Todays Plane introSuper Bughttps://nitter.net/AceCombatGames/status/2080125749462216877https://nitter.net/PROJECT_ACES/status/2080125754650554511>On both EN & JP twitters you see people posting the F-18I and asking where are my megacorp planes at PA?Always a nice feeling to see other people wanting AC3 planes in 8
>>574988435I don't want AC3 planes, I want ACX planes
>>574990653I want those as well along with 3's versions of real world planesBut don't you want to fly an F-18I into battle against the landship or the airships while sporting a GR or UPEO logo + livery?
>>574991340NoAC3 version of real life jets looked stupid
>>574991883No they aren't they have that perfect late 90's cyberpunk vibe. 3's style of building have already shown up in 8 we are returning to itDesu I could see PA going for an option to give people what they want and keep the planetism at full force. For 9 I expect it from start for 8 if it isn't in as a clear the game unlock I could see it as an update added later. That being an option to switch to COFFIN or keep a normal cockpit while just like the drop tank it is nothing more than a cosmetic addition.
Ended up getting AC 22 as it looks like it'll never go on sale.It comes with both EN & JP roms as you can't change the voices you get both. Does offer gyro or button controls but flight mode is locked to novice. Up side however is F-14 mobility is crazy like I could keep up with the Geopelia.21 missiles and 90,000 bullets.Unlike Air Combat the wings on the F-14 do fold as do the wings on your HUD model which is a simple but nice touch.
>>574990653please look forward to battle pass season 2 featuring the fenrir
>>574997727I have a feeling that is what will happen for Superplanes. Normal planes might escape that fate and are in the base game however.
Su-57... is dead?
>>575000518??Did one get blown out of the sky this time? Instead of being destroyed on the ground like the last one.
>>575000518i dont get it but good anyways
>>575000936>>575001052>https://www.kyivpost.com/post/80905Granted I expect propaganda from a site named "Kyiv post", but still...
>>575001217eh seems believable, things crash all the time. It would be less reasonable if they straight up claimed it was shot down.
>>575001217That sounds 100% truthful F-22's have crashed F-35's have crashed and we have a fully working and capable maintenance program. While in the last few years we have seen several Russian plane crash a few Su-30's come to mind something about the O2 system killing the pilots I think it was. Su-25's crashing shortly after take offShoddy, poor, or lack of maintenance is a death blow to a plane and no one can escape that fact.>Sees linked storyOh they deleted another Tu-95 on the ground>AC 4 vibes man, feels good
>>575002097>>575003336Do we have any concrete estimations of how many they have? They're probably not building more
>>575004020What Tu-95's?They were built between 1952-1993 they made less than 500 of them. By 2020 they had around 55 leftDoing a bit of guess work going from the ones that have been destroyed and how many of those 55 actually worked in the first place and aren't just for show I'm going to take a guess they have maybe 10-12 left in operation at best.Su-57?Not counting the test units less than 20 scratch off the 3 that has been destroyed 17 or less left.
>>575005278I was talking about the SU-57. I hope at least a couple survive for the museums and/or airshows...
>>575005386Russian museums seem to be more park them outside and just leave it. Like where one is parked along side the Su-47. The only way one of those planes will survive the ages is if some museum or collector in the west buys ones. Otherwise they will not survive this century.
It felt good to finish mission 1 of my first run with a quick joust.
https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2026/07/22/xbox-backward-compatibility-on-pc/3 games I don't care about but look what else is in pile Crimson SkyComes with some of the normal emu features 4x resolution upscaling, VSync support, Fullscreen and Windowed display modes, anisotropic filtering, enhanced anti-aliasing
>>575027626Blinx is pretty good
Only a bit more than two months of waiting buddies, we will survive!
>>575032519Not long to go, at least I got a new game I was looking forward to today which will make the wait go by faster.
>>575036817Anon…. Please don’t tell me you’re playing the Halo Remake….
>>575049206Nope
>>574988435https://x.com/PROJECT_ACES/status/2080488152225960085Legacy Bug now.How long until they run out of previously shown aircraft?
>>575053096what the fuck the black widow and the grey ghost were the same plane this whole time???
>>575000518https://x.com/i/status/2080304032980389974
>literally cant quit the bullshit 8492nd mission without fucking turning off your ps2are you fucking kidding me
>>575065730nevermind i managed to escape second tryi brought the a10 because i forgot about this shit
gn
>>575065975another nugget gets tricked by the memeplane brick
>>575066070>nuggetfuck you nigger im trying to level every plane to get the adf
>>575066114then you should already know about this jumpscare mission?????
>>575067704reread the spoiler in my second post please
>>575067704but also i didn't expect that you'd literally not be able to go back to even before the fortress mission without just straight up turning off the console
i have no clue why people say 4 is their favouriteany buddies wanna chip in?
>>575069368no one?
>>575069368>>575071160It's my favourite, closely followed by zero. What stands out to me is how coherent and beautiful the whole game is. Everything fits together in the narrative, the asteroid crisis, Stonehenge being built, it being used to dominate usea, the grounded scifi setting. The way Stonehenge shows up in the briefings and later the gameplay. The Presentation, worldbuilding, atmosphere and story are all perfectly integrated, no other game comes even close, 3 maybe but not quite in the same way. The story is also beautiful and yellow 13 is the most compelling rival in the entire series. Erusea is an amazing enemy nation and their reasons for invading are really fleshed out, believable and quite tragic. The gameplay is a little bland, yes, but I never understood why some people dislike it so much. Finally it’s also one of the few games in the series where everyone isn’t constantly jacking you off over the radio, which I really appreciate
a very low effort turkish stars demo team livery for f5 have fun ;)
>>575075904Thank you, brother, I shall put it to good use.
>>575069368It has a fantastic story and the missions are fun and straight to the point
>>575069368Because it was their first AC game when they were children.
>>5750815845 was my first PS2 AC though
my only real gripe with ac4 is that the standard missile is both too slow and doesnt track good enough such that the npcs could be pulling a quarter of a degree of aoa and it'd missotherwise it was the first entry on a new system so ofc it doesnt have the pizzazz of the other 2
I agree with every bit of praise AC4 gets regarding the story, the narrative style, the characters, the whole vibe. But I just find it so bland to actually play.
Imagine the bants
>>575068751???By that point in the game you've already had missions just like that. Besides all you would have had to do would was set allies to cover while you hug the ground and escape as fast as the A-10 can go. Most of the missiles will just impact the mountains instead of you.
>>575055282This makes the 9th one Still got plenty left either from seeing them on the tree or found somewhere in game footageMig-21A-6FGripenGrowlerF-15CF-15JF-4F-35Mig-29Mig-31Su-25Su-57RafaleThen F-15E, F-22, YF-23, Su-47 who haven't shown up but we know they are in the game.If they want to be cute then Morgan & X-02 as well
>>575069368I love the way the story's presented, the Continental War has an actual timeline of a few years and not just "world changing war happens and ends in a few months," and the narrative pacing is wonderful. From how much of the plot is presented at a time, to how big setpiece missions are followed by simpler ones to let the player relax a little which then ramps up to another setpiece, to the simple plane unlock style gradually giving the player more and more power without any grinding or paths/trees locking down what planes can be experienced. The missions are simplistic and rely heavily on score attack with long time limits, but overall the game's pretty short and while they can be dull the score attacks aren't fucking offensive to play like some missions in later entries.It's not the biggest nor most ambitious title of the PS2 games, let alone the franchise, but it's the most engrossing one to me.
>>575075904I don't get it
>>575105192Its an F-5 skin for you to use in either X or JA
>>575069368It's fun that the formula for a modern AC title isn't fully pinned down yet while being close (a lot of stuff like the calling of vectors and plot-unrelated background chatter is a little more "flight simmy" than in later games, like it seems to relate more to what's actually happening on the battlefield in-game than to the needs of the plot.) and in terms of pure arcade gameplay, 4 has the edge over 5/0 in terms of letting you try for maximum points in minimum time if you want to really commit to that. (Although, tbf, a lot of the score attack missions are over-long if you're just playing through the story again and zero's idea of ending the mission when you have the required score is better for that kind of playthrough.)For my money X is the most underrated title.
>A skilled wingman capable of keeping up with Tasha's extreme maneuvers and providing effective cover.>A diehard rock music fan, Coster brings a compact music player into the cockpit to listen to during missions.I wonder what band Kono got this time?
>>575109932I still hope they licensed Blurry again. Like Coster comes over the radio during a mission and you hear a muffled CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAY in the background?
>>575115282cool. the first airship
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OxS8_g5_-Y&t=138sIf someone could use AI or whatever to replace the An-225 and Buran with the R-501 and R-352 I'd be real happy
>>575072647the way you describe it, you make it sound like 3 should be your favourite, not 4
>>575109932He's sounding less like Dision
>4500mm armourwhat br?
>they tried to get the cute korean F/A-50 for AC8 but weren't allowed:(
>>575137296>almost all new fighter jets are made in asia now>but they can't get any of the licenses
>>575139104That says to me they should try going backwards for a game or two. It'd be cool to develop Strangereal's history more too.
>>575116586That was the same thoughts I had. I just hope PA also shares out thoughts about this.
>>575137296Asian all hate each otherThey make racism in the US look like amateur hour compared to them.
>>575141048Agreed. Not for the sake of asian planes, but simply because going into the cyberpunk full sci-fi future timeline is lame.I wish they'd explore the secondary nations during the Strangereal late cold war equivalent.
>>575148806>cyberpunk full sci-fi future timeline is lameWhy do you think that?
>>575149010Well, I don't dislike cyberpunk stories per se, I just like my AC games a little more grounded in something closer to our own current world. Also I like flying real life plens, not "F-16, but coffin"AC3 was a cool experiment for sure, but I don't want the series to go there again
lads there's just something about jet engines and i don't know what it is
4 really is a beautifully put together game
>>575137296Why weren't they?
>>575151491chinamen are really anal and autistic about japan
>>575150972imagine sticking your dick in that
>>575151491iirc standard vehicle licensing stuff: they don't want you to show their nice shiny fighter jet riddled with bullets if the player is incompetent or being blasted out of the sky if it's an NPC plane
>>575151736the succ end or the exhaust end?
>>575150710But it will that is where PA wants it to go they already made mention that with 8 now they'll figure out how to connect the world they created to cyberpunk world of 3. Of course it won't be 1:1 that world will never come back. I expect it to be very different compared to what we all played. Real world planes won't vanish they'll still be around every single one of them will. But the COFFIN planes are going to be everywhere as well. 8 is most likely going to be the last game where COFFIN planes aren't common ally/enemy types right along side regular planes who will be much fewer in numberThey might go with the option I want to have in 8 and you select normal or coffin cockpits for your planes.
Why do the jets in 4 and 0 giggle or squeak when you throttle down from speed?
>>575152396iirc that's the sound of the airbrake deploying
>>575152354i get the feeling that if they make another game set around the same timeof 3, a lot of people are going to be disappointed that the aesthetic is nowhere near as cool 3's aesthetic from 1999
>>575153083Well we already are seeing those building types in 2029 and Sota looks to be fucking up large parts of USEA which gives an easy excuse to make everything look like 3 again. But not 100% like 80% with other 20% being normal real world buildings and stuff.Desu no matter how they make the game its going to disappoint a lot of people you can't please everyone and if you try to do so you fail completely at what your trying to do. In which case don't worry about that and make the game you want which always turns out great. Its only when they go to the real world do failures happen.
Man replacing all the shart thunder music with AC music instantly makes it more enjoyableStill a dogshit game
>>575155176low tiers are fun but it quickly becomes a slog. my deepest shame is that i gave them money to ease the grind before i realised it would never get fun again.
>>575155420I only reinstalled it yesterday to play the korea war Mig-15 vs F-86 temp event they just added, I'm nuking it again once it's over
>>575155420Jets up to the Sabre (whatever tier they call that now) can still be fun if you don't get fucked in the ass through uptiersFor me it's the F9F tho
Why does Kono hate the F-5?
>>5750693684’s the best for me because of all the usual suspects. Great music, a memorable story, cool planes, and the perfect setting to kick off modern Strangereal. The only gripes I have is all the score attack missions and how disappointing Yellow Squadron and Megalith are in missions vs cutscenes. Which is more forgivable than all of 5’s linked together missions with bad gimmicks and Zero’s very short and light first half of the game.
>>575164817>5’s linked together missionsit's been a while since i played, which ones were those again?
>>575165117I guess it was only the first 4 missions and Fortress into 8492. I remember it feeling much worse than that.
>>575166076hmm i don't recall the first 4 missions being that bad... they just kind of box you in a bit with the linearity
but i do remember some annoying missions like the one where you have to escort that goddamn jumbo jet through the radar network or the one where you have to follow pops on the deck, there were a few of thoseimo 5 just had too many missionsi'm not sure why they did it that way instead of deleting some and just making the remaining missions a bit longer
has anyone noticed that the recent games contain more chatter about food? or is it just me?
>>575168905Thats mostly due to Long Caster being a fat fuck
>>575169150not just long caster but also stuff like the characters in 8 talking over the radio about fish, in the trailer for 8 the cafeteria scene and the japanese guy holding the burger, stuff like that
>>575169381Nta but I think that’s a bit of general “super relatable” mantra and it’s also cultural taste for Japs. They see good food as more pleasurable than sex. Bing bing wahoo but in moon runes.
>>575170002>it’s also cultural taste for Japsi get that part but i don't recall it ever appearing much before 7 so i wonder why they started inserting it into their games
>Borgo dell'Est :)>Bulgurdarest :(
>>575167750>i'm not sure why they did it that way instead of deleting some and just making the remaining missions a bit longerBut you see, following Pops along in a lengthy cutscene was absolutely critical for the experience. Just like how it's crucial to play as Blaze avoiding radar bubbles again so he could take some hot candids of Belkans dressed up as Oseans and Yuktobanians, then be encouraged to run instead of fight when they find out he's a peeping tom. Or how it was important to spend a mission finding Nagase after she gets shot down for forced drama.
Yeah all the gay story shit should stay in skippable cutscenes, all the missions should just be 1000 enemies all at once without retarded mission updates crap
>>575171772kekthe funniest part about this is that some people will think you're being serious and agree
>>575171772I agree.
>>575171772 (me)AC6 did basically this and for me its the most forgettable game in the series outside of the aigaion
>>575171772I mean Project Wingman improves dramatically when you can just mute Crimson One's malding, and his mental breakdown is like half the plot of that game
>>575172538i had a shiteating grin on my face the first time i fought c1 but yeah on repeat it just becomes background noise
>>575171892xD
is AC8 woke?
>>575187327Let me guess, /wtg/?
Anon who said he was starting ace combat 3 for the first time a couple threads ago here. I'm only missing one route and seriously didn't expect it to become one of my favorite entries in the franchise Also noticed there's plenty of major events that happen in the period 8 takes place>mfw Zero Gravityfucking kino give me more of that NOW
>>575188807no, /v/>>>/v/743976632
>>575190978Even worse
>>575189972What was your first ending?Mine was the Cynthia oneI also played it like a month ago
>>575191943Ending A then went for B which so far is my favorite route.Now I'm only missing C
>>575150710>in something closer to our own current worldWagner PMC was technically owned by a restaurateur, and megacorps have had enough power to overthrow governments since the 1900s. We already live in the cyberpunk era, just a lame one with a shitty aesthetic.
>>575194332My fav was C but that's because i'm a sucker for retarded autistic girls aka rei ayanami
https://www.youtube.com/live/Gn_ATypR62c?si=GBuwDJmkgANQjccxdev stream vodstream waiting music is the briefing track from ac8 in clear qualitykono's eyebags have stayed pretty big since he's been doing ac8 showcases, is he ok?
>>575200752>stream waiting music is the briefing track from ac8 in clear qualitythe briefing music feels very familiar somehow
>>575201629Mitsuhiro Kitadani, maybe.I'm no musicfag but the harmonies sound like that of his work from 7 and other BAMCO games.I'm willfully ignoring the fact that he wrote most of the briefing and debriefing music for base-game 7, although those 7 tracks are good examples.
>>575200752Can't speak moon and I don't see an EN option I'm sure it has a lot of cool things they talk about......Of course he is ok, he's just getting old and working those 15 hour days has a more visible effect on him than it use too.
>>575187327right now: probably yes, because it has women in the trailerwhen it comes out: probably not because I'm assume it's gonna be successful and the whole "go woke go broke" punching down doesn't work once the game is actually out and good
So this is that Belka I keep hearing so much about, huh?Probably made even more interesting by the fact that I know about the next game being a prequel taking place during the Belkan War.So far I didn't quite understand why people jokingly call this series Metal Gear with planes (except for the silly superweapons) but now that the story is picking up I'm a little more on board with that
>>575187327mildly to moderately woke, is my take, as foids and niggers are in prominent roles
>>575187327I got planes I got cute pilot girl in squadI got lots of shit to blow up.I give zero fucks

>>575219454I don't mind Debra Wilson as long as they don't facescan her ugly mug into games
>>575234365Being against communism is leftist now, and so is being against jews, you have to keep up with second term /pol/
Huh, I'm surprised to hear Belka use German callsigns, considering the country has a Russian name
>>575236668Belka has always been Germanic.
This was fun as fuck, especially with how it rewards you for being able to fly close to the ground>>575236975yeah, I've noticed all the place names are German/Germanic too, I'm playing the games for the first time so previously I've only seen the term "Belka" thrown around and assumed it's related to something Russia/USSR inspired
>>575238038Don't worry, 5 will make it abundantly clear who the Russia/USSR analogs are.
>the president wants you to attack a mine that allegedly stores nuclear weapons>sealing off the entrance will surely meant hey won't ever be able to be used again...where have I hear this one before?>>575238676Well, with all Yuktobanian squadrons being named after Soviet spacecraft I have some strong suspicions
>>575225908the way this is composed makes it look like a very small flanker going up against a very large apalis

>>575187327Is there a single person who cares and isn't a huge faggot?>>575219454Case in point
>>575239195At least it's reasonable this time, no way the Belkan conspiracy has anywhere near the staying power (or luxury of time) of Iran.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7McSLP24pU
>>575245148For sure, plus I assume there is an actual strategic plan behind it beyond just "let's bomb them to shit and see what happens"
>>575236668I don't think PA intentionally named a country Squirrel. Then again, we also have Recta and Fato.
>>575251572The real life country Cameroon derives its name from the Portuguese camarãos, which means shrimp. Because there were a fuck-ton of shrimp in the country's main river when the Portuguese first arrived.

>>575238038I see you completed that mission with Grim deciding he'll let you live and not have to replay the mission today.
>>575255539lel, nice. For a second I was confused, because I could have sworn your squad members don't have collision, but then I remembered that they don't count as your squad in the mission.Also can you save/rewatch playbacks anywhere?
>>575255958Heh, that ain't that reason they just forgot to turn collision off in that mission just like they forgot to turn it off in another mission.>saveYes, your PC's video card has a built in recorder use it. If for some strange reason your card doesn't you can just go grab a recorder or use PCSX2 built in one. Plenty of ways to record something from the game.
Do you think we'll finally get more info on AC Online with TGS?
>>575271293that's some low quality textures on that plen from up close
>>575271293TGS?
>>575273307Apparently all the demos were locked in performance mode instead of letting you change to graphics mode. That is what the game will look like on low settings
>>575273575I'm not really one for graphics whoring but if that's low quality I can't wait to see what this game looks like on high end stuff.
>>575275413that said, even on console performance mode raytracing features are still enabled, so anyone hoping for a non raytraced lighting/shadows option is probably SOL
>>575275605>manually disables it by editing one of the game's ini fileswomm

Which plane and character left the most impression on you?ShimomotoP: He came to like the Hornet due to constant exposure, it being the cover plane and a movie star.Kono: Growler because having and playing a new plane category (EW) felt novel.K: Tasha because they spent a lot of time working on her than anyone else. So her being so popular is a pleasant surprise.>S: She's the first character we came up with and the last one we finished.>K: We spent a lot of money on this woman>S: That's a bad way to put it (raughs)S: The man in the suit because his VA did a lot of adlibs that brings a lot of charm to the character.>K: Oh you mean DD?>S: Wait are you allowed to say that?>K: I dunno lol>Q2. How did the devs came up with the land battleship?Early in the development, art director Kanno came up with the idea and made the concept art for it a few days later. Game director Isaki was resistant because it'd be difficult to implement but they did it anyway.>K: Kono-san, this land battleship is like Godzilla>K: That's how he tried to persuade me
>>575189972okay now done and got the secret ending. Actually pleasantly surprised by this game and like I saId it's unironically one of my favorites in the series now.Guess I'll replay 04 up next
>>575288015>Q3. What feature did you implement for new players and how does the difficulty compare to the previous game?S: On top of tutorials fin the early missions, we also made a training mode for players to learn movement and maneuvers.>K: Well the people watching this won't be needing it.S: There are 4 difficulties (renamed) and a 5th one (Ace) after meeting certain conditions.K: We designed the missions and adjusted difficulties based on what we've learned from last time and with 2 SPWs, wingmen, and parts you can adjust them to clear missions you find difficult.>Q4. Which part of the game you've put the most attention to?S: Well all of them, but I'd like to point out the sound designs. The sound team put a lot of effort to increase the feeling of immersion and they wanted the jet sounds to be as close as possible to the real ones.>S: We went to a US base in Okinawa to record jet sounds but we didn't know *when* they're gonna be flying, so we had to hold up mics in the sweltering summer heat.>K: That was fun.>S: No it wasn't, It was hellish.K: My job is to take things from various departments like dialogues and music and put them together in gameplay to create scenes that will give goosebumps to the players.

And a good excuse for a company paid beach day.Guess they didn't have the budget for a EU trip to record the dorito trio sounds and a couple of Mig sounds
Finished AC5, good shit.I think overall I liked it more than 4, but it's also fresher in my memory. There is more of a story with more over the top batshit moments, which I loved. The tunnel run was hype as fuck and both the Arkbird and SOLG were very fun bossfightsMy two biggest criticisms are probably that special weapons are locked to each aircraft, I wish you would at least have a few options per plane I'm assuming that's what the "upgraded" version of each plane, that I didn't unlock, are for and the fact that despite several very intense naval battles I haven't heard "Vampire, vampire, vampire" a single time.Great game, looking forward to playing Zero, still regret a little that my childhood plane game of choice was Heroes of the Pacific instead of one of these.By the way, people in here recommended me the PS2 trilogy specifically. What about AC6, is it any good? Should I play that before going to 7?
>>575331451No you are locked to one SP per plane you have no upgraded version of any plane.>Vampire, vampire, vampireYou won't hear that they don't say that in any game.>What about AC6, is it any good?6 is great its a must play. Play it after Zero and you have played X right? If not play it before you play 6.
>>575331451>What about AC6, is it any good?6 is best played after the PS2 games so you can appreciate how much they actually took advantage of next-gen technology (at the time) to expand gameplay massively, much like how 04 was the same compared to the PS1 games. Just be prepared for a much smaller plane roster because they couldn't reuse assets from the PS2 games, and mute the cutscenes.
>>575333991>>575334245>No you are locked to one SP per plane you have no upgraded version of any plane.I meant how you unlock the F-20A from the F-5E, which have different SP, but that's the only score based unlock I've got>You won't hear that they don't say that in any gametragic>6 is great its a must play. Play it after Zero and you have played X right? If not play it before you play 6.>6 is best played after the PS2 games so you can appreciate how much they actually took advantage of next-gen technologyAye sir, I'll check them out. Only ones I've played are 4 and now 5. A little bit of 7 too, but that was years ago and I quit after a few missions because it felt like I couldn't fully appreciate the game without the context of playing at least a few of the older ones. I'm feeling like I'll enjoy it a lot more once I get to it this time.
>>575335126>I meant how you unlock Oh ok yeah that is the only way to change SPW get another planeRemember that X has a texture pack make sure you get it along with the HD button/text pack for ppsspp
«For the glory of our country.»
>>575335126Play Zero next, then ACX and AC6Then re-play AC7, there are a TON of easter eggs for enjoyers of the older game. One of those that stuck with me for the longest time, is when in M4 the Razgriz motifs plays for a couple of seconds when (Heavy spoiler if you didn't reach Mission 4) President Harling gets killed After this experience, if you crave more, play AC3 Electrosphere, the JP->EN version. It's a great game but it's... different

I'm having an issue with the translation patch for the AC3 Appendisc. To quote the instructions:>But this time you need the disc contents split into multiple BIN/WAV files and a single CUE file.>The reason is that we are going to apply the patch only to the only BIN file, the first track of the discSo the disc needs to be split into multiple BIN files, but the patch is going to be applied to the only BIN? Is this some bungled way of writing that the first BIN file is what gets the patch, like it says at the end of the sentence?I just want to be sure before I pull the trigger on this.

>>575418295I'm sure someone will remove the raytracing requirement but there's no telling how much it will impact the overall look since the game visual's were worked with it in mind

just another pigeon
>>575390238You can force Photo Mode with Hansel in any game that supports it.UE5 supports it natively, i use it a lot in war thunder for example picrel is a photo i took with my phone to show you the overlay, it has a shit ton of options
>>575415467UE5 is fucking cancer man
>>575415467>1080p upscaledWe're not getting our shit optimized I'm afraid.
>>575438731>>575415467Yeah.60fps at MEDIUM, fake 1080p it's fucking criminalI'm considering cancelling the preorder
>>575419021Unfortunately that is not possible. A modder would have to create rasterized lighting shadows and reflections. That is a SHITLOAD of work. Using ray racing by comparison saves a shitload of work for developers. I read the developer news for Metro Exodus pc enhanced edition which has mandatory raytracing compared to the regular pc release. Developers specifically talked about all the work it saves.
>>575415467how did epic convince every studio to switch to this fucking piece of cancer shit engine?
>>575351751>Then re-play AC7, there are a TON of easter eggs for enjoyers of the older gameVery nice>spoilerthat's cool. I've played that mission but not far past it, I believe and I was wondering if that's the same Harling as in 5. Also the name Kestrel seemed familiar, so I'm not sure if it or a ship with the same name might not be in 7 as well. The Erusian ace in 7 also seems a lot like just the Yellow 13 archetype again.Also starting with the earlier games has made the following the world building so much easier. You can't introduce Erusea, Usea and Osea all in the same cutscene and expect people to follow it, learning about them one by one though has made it very simple.>After this experience, if you crave more, play AC3 ElectrosphereFor sure.I had to find a balance between tarting with the old games, but not making it overwhelming, since it is a big series. So going back all the way to Air Combat felt too daunting and 4 seemed like a god entry point, since 2 is light on story and 3 takes place in the future from what I understand. But I'm probably gonna go back to them eventually.
>>575415467>RX 6800 16GB for literally not even native 1080p60 on high settingsWHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCKING OPTIMIZE YOUR SHIT CUNTSYOU'VE HAD SEVEN FUCKING YEARS TO DO ITCHRISTFUCKING KILL EVERY SINGLE GAME DEVELOPER OUT THERE ALREADY
just get a low end pc from half a decade ago bro
didn't we already have rough pc specs months ago?why are people freaking out so much now it's basically the same
>>575447184Because people wanted to believe in optimization.It seems that it'll be an unoptimized piece of shit, like 90% of UE5 games out thereupscaled 1080p at MEDIUM settings for 60fps on reccomended setting is undefendable. It's monster hunter tier of unoptimization
>>575447406>monster hunter tierno that was waaaaaay worse.you'd get 30-40fps on the AC8 recced hardware requirements with upscaling set on performance, frame gen was mandatory in that game and it still looked like absolute dogshit.In comparison AC8 actually has the visual fidelity to warrant higher hardware. Also sorry anon but you've deluded yourself if you expected any major changes compared to a few months ago. Like you said yourself it's on par with other EU5 games (new halo game as example).I'm not defending EU5 by any means but common man what did you expect here.
>>575448347>RX 6600 minimum to run the blunder of the yearhow far have we come
>>575449809anon it's a 6 year old mid-tier GPU...surely you've updated your rig since 7 came out right?
>>575451817i just wanted to shit on the new halo game spare me from your specs faggotry
I was going to post some hopium for those with contemporarily mid-tier hardware but I've decided against it.
Don’t worry, you’ll be able to turn RT off, someone will figure it out
>Laugh at it all you want, kid. But technology's always changing. If you don't keep up with it, it'll leave your ass behind.Should've listened to you gramps, I should've upgraded when I had the chance.
The PS5 is a 6 year old console, buddies. There's been SO much time.
>>575448347I was the one who didn't believe in optimization and knew all along the UE5 would enshitify it.I tried HLL Vietnam and i couldn't crack 20fps at 1440p with 32gb ram, i9900k and 3080ti
>>575415467CPU: No problemRam: Ehhh.....GPU: Just fineI knew I couldn't play it at full power I just wasn't expecting the limit to be the ram I was thinking it would want a 4090 or somethingDon't care either way I ordered it for PS5. When good GPU cost as much as consoles do might as well just get it on a console and save the PC for everything else less hassle and cheaper this wayPlus I wanna see if I can make my PS5 turn this game in EDF with frame rate drop in large battles
>>575453239I still wonder why cocksucking faggot sly lied with this chart and put native 1080p in medium.
>>575453824Buddy, it's no longer about upgrading your PC because of some new graphics breakthrough like it was during the Crysis era.Now hardware upgrades are becoming mandatory because developers rely on AI and upscaling shortcuts to cut costs instead of properly optimizing their games, while often delivering worse overall visual fidelity.It's literally one step forward and ten steps back.I can run UE5 slop just fine on my machine, but that's not the point. It's simply unacceptable. If your answer is just "should've upgraded," eventually Damocles' sword will be hanging over your neck too.Normalizing the idea of buying a €1,500 GPU every year because developers want to shift development costs onto consumers is not the right approach.
>>575453239Even if i believe UE5 is dogshit i still think many are missing the point, you can turn some settings down from ultra to medium and get 30fps extra while some settings don't even give you 2fps at bestLets say volumetric fog that generally kills performance and loses almost no detail from high to low because it only impacts the internal resolution for effects passing through it etc. Just turn it down.Also kill some of the shit you don't really need like motion blur, DOF, CA, etc and get even more.4k high needs a 4080 okay who gives a fuck about 4k, 1440p should be the target. Yeah a 3070 for 1080p upscaled is too much, if it was 1440p it would be fine but raytracing is simply the problem, most cards cannot handle raytracing even after 9 years of it being pushed hard and we still won't be able to have raytraced games for another 3-4 generations of cards at least. And no slow delayed population of noise and light in spaces that takes around 2-3sec when you turn your camera or something moves is not realtime enough for real time raytracing to be worth it.
>>575454751>wahJust turn down the graphics settings, I don't really know what else to say.The industry's in a shitty spot these days sure but you act like it's only a recent trend to have poorly optimized games releasing. It shouldn't have to be the norm but it's probably self-correcting since consumer hardware has long since plateaud and developers will eventually realize they're missing out on a decent market share who can't run their games, although most of the big companies are retarded so who knows. People still buy games regardless of how well they run, just look at basically every Bethesda release since Morrowind.
>>575454751>>575454842>>575455473>Ray TracingLess manual lighting work for developers, more GPU load for players.>DLSSAI upscaling that's increasingly used to compensate for a lack of optimization, saving development time while shifting the performance burden onto the consumer.>Frame genTechnologies that started as optional features but are increasingly treated as requirements, allowing developers to rely less on optimization and more on the player's hardware.>PhotogrammetryFaster creation of realistic environments, but often at the cost of huge asset sizes and higher hardware demands.>Lumen\NaniteMore tools to quickly achieve high-end visuals, but they can encourage shipping games that rely on brute-force hardware instead of optimization.>Shader compilation on your PCLess testing and optimization on the developer side, more stuttering and troubleshooting for consumers.Of course i will get down the graphic to run a game that runs shitty, but there will come a day that your beast-of-a-machine will be worthless because we keep going down this path.THIS is the problem. You are not forced to upgrade because you want to keep going up the mountain, you are forced to upgrade to fill the hole they left behind
>>575438460>Have no games that use UE5 on PCDidn't know UE5 games could do that honestly All I ever use the nvidia overlay for is to record videoYeah a bit of a I'm total a fucking retard moment for me.Good to know for future use however
Yeah yeah I can lower it all to minimum and "play" itBut the "intended experience" is way out of my reach.See you guys in a couple of years, for when I can afford a computer, if prices go down, if not I'm splashed.
It's fascinating having watched the value propositon shift and how it affected ye olde PC Gaming Master Race discourse. Rewind ten years where hardware advancements are booming and every release is either cheaper for not much performance loss or just about as/slightly more expensive than the previous gen and it's all sunshine and roses with the loudest voices being the autistic battlestation builders trying to make FPS go up for epeen. Fast forward to recent times when broader industry and market trends have reminded everyone what it's like to own a potato PC, and now the loudest voices are people who haven't upgraded in years desperately wishing developers cater to their rigs and not the battlestation crowd.Meanwhile a console WILL play this game, just as has been consoles' selling point for decades now. Nobody owns shit anymore though.
Funny how once again the thread is full of people bitching about specs. Just like it was when they posted the min specs a while back. I wonder how many have wondered in from /v/ or reddit just to bitch because they haven't done a PC upgrade in 7 or 8 years. Seriously did a lot of you people not put just a little bit of money aside every week for several years so they could buy a nice modern PC or get a PS5?>>575456087You could play it now at low then in a few years feel like its whole new game when you play it at full. Then you would be able to enjoy full settings even more as you've played it long enough you can pay more attention to the view and not have pay attention to what your doing as much as you know what to do and expect with out thinking.
>>575457884Maybe i wasn't clear.Back in the day, you upgraded to go up the mountain towards peak graphics.Now, you need to upgrade to fill up the hole the developers leave behind, and use framegen to go halfway throug peak graphics.It's fundamentally different
>>575455730Don't get me wrong I think raytracing has a future, it is tech we will all use but it was pushed far too early, same with 4k, ps4 was a 4k console then pspro then ps5 and now you cant really sell a ps6 on a 4k promise because 4k was 10+ years ago even if all the consoles were 720p and hell now some ps5 games are fucking 560p BUT THE BOX SAYS 4K is the consumer mindsetI'd rather have a good 1080p image than a shitty 1440p or 4k one, look at the new halo remake or any ue5 game that looks blurry, messy, noisy and runs like shit AC8 looks great but we won't really know the performance before launch, we can hope it will run better than they say it does.>PhotogrammetryUsed in many games that were easily maxed on a 1060 6gb 10 years ago and those games beat out most RT heavy 5090 requiring games today>Lumen\Nanitewhile i get hw lumen, software is shit, nanite is a good idea when used for some things the implementation is unfinished and fucked in UE just like most fucking features they make and their manual tells you DO NOT IMPLEMENT IT AS A CHECKMARK and then modern devs click the checkmark and call it a dayIf you read up on UE games some devs spent months figuring out a lot of CPU issues and wasted gpu time doing nothing, shit that updates 60x per second even if it stays in place etc. Fucking gacha devs make blogs and blogs about optimizing games and tricks they use and people are shocked when a thing is implemented and it costs less than 1fps and looks better than a fully realistic 30fps chugging piece of shit>Shader compilation on your PCMore dev control means more dev work and skill needed to code everything well, shit was automated before, UE5 compiles shaders and then forgets to actually do it most of the time. They admitted this recently that yeah the compilation didn't really compile the shaders well lmao hehe you know whoops
>>575457583You can play the game on a 8+ year PC too bro, you can play it on a potato modern pc tooSet the game to 1080p performance mode or enable frame gen and its going to play, you will get above 30fps That is the console way, people here want more than 30, they want games that look at least the same they did 8 years ago and to run better after 5 generations of components not games that look worse and run 16x worseLook at monster hunter, shit looks like a ps3 game, looks the same as world and that ran okay on a 1060 now wilds needs a 4090 for what? 480p textures? 18 gorillion poly beards on a monster behind 3 canyon walls and fog?
>>575458924Obviously my post may have sounded anti-technology and anti-progress, but that is not the point.These tools can be revolutionary when paired with knowledge and expertise. The problem is when they are used as replacements for skilled work, mainly to cut costs, because "good enough" is often enough for the market.Ray tracing can be breathtaking when combined with proper lighting design and optimization, but when used as a shortcut it shifts the burden from developers to consumers, who pay the price in performance.
>>575458916This isn't then this today and like it or not that is how it works now.You've had years to upgrade or buy a whole new rig. Years to set aside a little bit of cash every week or month then buy nice parts. You knew this was going to happen just by how everything was going. You have no one to blame but yourself for not being ready for a game you knew would have high specs.
>>575459394>Look at monster hunter, shit looks like a ps3 game, looks the same as world and that ran okay on a 1060 now wilds needs a 4090 for what?Ah yes, the blind gamers who don't understand diminishing returns are back.
corpos get the stick and nothing but the stick until games run on reasonable hardware
>>575459465Yeah my bad. My issue is with people with a 1650 claiming its not fair or its shitty. And then people with a 5090 being okay with a 55fps game on 1080p just to own the poors. Both camps are retarded, people champion bad practices and excuse shit all the time. Currently we are all paying the price for sloppa generators and insane shareholder stories about removing the entire workforce with just one more datacenter just trust me bro just one more. We can hope they can still make progress with the game, I've seen devs fix a lot of shit in a month or two so who knows.
>>575460087Oh fuck you, blind gamers? Look at the fucking thing, what diminishing returns? Shit looks worse than a 2014 game and requires a 5090They had to implement basic fallbacks and optimisation tech a year+ after launch.Horizon zero dawn looks much better than wilds, runs on a 1060Look at any fucking game and it looks better than wilds.It should run on a 2060 based on how it looks. Being new does not make it better, same goes for shit like dragons dogma 2, why the fuck does that game run so bad? Everything that could have went wrong did with it.
>>575459861Again, i will play the game just good because i have a good, upgraded top of the line PC.This doesn't mean anything, the path we are taking will rape us in the ass non the less.Going "it is what it is" and just taking it up the ass is just not the right answer, and throwing money at the problem just makes it worse>>575460120Exactly this. I will have no problems in running the game (hopefully, because UE5 just decides to run shit on some rigs for no reason. With a 5090 at 1440p HLL:Vietnam ran at like 30fps for me, unbelievable)Again, people just don't want to see itHopefully i will not regret like i did with MHWIt would be a big blow since AC is my favourite saga of all times
>>575460692Same, I will not have issues with it but many will. Is it so difficult for people to understand this one simple thing? People complaining about the sysreq and performance might not even have issues with the game but people they know might, people who would buy the game might skip it because of it etc.
So this was developed for console and baldy ported to pc.Either that or devs ain't deving anymore
I'm turning to model aircraft and swooshing toy plens around my room
>>575460096thisI'm genuinely considering pirating the game at this point
So anyways if you buddies haven’t tried the #6 recomp it’s almost perfect. Missile trails fixed cutscenes fixed clouds fixed pixelation fixed. 60fps. For anyone running a 60hertz tv like me, disable “allow variable bit rate and screen tearing” and then set the games internal fps to 59, this will eliminate 95% of any screen tearing. I was getting screen tearing with the default settings on this newest release from 12 days ago even with Vsync on. The earlier release 6 weeks ago I did not have any screen tearing most likely because it was 30fps and had a shitload of microstutters.
>>575467792but is it plug n play or does it require work and effort on my part
>>575468504you still need to recompile it because it would be illegal otherwise, but i'ts just like a 5 minute "work" with a youtube walkthrough for retards 101 (me)
>>575468597gib the video pls
>>575415467>R5 5600>RTX 5060Ti 16GB>32GB DDR4maybe I should get a 5800X3D just to be safe
I have about 40k european rupees i the bacnk so I could easily afford to upgrade my PC for AC8 but I'm currently unemployed so that's money I wouldn't get back until god knows when

i7 10700RTX 507032GB RAM 3600MHzAm I good, pilots? I play 1080p at 60FPS, not even max settings, I play mostly on high at most.
>>575470114yeah you are gucci for 60fpsI'm a spoiled 120fps brat so i will have some problems with it
Another weird thing, a new thing for Zero appeared on Steam's backend, and it's not a separate game. It seems like it's bundled into 8's install as a launch option. I really don't know why.>>575415467See the nice thing about having a laptop with a 1050 as my only PC gaming option is that I already knew this wouldn't run on it, so I'm not even remotely surprised lmao. Best time to build a new PC was three years when I didn't have any money.>>575469467Yeah even if I had the money now I feel like I'm better off saving it for something more important.
>4060 8gb 5700x 32gb DDR4Will that be enough to run the game at 1080p 60fps?
Ace combat? whats so Ace about it
so when are they bringing back infinity style im@s skins
So strange that this showed up the day I was going to buy a pc.I'll listen to the signs, 5070ti it is
>>575474249Denuvo will never stop the modders, can't wait for their works of art.
>>575415467>got a R5 3600X and a 5700XTFuck my Emmerian lifeWhat GPU should I drop on my B450
>>575475753With GPU prices right now it might be worthwhile to just outright buy a (used) PS5, since that will be guaranteed to play anything for the next few years and likely for a few years into the PS6's lifetime, and next gen consoles probably aren't coming out any time soon with how messy the hardware market is currently.
>>575460096>games run on reasonable hardwareThe min specs are very reasonable hardware for the past 6 years. The rec specs are also reasonable for 2026. Upgrade your dang toaster already.
>>575474908Shit yeah you're right those cutscenes aren't pre-rendered...
>>575460692>Going "it is what it is" and just taking it up the ass is just not the right answer,No it isn't but not much we can do about it. No one will listen they just keep going on the same course hell I even seen some indie guys who are getting so fucking lazy they make a game that from everything you see of it could run just fine on a computer from 2002 yet its min specs would be high end gaming in 2015. I'm at the point of fuck it lets just run it all the way into the ground as it seems and feels like anyone and everyone who makes games today doesn't care and won't start to care until just seconds before impact then its to late. I feel like a certain line of Pixy's is very fitting for how I view modern game development in both indie, small and big name studios alike. But on the plus side between Iran still trying to fuck the world economy and data centers eating ALL the ram & GPU's I think the problem is about to self correct itself very soon.
>>575478417Yeah its going to be like FF7 remake and the 1000 & 1 mods they made for Tiffa & Aeris
>>575476161Thank you, anon, I'll consider it
Back to the game they did Mig-29's plane intro video today.
>>575481545I hadn't noticed how textured the ocean's surface was before.Long streaks and splotches and stuff in the shallows are nice touches.

We flexing specs now? >9800X3D>32GB @6000 (cl30)>5070tiFairly sure I'm good. And it only cost me like 4k eurobucks!
>>575487253I got the same thing, but it cost me 45k mexipesos
>>5754872534k euros? What the fuck? Where do you live?I can have the same rig for 1500 here in italy, not even kidding. I did the exact same for my brother, minus the 5070 that was swapped for a 4070, for 900€
>>575474764Done! Bullet bitten!I needed a PC anyway
>>575487401Cazzate, a meno che tu non abbia preso ciarpame di seconda mano o PNY.To be fair, I went from AM4 to 5 so I had to rebuild everything from scratch. Was also running out of disk space, and a 4TB M2 is NOT cheap.
>>575488075Ti giuro fra, c'ho un amico di bergamo che me li vende senza IVA perchè fa dei magheggi lui e se li scarica, certo è una bella mazzata in meno, ma non da 4k a 1.5kHe has a 2x1tb m2 tho, those are way cheaper. But are you counting monitor etc. in the 4k as well?
>>575479201>Iran still trying to fuck the world economybased fucking goycattle retard lmao
>>575489247Eh vabbè, grazie al cazzoNo monitor, still using my old 43" TV (which I will have to change sooner or later). I did buy a new case, new MB, new AIO and a couple extra fans though.Still, a ROG 5070ti costs like 1,3k and a 9800X3D about 400 and they're both cheaper by ~100 eurobucks each compared to when I bought them literally last month, what the fuck.Still, even with VAT and chink sweatshop (no, the irony is not lost on me) shenanigans there's no way you could've spent that little on a similar setup.Sicuro che non sia roba di seconda mano e già usata per minare o per generare millemila troiate con l'IA?
>finish Ace Combat 5>go to climbing gym, thinking about telling climbing buddy about it>enter gym>first song that I hear playinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrcXwukYl6YI almost got goosebumps what the fuck, I didn't even know that was an actual song, I assumed they made it just for the game or I knew it and forgot, can't tell honestly

>>575492661<< You WILL survive A-Non! >>
There gonna piss away all the good will they got with 7.There gonna fuck it up like they fucked up Tekken 8.
>>575491374Apparently the PA team were just big fans of the song and thought it kinda fit 5 thematically. And they're right because 5 is one of the most mid-2000's games ever made.
>>575499601oh fuck wrong general
>>575493910>>575498885it's the eternal problem with the videogame industrypublisher boards full of psychopath cunts in expensive suits, who don't play videogames but need to hoard all the money, making anti-consumer decisions that the actual developers have to obeyI imagine being a passionate dev in a big studio nowadays must be soul crushing
>we've gone from doomering about hardware to doomering about the game as a wholeWhere were you fucking tourists when /aceg/ was limping along on page 10 for years
>>575499458I love shit like this. Same for movie directors who just randomly decide they want their favorite song in a movieIn fact one of my favorite movies is made entirely on this premisehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYv2a_VF328>it kinda fit 5 thematicallyoh for sure, plus Chopper mentioned at least 2 or 3 times how his music collection is in danger, when the base was attacked
>>575500607I was one of the few sad fucks bumping it from page 10 several times a day for no real reason
>>575500607Don't worry buddy, we will be back to our namefag fellating circle in about a month after 8 launches, the multiplayer dies and everything worth of notice about the game is discussed.
>>575492875>50superBuddy.....
>>575473176Anyone???
>>575473176>8gbmaybe if you like stutters
>>575508392Yes you'll make it in 1080pit wants 32 you have 32 expect slowdowns unless you lower a setting or two. Of if you have the cash to burn consider buying another stick of ram of any size and the problem will go away.On the up side your PC will now sound like the jet your flying at least you'll get better engine sounds now.
>>575509510>Of if you have the cash to burn consider buying another stick of ramI have 2x16GB sticks
>>575510924Nvm I see what you meant
>>575510924Oh well nevermind then
it's not gonna use 32 gigs of ram don't be daft
>>575473176easiest performance gain would be getting an X3D CPUUE5 is notoriously CPU intensive and you can get a 5800X3D decently cheap in most places.RAM is fine. GPU could be better but those are expensive, can always just lower texture settings and be fine.
>>575511784No but windows will
>>575500607Its clear by now that Le tourist meme has lost its meaning at this point
>>575502407sorry about your trauma with other generals

Did people seriously not upgrade to 32GB ram while ram was still super cheap?
>>575512723No, you double nigger. The thread noticeably has an uptick in posts and decrease in novel discussion every time hardware spec "news" comes out, far exceeding any influx from other announcements PA has been making through their feeds bar a trailer dropping. And it's always the same tired talking points about muh unoptimization muh should've upgraded muh Bamco ruining the game like Tekken. We've had the same discussion about system reqs being too high and 8 "not looking much better than 7" since like December, and it's been the same complaints every time.>>575516709Literally tourists.
>>575487253>5800X3D (bought when it dropped below €300 briefly)>32GB 3600CL18 RAM (bought for €130)>RX 6800 XT (used, about 320 eurobucks iirc)I dunno man pretty happy with this all things considered.
its not as if PA had been telling us the game was going to be developed with UE5 and current gen consoles as the minimum baseline since 5 years ago>high graphics settings requires good hardwarewoooooooowwwwwwwww
>>575518684I completely forgot I even had 32gb of ram, I was so worried about it being an Elden Ring release for me all over again and then I decided to check just in case. Funny how forgetful I am sometimes.
>>575525291When you play the game it's barely any different from AC7 anyway, with all these specs you'd expect a graphics jump from PS1 to PS3 at least, but nope, no shit people complains about it if there's barely any difference.
>>575530561>When you play the game it's barely any different from AC7 anywaywhy do people still repeat ts when we have literal hours worth of high quality 4k footage of 8 that completely rapes 7 in terms of graphical fidelity
>>575530802https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOiYXwpZ0yUThis really could've been some AC7 mission because other than better explosions what else? This is more like AC4 into AC5, which are the same gen console by the way.
>>575531049there is no mission in 7 that looks like this or would ever look like this, stop the cope
>>57553125710 million relief plan does
>>575516271touhoutards always ruining everything
>>575530802Those anons are fucking blind and comparing how 8 looks like on their 1080p screens to their memories of how 7 looked.
A short story titled "Dark Blue" written by Sunao Katabuchi featuring Avril and her grandfather has been released and we learn that:>Avril was born 2 years before the Belkan War began (born 1993)>Under President Harling, Osea did deploy a contingent of fighters to assist ISAF in combating Erusean forces during AC4's continental war.>Avril's dad was shot down by Yellow 13 near Stonehenge.>Avril's dad also knew Yellow 13 personally, getting drunk with him at a bar prior to the war.>Avril's dad was ordered by Osean commanders to be in the rear guard rather than volunteering for it as stated in AC7.>Avril's Grandfather knew Svenson and Baker from the Sand Island detachment in AC5 (they were the pilots killed in AC5's opening cutscene)https://enso-order.acecombat.jp/special/novel-darkblue/Thoughts on the short story? I personally don't like how Yellow 13 had to be included, it makes the world of Ace Combat feel smaller because every character has to have some connection with another character the players will recognize. I also don't think a pacifist like Harling would deploy Osean combat forces unless it was the Grey Men controlling him.
>>575534356DONUT STEEL
>>575534356>Avril's dad was shot down by Yellow 13 near Stonehenge.>Avril's dad also knew Yellow 13 personally, getting drunk with him at a bar prior to the war.So one of our wingmen in AC4?
>>575533539Seriously, the volumetric clouds in 7 were not very good even by then-current standards (MSFS2020 released a year later and had far higher fidelity)
>>575534647so it's all just because of clouds? I don't think this is worth all the trouble
>>575534828it is actually worth the trouble because ace combat is a flight action game and weaving around 3d cloud banks and through thunderstorms while dogfighting is really cool
>>575534356>Avril's dad was shot down by Yellow 13 near Stonehenge.So he didn't die during the Circum-Pacific war?
>>575534828No you faggot. It's the higher resolution details, higher poly plane and missile models, the higher detailed fucking ground and sea rendering (a lot of buildings/vehicles that were texture maps in 7 are now actual 3d models with hitboxes in 8, and waves have noticeably more dynamic behavior), the responsive weather system and damage system. The clouds are just the easiest thing to point to because no matter where you are in 7/8 you can look at cloud porn.I'm tired of /v/ermin coming here to complain about graphics every time PA makes an announcement about specs. The series' gameplay has been largely the same since 2 on the PS1 but it's incredibly disingenuous to assert that they haven't been improving graphics alongside the different console generations.
>>575534356Is it two years before the Belkan war or the Continental war? She really doesn't seem like a 1993 baby to me.
>>575539985That would put her at 26 in 2019, which seems reasonable to me.
If clouds can be deformed, then I'll eat my hat, and apologize to project aces.
>>575541978there are deformable clouds, and almost certainly going to be used for missions where sotoa's kinetic orbital strike satellites (the terminus fingers?) are in playyou can see a very brief snippet of this in action in trailer 2
>>575423536>ITS COMING FROM THE PUNA PLAINS>AND SO AM I
so how come using LSWM on Puna Plains doesn't give you S rank but playing normally does? Is the time clear bonus worthless?
>>575548374The Rafale's a very pretty plane.
>>575191943I only played AC7. I didn't know we had multiple endings...
>>575415467I'm glad I upgraded my stuff before this game dropped.
>>575532126If it exists, there is a Touhou crossover.
>>575557418go play the older games right this very instant you massive poopy face
My badanyway, ...AC3
>>575542287Looks cool.
>Nearly a month out from AC8 release>Still no gameplay or even a basic rundown of the multiplayer aspect
>>575574884I'd reckon we'll see it at Gamescom.
>>575557418If you liked AC7, you should play AC4-AC5-AC0 in this order, and you will be hooked on the franchise forever.After those, you will probably crave more, and you should play AC3-ACX-AC6 in that order because those are great as well.Then you should replay AC7 and you'll appreciate twice more. If you want to appreciate AC7 three times over, you should play ACAH to see how low and how close to the end we went before the return to form.
>>575574884And that's a good thing
>>575532126YOU ruin everything anon
>>575576379Then play AC1 & AC2 for the most fun arcade experience you can have with the series. They are more fun than Air Combat 22 which was an actual arcade game.

>>575559449>>575576379>>575579617I was worried the HOTAS setup on emulators suck ass since it even sucks on project wingman
>>575581441Why do they insist on calling it 'standard' controls? It ain't standard to anything but Star Fox.
>>575582857use a normal controller over HOTASthis isn't a flight sim series
>>575584072But I feel so much cooler with HOTAS :(
>>575584223The games were made for PS1/2 the controller is how its meant to be played. Plus I don't even know if either emu will work with a flight stick that isn't the one they made for PS1 & 2
>>575578964cringe
>>575585592
>>575584578You're right. Now it's time to obsess over the best PS2 emulators, setting etc I guess...
>>575587138PCXS2 is really the only viable PS2 emulator and the games are pretty much plug and play now, the only thing you might want to do is increase the resolution and change the ingame aspect ratio to 16:9
>>575589707I just did a run in all the ps2 games, they work flawlessly now.I can share my settings but it pretty much works without any issues, I did not play around with texture mods>>575583079They need to make the retard controls a non default thing like in the older games, you see people get those wrong all the time with 7
>>575591997>They need to make the retard controls a non default thing like in the older games, you see people get those wrong all the time with 7Agreed, imo it’s kind of unfair to noobs to present the proper controls as an optional-sounding “expert” mode, I bet a lot of people wouldn’t even try because “it’s my first time with the game, I’m obviously not an expert” and then end up with a degraded experience. How would they know better without someone irl to tell them? A lot of the game is actually harder with the babby controls too.
>>575592848Not to mention noobs are probably not going straight to the settings menu, lol, they’re just going to play on default options. It should default to the proper controls and prompt you at the tutorial, and label them something like “standard” and “simplified”.
>>575592848>“it’s my first time with the game, I’m obviously not an expert”I remember choosing the 'expert HUD' in botw for my first playthrough since I'm just hardcore like that. Really immersive experience but after I finished I was confused why everyone's HUD was so bloated because I forgot about that setting
is "push analog left or right, then down, to turn" really too complicated a notion for non planefags?
>>575598096Yes, they can't into 3D movement only 2D movement.
>>575583079I was about to say that other games where planes are not the focus have similar controls but even shit like battlefield and gta controls like expert
I really need to upgrade my ram. I only have 32GB right now.
>>575598096I think some people expect "on rails" experience like this one COD I played (Black ops 2?) and Halo Reach. There might also be some overlap with players that play racing games full throttle.
>>575598096The AC4 tutorials taught me that well enough.
I must confess that I actually used Novice controls in Assault Horizon, but only because DFM and ASM refused to play nice with the banking otherwise.
Anime into 3DCGI into real actors. What's next, having to go to a theater performance between Ace Combat 6 missions?Zero is pretty fun so far, I'm curious about how they'll spice up the story, considering it's a prequel and I know how the Belkan war will ultimately end (or do I?), plus the anticipation of actually seeing it is still strong.Also airborne mercenaries has got to be of the most Strangereal things ever. Plus it allows me to fly some planes like the Mig-21 (and most redfor planes) that felt a little out of place in the previous games. But a mercenary flying basically the plane version of the AK-47 seems very on brand.The honor system, or whatever it's called, seems interesting too. If they'll do anything with it, like placing SAM sites or mission targets in densely populated civilian areas or something, because so far it mostly seems like: do you want to blow up a maternity ward on your way to the objective?: yes; no;
>>575589707>>575576379How are we feeling about ac ahl on the 3DS? I recently got cfw running on my 3DS and I wanna play around with it
>>575599394>What's next, having to go to a theater performance between Ace Combat 6 missions....Worse its cheesy JP melodrama between missions.
>>575599408Inferior version of 2. Enemy ace intros & battles are nice but it lost a lot of the charm and fun of the original version.
>>575592848I think the only time I deliberately changed to novice controls was to complete time limit comfortably
do you believe in plens?
I'm playing air combat on my ayn thor, and I like it, but I also hate it.I'll move to the ps2 titles once I finish with the ps1 ones.
>>575608406The jump in quality from 2 to electrosphere is insane, you'll love it
>want to get the plat on ace combat 5 >get S rank on ace in every mission just fine>it's not retroactive so now I gotta get S rank on ALL the lower difficulties
>>575606414How can plens be real if our eyes aren't real?
I just realized someone is going to rip Rex's 3d model on day one just like they did with Ethan in RE7
>>575591997>They need to make the retard controls a non default thing like in the older games, you see people get those wrong all the time with 7Which one defaults to proper controls? I thought everything defaulted to the wonky babby controls going back to even the PS1, but it's been a while.
>>575614239Honestly don't remember but I played 3 a week ago and expert was default
>32 gigs of RAM>for medium settings 1080p with upscalingYou gotta be shitting me. So how much do you need for 1440p on high? 64 gigs? And what about consolefags? I guess they would get the premium experience - their PS5 would produce authentic jet engine noise during gameplay.
>>575614762base ps5 is 1080p60 in performance mode and 4k60 in quality mode
>>575614947Fuck I mean 4k30
>>575614947Base PS5 has 12 gigs of available RAM, 4k quality mode is gonna double as photo mode.
>>575614762see >>575518684
>>575614762Yeah I think it’s time to dust the air vents on my PS5. I don’t mind being locked to 1080p60 though, anything higher than that is pointless, especially if it’s on a TV across the room and not a monitor right in your face (but even then).
>>575615317I didn't because 16 was enough for me (and it still is, in any game not optimized like absolute horseshit), and it seems like I won't in the near future, because it's more expensive than CPUs these days.
>>575614762stop dooming tourist
>>575614762>>575614947>>575615120Consolefags winning as usual. Being autistic about PC specs and getting everything to work right was worthwhile when it was a consumer-oriented market and the manufacturers were making huge innovations. Unfortunately even consolefags have forgotten that games are sold as products and not licenses/subscriptions so AC8 will be one of the last physical Playstation titles ever sold.
>>575615317>don't point out how fucked things are, just BUY BUY BUY BUY CONSOOOOOOMyou are the disease killing everything that was once good
>those specs LMAOI'll see you guys in 2035-2040, maybe by then I'll have a PC capable of running the game.
>>575621041You can save up enough for one faster than that, I believe on you, I think you can buy one by december.
>>575621041Looks like used PS5s are currently going for ~$300~$400, according to ebay
>Ryzen 5600 (not even X)>6700XT>16GB DDR4How much money am I looking at to upgrade this just for fake frames 1080p medium settings which I hopw will look nice on my 1440p screen?
>>575586484kys faggot
>>575621041Or Idk go buy a PS5 and don't care anymore.>>575621947For that price I'd just get a new one less chance of that used one being near death or other questionable quality
>>575624175Tourist be gone
I'm gonna buy AC8 on my PC and on my series X (physical)
>>575534356None of this happened.
>spent the money that I was saving up for a new GPU on Gunpla Bandai owes me a discount.
>>575625064>For that price I'd just get a new one less chance of that used one being near death or other questionable qualityThat's fair. I just bring it up because some people are less price elastic than others and 50% more might be a dealbreaker. But even a new PS5 is only ~$600 depending on the store, and right now that money gets you maybe 2/3 of the RAM/CPU/GPU trio needed by modern games, let alone about fans and mobos and I/O if someone's rig is that outdated. Meanwhile fucking consoles are plug and play and come with a controller.
>>575626670I've seen massive amounts of pc and console wars over the years but never have I seen someone attempt to show the costs of needing a new console every few years + the high initial costs on PC and (traditionally) lower upgrading costs. I don't care much personally, since I'd need a PC either way
>>575627042different contexts though for a good 20 years or so building a PC was genuinely cheaper long term than buying a new console
>>575626670The thing is there is literally nothing else in the PS5 or Xbox catalogs I'd be interested in. I'm not gonna buy a console just for the one game.
>>575627302>different contexts thoughYeah I'm just saying that despite the decades of arguing I've witnessed I never once saw someone actually create a table; could even be separated on what brands you fanboy over
>>575627042>>575627504Eh, I play my shit on PC as well but it's just a different market now and even by this thread alone a good number of anons haven't/haven't been able to upgrade to keep up with this generation. Console generations are super long now (I genuinely don't think we'll see PS6/Xbox 5 any earlier than 2030, particularly since the hardware market is trash) and ever since September/October newer PC hardware has gotten very expensive and will likely remain so for the next couple of year least. But everything's also multiplatform these days (except the weirdos at Nintendo, bless them) meaning choosing a gaming box or powerful PC is basically just picking what big company you'd rather take your money and gambling on either how long a console or current PC hardware will be viable for.
Buddies I’m having a lot of trouble on mission 10 ragno fortress on ac #6 I keep crashing in the tunnels because I can’t see the architecture in time. Also why the hell can’t I get an s rank this game is challenging, it’s almost as masochistic as X. I don’t understand why anyone would play this schizophrenia simulator. I can barely understand what is happening to my allies.
For anyone thinking about getting it for ps5 or pc look at it like this, if you can play newer games or if you have a pc with a 3070 or above and if you have a decent enough cpu get ac8 on pc, if you still have a 10 series or early barely RT capable card and you won't or can't upgrade and you have a ps5? get the game on the ps5The console won't run the game at 4k, no it saying 4k does not make it 4k, just how you can play 4k on pc but the game renders 1080p and upscales it consoles do the same thing.The 32gb ram thing does not mean the game NEEDS 32gigs it means your system should have 32gigs but thats often overblown to fuck, most games say they need 32gigs but they run on 16 with minimal difference, I mean 1-5% at most and some games like cyberpunk have no difference at all.A 5060 or a 5070 will run the game, a 5070 is around 550€ for europistan and around 650$ in burgerland, you can go for a 40 series or the amd equivalent card if you can find one but those are more expensive generallyLook at the end of the day if you have a 1080p or a 1440p monitor a 600€ card will do well for you, yes that does mean upscaling but that is a battle we lost years ago. If you own a 1440p ultrawide or a 4k and 4k ultrawide screen you are fucked, you are a slave to the price of the hardware because those resolutions are just too much.A good x3d CPU will kill the game, get a cheaper 7800x3d and you are still golden.
>>575630652>I don’t understand why anyone would play this schizophrenia simulatorsome of us are in it for the fun, not to meet arbitrary rank stats for an award that means nothing
>>575628974>bless themfuck no
>>575630652Beat the game with like 2 missions not being S ranks first try just by doing this simple trick.Fly fast, rocket launchers are op as fuck and cover a lot of ground, you can use the dpad to change your current operation and that will allow you to focus on your mission targets, each operation you clear will grade you, getting 2 S ranks beats clearing 4 ops with B or A ranks.Don't be stupid like me and HOLD the Dpad up or down to use the allied assault move thing, they target everything in your screen and kill a decent amount of targets.Focus on one or two at a time at most. The tunnels are quite easy just go in slow and low and you will be able to do it ace.
>>575630756I'll probably get some form of 9070 or 9070XT sometime next month since they're cheaper than 5070s from what I've seenCPU upgrade would be nice too but in my case that would mean a new motherboard and new RAM too, it's just getting a whole new fucking computer at that point
>>575631039Oh and also before I do any of that I probably should replace my almost 11 year old PSU too lmao
>>575630652Switch to HUD mode and fly in them at base speed you'll be fine.>S rankYou don't have to do it on your first run in 6 getting all S doesn't unlock or do anything its just something to do. If you think it gives you skins like in 7 or unlocks planes like in Zero it doesn't Just play have fun you can S rank it later.Just so you know you don't have to do that sub mission you can skip it and do others the level will still progress once you meet the required number of submissions complete.
>>575631039Yeah those were more popular where I live so the prices went up while the nvidia cards slowly trended down a bit so you can get a 5070 for 100$ cheaper at times depends on the model and shit but a 5060 12gb or a 5070 will run the game without any issues It just depends on the performance at launch, the previews seemed fine, a 5080 ran 4k native from what someone said, compared to some games that require a 5080 for 1080p its fine. Its going to perform worse than we want but better than expected at this point.
>>575631284Not having a 1000watt or better PSU in 2026anon come on now you can do better
Imagine being a WW2 veteran airman, the most powerful thing you've flown is a P-51 or 47, and one day you sit in an F-86 and go balls to the wall and you watch the speedometer go and go and go
>>575632112620W was overkill when I first built this PC in early 2016 and it was still more than enough when I upgraded itI'm not worried about power, I'm worried about it being old and maybe shitting itself some day soon
>>575632120>The grin doesn't leave your face for days nor does the erection
>>575632112the quality of a psu has nothing to do with the watts just like the quality of a digital camera has nothing to do with megapixels
>>575632120it would still be impressive but wouldnt that pilot also have flown a f-80 before though
>>575632292Its 11 years old and doesn't have enough power for a game that will run your system at close to full power. It will break and it will shut your system off from can't draw enough power.
>>575632120>On 23 May 1943, Galland flew an early prototype of the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter. After the flight, he described his experience; "It was as though angels were pushing."
>>575632939Now imagine that guy got transported to current year and flew any current year jets>what the fuck do you mean I went full throttle and suddenly I was doing supersonic at 35k feet before my balls could adapt to the thrust
>>575630983Alright buddy I will try again tomorrow. I really did not expect 6 to be this much of a learning curve. I think my biggest problem so far is destroying a bunch of green enemies and all the local red enemies and still getting a b rank on the equivalent operation in the in-game pause menu. I’ll figure it out one day.
>>575634237Just use your gun and RKT special weps they delete green targets in seconds, rockets cover so much terrain in insta death that they make a lot of the ground based missions so much fun, a single strafing run can delete an entire blockade of greens fucking up your allies. Also you can go pass the fortress and kill the power plants, dunno what it does to be honest but they say some shit about the power going down and base defences dying on them so that might help.
>>575630831Yeah I’ve been having that thought more and more recently with many games. Just want the experience and not the arbitrary bullshit. So far 6 has been really challenging. It’s very far away from 3, trinity, 7, X, and “2”3DS. But thankfully not as shit as ASSWHOREtm. The music is great and it sort of seems like a greatest hits collection from the trinity even though it’s all new tracks. X is sill the most difficult (gay) and 3 is literally all weird circumstantial clear requirements.We shall see what the future holds for Emmeria and Estovakia. Aigaion was piss easy just like mission 1 and 2 were.
Hope you already bought your gpus fellow banditsToday they got even more expensive
>>575642094The fuck happened this time
>>575642094what now
>>575642528>>575642617Maybe a PS5 really is the thinking man's optionhttps://wccftech.com/nvidia-hikes-graphics-card-prices-for-the-third-time-this-year-and-by-up-to-30-as-distributors-enter-panic-mode/
>>575642094I have to go overseas soon so the only way I could do this is shitty laptop gaming, please don't tell me they got more expensive too
>>575643537>Hardware>RumorNo not yet look at the image
>>575642094>boughtyou think way too highly of me
>>575644303why are you black
>>575642094I have simply accepted the fact that I am not the target audience for this series anymore, and that's fine.
>>575644502still way too highlya black person would still have the talents and means to acquire a good gpu
>>575642094>kept my series x after moving to pc back in 2023I won
>>575642935At this point I'm just gonna be running 2nd hand GPUs from people with upgradeitis when a new generation launches for the rest of my life.
>>575644995That’s a pro gamer strat.
We're gonna be fineyou'll seeonce denuvo is removed, the requirements will drop.Also Nvidia and amd just lost a whole lot of ai investors like an hour ago, they'll come back to us soon enough.
Looks like a flight got canceled and the tourist got stuck here for longer than usual.
>>575645383>once denuvo is removedHow long will that take?
>>575645383why would they remove denuvo when the multiplayer is going to be a significantly more important aspect of the lifecycle with 8 this time around>>575645681they removed denuvo from 7 after a year iirc
>>575644648It's worse than that, gaming as a whole has abandoned you and left you in the dust. Try to run literally any indie itchio game, you simply can't anymore. At this point killing yourself is self-improvement
>>575645383>Also Nvidia and amd just lost a whole lot of ai investors like an hour ago, they'll come back to us soon enough.For real or are you just pulling this out of your ass? It's time to smack Nvidia back to reality anyway
>>575645996I really don't see the multiplayer being active for a long time, niche as it is, unless it improves by a lot. And no, Bamco actually giving their full attention to it isn't assuring, its quite possibly the contrary.
When I was a kid I watched battle of the x-planes, and since the I thought the f-35 was the coolest ever.Was I groomed?
Buddies the only way we can truly vote and have any voice regarding the issue, is to vote with our wallet. Wait for some gameplay footage a week after release and make a decision. Bandai namco will react accordingly to our small and insignificant community. Don’t be tempted by Belkan FOMO. Give it a while, and make an informed decision. The consumer is the voice of market correction.
I think drones are COOL
>>575648680Nah, you were just a passionate kid. Make your dream a reality buddy, and fly the plane you want to. Whatever game it may be.
>>575648680No you just chose wisely
>>575648779too late, i've long since bought the fancy artbook and vinyl editiongot my 5080 at msrp last november btw
I might just test it out with a pirated copy before buying but>denuvohow long will it take for it to crack?
>>575648784They aren't X-9's but they'll do nicely
>>575648779ive seen enough raw gameplay footage, have heard enough 2nd hand testimonials from neutral third parties to be fully convinced 8 will be one of the better entries in the franchise, if not the best from a pure mechanical perspective. therefore, ive spent the beaucoup zollars for the big dick preorder.
>>575649180What do you mean too late? You already voted. You made your decision. You can be at peace with that, and everyone else can accept than a buddy made a decision.5080 at msrp sounds nice, I check microcenter every now and then.
>>575648779The sooner you accept that the average gamer is just cattle that deserves to be milked for profit, the sooner you can stop wasting your time making these posts.
>>575649541Then you can be content in that decision and be one of the lucky buddy club members to experience the game near release. And yes from what it sounds like, the game will be amazing. Promises a lot and shows a lot, and will undoubtedly show more soon.
>>575648779What are you crazy? or just nuts? All the regular poster here not the tourist that have flooded the thread this week mind you have already preordered the game the day it was up for order. We are ready for it either on PC/PS5 & those very few who have an Xbox.>Thinking people in the ace combat general are going to wait for a game they've been waiting for nearly 6 yearsYeah your nuts & crazy at the same time.
>>575650067NTA but I preordered but then refunded it because that specs scares me, I might have to wait for now. Wish they'd release a demo for us to test it out before buying.
>>575648779>vote with your wallet>bamco react accordingly>small and insignificant communitycant understand why they are taking your post seriously but guess its just way too advanced shitposting by this point
>>575650291The min specs are for a rig 10 years old surely you aren't on a potato older than that?Do you not have a PS5 or Xbox?
>>575650613nope, best I got is a PS4 and I rarely used it nowadays
>>575650613does min spec = game is barely playable? I'm honestly fine with the game just being playable or at least doesn't kill my eyes.
>>575650667Then sell it and use that to buy a 5 along with 8 its backwards compatible you can play all your games you had for the 4 on it.
>>575650067I have been one of the first posts in this thread reacting to 8's announcement but still holded getting the preorder until I could see the specs and gameplay footage. My machine is on the minimum specs so I still go my doubts, not everyone discussing about the game's predicted performance, one using UE5 by the way, is a le tourist doomer you know.
>>575650897>Then sell it and use that to buy a 5 along with 8 its backwards compatibleI might have to do this once the high spec game starts rolling out, I'm going to miss the mods though
>>575648779???Friend Project Aces isn't some infamous dev team. They're a bunch of plane autists who've been making roughly the same flavor of game for the past couple of decades but with newer graphics each time, all mostly targeted for the current Sony console with PC releases only for the 3 newest entries. Gamers who've been outpaced by the current hardware market are literally not their target audience.
>>574987141>thread 1112>Not using the Aigaion as the thread imageFix it next time, OP man. next thread is #1113 Kottos
heheplane game fun
>>575651001You can find shittons of gameplay footage from all the people they had play and post it to YT. You can see the min and rec specs now.Your machine can do min then your fine you got nothing to worry about.
>>575646460Luckily for me I still have a bunch of older games I can enjoy, and I can even run some modern indie releases. I'm sure by the time I've finished playing most games released before 2020 that I want to play I'll have saved up enough money to get a PC that can play AC8.
>>575651436Didn't really think about it was just keeping with the Hornet theme I've been going with.Might as well>Not any cool images of itSomeone wanna fire up 6 take a Hornet and do a cool shot with Kottos and I'll use that otherwise it'll either be a group shot or a dull image of it.
Project Wingman kickstarter art book status?
>>575653007never everdawn aerowar has more recent news than the pw artbook
>>575652153I hope so buddy. I get that complaining about performance without the game even being released can annoy the more capable people that planned better but I honestly do it out of concern. I love Ace Combat and missing its biggest release yet would really suck.
I'm not super concerned, supposedly all the preview footage so far was taken in performance mode which looks really good already
>>575656125performance mode means the minimum spec performance, right?
>>575656357Yes it does, what you see in the gameplay footage is what it looks like at min settings.
>>575653007the guy is too busy shitting on ace combat on his twitter
>>575648680>I thought the f-35 was the coolest ever.I still do, am I doomed?
>>575648779I get your point but I wanted the game they give out with it as a preorder bonus
>>575653007Read the fan made one
>>575663398>can't think of any other way to play zeroyou are so much their target demographic its making my head hurt
Is AC3 the only game with true branching path and multiple endings?AC5 had the coin flip missions, but its still linear.AC0 had the rep system, but thats just who you fight, not mission changes.And AC7 is, nada.
>>575665204this is the only way to get ACZ remastered, no? I don't think you can even buy remastered AC5 anymore in snoystation.
>>575665204I could, but I like the convenience and I want them to continue with PC releases
>>575665284X
>>575642935this world will never be fixed because we as a society lack the balls to do what needs to be done and murder a lot of CEOs and set fire to a lot of thingswe lost this war
>>575671929>ceos and infrastructure are the root cause of evilyou're literally retarded, thank god you don't do anything
>>575672728obviously their jew masters need to go too
The new briefing theme is looping in my head
>>575665313>ACZ remastered,LAMOBuddy umm about that neither 5 or Zero are remasters they are 100% the base PS2 game as is and put into an emulator. PA uses almost identical upscale settings to what everyone uses for emulation, complete with adding an HD HUD >5You could never buy AC5 it like Zero is the preorder bonus
>>575599947You mean better?
>>575692952think the piratefags would even bother cracking ACZ for PC? I'd rather have it click to play than setting up PCSX2 all the time
