure you go pick up the HD HUD pack and grab the JP demo for 4 if you want to play a different version of mission 1
>>570274186I heard somewhere that AC8 will actually progress several years before the game is over, maybe there's time for the XFA-36 then.
>>570242230niggas here acting like ac8 is the first ever instance of proper volumetric clouds in a videogame
>>570274186The 36 (Game) wasn't in Infinity, the 33 (Fenrir) was
>>570274970>and grab the JP demo for 4 if you want to play a different version of mission 1I didn't know there was a different version of Sitting Duck.
>>570274970>HD HUD packthanks for the heads up forgot you can download mods basically for these games, emulation has come a long way these days, emus are smart as fuck even let u know if a game needs X setting, I usually don't emulate shit, just now so I can play through AC for tasha uhhh i mean 8
damn the graphics jump from 3 is crazy
>>570278331just making sure, this like wind draft noise when flying on some angles in 4 is normal right? It's not my emu sound bugging and crackling? lol
>>570278661>when flying on some anglesdo you mean when moving the camerayes engine sounds different when you're behind the plane vs in front of it
>>570278331aw man you're making me want to play through 4-5-0 again
>>570278817I mean this kinda audio distortion on some stuff, like the radio herehttps://streamable.com/7v5xr0
>>570279097then i dunno, i never played 4 on the ps2 myself
>>570278331did you select 16:9 from within AC04's menus?
>>570280335ohnopedid that just now thanks
>>570279097sounds fine to me
>>570280489<< Nice kill! >>
>>570279097thats normal audio compression
I like the still image anime type + narration storytelling in 4, it reminds me of world in conflictman fuck erusians
>>570280964idk if anyone played this game in this general but these load screens remind me so much of the style they have in 4 https://youtu.be/oskoWZh1XAg https://youtu.be/ZBP0mJ3XtD4?t=2789pure 00s kino >>570280335>>570280489I'm surprised there's even an option for 16:9 with the 2001 release date, widescreens were rare as fuck I think
>>570274983I think you hear wrong wars in Strangereal tend to last a few months to a year and half at most. Not long drawn out things like in the real world.I don't see it showing up in the game unless its either a DLC plane or its in Online so you can use it in SP too type thing.>>570275292Yeah it was an early version of the game check it out its fun to play.
>>570282645Rare and also expensive not to mention they weren't full HD they were HD ready and limited to 720. Along with outside of a store I only ever saw one person who had one those monster widescreens.
>>570282708there are early missions in 8 that are set in 2030
what's the real world analogy for erusea anyway i guess it'd be fascist italy
>>570283893they're french
>>570283893vaguely european?i always thought usua is basically just strangereal europe, especially now with the FCU being strangereal EU
>>570283893Franco-Italy, kinda.
>>570283612Game starts in 2029 that says Jan 2030 Still with in normal time frame for wars. Even in the sim the game was mentioned to be a new fighter in 2040 that is still 10 years. If we're being generous here then they could have started using them in 2033-2035. War won't last that long the megacorps run the show by then.If it shows up it'll be a DLC plane or its in Online and you can use it in SP but the game will not be in the base game. The most I honestly expect is the various R series plane that showed up in X in the base game and if we're really lucky the R-101 will be in the base game but I'm not expecting the 101 to be in this game desu.
normally dont like bombs but they are super smooth and nice in 4, these sucked ass in 3, god that fuckin nanite mission
>>570286314bombs are great in 4 5 0 6 7
>>570288164The FCU it to poor to afford 4, 6 or 8 AAM
>That's another score. You tryin to prove a point or something?>Start swimming soldier, make it home alive.>You never really ran away, did you?>These skies belong to you Rex. Go take what's yours.Dumb name or not Jan has the most kino lines in the trailers so far. I'm looking forward to him being my schizophrenic vision whispering things into my brain the whole game.
>>570289963I love Cope already, its a great way to make your faceless mute rainman pilot have an internal monologue, and the charming inveterate gambler obsessed with lucky numbers is a great archetype.
>>570289963Out of all the possible options for why Rex hears Jan, I hope it’s either brain damage from almost drowning or the Ace Pilot Replacement Plan (TM) actually being Strangereal MK Ultra.
>>570292243<< THE NUMBERS REX! WHAT DO THEY MEAN! >>
>>570284690There's a bit of mainland Asia in to judging by things like the Yinshi Valley. USEA was an acronym at one point for United States of Euro-Asia after all, which is likely why the USEA in Infinity was situated in Russia and the Middle East.
>>570289963Can't wait for when its starts to go full crazy time like they did in nuBSG with Head Six and Head Baltar
>>570283893Napoleonic France time-lifted to the modern age.>had a monarchy>overthrew it into a republic>YOUNG OFFICERS>ass-whooped when they conquered a bit too far to the northeast>monarchy restored>monarchy bungles shit, starts a war>YOUNG OFFICERS>republic again
