THE SOULS OF THE DEAD ARE COMING TOGETHER LIKE THE PIECES OF A PUZZLE
I didn't look at the achievements to avoid any spoilers but are there any nonsense ones on there like there were in 7
>>582302357thanks baker
strange that the AC Zero port has achievements as well
>>582302824not really, 5 had achievements too
>>582302670happy to help buddy
What if AC8 is bad?
>>582303126Impossible as this point. We've seen enough. It only gets better from here.
>>582303126I can't see how it could be worse than 7 and that was enjoyable enough to sustain this thread for the better part of a decade.
>>582302513None. No multiplayer achievements either. Seems like it'll be very easy to get all of them without even trying.Seems like they're repeating that weird thing where there's an achievement for finishing the last mission and a separate achievement for finishing every mission, which is stupid because it's impossible to get one without the other. But that's a pretty easy to ignore stupid.
>>582303126the only way for it to be bad is to have something like DFM and those awful helicopter missions
>>582303126I hated many of the missions in 7, so I'll still play it.
I demand early GRL planes in Theve
He was obviously skilled enough to be an actual Double Ace, yet kept running away?
>>582303696He was trying to get a Big Boss no kill rank
>>582303696He was on his gun only run and couldn't get any good angles
>>582303696Hard to use your weapons without a wepons systems officer(wso).
okay so if people have the game already, can't you just extract the soundtrack so I can get through next week?
>>582304709no
>they chose THAT mission set in THAT location to use the Art of Aircraft music the leakertran has the only increased my hype. leaks have been limited and tasteful
>>582305156Not only that, the guitars are going crazier due to the dyanmic music implementation compared to the trailer
I wonder what the memorials for the Belkan War and Lighthouse War look like.

Can we use Stonehenge to take down their satellite?
>>582307142It's pretty clear we're going to use the space elevator, before it gets knocked, to get a team up and take the satellite
>>582307142I imagine the Spear is well shielded if it can operate in low earth orbit after it's been kessler'd in AC7(Unless LEO has been cleaned like it was after the ulysses disaster, but they'd new laser debris cleaning system like the Arkbird... wait a minute...)
>>582307142Here's issue, Stonehenge is stolen by Sotoa
>>582310925Of course They thought of everything!Damn sotoans
WE ARE SO BACK
>>582311260Not bad at all

No stutters, I wonder if it was weaker machine though.
Watching MarcoMeatballs review on Ace Combat 8 and what the fuck do you mean the chill polo shirt guys name is "Seversky"
>>582312452https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve-review/Reviewed on a 6600xt. Very minor drops during 1st person cutscenes or giant explosipns.At 1440p.
>biggest Polish gaming outlet gave AC8 9/10>peak of the series that isn't afraid to try new things>only major complaints are the silent protagonist and novice controls making the game way too easy>apparently you can "double kill" by making destroyed enemy planes crash into still flying ones
>>582312620is that around RTX3060?
>>582312514Probably old footage, when last name of Tasha was Seversky.
>>582312784Its not, because he was speaking during the cutscene
>>582312703Around fucking RTX 2060 Super
>>582312620
I didn't expect the reviews to be this good. Not that it was ever going to change my preoder (unless it was a technical disaster) but it's nice to see.
Hmm I'm a little worried about my 3080 at 1440p. I just don't trust them to optimize the game that well after all these years. Obviously I can just drop settings but I want the pretty game.
>>582313351see >>582312620

>>582313150>Macross-esque climaxSo we're gonna teach ayy lmaos about how cool music and sex is and the Endurance is going to transform into a giant robot?
>>582313595sounds perfect
>>582313150>>582313595I mean the ending of 7 was basically Macross Plus.
>>582313595I think they prefer to be called Sotoans
>>582313217I expected it. AC7 was reviewed well enough. AC8 would've been a step up in almost every way. No chance critics would sneer at that.
>>582313150>Tasha badly singing Do You Remember Love at the hanger karaoke concert while being bullied by the cat crew
>>582313150LeakGOD proven right yet again.
>>582314615I was expecting a step up but only to 85 at most, this is being reviewed at the same level as something like the new FE which is crazy to me.
>>582312452>I used a PC with the most powerful consumer grade hardware available and the performance was goodYeah I'd be pretty worried if performance wasn't good on that kind of machine

Obvious
Is it worth to buy 8 just for 0 on Steam?
>>582314829goddamit why did I click this fuck fuck fuck you
>>582314829To be fair it was kind of obvious.
>>582314829is this an actual spoiler or a scene where Rex reads Strangereal twitter schizposts?
I don't normally buy games at launch but feel I need to with this to get the AC0 remaster.
>>582314829Good reminder to bail the fuck out of anything AC related till I get my hands on the game, but if this is true it barely even feels like a spoiler. Seemed like a relatively obvious twist.
>>582314874Watch gameplay of the Zero port in the 3rd Info Bureau video (it's under the "Live" section of the Ace Combat channel) to see if it looks worth it to you.
To the "Tasha is gonna die" schizolol, lmao
Must not... click... spoiler...
>>582315179Actual spoiler
>>582315782I already said itIt was gonna be either Tasha or Professor, Tasha because of the emotional impacet, Professor because he's black
>Things we already knewI'm waiting for real spoilers
Thank you for having some trigger discipline with the spoilers, buddies. See you all next week I guess.
>>582315782The LRSSG regularly rotated pilots, it tells us nothing.I'll admit that it's possible both Professor and Tasha die.
Hopefully we get to see the full plane list soon if everyone's posting everything.>>582316181That's not what trigger discipline means.
No seriously where are the real spoilers, what the fuck is the ending
>>582313415Interesting! I look forward to being able to see how they make metal bleed.
Look who's back.
>>582313150they already did do you remember love in ac5 though
>>582317225clearly AI
>>582317225Sorry I can't open spoilers anymore

Are you really turning the thread into a minefield?
>>582318830>Saying that as soon as someone set one offIs it a minefield if there are no mines (left)
lollmao
>liked by criticsyou realize this is a red flag, right?
>>582318830reminder to everyone that its the internet. if you want to avoid spoilers in your cereal then the only thing you can do is leave.
Seems like the plane-list leaks were correct. Kinda disappointing. Hopefully AC0 adds more that we can then use in campaign.
>>582319130I must have missed that, post it in a spoiler tag
I trust PSX Brazil
AC7 might end up getting mogged in the eyes of history because of this, unfortunately.
>>582319035Welp, pack it up lads. The series has always sucked because it was liked by critics.
>>5823200827's job was to revive the series, it made its mark
>>582319035Sometimes critics like things I likeIt's a meaningless metric
>>5823200827 pulled the series back on track after AssHor and Infinity.
>>582320358Notice how Air Combat isn't on here? Phoenixbros keep winning
>>582320358>Zero and X below Assault HorizonWhat the FUCK
>>582320696AssHor was made for the ball and gun gamer crowd of the 360 era. Turns out most reviewers are basically just retarded and tasteless.

>>582321602>return of DFM
>>582320305Finished my Ace run of AC6, and while I really like it I feel like I understand/appreciate 7 way more now.>large scale battles are rad but most missions felt like the same "blow up air/ground/air+ground targets">7 used gimmick missions for gameplay variety>large maps added more "down time" spent trekking to/from return lines>smaller maps again means less traveling again>Nimbus drone AOEs refined into Helios AOEs, which better telegraph when they're safe to approach or not>easily avoidable AA gets buffed in 7 making enemy AA/ships more threatening>visual effects while in an ESM zone, not just a number or minimap in the corners of the HUD>Erusean drones have more predictable/less bullshit flight than Estovakian drones>Allied Assault/Wingman AI was probably on the rework list but likely were dropped due to troubled production>TRIGGER DO EVERYTHING even though allies regularly hit things in 7>overtuned gun got nerfed in 7>high MSL and SPW counts on even the F-16 make late game planes less impactful>7 lowered ammo count and added the parts system to highlight progression even more>UGBs split into UGBs/UGBLs as a nerf but now they're either sad low blast radius or sad low ammo count>6introduces checkpoints>7 lets you restart from checkpoints in the pause menu>checkpoints and overly generous timer made S-ranks more about patience than skill, because no matter how many times you die you can just respawn and run up the score>7's S-Ranks heavily emphasize time, respawns add to your counter>even with checkpoints, 7's tech tree gives more incentive to play better to earn more creditsHonestly I think 6 is even easier than 7, because while 6's enemies will kill you far more often there's less punishment for dying and your planes are far more powerful. I played Expert and Ace with only the F-16 just to keep things interesting. Also didn't know where to put this but fuck Malebolges, it's bullshit to have to kill at least 15 of them to get an S rank.
I can't take it anymore I need to play this game
>A.It's Alexandra, innit?
>>582320358>88Don't worry, even truly mediocre shit gets ~85 nowadays. So 88 today is actually just ~80.
Any reviews by someone who knows what they're fucking talking about? I don't mean typical slop, I can already tell based on the trailers that I will have fun with this one and I'm a series vet - I'm talking about feedback like the jets handling heavier than 7 (more akin to AC3, I guess?), for example.
>>582319035we deserve better bait
>>582321442>UGBHoly shit I might actually use the Peace Eagle this time.
Oh so this is Tasha's dad

>>582322529I feel like it's the exact same shit, at least by the looks of it. I mean it's UE5, so I don't expect much other than higher fidelity graphics.
>>582322286Most likely Anastasiya, because you get Natasha from that, and Tasha from that. You can't get Tasha from Aleksandra unless you swap letters.

>>582322529Chole, Jarboe, and Marco reviews went live when the embargo lifted. ACF, Sly, and Oboe probably aren't far behind.
>>582322529https://www.pcgamer.com/games/action/ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve-review/PC Gamer review is almost certainly the first LeakTran
>>582322917FUCK I’m punching the fuck out for 72h.
>>582323087Hm, maybe. Her dad supposedly has the same name. So I thought...
I should've become an ace combat content creator.
>>582323481He is Nikolai, not Aleksandr.
>>582323862I had the same thought
>>582323869I meant that this guy's dad name was Nikolai. Same as Tasha's. That's why I assumed her name to be that.
>>582322917Finally got a name for the new superplane.This isn't really a spoiler, it's just "you unlocked the Sotoa skin for the _____". But I'll mark it as a spoiler just in case I guess.
>mission 29I had to stop watching because holy FUARK there's some good stuff awaiting me on Monday
/v/ has a couple new resident schizos, hope they don’t come over to shit up the thread when it releases
So to sum it up>30 missions ranging anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes>chaos in comms>missions are well designed>the music delivers>the story is...there's a story and it's supposedly not worse than 7Sounds like it's gonna be aight.
I don't believe gaming journos, like at allBut if my boy says this, every shadow of doubt has been lifted
>>582324518Gamergate era mentality. Independent content creators are held to a far lower standard than a writer who has to answer to an editorial board.
>>582320358a 7 is a flop
>>582324742idk bro Marco was a casual that picked up the series during covid, he is also genuinely passionate about the series idk how people on 4chan always feel the need to be huge pessimistic contrarians, especially in a general thread about something we all came here to discuss
My controller fucking died yesterdayWhat controller should I get for this? this is the only game I care about now.
>>582324742I trust professional reviewers thanks to this post
Calling it right now. You make your own avatar and then you die and at the end somebody from your squad (or that Gay Tony looking guy) salutes your grave MGS3 style and the grave has the name of your avatar inscribed on it.
>>582324518Wow he really liked it
>>582324742Different anon but I like independent randos because it's easier to research their previous reviews and after a few videos/articles you get a good idea of their biases. The reviewers IGN or Kotaku or whatever use are unlikely to have been the same ones to review the last entry in the series so I have no idea what preconceptions they have. I'll trust the major gaming rads to accurately report stories more than random youtubers, but I find random youtubers are more useful for game reviews because you can find ones who share similar tastes to yours.
>>582325058I'll shill the 8bitdo controllers. Hall Effect or TMR joysticks, bumper pads, connects to PS5/Xbox/Switch/PC/Android/iOS, bluetooth or USB-C connection, USB-C battery pack or can swap to AAs, can choose between Xbox flavor with the Ultimate controller or Playstation/Super Nintendo with the Pro controller. Had this one for over two years now with no issues.
>>582325027PC? Probably Gamesir/8bitdo/flydigi8bitdo or gamesir for the simple stuff. Plus you can get it on amazon before mondayFlydigi if you want a controller that has extra buttons and be customizable.Just make sure you buy one with hall effect sticks
>full playthroughs are already uphttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXLuHSATuu8Beware
>>582325058I have some chinkshit controller that was like $12 on amazon, I only use controller for this game and forza so I’m not gonna shell out for something super fancy
>>582326476>12 hours longHopefully this game has some branching paths like 3I will be sad if it only takes 12 hours to fully beat the game
>>582324742I know Marco, for me he's not only an "indipendent content creator"I know his journey, how he experienced ace combat and how he feels about the saga as a whole. If he says is good, i'll surely be good, at least for me>>582325402Yup, so happy about it and the Hype is over the roof now
>>582325058If it's a good controller, buy the same one from amazon. When the package arrives, put the old one in the package and send it back, and get reimburseddid it plenty of times
>>582325058>>582326256I'm seconding 8bitdo controllers, haven't used mine a whole lot 'cause I bought it for switch games but it feels great. Sticks are solid, dpad and buttons are good, and it costs like $30. I'll be playing 8 with my dualsense though.
the playthrough video got DMCAed in real time rofl
>>582326991I don't know how experienced that guy is. I haven't seen the vid yet. But first playthroughs usually take like 7 or so hours, provided you've played these games before.
>>582312514Wait, is he Tasha's DAD?
>>582327645dropped a JDAM on top of em
>>582327645Weird, it's still up for me. I guess I shouldn't refresh the page.
>>582317225Okay which one is it this time, Usean or Osean?
I feel like we're gonna have a fucking wild ride with 9 and 10 if this does really well.
>>582327870Well, she's Yuktobanian and it's supposed to be the SU but they're referencing a pre-SU era pilot and the whole area has like 666 ethnicities so it makes sense?
>>582324742>a writer who has to answer to an editorial board.Gamergate was right about journalists.
>>582326476I looked at the description before it got taken down and it said they captured the gameplay on PS5 Pro at 4K 60. So I’m assuming that the base PS5 would only be able to hit 30 when playing in 4K?
For me, it's...
>>582328363Most likely. Doubt standard PS5s can do real 4K to begin with, let alone in UE5 games. The PC reqs are fucking crazy for the performance/quality you supposedly get.
>>582327914I've got the video open in mpv and it's still working.
>>582328408>>582303696I like how Kate and Jan look equally dead inside.
>>582328653I have it open in another tab but I've yet to watch anything. Just checked and clicked some random missions and it seems to still be working for me.
>Purple Magic Takes FlightDo these mission names sounds /m/ to you?
I think this might be another case of overblown PC requirements. Still no non-RT GPU support though. That said, some games that were made to only work with RT capable cards have been able to be made to work with non-RT GPUs, the last Indiana Jones game for example, I wouldn't put money on it, but it's possible that something similar might be done with AC8.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57MxplKwOuQ
<<SUPERPLANE SPOILERS>>thoughts on the nu plane?
>>582329358I don't think it's ugly, peculiar, sure, but not ugly.

>>582329358its lame as fuck. its just the raven but it somehow looks even worse. really boring.
>>582329561yes, I'll post frames once I'm finished downloading the playthrough video
>>582329358huwaito reiben...
>>582329358You can see the ADF-11F to X-49 pipeline.Can anyone download the 12h gameplay video and post it again?
>>582329358I'm sorry guys but I genuinely really like it
Any report on how this runs on base PS5?
>>582329814Bruh....
>>582329358I like it! What are the weapons?
>>582329814I'm 59% through downloading it at 1440p, I'll post it once it's done
Finishing AC6 for the first time before 8 comes out. Am I just getting too old or is the game kinda overwhelming? Don't get me wrong, I adore the scale of missions, but sometimes there's just a lot of shit on my screen at once.
>>582329909It cuts anything it touches.
>>582328408Kono, you need to take a nap or something man
>>582329992you're supposed to crutch pretty hard on the allied attack, combined with how bad regular missile homing is when fired outside of the <<SHOOT>> state you'll be relying on your buddies to help clean up a lot of the stuff on screen
>>582320082Good. It's vastly overrated by newcomers.
>>582329358Dammit it's ugly.
>>582328408I swear I've seen her before in some film or tv. You know what I'm saying?
>>582329358Looks about the same as Hugin/Munin desu.
>>582329992Did the same, I'm >>582321818. After the first run the magic kind of wears off, there's a lot of TGTs but Allied Attacks will wipe out large swaths of your screen and you get 5 of them per completed objective. Shamrock is also really active, give him a good A2A SpW and he'll make good use of it. UGBs are also simply amazing that on my first run on Hard I didn't even bother using anything without them since there's always almost always ground TGTs to farm.
>>582324518>>582325402well yea its his livelihood to like things.
>>582329358Even the good superplanes are overdesigned as fuck so I'm not surprised at this
>>582329358Grunder's at it again.That shape, though; it's approaching something like the Night Raven.
Alright, it seems i should get off this thread for the next 4 days
>>58233035904 & 7 are the most influential games in the series thoughbeit.
>>582329358I assume it's a Sotoan native aircraft given the roundels?
>>582330304Yeah, I caught on to using allied attack pretty quick. It hurts my brain to not be trying to nuke the entire map as a one man war crime.>how bad regular missile homing is when fired outside of the <<SHOOT>> stateI'm fairly sure at least 60% of my air to air kills are with the gun, the missiles in general just behave differently from the rest of the series. They kinda remind me of 3's missiles with their schizo flight paths.>>582330626Yeah, the ugbs are shockingly good. I've spent most of the game using allies to kill air while decimating the poor ground forces. I probably won't have time to do an ace playthrough before 8 comes out but I can tell I'd have play even safer than 4 on ace.
>>582330810why are people saying it's approaching the night raven? it looks nothing alike
>>582330734Nosferatu is pretty basic looking. Nothing really stands out on it. Other than the weapons.
In other /buddy/ news the Tiberian Sons literally just fucking unveiled some Ace Combat themed merch and announced another Ace Combat cover albun releasing in a few weeks. I wonder if it was sheer coincidence or they had a heads up on when the embargo was gonna lift.
>>582331097double decker flying wing-ish arrangement. it's obviously not 1:1, but some of the principles are there.
Alright buddies, you guys who've seen the playthrough, give it to me straight, do we see Dision or any big references to GR or something AC3 related
>>582328963Okay yeah, this mission is so /m/. I can see why someone would compare this with Macross.
I just buyeded AC8Do I still get PCZero?
>>582329358GOD DAMN that is ugly. I didn't think PA could make something worse than the Raven, but this somehow manages to top it.
>>582331731It's spelled boughted thoughbeit
>>582331768yeah they're trying too hard on the designs. its starting to fall into that classic "just put random edges on it and griebling all over the place" trap that all other sci-fi defaults to.
>>582332167Don't lectern me on English buddy
>>582331731Pre-orders before the actual October release date get you Zero.
Any chance we get some retarded shit like Neucom aircrafts or even the ADF-01? Would be cool.
>>582331548I don't know anything about 8 but General Resource is in the DLC missions for 7. Actually I think there are more references than that in the other games.
>>582332671seems totally unlikely for the campaign. future battle passes are going to milk your cock dry to make you get it that way (even though a lot more series fictionals should be in the campaign unlocks by fucking now)
>>582299884Buddy, I DO have a 3600 eurobucks PC more like 4k because lol part prices. The issue lies in living in the middle of fucking nowhere, Piedmont with no fiber. Can't even use 5G since there's no fucking signal either, it's actually worse than my 15 Mb/s landline.
>>582332671Probably DLC. I just want the XFA-27 again, playing 2, 3, and 7's online made me appreciate just being able to spam vanilla missiles.
>>582332808>even though a lot more series fictionals should be in the campaign unlocks by fucking nowYou see, they COULD do that, but they could also just charge you money for it.
has any of the reviewers confirm the game couldn't launch on 1660?
>>582333249It will most likely throw you an error similar to this one>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYeCLhQIU0wYour best bet is hoping somebody will find a way to modify something to make it run on non-RT cards, which funnily enought they have done for the game in the video
>>582332671Neucom aircraft would be kino.Hopefully we get almost everything from 3 since it's a live service.
>>582333456>Neucom aircraft would be kino.Dolphins?
>>582332671I want the delphinus so bad it's unreal. Would be kino fictional aircraft DLC.
>>582333391>Your best bet is hoping somebody will find a way to modify something to make it run on non-RT cards, which funnily enought they have done for the game in the videothere better be, the RTX 2070 requirement is the sole reason why I didn't pre-order it even with the Zero PC port offer
>>582333391hold up, someone managed to make Great Circle running on GTX 1660? how?
>>582332167geboughteerd, rather
>>582329358I actually dont hate it that much - just wish it was an opportunity for something different than the ADF-11 which I wasn't a huge fan of anyway.You can see the gap between the ADF-11 - this plane and the nightraven.The top growing a bigger wing over time to eventually be the dual wing design for the nightwing and geopelia as we go into Ace Combat 3's rough timeline is a nice touch.Just wish it was slicker
>>582333391even if someone gets the game running on a non RTX card, such a card would be so old and shitty it would struggle to run the game at any decent resolution and framerate anyway
>R5 5600X>3060 12gb>16gb ramHaha… I’ll be able to run it right? Right???
>>582335034Run? Yes.Fly though....
>>582334517Not sure if there's an fix for the 1660 but through Linux and a bunch of strange workarounds they have managed to make it work with RX5000 series GPUs, which does not support hardware raytracing, and by default the game doesn't run on it, there's a video showing it here >>582328994
Is the harrier in the game from the leaked aircraft list?(Also does anyone have the leaked list)
>>582334794its really lazy isn't it. i suspect this isn't going to be a big hit with the fans at large.
>>582335157Would upgrading my ram be the key for it? rams here is $180 compared to other places, DDR4 32gb that is
>>582335376Prioritize your GPU first.CPU second.16gbs isn't that bad.
>>582335307Ironically I think it actually looks better than the Raven desu.The raven just felt like the Falken but wider - this on its own feels more unique at least even if ugly.HOWEVER - that would be with the caveat that we hadn't just had the raven as the final boss of 7. I don't mind so much as I expect more planes to come via the new multiplayer stuff - but would've loved to see the Fenrir again, given its absence in the DLC of 7.
Has any reviewer talked aboud pc performance?
>>582335263NPC exclusive aircraft once again. I saw it in gameplay footage during takeoff, but it's not in the roster. PA hates the Harrier for some reason.
>>582335791Aw that fuckin sucks - I got my hopes up on the gameplay footage
In even more /buddy/ adjacent news figure company Alter is rereleasing models of the Super Sylph and Mave from Yukikaze. At this rate there's gonna be a god damn Macross announcement or something in the next week.
I thought Cope was a fraud. Just watched the intro and the dude can fucking fly.
>>582336443Cope was a good pilot, but it's clear he's just an NPC Ace and not a divine wrath of God giga-pilot who can singlehandedly turn the tide of war.
>>582336386If the game actually ends up having better performance than expected, as a poorfag you might be better off holding off on spending 70 bucks on the game and spending that or a bit more on a used RX6400, and pirate the game instead, assuming it gets cracked. With that GPU you might be able to still get 30FPS as long as you turn everything to minimum.
I'm on mission 3.
>>582336749Thank you
Some review said Tasha is a teenager. Guess she won't be Rex's waifu. Katebros won.
>>582336907Didn't stop Dr. Schroeder
>>582335914What scale? I've been wanting a model of the Mave for YEARS.
>>582331548GR is mentioned in the ending cutscene as having bought Enso’s assets after it was dissolved. Aside from that all the references are more implicit, like Expo City getting blown up so it can be rebuilt with the 3 architecture and the superplane being an intermediate step between the Raven and the Night Raven. No Dision.
I'm gonna Theve
>>582335617Isn’t a 3060 12gb more than enough to play AC8? Pretty sure I can tweak down the settings, or does that not work anymore?
>>582335710"The only time the game dropped under 60 fps was during larger-than-average explosions.I am not the guy to do an in-depth graphical analysis......with these settings, I did notice that some of the ground textures were shockingly bad."- oboeshoegames1080p, V-Sync Onhttps://youtu.be/6beCcyTpKAY?t=866I've seen some chatter about other reviews that mention performance,from both videos and write-ups.
>>582337618Dunno. On paper it should be fine but it's UE5 which is heavy on both cpu and gpu.
Does Yes/No affect the story or missions at all?
>>582315542Looks only slightly better but probably worth it because of Steam's convenience + cloud save. Still weighing ifs value over a sale like 7's though. 7 was so fucking cheap and had Top Gun planes + all 3 DLC missions + music player.
>>582338649In AC5? There's two instances where it decides which mission you get next.
>>5823373161/100, so it'll be 18cm long. Here's a review/showcase of the same model but from 2014, when it was last released: youtu.be/PD8k4-24lG0Be warned that it's rather expensive and buyfagging shit from Japan has been pretty expensive for a few years now so add like $50-$70 for international shipping.
I'm thinking it's gonna be peak
>>582326476That was painful to watch. I stopped at mission 7 where he keeps shooting missiles into cave depots from above instead of the entrance. I have a feeling this will be another filter mission like Long Day.
>>582339323>Be warned that it's rather expensive and buyfagging shit from Japan has been pretty expensive for a few years nowWell acquainted with that, believe me.
>>582335914hell yeahhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3pGXuI2hjI
>>582339541He's not a knower that's for sure, Doesn't seem to know you can hold triangle to help yourself adjust either.
Tuxbros... I don't feel so good...
>>582339963Yeah you can definitely tell. Still, props for using expert controls for his first time playing AC.
>>582340114vibecoding a fix shouldn't be hard, I'm only able to play on the deck so I'm betting it all on Claude
any update on the full game playthrough download before strike?
>>582340114Unfortunately I kind of expected this. Hopefully it's fixed by launch, I'm not installing microslop's shit to play this game online.
Why do they never bring previous characters up? (Nagase doesn't count). Like how many years have passed since 7 lorewise? Can't be that many. What are those fucks up to? Weren't they from the same confederation you're fighting for in 8?
>>582341070Don't we see princess whatsherface in the trailer? If it is her then Trigger should still be around no? Would be silly if he's not around.
>>582341070
just watched the Area 88 ova. that shit was baller
>>582321602Oh I just found that part. It's more like the Trinity sequence than TGT roller coasters.
what if we kill a million sotoans
>>582321602It really doesn't matter if it appears in one or two missions as a set-piece. DFM was bad in AH because it HAD to be used all the time and was jank as fuck.
>>582342747good, its a must series in general for Ace Combat bros.
I'm going dark till tuesday Have fun acessee you in the sky
Dumb question but I'm emulating AC4 and what am I supposed to do about the controls if I don't own a controller with pressure sensitive buttons?
>>582329358>sotoan roundels>11>White schemeThis is Hot Wheels' plane huh?
>>582344895>don't own a controller with pressure sensitive buttonsYou don't need those for that.
>>582344895you'll be fine without, really.
>>582343386I'm picturing it
>>582328408I'm on mission 7. Her voice is sexo.
>>582344895implying there's any throttle setting between full afterburner and full airbrake
>>582344895if you own a Wooting keyboard you can easily get Claude to write you a little program to map the pressure sensitive keys onto the analog API of the wooting keyboard
Worst part of the game from what I'm seeing is that the Mihaly invincible blabbering shit has returned.
she's so cute bros.
>>582345943There's no MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE however
best way to play AC3?
>>582346586Duckstation and patch the JP version of the game with Load Word Team patch
>>582346586duckstation or something
idk if anyone posted this yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Oe-sYlSFA
>>582346865Bro, I'm on mission 8.
>>582346586I believe the one i have saved is already patched and is the JP version with English text. its been a while since i played it but should workhere, try it out on DuckStation: https://www.rootz.so/d/bnlIW
>>582346865I swear I did that mountain mission in InfinityDo we know what the map roster is like? What kind of missions and how many?
>>582346865Watching new players play is something else, it's like they're just sitting with their heads in the clouds
>It's a confirmed kinoI'm thinking AC9 is a go. Electrosphere here we come.
>>58234806330.
>>582348767sales matter thoughbeit
>>582348917For Online?
>>582348917I think he meant multiplayer missions in MP
>>582348950Let's cross our fingers.
>>582341070Multiple characters from previous games appear in 8
>>582349083SP.>>582349110Okay.
going full future sci fi is cringeshould return to 90s/early 2000s
>>582349221I hope they go even more scifi in the next one.
has anyone recreated the badge design on the hats of the Endurance crew by any chance? or perhaps know where I can find a closer look at them so I can attempt to recreate it
Zero was where it peaked. Let's be honest.
>>582349221Fuck you I want corporate dystopia, proxy wars, false flags, and transhumanist terrorists
Any word yet from the reviews on how long the campaign is?
I want a prequel with Sotoans fighting Yukes
>>582349484okay but I don't want a full roster of fake planescoffin versions of real planes are bad too
>>582349652I want both
>>582349484Don't we already have all of that irl?
My fellows. Is it possible, an insignificant chance that my GTX 1660TI can run AC8? I am poor, and I can't seem to afford a new GPU or a new pc for a while.
>>582349484Minus the transhumanist terrorism, all of that is a thing in 2026 and has been a thing for a long while, no need for full cyberpunk future
>>582350305RT is mandatory, sorry.
I CAN'T TAKE THE WAITING ANYMORE REEEEEEETO MAKE MATTERS WORSE EARLY ACCESS PROBABLY DROPS LIKE 5PM EURO TIME
>>582350305AC8 has raytracing that can't be turned off, so no. Not unless someone makes some kind of mod that disables that or some shit, at least.
>>582346801are there mods that remove the stupid BINGO thing that takes up 1/4th of the screen every time you kill anything
AHAHAAHAAH MINE IS STILL "AWAITING PAYMENT" xdDDD laaawl shoop da misslel in to bam co bitch face us of fuckin AYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>582348281Could be the new control scheme, its a lot less twitchy and sensitive than AC7. Not sure how customizable the flight controls are.
>>582303269>>582302513Not like they can't add more cheevos later.
>>582350305Most likely, no. I would wait for the game to release and look for benchmarks that try to use the weakest hardware possible, if it turns out you can actually run the game with hardware that is even weaker than what the minimum specs say, I'd do this >>582336596
>>582350503Then, I wanna go full-on spoilers, idgaf anymore. I wanna see that one full gameplay of AC8, which sadly got thrown down by Namco. Is someone storing it somewhere?
Hows the multiplayer seem? Is it some throwaway shit?
>>582351680I think an anon was downloading it or something
>>582351247Yeah, the game looks super stiff. Unless MP requires parts to unstiff the planes.
>>582351872Seems to be more elaborate than 7. Way closer to what infinity was in terms of content.
If this cat was a plane, what plane would he be?
>>582352550F-35
>>582352550A pregnant Attacker
>>582351872It's Infinity 2.0.
>>582352961Never had a ps3 so i didn't get to play infinity, was it really just random PvE missions and team death match? I thought it was some massive service game.
>>582333549And the Asterozoa onegai bamco
>>582353427PvEPvPvEPvPRaid boss PvEEvents like that time Mecha Godzilla showed up, both for PvE and PvP and maybe PvPvE
>>582353443>>582353443>AsterozoaThat fucker was ugly!
I havent been in this thread for yearsI'm looking forward to see you guys on the online
Any word on ultrawide support anons? Really enjoying playing the 6 PC "port" with this meme aspect ratio/resolution
What's the time limit on preorders? Can I still get the zero and 3 days early if I buingeded now?
>>582353427PvPvE to be exact, you fight the environment but also aim to have the top score against other players. Each mission had difficulty levels depending on how experienced the players were, it could easily escalate into having tons of enemies and shit going on, specially for the superbosses and their morbillion laser cannons. It also had special events like defense missions (defend your float while fighting against the enemy team and their float) and plenty of nods and content from previous AC games, like the AC3 airplanes and the Idolm@ster skins.People like to shit on it because it was very heavy on the mtx part (you had to use fuel to play, if you ran out of fuel you had to pay for more fuel, or wait a few hours to fill your reserve), but the gameplay itself was solid enough, and this is why AC players liked it.
>>582353427PvPvEIt means attacker aircraft actually serve a purpose. If you suck at fighting other players, you can still contribute by mogging the ground targets.
I haven’t played an ace combat game since the original air combat. What am I in for?
>>582354610Ace Combat: Remix
>>582346368That's a child
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LotWPT0wODw
Playing 0 now to get into the spirit of things since the reviews for 8 seem so good.Gelnikos, Round Hammer or Costner?
>>582354147sounds alright, how did they turn that into a service game though, grinding for planes?
>>582355154round hammer
>>582355323That sounds the coolest as well. And right after Round Table.
>>582355298Needing "fuel" for each sortie (which you could only earn limited quantities of)
>>582355298yeah, Infinity started the technology tree from 7 and 8, and it was a mega-grind fest. To unlock planes and parts first you need to "buy" them, but instead of unlocking it right away, you started an investigation on the plane or part. Then you had to earn blueprints to boost the investigation for each plane or part (progress was chosen at random), and THEN you could unlock the plane to use. But you unlocked the lv.1 version, so you had to repeat this over and over for each plane or piece to get the fully powered plane.Of course, you could buy blueprints with real money to avoid all of this.
>>582354110Preorders (on Steam at least) are open right up the the final instant, as far as I'm aware.
soon buddies
>>582356776Is it ~20 gigs?
>>5823571492.847 at 1440fps60

>f-14A locked behind preorderis this a permanent thing or will they add it as part of a dlc pack down the line
If I preorder now, does the 2 hours refund period start now or only after launch? I am still on w10 and I sure as fuck am not downgrading to slop11
>>582359083the policy says you can refund within 14 days of buying and the game comes out in 1 weekyou'll be fine
>>582359083the 2hours period starts in the moment you start playing the game
If the multiplayer is successful i wonder if they will add more stuff from Infinity like the F-35B and bombers
How many play hours do we think AC8 campaign will take for a series veteran
Anyone know what the weapons for the freaky new plane?
>>582360189Less than 12 more than 5
>>582360189Oboeshoes said it took him 14 hours without skipping cutscenes.
>>5823601896-7
Among french sites, JVC says 15-20h, Gamekult says 20h-25h for the campaign
>>582314648You do realize that the "leaker" is the same person who wrote this review, right?
Isn't 15 hours the longest campaign we had until now, excluding AC3 that forces you to play the first missions again and again for the different routes?
>>582360325...
Are there any announcements regarding the new edition of Aces at War? Are they going to sell it separately outside of the pre order?
If AC8 sells well can we expect AC9 before the next decade?
>>582361083No but you will probably get dlcs much earlier
>>582361083no way, the more financial leeway Project aces gets the more ambitious they get and the longer the game takes.
>>582361083No, lmao
>>582361083AC9 is going to be some crazy 40 hour scifi jrpg with planes in space, its going to release in 2040.
>>582361083
>>582361705>>582361932>>582361956Fuck this nigger timeline we live in where every game needs a fifty year dev cycle
>>582361083Another video game market crash is more likely than thatThey'll be trying to coast off AC8 MP battlepasses for at least the next few years
>>582353427I try to play it for at least an hour every day. Infinity's meat is PvE with PvEvP as special events. In the restoration it's there as default now but nobody plays those PvEvP modes. The real treat was/is the SOLG/Excalibur/Stonehenge RNG emergency sorties that would appear, those were PvE.
>>582361083AC9 for a 2031 release for 4's 30th anniversary, trust.
>>582362325its shut down so idk how you're playing it
it's joever...
>>582361083Maybe if you consider 2030 as before the end of the decade.Based on interviews they do seem to already be thinking about AC9, but any high budget game has 3 years of production at least today.
>>582362920kino
>>582337658So the requirements were full of shit. HE has a card that's only slightly better than the model recommended for 1080p(upscale) medium settings and he's running a mix of medium and high on 1440p(upscale - dlss quality) and doing just fine.
<<FULL CAMPAIGN SPOILERS>>here you go buddies, enjoy
>>582344895Go into your emulator and reduce the sensitivity of whatever button is mapped to triangle to 0.5. That should get rid of the annoying zoom-in whenever you try to track your target.
I'm not going to be able to buy this, am I
>>582363626I'm not scannin' that...
>>582363184these fuckers never even emailed me or gave me a tracking number for my ranni sukajan, it just arrived out of nowhere
Are we gonna get soundtrack uploads anytime soon before release. I just want to hear a few songs that were in the trailers.
>>582363829I don't know why you'd want it. I'd give you mine if I could. I'm probably not going to be able to play until next next Thursday for buying it.
>>582361083If 8 is a bigger success than 7 at launch, they should asset flip the whole game, and have the best game good to go in 2 years.
3 DAYSDON'T DIE
It actually feels a little surreal that Ace Combat 8 is basically here already.I can count with one hand the number of new releases I've been genuinely excited for in the last few years. Whether that says a lot about myself or about the state of videogames, I don't know.
>>582364495Same man. Worse that for me at least two falls under fucking Bandai Namco of all companies
Steam Deck gets ~30 FPS in story mode, but is unable to join ACO missions.
>>582364495>I can count with one hand the number of new releases I've been genuinely excited for in the last few yearsCurious about which games would those be.
>>582362920>>582363184ALL THE WRONG MOVES AND ALL THE RIGHT FACESOOOOH YEAH, WE'RE GOING DOWN>the final boss was actually a fucking blue rectangle all along
>>582355154>Playing 0 now to get into the spirit of thingsGoing through 6, watching both top gun movies and planning to watch zero hour on release day. Complete kino overload
>>582363626I'm not scanning that shit nigga
>>582363626https://gofile.io/d/6UHhZ7HK
>>582364775Actually insane that it runs that well because unless I'm completely wrong, the GPU on the Steam Deck is worse than a GTX 1060 6GB
>>582365419They did say it was with quality TSR balanced and everything on low.
Does it have a decal editor like ArmoCore or Forza or are we still stuck with premade liveries?
>>582365782Oops, -quality.https://worthplaying.com/article/2026/9/25/reviews/151079-pc-review-ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve/
>>582364831Well since funily enough AC7 was the game that made me finally start a Steam account and leave behind my pirate days I'll count games released since then>Elden Ring>Armored Core 6>Silksong>The Blood of DawnwalkerThen there's a few games I was interested in but couldn't play until I upgraded my PC a while ago, like CP2077 and The Ascent which by the time I played them weren't new anymore. After AC9 it's pretty much nothing exciting for me on the horizon until Silksong DLC and I guess The Witcher 4, but I'm cautious about that one.I was pretty giddy when some leaks revealed that Dishonored 3 was in development or at least planned, but at this point I have no hope for it anymore
>>582365896Not only are we stuck with premade liveries, but you have to spend lootboxes for a chance to get them
>>582365419>the GPU on the Steam Deck is worse than a GTX 1060 6GBlogicalincrements says thisremember screen resolution matters a lot
>>582317225fucking slutty whore
>>582365782>>582365930Still impressive I think, I expected much worse. If it really runs that well then I think you really can get away with running it on the cheapest second hand raytracing capable GPU you can find, even if you have to turn down all the settings. If a steam deck can run it I think an RX6400 might be able to do it too.
>>582366035Dishonored 3 was set aside to make the Blade game; and both Blade and Arkane Lyon are on the chopping blockHonestly I still wonder about Deathloop, was the concept of the game made as a compromise for limited budget preventing them from making a more normal Dishonored sequel?
>>582314829I knew he radiated some sort of jeet-ajdacent aura, I just couldn't place it.
>>582336907kek were you really expecting that in todays gynocentric society where 19yr old men are called pedos for going out with 17yr old women?
>>582317225Which one? There are two anon.
>>582366602>Dishonored 3 was set aside to make the Blade game; and both Blade and Arkane Lyon are on the chopping blockYeah exactly. I love Dishonored 1 and 2, and Prey, and it sucks that Arkane is pretty much dead nowThough this reminds me that Raph Colantonio's new studio is making a first person imsim, probably still years away but I'll be keeping an eye on that one
>>582320082Good, my hatred of not being able to change my squad's planes will be vindicated.
Spoiler:The other game that he felt that strongly is AC5Unsung War bros... we won
>>5823200827 is pretty much the AC4 of the current era in that all the games that come after it will be massively better but it will always remain a critically important part of the series
>>582367312>Raph Colantonio's new studio is making a first person imsim?
>>582367698big if trueit would single handedly save gaming for me
They better make some superplanes grindable and not lock lock everything behind BP
>>582367820Colantonio is the mastermind behind DH1 and Prey so this warrants at least some attention from me
Ace Combat 9 now needs to be the corporate war and you can choose a side.
>>582368995Thought Weird West was it for him.
>>582369084Branching story paths are lost technology.
>>582369240can't do branching campaigns when every mission takes 6 months and 8 million dollars to make
>>582365340>>582363626>no subtitles
>>5823200827 ran so 8 could fly
I'm probably gonna rope once I get bored of AC8.
>>582369549No you won't.

>>582366035>spoilerBuddy after Death of the Outsider Dishonored 3 would be abysmal, I for one hope it fucking stays dead. 2 was good but DOTO literally killed their entire universe for no reason. Actually DOTO's actual gameplay is really good and the bank heist level is a contender for best mission in the series but GOD I hate what they did with the Outsider.

Anyone post the full plane roster yet? I already saw the superplane and the F-16XL.

>>582373587>spoiler fake news
I'm such a stupid fucking retard, I just caved and bought the deluxe edition on top of waiting for the Bamco store Joker edition. I just spent over 200 bucks on Ace Combat. My cousin plays vidya with me, I'll just give her my box code since her birthday is in two weeks
>>582371357You're entirely correct but I can forgive terrible writing and ruining of cool characters if the gameplay and level design are good, and I think it was fair to expect at least that from DH3
>>582323121Steel Carnage doko
>>582323121I'm ashamed to admit this trailer gave me goosebumps at 1:01 when no AC8 trailer managed to do that.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QN6DHx-XME8
>>582374129Oh dammit I was watching a review and the F-16XL I saw was from 7, I got it very confused for some reason.>>582374334Fair. I just really dug Dishonored's setting. I was hoping to see Morley and Tyvia some day. Also Deathloop didn't interest me very much.
I don't fear the spoilersHIT ME
>>582375312massive spoilers you blow up sotoan planes and boats and tanks throughout the campaign
>>582375312The big connections to previous AC games are Rosa and Nagase, who both show up around the 2/3rds point. Rosa is running the ISEV and insists she’s not a princess anymore but everyone ignores her and calls her one anyway; Nagase is running Comona and oversees the rocket launch in the Shattered Skies redux mission. Zero didn’t have a marketable waifu character so nobody shows up from it.
so I've been on a near total AC8 blackout after the reveal trailer. do you guys recommend I watch the trailers and info videos, or is going in blind a fun idea at this point?
>>582375749HOLY SHIT
>>582375749That's it I'm mailing a pipebomb ti Kono's house.
>>582375849I've watched or seen literally nothing since the first reveal trailer. Have no idea what the story is or anything. Going in full blind.
>>582376050Watch Zero HourIt will give you a reason to BURN SOTOA TO THE GROUND
>>582375749i know that cope was sotoan-born and enso order is kill at the end
>>582376050sounds like I have a buddy.>>582376246I was gonna say I should probably at least watch those shorts.
>>582375849go in blind buddywe are in for a huge treat, you can experience it for the first time only oncesavour it
>variable geometry wings stay in the full forward position on takeoffs and landingsfucking finally
I'm watching JAG
I wasnt aware the XB-70 ever had variable sweep wings
>>582375849What, why? Go in blind. I did that for AC7. I couldn't pull it off for 8
>>582375849watch the Zero Hour sutff and the story trailer. It has the main theme but the opening cinematic and song are really nice.
>>582380439Zero Hour is C studio coal don’t watch it.
Reminder that Torres was right and 8 proves it. All it would have taken is one million lives.
Can anyone who has access to the game confirm if the game has an fov slider on pc?
>YF-23 is dlc
Sotoa actually needs to be wiped out, they actually have no redeeming qualities, worse than Belka for sure
Bamco's doing an Early Access livestream on Monday with some game code/etc giveaways and the cast list is STACKED. Some of the biggest names in the western acegg/buddy sphere, and Jesse Cox I guess.
Some of the people making reviews really need to rethink what the word 'spoiler' means to them, a lot of the footage I've seen is from missions we haven't seen at all and a few bits of it seem like huge spoilers. Also that said it seems like the multiplayer has a COD/Fortnite style item shop, godfuckingdammit. I was hoping the goypass would be the only microtransaction but I guess I should know better when it's Scamco we're dealing with. At least MP and single player use separate save files.
>>582381557>all literally whos except ACF>stackedhuh?
>>582381557Great, gonna be a spoilerfestBamco is literally retarded
>>582383351returning oldfag?you need to stay ahead of your these things unc, the holy trilogy was 17 years ago
>>582383667abloobloo le spoilers are le ruining my enjoyment if you actually gave a shit about spoilers youd have fucked off by nowno one is forcing you to be in any of these ace combat centric spaces the literal two days before the game arrives, and if getting spoiled ruins the game, then that game was garbage that cant stand up on its own merits, stop being a redditor

>>582384502I'm 99% sure you're an american

>>582385306I mean they lock planes behind them but you should unless be able to unlock any gameplay altering items for free with a challenge or non-premium currency. Unless Bamco is even more retardee than I thought. But with the new livery system I really wanted to have a bunch of emblems to play with on my planes and a lot of it is locked behind battle passes.>>582385886The day Columbia died sucked hard for me, I was obssessed with the Space Shuttle and space as a kid. I still am but not as much.

Everyone already knew thanks to the achievement leak...
>>582383351FFT seems niceCan anyone vouch
>>582381557OOOOOO MY RUBBERR E-CELEBI only know Marco and ACF. ACF is the OG and is actually nice to Kono from the interviews I've seen of him giving over the years. Bottom middle looks like max0r levels of cancer. Whoever Cocks is, they look like a bluesky faggot. Marco doesn't even like Ace Combat, he just likes music

>>582389697to be honest when I saw what happened to the prof, I couldn't stop myself from making that joke :\. I do wonder what the result would've been if Tasha was the one that died; my guess is that they choose not to kill her off due it having a higher chance of pissing off more people, plus her dad is there too
>>582389697 (Me)I fucking wish the video could be chunked into smaller pieces I can download, watch then delete one at a time I never feared spoilers anyway

15 dollars off on preorders from newegg with promo code ACE8WT
>preorder bonus is a F-14ALmao if I cared about value this would be a scam. Are they that desperate to fish for boomers? Why not a Viggen or some memeplane?
>>582402239Because limiting a genuinely unique aircraft to preorders is shit. Preorder bonuses are just that: bonuses. The value is the GAME.
NUN is mentioned in the ending and General Resource takes over all of Enso's assets
>>582402620wonder if the next game will be future or a prequel to say zero?I'd like to see the strangreal version of the cold war

I think like a phoenix rising has been topped for me."that" song made me tear up.
>>582387429this was the spoiler I was waiting forI will now buy this game
>>582403174By "that" you mean Like a Phoenix or another song...?
>>582403158cope...
Does the Zero port have any new features like 1440p+ res and HD textures? Also if it is now on PC, we might get a fan-made on. I rember there was one for X.

The YF-23 with the razgriz skin is pure sex
>>582403836Usea is the Strangreal middle east at this point, a hopeless hellhole of neverending wars and suffering.
Parts of the story are literally just 0079 Gundam
>>582404092Man Phoenix must be rolling in his coffin seeing all this shit.
>>582365340Thanks!
>>582404098Speaking of Gundam, satoa reminds me of Zanscare
>>582396669>4800Mhz DDR5Bro your XMP?
>>582404825I've tried. Something about this Alienware pile of shit just won't let me enable it.
>>582404471no problem, some ledditors already started posting stuff from it but I'm glad I got it out to the buddies in the thread first
>>582405831Try enabling it then manually dropping the frequency a few hundred Mhz. Like if XMP sets it to 6000 while increasing voltage and timings then keep those settings but drop it down to 5600.
>>582406019The option just isn't there, there is no enabling anything lmao. I've looked a few times since I've gotten the rig.
>>582406147Then google the specs of your exact memory kit to see what the XMP settings are and manually input them.
>Zero is the DLC and launch option for 8 on SteamAre they retarded?
>>582406737>Are they retarded?they put a battlepass on a ace combat game in 2026what do you think?

>>582402891>didn't even get halfway through the leak before being forced to sleepwhat happen from there and why does the ending suck
>>582409728It does not suck unless you hate the fact that ac3 has to happen eventually.
>>582361083>AC9AC: Electrosphere spinoff*, then AC9
>>582408014What part?
>>582410025Mission 8
>>582408014I've always said music is the most powerful emotional manipulator. If you remove music from a lot of scenes you consider sad, or hype, or scary, a lot of that energy flies out the window.
>>582410072First time for me with this game was the end ofComona missionI started ace combat with5/4 back when they released so that part really got to me.
Are PLSLs still a thing in 8? That shit was OP in 7.
Plane list with parts, costs, and weapons if anyone wants it.Rafale still seems like the best choice for campaign, especially since you can now take both LAAM and LACM.
>>582409887Im trying to spoil myself on how exactly shit goes down besides the dead nigger storage (didnt reach) and tonitrus genocide (i reached that one) because i had to stop at the hunt cargo ships to save the space elevator partwhy is the ending not actually happy?
>>582410364Could you sort them by plane cost and post again please
>>582410385GRwinsUsea gets wrekt
>>582410468Here you go buddy
>>582410364>F-4 gets UGBsHoly shit this was the dream loadout I hoped for months ago of MGPs + HVAAs + UGBs. Guess Joker Squadron's becoming Glamrock Squarron 2.0.
>>582410581ok but HOW rekt did usea getis the REAL damage AFTER mission uh 15 or 16? Maybe i will understand but the leak vid is long as shit and unsubbed
>>582410604Thanks buddy. This also answers my question about PLSLs. I guess they were too OP.
>>582323121>yfw EMERGENCY SORTIE and this starts playing
>>582410695YesThere is literally a line that says it'll take at least 15 years to rebuild and a shit ton of civs die!
why the fuck am I still in this thread it's looking more and more like a classified file every hour
>FA-36 is inOh wow. But wasn't it like one of the best planes in 3 which is way into the future? How is it already a thing in 2020s.
>>582411034somethingsomething2030
>>582411034The X-40 is also the predecessor to the X-49 Night Raven
>>582410664I'm keeping the those gunpods permanently affixed to my Phantom. Fuck your supermaneuverability, I have the power BRRRTTTT and Sparrows on my side.
>>582410986I do that all the time for stuff I'm watching or playing or hyped for. I straight up spoiled one of the big twists for Yakuza 7 because I was looking up something on a wiki, I made a deliberate effort to go into that game as unspoiled as possible unlike the other games amd I still didn't manage it lol. I want this damn game already.
>>582410364Eh, I'm not impressed, but I know the roster will fill out over time at least, assuming the game's successfulI hope we get more X planes sooner rather than later
>>582410364Why is PA so scared of TLS now?
>>582411034The other planes in that tier in AC3 were the R-103 and the Su-47. R-103 hasn't been invented yet but the Su-47 definitely has. So this isn't too weird.The weird thing is that the Su-47 in AC8 is actually pretty low tier. We went from it being pretty bad and the Typhoon being way better to the Typhoon being the shit starter plane in 3 and the Su-47 being UPEO's best. Though that's obviously just an 8 thing since the Su-47 has been good in the other games and it's only 8 that makes it suck.
>>582411873What makes it bad aside from the cost to buy it? It does tend to fluctuate from lower high to upper mid tier quite often.
>>582411692Probably because they want to make it GIGA OP again and they can't do that if it's on "regular" planes.
>>582410874just how much seethe do you think the plot gonna cause everyone, tourists, fans, and more when the spoilers come for them?
>>582411692probably a playtesting thing, the average nugget doesn't even know when to fire a missile, let alone how to use the gun effectively. TLS was also quite weak and unsatisfying in 7 so probably never used by the average player in multiplayer for example
>>582411378I can't wait to be << That Guy >> in Online who just keeps bringing Gunpod Phantom to everything and changing out Slot 2 depending on the mission.
>>582412226Has anyone with an early copy actually used TLS? I wanna know
>>582410364>ADFX-02 not using IEWSWhy tho. Don't tell me they'll do the Morgan dirty again.
>>582412551ECM = IEWS
>>582410364They're never going to put the Tornado in another game, are they? It even has a jammer variant, they could've done two for the price of one!
>>582412429My thoughts exactly lol, hopefully we can make the supermaneuverable planes fear the funny flying brick.>>582412669I've seen people say multiple times it's Panavia being a bunch of pissbabies about the rights. I hope that changes someday becauss it's such a glaring omission and it was a fun plane in the older games. Kinda reminds me of Lotus being absent from Gran Turismo, and much like a Lotus Elise the Tornado looks wonderful in green.
>>582412593The EA-36 has the IEWSMorgan has ECMs which other aircraft have.What's the difference?
>>582412410It was weak in 7 because 7 was balanced with the meme pvp only multiplayer in mind.
>>582412865There's no difference, the name was changed and the table wasn't updated.
>>582412874So what you're saying is Pixy's Morgan is going to put the entire campaign on Game Journalist difficulty.
>>582412981I see, the anon who handles the table should update it>>582412995You can't play the ADFX-02 until you finished the campaign once iirc
>>582413091Of course, but it'll be fun for repeat playthroughs.
>>582411951It's just a low tier plane now. Available early, low special weapon ammo, low part slots, presumably low stats too.I might end up using it as a low cost plane online assuming AC8 multiplayer supports cost restricted rooms. Never thought it'd be suitable for that but there you go.
>>582412352Very little, the ending is absolutely presented as a happy one. Sort of the same thing as 7
>>582319035>reviews goodIt's over>reviews bad>it's overYou people are mentally ill.
>>582414440Would you say it's over for them?
That Enso guy doesn't seem trustworthy
>>582324518ACEBROS WE FINALLY FUCKING WON
>>582410364>Su-37 and Su-30s got axedDamn...
>>582413753A consequence of removing so many flankers. There's legit nothing to fit into that midrange tier of the Russian tree aside from the Su-33(because they removed the Su-30) so they had to shoehorn the Berkut in there.
Hey I'm curious, has anyone tried running 8 on an Arc B580 GPU? I'm kinda curious how well it runs on that and similarly powerful cards.>>582414754To be honest if they had to pick one Flanker besides the D the Terminator makes the most sense. It has several iconic skins like the Yellows and Rena's Flanker, it looks so close to the SU-35 that you could give it a Phoenix skin and most people wouldn't care. But I guess there is always the potential for updates.
>>582414754>>582415634Su37 is probably first on the list for post-launch release via the goypass. Hopefully we get more info on what’s coming with that.
why does he look like that
>>582416450>Callsign: RollHe knows what he did
>>582416450He pictured it >>582345235
>>582416520You know the rules and so does he.
Gotta be honest. I don't have a plainfu I just use whichever plane has the best stats and SPWs for whatever mission is up ahead.
>>582416728what a gamer...
>>582416861I'm not a gamer, never was, never will be.I'm just an old Player. Player of videogames.
what's special on the paypiggie version anyways I splurged for the preorder cause they're restricting zero to it unfortunately is it literally just MP good boy points?
>>582417069You get a Mobius 1 skin for the Phantom and a Zvezda skin for the legacy Hornet, battle pass, the 3 day early access, a Tasha cosmetic set for your fuckass avatar in the multiplayer lobby, and the battle pass.
>>582416296STOL/MTD and YF-23 probably coming very soon too.
>>582416956Just MP skins, smoke trails, and good boy points to skip 30 levels.You're basically paying $20 to play the game 3 days earlier.
>>582417069I think 90% of people (like me) are just paying for early access
They're absolutely hiding some pulse lazros equipped plane behind the paywall.CUNTS
>>582417250Isn’t the YF23 still in the licensing scroll?
One of the funniest thing is how all the reviews gush over the soundtrack and call it easily the best of the year yet we still worry about it because that's par the course for the series and it could be one of the best of the year and still be middling for AC
>>582418515what the fuck are you talking about nigger
>>582418515Now that everyone gushes over it I always wonder why AC7 was snubbed in the soundtrack department back then.
Will Zero have achievements?
>>582418515That says a lot about the state of the vidya osts in 2026.So far the only cool tracks I've heard were the ones featuring lyrics, the rest is okay (I've watched 1-14 missions)
>>582418728Yeah, it has achievements for all the missions and for getting the medals.
>>582418715It flew under the radar.
>>582418746Is that naval mission that reviewer shared last thread in the first half of the game?
>>582419003Not sure if they were strictly naval. One of the missions takes place at night.
What's your favorite SP weapon?
How fucked is my toaster?

>>582420232>I didn't even know they made 4GB 3070...they don't, something is wrong with speccy
>>582420173explodes
I'm going to try and run this bitch on a 2060. Not even 2060 Super, just a plain old 2060.
>>582414471Doomcucks have been absolutely annihilated.
>>582420047HCAA
>>582410364The F-14A doesn't get Phoenix?
>>582400909Thank you Jesus and also Kono.
do y'all buddies think it's even physically possible to finish the entire series before 8 comes out early? I just finished replaying Air Combat on hard in about a day and a half
>>582302208Imagine being one of the cucks who pronounces it as ace-gee, couldn't be me.
>>582420425Its SAAMs use the Phoenix model.
>>582421536Surely you mean HVAAs?
>>582421239Electrosphere would probably be a bit of a time sink
>>582421239If a game that can be beaten in about an hour takes you a day and a half then no.Otherwise you might get up to ~AC5 by the time early access for AC8 starts.
>>582421239Not if you include doing every route in 3, Zero, and XIf it’s just a single playthrough of each then sure if you don’t sleep much
>>582421609Pretty sure it's the SAAMs, they're no longer using the Sparrow model for it.
>>582421778How odd.
>>582420345Im gonna try on 5700xt on linux with software raytracing and pray for 40fps minimum, am i fucked?
>a replay viewer where you can go back an access previous replays at any time based based based based based
>>582422167>software rt>40 fpsYeah, no. Maybe 40 seconds per frame lmao.
>>582421239You have a bit over 58 hours, that's without even taking into consideration install time. Even with normal amounts of hours spent doing human stuff you should be able to do it.
>>582421239Early access noOfficial release yes May have to skip the portable game tho
>>582422167>5700xtBy default it might not run but there might be workarounds like they did with Indiana Jones >>582328994
X is kino, avoid JA
>>582422783well i did play indiana jones and elden ring with rt, both had about 40fps so im still hoping.>>582423013It will work just like any other game with rt im just worried about performance, enabling rt on rdna1 is just one launch command.
>>582421640to be fair that's only because I decided to make it much harder by only using the F-4>>582422890install time for 8 I assume or each of the games in the series?
standing by to bake the next thread>>582421462based
>>582423292For 8, it is assumed that you already have all the old games ready to go.
>>582421462I pronounce it as "ass-egg"
>>582420047the FALKEN TLS, because of how it deploys and also changes the cockpit view.
>there will be no other game to look forward to after AC8I will cherish every second
>>582424889the only thing I even vaguely care about after AC8 is stranger than heaven and that's not even this year
Does anyone know if the AC Online will have main campaign spoilers at all? Not sure if I should finish it first before touching online
>>582424889next up is Total War 40k but that's a long way off and will likely be crap at launch
>>582424889>Control Resonant this week>AC8 next weekHonestly bros I'm eatin' good. Resonant is kino of you're on the fence but obviously very different to Ace Combat.
>>582424889Megaman DO
Thank god for Metroid and Nintendo
>>582425059Noalt universe i think
you have to hand over all your Anime and the Nuke
>>582430749NEVER
>>582430749Where'd you want them?
>>582420173Should be fine.
>>582425059You'll probably end up playing multiplayer versions of campaign missions, ace squadrons and super weapons from this game too, not only ones from previous games so I'd suggest you do the sensible thing and simply play the campaign before you get to the online aspect.
I wish they'd get rid of Denuvo before Christmas
>>582432852lol
Damn, we got one last page 10 just to remember what it feels like, we'll miss them soon. Anyways baker man, get to working.

>>582410364>SU-47 gets HPAAsSick, I can finally properly use it in Shootouts because my SAAM aim is wack.
