>>582439524just realised neucom uses the namco font
>>582410364Ace Combat hasn't had a decent hangar of planes since AC5, not surprised.
>>582440959What was wrong with Zero’s; the only thing I can fault it for is no Super Hornet
I do not know why, but I can never bring myself to use European planes, despite being a European myself
>>582441532have you tried the Gripen?
<< Yo, buddies! >>With AC8 launching in mere days 7's about to be left by the wayside. I'll be hosting a final weekend of furballs today, tomorrow, and Monday at the usual starts of 1930 CET/1330 EST to say goodbye to skies unknown. Join the lobbies, finish out your achievements, and have fun! Let's sendoff 7 to celebrate its success and the launch of 8!
>>582441716yeah, Its cool
>>582441338>Mikoyan 1.44>Tornado GR.1 and Tornado ECR>F-14A and F-14B>FB-22>F-4X>YA-10B>S-32>Rafale B
I'm wondering if anyone has recreated the badge design from the Endurance crew caps, I know we'll probably get a closer look of them once the game comes out but I could use it right about now
>>582442321Aside from the Flatpack these are all dumbass Glup Shitto variants of planes already represented in game, half of them were never even built
>no Su37>no Su30M2>no Su30SM>no Mig29Kdoomerbros....
>All cutscenes are rendered in real time...People are gonna get fucking weird with it.
>>582442819F-14A is the cover plane, not the D variant. A-6E is the actual attack jet in that family, Zero just kept the prowler. Hawk isn't a variant of shit. You can laugh at f-4x/ya-10b/fb-22/s-32 all day, that still leaves a hangar with a real tree instead of "we cut 20 airframes and gave you three special weapons and a Draken." 5 still has the best hangar.
>>582443380Time to replace Joker Squad models with models of whatever they're flying.
>>582443380>Important plot things happening while Tasha is in the background fortnite dancing
Is 8 a confirmed kino?
>>582442796It would be helpful if there were higher quality pictures (especially for the gold details) but regardless I don't think I can be arsed at the moment, what do you need it for? Do you want to embroider a hat or something?
>>582443653i've heard enoughmake it happen
Wait, I didn't see an answer to this in the last thread. So, does the Endurance end up getting sunk?
>cargo ship and uav hunting missioni actually wish we had Arsenal Bird helping us protect ISEV
>>582410364>no X original planesCome on
>>582442919Su-37 and Su-30SM are obviously going to be DLC/season pass so they can do Yellow and Mihaly variants; Su-30M2 I’m pretty sure was only in AC7 so that Mihaly could have an “ace custom” and will come a lot later if ever. MiG-29K is never ever showing up; it missed its only chance
>>582445015Battlepass rewards, guaranteed. There was no way those fuckers were gonna be in the base game.
>>582441532Same. I am just not a fan of the flying dorito shape.
What is a good PS emulator to play the way older titles?
>>582443769Yes
>>582447791duckstation, pscx2, xenia, PPSSPP
>>582444501no, the final mission is a submarine boss fight and it comes very close to sinking but it doesn’t
don't care about what is and isn't on the roster cause i'm gonna do the whole story with the OG F-18
>>582448195Is the sub the one mentioned in the pre-release trailers? That made it seem like it would be pretty early on.
Shootout lobby's live, buddies! Starting with 2500 cap, will change based on what others want/request.
>>582448809>My multiplayer achievements have basically never been worked on at all Oof...I can hop on in a bit.
>>582449086Buddy...
>>582449291It was just so barebones that I lost interest! Dont you say it isnt!
>>582442321>we need more protoshit, pointless variants, and planes that don't existYeah, no. Game already has too many of those.
>>582449086No worries fren. Part of the point is to help any achievement stragglers reach their goals before the servers dry up. They were already on life support prior to TGS, and after 8 releases any rekindled interest in 7 MP is sure to dry up.
>>582449838Ok, how long are the these matches going to be going on for? Buddy wants to play Valheim for a bit since it finally has an ending now.
Enough Tasha fanart, I need people to start making cool Cope fanart
>>582449963Probably like 4-5 hours. Hoping to cast a wide a net as possible and I've been the buddy who's showed up too late for shootouts a few times, so I figured that while I've got time off I'll no-life AC7 over the weekend since I was planning on no-lifing AC8 during the week anyway.
>38 fps on 3060 at ultra 1080p ok this isn't too badly optimised, maybe my 2070 will manage to stay above 50fps @ medium 1080phttps://en.gamegpu.com/test-gpu/action-fps-tps/ace-combat-8-benchmarki-videokart-i-protsessorov-na-pk
>>582450670Pretty sure he's gonna be popular as fuck, not sure if he'll surpass Tasha though.But yeah Cope is awesome.
is DD a red herring?
>>582450909>6800XT does almost 60fps on 1080p maxedOh that's not bad at all.
>>582450909Not sure how much I can interpolate from this. Does getting 38 at ultra mean you can get 70 on low? 50? Is this one of those games that's demanding as fuck to even run but ultra settings do basically nothing aside from letting you feel better about "maxing out" the game or is it one of those games where ultra settings are insanely expensive and turning them down lets you get double the FPS.Has anyone done benchmarks at settings that people might actually use?
>>582450670It's pretty incredible how likeable they were able to make him in 8-ish minutes of screentime.I'm looking forward to him being my Obi-Wan force ghost
>>582450909This is great but I need to see benchmarks on less powerful GPUs at lower settings, I want to see what's the absolute bare minimum to run it at 30fps at minimum settings.
>>582443868yeah I wanted a new hat for the occasion, and I did find a recreation of the nametag patches the crew were wearing online
>>582450909I think it's fair to say that Project Aces consistently optimize their games pretty well, so it's not surprising they did well even with UE5
>>582450909>9070 ultra native 1440p, sub 60 fpsW-Well, I was going to turn down some settings anyway...
>*bzzzzzt*ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooohhooohoooh
>>582450909Alright this gives me some peace of mindI could even run it at 4k maxed out at 30fps
>>582453484PCGamer was able to wring out 60 fps out of an RX 6600 at 1440p(probably using FSR) so I honestly don't think there's a single RT capable GPU that won't be able to get 60 at 1080p low. Maybe like a 3050 mobile.>>582455489Looks like there's a pretty huge performance gap between medium and ultra, based on these benchmarks and other reviews. I might even be able to get 120 fps on my 9070XT if I stick to medium and maybe dabble with the dark arts(upscaling), which is something I definitely wasn't expecting after seeing the requirements.
So likeIs Windows 11 actually required or can you survive with Windows 10
>>582456069Win10 still has the latest version of DX12, I see no reason why any game wouldn't run on it. Maybe once GPU manufacturers stop releasing drivers for Win10 it could become a problem but that hasn't happened yet.
Reminder that ultra settings are a meme and 99% of the time you won't even tell ultra apart from high except for the framerate hit
>>582456718I remember when ultra settings were explicitly meant for future hardware. Which is why some older games still run pretty badly on ultra, the devs missed how future hardware would end up developing. Or included very silly options like 16x MSAA.
Bros I have a shitty RTX 3050 laptop that I'm in no position to change right now. Will I make it?
>>582458483if you're with low settings, sub 1080p, console framerate, then maybe
>>582458483I would bet money on you being able to run it, even if you have to turn everything to low/minimum
>>582458483RAM will likely be a larger problem than GPU for you, it seems the game runs badly on 16 GB
>>582458483It won't be preety and there's going to be a LOT of dips but it should at least run, as far as I can tell
>>582455879>PCGamer was able to wring out 60 fps out of an RX 6600 at 1440pThis is almost certainly false considering their specs also list an AM5 CPU paired with DDR4 RAM, which is simply not possible. Also has the site been patchy for anyone else lately? I keep getting Bad gateway errors on the captcha.
>>582459025captcha is being a complete dummy right now which is making it hard to live comment on footy matches on /sp/
>>582459025>Also has the site been patchy for anyone else lately?yup
>>582459025I'm having to post on my phone with mobile data because the captcha just doesn't load on my PC and with my regular connection
>>582459025The real specs were posted >>582226751, the leaker is the writer of the review, I have no idea why they had to lie on the review
>>582458483You can usually turn off the forced ray tracing on UE5 games by fucking with an INI file, no? That should help with performance
>>582459445>the leaker is the writer of the reviewYou sure bro? Doesn't seem like the kind of person to hang around 4chan. >>582459550Maybe? But if the game doesn't have any other lighting solution it's going to look absolutely awful.
>>582459687>Doesn't seem like the kind of person to hang around 4chan.Idk man that sounds exactly like what the average anon is interested in.But yes i'm sure, check the previous threads
>>582460013>an average anon is a recently married womanCome on now. Nobody who visits this site has had sex.
Is it true it ran on a steam deck?
>>582459687>leakfag might be a fucking leaf
>>582461370https://worthplaying.com/article/2026/9/25/reviews/151079-pc-review-ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve/According to this review, yes.
Time to join multiplayer and be a burden!
>>582462684Room's still running, we just finished a round.
>>582463132Hard to fly when your controller doesnt have control stick pads because its an xbox 1 elite and your cat knocked it onto the floor once and now you cant find them so you had to order more and they are not here yet! ITS DIGGING INTO MY FINGERS TO USE FLARES!
>>582462684
Shouldn't they announce the first plane pack soon?
>>582464241What? The game isn't even out yet...
Hey, is anybuddy still playing 7 MP or am I too late for the shootout? I'm finally at my PC.
>>582450670>ONE MILLION...>ONE MILLION COPES!
>>582464715Still going, although the room is pretty full of random nuggets.
>>582451552Yes, his social media posts are all just AI slop with no real information leaked. The actual mole is someone else
>>582464921Alrighto, can I get a heads-up if there's room?
>>582465459Best bet is to keep refreshing until it appears, usually someone leaves between rounds. We just finished another.
>>582460261factually
Prove AC7 wasn't your first AC.
>>582460261forgot image
>>582465967This counts?
>>582465967How do you expect me to prove I got ACX for Christmas in 2006?
>>582466171Huh. Nova is a weird name for a guy. Idk, maybe he's got slavic parents?
>>582460261incorrect
>>582466358its just a weird, shitty axe wound tranny with a neoname.
>>582466539I'm not online enough to know what that means.
>>582465967i forget how old you people
>>582466171>>582466391I unironically don't get how that proves it's the same person.
tewy purges sotoans for mission 28 okay now
>>582458810>runs badly on 16GBfug
can people really not wait 3 days
>>582466993Dude not everyone bought the deluxe edition.So no!
>>582466993I mean what else was I gonna do with $20?
>>582466717... alright then
So, what's the meta? Is it pumping standard missiles with parts?
>>582467430Should've posted this one first then
>>582467406buy a dozen indie turds that would sit untouched in your library forever
>>582467563fine whatever. guess you could have not just been a lazy bastard but okay.
>got into the roomFUCK YES/aceg/ H. and N_Z, you buddies are even tougher than I remember.
>>582438868Should I preorder? I was planning on waiting until the game went on sale, but apparently you get Zero for free if you preorder. I don't know if I'll get another chance to get zero, so what's the verdict?
>>582466391The only substantial leak I've seen was that 12:47:21 full longplay that was up for 3 hours yesterday morning (and successfully archived yesterday afternoon on GoFile io). I haven't seen any other big full gamewide leaks that hasn't come from that direct playthrough. Unless this Nova Wright (also, it says all prior PC Gamer articles by this account were Noah Smith, recent marriage/divorce?) is the same person as one GrizGaming on YouTube, I don't see how this former person would be in trouble.
>>582466993I've waited almost 8 YEARSDo you realize that the gap between 7 and 8 is longer than the one between AH and 7???I'm not going to wait 3 more days
>>582467708I bought it yesterday because I was gonna buy it anyway so whateverAs for Zero, it emulates flawlessly in pcsx2, and if you really really need the PC port I'm sure it'll be pirateable sooner or later
>>582467796that first photo where they detail the ending of the game comes directly from them well before the review embargoes lifted or that video came out
>>582467889yeah so have Igetting the game 3 days before other people is not worth 20 bucks to me, even if it's my most anticipated game of the year if not the decade
Why should I care?
>>582468075About what?
>>582467704Says the guy that just steamrolled the room in his first round. Good to see you again, buddy.
>>582467518For 7? The MP guide covers it pretty well, in general HCAA planes are well liked. Unfortunately it's unforgiving without the MO parts.
>>582468075i guess you dont personally have to. but within an hour it got posted to reddit (before being deleted the next morning) then posted on X and spoiled tons of fans who otherwise wouldn't have been spoiled. fact is, its a terrible thing to do and absolutely disgusting to use your position as a game reviewer with early access to ruin the experience for an entire fan base like that. this is the kind of thing only a worthless scumfuck does.
>>582467970Ah, that would be quite notable then. Ima be real, I only got up to Mission 7 or so in that walkthrough. I'm waiting for someone who's got legit AC experience (I am on a laptop that could probably barely run Fires of Liberation, much less SU or WoT) to jump back in on Mission 5 in a playthrough (first four missions don't quite seem to hit the gas, but again, no controller in my hands. Would assume the vast majority of any leaks still come from that big ass video though. Like the mission list, any non Mission 30 spoilers, etc. Whoever that guy was really coughed it up with really no reason. Feel like the vast majority of blame for any big leaks should be on that YTber first.
>>582468557just don't look at spoilers????
>>582468459I see, I see. But like I said earlier, my controller is missing some of it's nubs until the new ones come in, so it hurts to play...
>>582468459The MP guide is full of shit, it reccomends VCE over NGHPU lmao.
>>582468587after i called out that scum reviewer, there was another poster (possibly the same one?) that noted that they would shortly leak the entire game on purpose just to spite specifically me. thats almost certainly where that video came from. there's good reason to believe it could be the same person or someone close to them.
>>582468709IT WASNT SPOILER TAGGED, NOT ON 4CHAN, NOT ON REDDIT, NOT ON X, NOT ANYWHERE THAT IT WAS POSTED! what the fuck dont you people get about this shit. fuck, even if it was spoiler tagged it shouldnt have happened still, someone can just post it elsewhere un spoiler tagged regardless- which is EXACTLY what happened. you simply cant be this retarded.
>>582466890Wait for real? Shit.
>>582468989Anyone knows that when you walk on spoiler territory , you should alway skim over discussions to scan for spoilers without understanding the details...
I uninstalled AC7 to make room for 8
>>582468841>just to spite specifically meMeds. Now.
>>582469260i t w a s p o s t e d i n p l a c e s w h e r e s p o i l e r s w e r e n o t e x p e c t e d w i t h o u t a n y w a r n i n g w h i c h i s w h y i s w h y t h i s s h o u l d n t h a v e h a p p e n e d a t a l l. fucking hell.. this really needs to be spelled out for you.
>>582466993No
>Mihaly wins the final matchKino
I'm glad I got to fly one last time with you buddies. See you all in 8, you'd better be there!>>582468409And you were damn near untouchable afterwards!
No preload on steam. Killing myself.
>>582441880Thanks to everyone who could make it today! Right about now feels like a good stopping point since this'll be when the game goes live on Monday. For any buddy who wants to squeeze in a few more shootouts I'll be hosting rooms again tomorrow and the day after, same times from 1930-2400/1330-1700 EST.>>582467704Always impressive to see your highjinks, RP! And you flatter me, I'll try but I'm definitely no where near other buddies' level, but with Online hopefully I can soar higher in an attack or ESM role.
>>582470705just download the game day 1 bru don't tell me you have third world internet lol
>>582470971Why are you running Light Blisk 2 when Next Gen High pressure components 2 offers objectively better acceleration due to the fucked up way AC7 calculates accel?
>>582471258Huh. I'll swap it out and see how it goes, always hate stats being opaque in games.
>>582471543Your acceleration stat sharpens your speed curve(you get to top speed faster) while top speed stats simply raise up the entire curve.Meaning that your acceleration in m/s^2 is affected more by raising top speed than by raising your acceleration stat.
>>582443380Gee Tasha and Kate, why are you and every other woman on the carrier naked all the time
>>582472914That makes me think. Half the fun of replaying 7 is the modded addon planes. What with there being an online mode that I'm assuming is gonna try and push MTX, is modding the game gonna be something we think they're gonna crack down on and ban for?
>>582473619There's no reason EAC should be running in SP.
the tonitrus target blimps remind me of the airlander airship
Preload is up on PS5.
uhhh... plen?
>>582474232that's an ugly plen
>>582474342It's scientifically proven that if you don't like the f-35 you're a pedofile
i was half expecting tewy to end up as another voice at the end desu
>sow the vows left for the future>the future in question
>>582474216reee why do console cucks get to preload before pc GODS...
RAILGUN WARNINGRAILGUN WARNING
I see a dark future where we’re not able to use new plane additions from AC0 in the seperate SP campaign.
>>582476651Or a future where all new additions are fictional/supers because of licensing issues.
>can't shit and play AC8steam 'eck brotatos....
>>582475915Probably to avoid the game being cracked right before release.
>Mig21Bis gets QAAM and SASM holy cancer
battlefield landings like in 6 returningLETS FUCKING GOOOO
>>582480615I wonder if you can do those online. Would be fun risking it in the PvEvP mode.
>Jammer Game has IWES and 4AAMOh that might be fun.Its nice to see the return of fictional aircraft that arent some post game award though judging from the price being higher than the 5th gens its still super late game.Also is the Morgan exclusive to the ultimate edition or is it in the pass normally if I buy it separately later?
>>582465967I can't prove it because 3 had no achievements.
>>582481054I don't think we'll know for sure until we can see the pass ingame for ourselves.
ALTMAN USE YOUR HAND GRENADES
>>582481054It's SPWs seem all around far better than the first ones. The first ones all suck. I'll definitely take the jammer.Shame that you can't get it on probably your first campaign run through though... As always, they're going to keep the fun stuff until you don't care at all about the story anymore because you already beat it. How fucking infuriating.
I just woke up in the middle of the night because I got shot down.
>>582480867Matches are way way waaaaay too short to justify this feature, unfortunately.
>>582481054the Morgan is part of the first season's premium battle pass track, the deluxe edition just comes with a battle pass voucherso yes if you buy the standard edition normally you can still get the Morgan (afaik it'll be released separately once the first season ends)
>>582481656https://youtu.be/kQwxecp_TVA
>1d 20hthis is genuinely torture
Thinking about it, have we seen the Morgan used in campaign content yet? If not, it might be a bad sign that ACO's unlockables can't be transferrable to single player, meaning we won't have access to new SP planes going forward.
>>582482138You can only use the Morgan in SP after beating the game once is what I heard
>>582481970I'm just hoping the ongoing nor'easter doesn't knock my power out tomorrow before I can preload>>582482138the deluxe edition trailer (iirc) said that it (and presumably future battle pass plens) are usable in SP once you beat the campaign
>>582465967i dunno where 04 is
>>582482239You will have no fun with the campaign on your first playthrough and you will like it
>>582482138>>582482239That's good to hear.
when does preload start? and does anyone else have this despite owning deluxe
>>582482707>implying I don't find a limited aircraft selection fun
>>582483150I have that too and bamco typically doesn't do preloads on steam, you're gonna just have to download it once it launches.
>>582483467You could just limit it yourself retard
>>582483668True. I was planning to do a Hornet only run on my first playthrough anyways.
>>582483613thanks mani asked steam hours ago but they never got back with me
Do you guys map yaw controls to R1/L1 or R2/L2?
>>582484535>R2/L2This.
>>582484535r2l2
>>582484535Triggers. That's what the PS2 games defaulted to so it's what I'm used to.
>>582484535R2/L2. 7 was my first game so I got used to them being on R1/L1, but after emulating the older titles I figured I might as well just learn the other way instead of messing with emulation settings solely for six games out of the entire PS1 & PS2 library.
>>582438868did Bamco seriously made AC0 steam release a DLC for 8? is that mean I have to install 8 too just to play 0? are they stupid?
>>582485537Yes. Yes.
>>582486949just watch how pirates can play zero without 8 being installed
>>582484535you're a fuckin psycho if you do anything other than r1/l1 on this.
>>582485537it's incredibly stupid but it's the most painless way to avoid the wrath of aerospace companies. bamco is stupid regardless
im from the futurei am here to say ace combat 8 is actually good
>>582491759tell me about F/A-XX
>>582491759I don't believe you.
>>582491454Why do people still tout this line? do you think releasing something for free in a limited time lets them ignore copyright law?, scamco is just cheap and don't like doing remasters
I'm here from the future futureAce Combat 9 in VR is amazing
>>582466993you might as well since you get the first season pass
>>582466993I bought it for the art book, early access is a fun bonus.
Haven't watched the longplay, but I'm fine with spoilers. Is any of this relevant?> the Triumphant submarine> the second land battleship> wheelchair lady> Tasha's dye> XR-900 Geopelia
I'm here from the future futuremy grand father asked me to call you faggots, and he says that Tasha is his wife
I'm here from the future future future.So after AC9, they didn't really know where to take the series any further (they refused to remake Electrosphere for some unknown reason).They've announced Assault Horizon 2. God help us all.
>>582495526YesYesYesNoNot really, but sort of yes.
>>582485537>AC0 steam release a DLC for 8If that's the case, I wonder if we can use CreamAPI if we don't pre-order.
>>582496154You would still need to acquire the 3.2GB of files.
>>582450909Would a 16gb ram work fine for 8? Hearing everyone say it can run fine with it, but I wanna confirm
Can you not pre load the game if you pre ordered it?I just pre ordered the game at the last second and steam doesn't give me the option to pre load it
>>582493625>Scamco is just cheapAn remaster of any Ace Combat game would print money for minimal effort and they just remastered a couple of the Trails games.
>>582499307see >>582483613
>>582501752
>going to take like 35 minutes to download assuming steam gives me full speedCould be worse but damn, really hoping for preload.
130-50 GB is gonna take all night. I won't even be able to sleep.
>>582502057>>582502439It's going to take 4-5 hours with my third world download speeds...
ffs another day and a half of this
i feel im only getting half the story from the video leak because of the skipping debriefings and lack of subtitles
>>582504758At least for most of you it's only a Sunday to get through, I have to get through a Monday.
Buddies, I found this prebuilt on Walmart.https://www.walmart.com/ip/ABS-Cyclone-Aqua-Gaming-Desktop-PC-Windows-11-Intel-Core-i5-14400F-Intel-Arc-B580-12GB-16GB-DDR4-RAM-1TB-NVMe-SSD-WiFi-RGB-Prebuilt/20133750159It seems like it would run 8 right? I heard B580's have issues with ray tracing but I can just turn it down and I can deal with gaming at 1080 or 1440 instead of 4k. The other ones at this price point have 8gig 5060s cards and I'd rather have the extra VRAM. I know I can spend more but I'm a cheap bitch and literally anything is better than the old ass gaming laptop I've been torturing with modern games the past three years.>>582504921I can't even pre-order because I don't get paid till launch day unless I get extremely lucky with payroll. If I'd gotten my new job one week sooner I'd be golden.
>>582505380I'd say wait until people with that card share performance metrics, but...>1 left
>>582506138Yeah that's another thing, this is probably a build that's being discontinued too. But on the bright side similar ABS builds aren't much more expensive and in stock. It's either a cheapish prebuilt or a PS5 and honestly the more I think about it the more the PC seems like the better option.
>>582505380>B580There's always a chance that the game doesn't even work with intel cards
Ace Combat 8 will have the dead Cope narrate your actions and your story like a Greek Chorus.You know who else did that? "Desperate Housewives"

Hahahaha OOOOOOOH OOOOOOH OOOOOH OOOOH OH OH OH OOOH OH OH OH
C'mon buddies, keep it together. It's not that much longer.
I'm gonna be honest with you, I had no idea the F-18's gun was right there
I'm playing the game already in my mind.
January Tyranosaurus Rex
Is the base gun in 8 better than 7's? I hated how floaty it was compared to older games.
You think you want electrosphere, but you really dont
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBlMhy3tyUMOfficially sponsored Japanese stream
I crashed my plane
>>582510047from video footage and some of the reviews so far it looks extremely strong but much harder to aim and the shells fly much slower, its like a proper strafing run where you need to lead your shots quite a bit
>>582508174Yeah. It's been pretty rare for it to outright not work, Crimson Desert being a good example. But by the time I buy some early access fags should be able to report if the game refuses to run with it.>>582509573I'm so used to guns being next to the cockpit or under the fuselage I always forget the Hornet's fun is that.
Yo Buddies, still alive?Stopped visiting to bump the threads after the release date trailer in early June (looks like that might have been for the best considering the state of the thread). Couldn't make it to the final shootout last night, but just wanted to say thanks for all the fun times in the long dark waiting period after 7. Loading into Roca Roja with a lobby full of true aces always put a smile on my face. We are gonna need to quickly figure out the Sp.W situation and establish which ones to discourage in shootouts early on.Looking forward to flying with you again in the next one, hopefully the story is better than in 7, but I'd settle for a nice MP tunnel map and good Sp.W on my wife Rafale.
>>582510047anon who played the game in a demo event hereWAY better. 7's gun was the worst it ever was in the series. The gun sight in 8 felt way more accurate, sorta like Project Wingman's, quite steady and easier to lead with7's gun only really worked when you were literally aiming with your plane's nose. It's how most people get good with it in multiplayer
I'LL HAVE ONE NUMBER NINE
Torres has returned, planes mostly shot down
>>582510393There's gonna be two more shootouts at the usual time, we'll see how many other buddies are free and want to join >>582470971
>>582510516>>582510342Glad to hear it, the most disappointing thing about 7 was the guns for me so this has me extra excited. I especially clicked with PW's guns, so this sounds like exactly what I wanted.
>>582510606TO THE MOOOOON
>>582510606Dressmaker can't be that good...
>>582510986Peaked higher than AC7
>>582510986The gaming public yearns for girly dress up games. Several years ago I played a demo for on 3DS and honestly I can see how people get sucked into games like that. The one I played was half fashion design and half cold hard capitalist numbercrunching to make bank off of your customers.
>>582510986https://x.com/Harada_TEKKEN/status/2102212083589009843
just started AC3game is litty
>>582511658Yes. Yes it be. Especially the muzak.
>>582511551Oh nvm, that looks goodHmm...Maybe I could try it while I WAIT
>>582511551that is really cool
>XFA-36A (fighter prototype) in 2040>FA-36 (production) in 2030sHow???
>>582512114I don't think 3 is canon.
>>582512114Double-check some of your premises
So, will the game be released at midnight of the 29th in early access or will it be released at a specific hour in the whole world.Any info on a preload?
>>582512114XFA-36 is either a coffin prototype, or pure speculation by Simon.>>582512243Specific hour in the whole world, 22:00 GMT iirc.
anyone here can recommend me a controller? my current one still works but the sticks are a bit finnicky
>>58251237222GMT on the 28th or the 29th? Because for example, 22GMT would be 00.00 on the 29th for meThanks tho
>>582512231Even if the Intercorpo War is simulated, wouldn't it make more sense if the other way around happen? "what if this prototype from the 2030s actually made sense and is produced as FA-36"?>>582512372Any concrete time as to when Simon boot up the simulation?
>>582511658mirv is overpowered, not in gameplay but in coolfactor
>>582512373I've been using a dualshock 4 for 10 years. I'd still be using 3 but the stick got kinda fucked up and I don't want to disassemble it to fix it.
>>58251251728th, you can recheck the time on Steam store page, it now shows 1 day and 13 hours.>>582512520I'm not exactly sure, no info about that on wiki, but I saw someone on twitter claim he ran simulation in 2031.
>>582512737It still says 4 days for me
>>582513106>>582512737nvm i'm retarded
>>582510516you are an immense faggot who is so wrong that i am goyshuffling through this nigger website's hoops because it matters to me this much to tell you how wrong you are.the worst gun in the series was Ace Combat 3, which is genuinely broken and can't even do damage to enemy planes.AC7's gun was fine. serviceable, neither great nor terrible.we are all worse off for what you said. it lowers the global IQ. all we can do now is draw circles with crayon and curse like motherfuckers.
>>582512520The Coffin is the prototype variant of the nnormal game, hence XF-36A. Also its confirmed that the simulation is ran in 2040, what would be the point of a inaccurate simulation if you're training a AI and releasing it o kill one dude.
>>582512520I suggested you double-check some of your premises; you only doubled-down.
Who names their kid gay hawkins
>>582513260I haven't played 3 srry...AC7's gun was the hardest to aim if I'm going to correct myself
>>582512737>2031>after Usea-Sotoa war, where FA-36 should appear at least as prototype or low intensity productionYe, something ain't matching. Even in AC5 and ACZ they bothered to give Morgan an "X" to show it as experimental to Falken, not the other way around
>>582513281That makes sense
>>582513446Well, either X is because it's coffin variant, or PA just stopped caring about internal logic of planes. We had prototypes of R-series in ACX, which takes place in 2019, and here we are, flying legacy Hornets in 2029. AC8 superplane spoilers: Also my other concern that they stopped caring is X-40. Name implies it's a prototype by Enigma of Darkness, size also looks like it's X-49 predecessor, but visually it looks like it was designed by Grunder, it even has the Raven engines. Although I only saw a couple of screenshots of it and nothing more.
>>582512114You've conflating 'prototype' and 'experimental'.Many English speakers, native or otherwise, have done so for quite a while, so don't feel bad.A prototype is intrinsically experimental,but not all experiments or 'experimentals' are prototypes for production.The concept of an 'experimental production' is an idea common in fiction.The extent to which it is common in real life, I will not comment on.
>>582512373gamesaar for best price, flydigi for extra buttons, 8bitdo for best overall qualitybeen using flydigi vader 5 pro myself for almost a year now to replace my old dualsense
>>582513429Ace Combat 3 has a cool story and setting and planes but it is fucking miserable to play. The 'realistic' physics engine they used (which was never used in any other Ace Combat game) makes the game a very literal, unfun drag. there is nothing that constitutes skilled play in that game, and as I mentioned, the gun is fucking useless even if you are flying head on into others like you are dueling Pixy.another anon said that people think they want Electrosphere but they really don't. the game needs a complete remake. keep the story beats but make it actually fun to play. some of the endgame missions are god damn awful. five to ten minutes of flying in big languid circles with other planes who never even shoot at you but the physics of the game artificially lengthen the game.Geopelia is a war crime of unfun gaming.
I really wish these were retroactive. I did all this already on the ol' Xbox. But I figured I'd knock em out again on Steam before 8 launched.
>>582447961I like ace combat but I can't trust the reviews, the audience is beggining to remind me of the darksouls audience while it blew up, everything was 10/10 at that time because people wanted to signal they had good taste. It's also like reading reviews for a ghibli film where the only people reviewing it are predisposed to giving it a 10 just for existing.
How and when am I supposed to use the yaw feature? When is it best to use it? When I play I just turn the plane on its side and then pull back on the thumbstick to turn. Is there some combination of movement and control with the yaw that is useful?
>>582515907if you yaw while you turn you turn a bit harderits also useful for acute adjustments in your plane when you're trying to line up bombs or guns or make it through a tunnelit should be second nature as you fly
>>582515907In situations where you want to be able to do slight adjustments while being level/whatever angle you're atSo good for bombs, guns and moving through tight spaces
>>582515907It's for fine tuning with the guns, if you're tracking an enemy while turning and they are a few degrees above or below your turning circle you can yaw to get them on target. It's also just good for gradual turns without losing situational awareness like when you're approaching a bombing target.The control scheme for AC doesn't encourage yaw usage as much as it should. Battlefields layout makes it second nature because it's just on the other stick.
>>582515907GunsAdjusting your heading without rolling (landings, those radar bubble evasion missions, canyons, tunnels...)And it helps you turn somewhat sharper if you're trying to pull your jet around
buddies... it's almost here
>>582515074>everything was 10/10 at that time because people wanted to signal they had good tasteI gave in and preordered. I don't see how the game can be truly bad at this point. The music will be great, gameplay elements are improved and the clouds look amazing. That's 95% of the experience right there. 7 has so many flaws and is so retarded but I still enjoyed it a lot, 8 will be more of the same in that regard. I dislike the direction the franchise has taken but by that logic zero was the last good mainline game and that released back in 2006>It's also like reading reviews for a ghibli film where the only people reviewing it are predisposed to giving it a 10 just for existing.the boy and the heron was so bad lol, 2 hours of miyazaki huffing his own farts trying to make something deep. completely forgotten now too
>>582502948>4-5 hours>third worldYou are like little baby. Watch this.
so your character dies at the end, this just killed my desire to play this gamehave they ever done this to any other mcs in past games?
>>582517472On the bright side if a real world war breaks out you won't even notice it.
i really hope it's an error in their shitty systemjust like my ranni sukajan that never gave me a tracking number and just arrived without notice, only then it updated to completed
Well I guess that's what I get for going on /v/. I just had the ending spoiled, fantastic.
>>582517072>Dont work on Tuesdays and WednesdaysFeels good, lads
>>582518107I'm sorry about that.My attempt at consolation is that some stories are still affecting, even when you're quite familiar with the plot, narrative, and themes beforehand. Hopefully it will be that way for you.
>>582518107Anon.....You only have yourself to blame./v/ is a shithole I don't know why people insist on going there. It's half idpolporn nowadays
>>582518107>Post with no source followed by an AI source in a post that says "2st" after a long string of discussions where people clearly have no idea what they're talking about whatsoeverI think this is a skill issue
>>582517532Every series has to have that trope used at least once I suppose.
>>582517472grimwhere the fuck are you fromi live in the poorest end of shitaly and have this for 19 bucks/month
>>582513260The worst guns in the series were AC1 and AC2's. AC3's guns got a substantial DPS improvement over them, even if they remained hard to aim.
>>582517472and I thought my internet was shit
>>582518356The possibility that it's remotely true is enough of a downer when the context was a shitflinging thread designed to cause outrage.
>>582518107Same. That thread is a mess. I wasn't expecting that image to have spoilers.
The guns in AC8 look a lot more forgiving to use than in past games. I'm seeing people hit stuff outside the circle, which is much akin to PW.
>>582517472>timeSo you're in the green zone then? Those speeds are uncharacteristically SLOW.
>>582518416In un buco di merda al nordovest. Tecnicamente abbiamo la fibra (da tre anni), ma non è connessa al resto della rete nazionale, quindi...
>>582518530But again, the thread is filled with so many lies and obvious examples of not knowing anything about what they're talking about that they could've put anything in spoiler tags and it suddenly wouldn't be any more sincere than anything elseI could pull an infinite number of "remotely true" sounding things out of my ass, it's basically fortune telling/cold readingMaybe it's just because I've never worried about spoilers and every psychic I've met has done a terrible job but I wouldn't immediately fall into despair over that post or any post in that thread
>>582517532AC8 spoilersWhoever you got your spoilers from is full of shit
>>582518751Yeah, but like I said, I live in buttfuck nowhere. Up until two years ago I had half that speed. So yes, suffering.

>>582518989Damn, I know a guy who used to stream out of Italy and he was always cursing about how bad his Internet was. I guess he may've been not exactly exaggerating.
It's crazy to hear there are Euro countries behind the UK at all in regards to internet quality. Like my nation is a fucking cesspit of industrial collapse, but the one good thing it did was push hard for a complete fiber rollout across the entire country. I'm fairly certain 99% of living abodes now have access to superfast broadband, or 5G towers.

>>582517472anon that's a whole 1.65 megabytes per second, it'll only take you 25 hours to get the game
>want to talk about ac8>going to get spoiled>can't resist itDid PA fix LAAM and HVAA terminal homing or are they still completely busted in AC8 PvP? I have a feeling LACM + LAAM Rafale is going to be ridiculous at long range fight control.
>>582519816I mean I feel like no matter how shit the balance gets, the existence of the head-to-head PvE will save the game longterm>This SW is fucking busted in air to air>We're all rolling back to PvE until it's nerfed
>>582520010Yeah, that's kind of a shame because PvPvE is peak. I hope it's significantly more lucrative to farm ground targets than to PvP for the most part. If PvP has the highest points payout, any mode will degenerate into a furball with some background extras. PvP should be a spice you splash in when you need to make a drastic shift in the match, not the main attraction.
>>582519816That's assuming that LACM is still good. Maybe they nerfed it. It could have happened.

>>582520336True, i hope it's still a big pie plate on a long stick. I hope we get cost-limited loadouts sometime too, 2000 and 2250 were so much fun in ac7.>>582520413ac8 will be waiting for you omce your raids are done anon
>>582520413I'd say the choice is clear but if you've stuck with WoW this long then I'm going to spell it out and say AC8
>>582493625Copyright isn't the issue, trademark is. And yes, depending on how the licensing agreements were written giving shit away for free might not count as an infringement.
>>582520413Sounds like a "Sorry guys I ate some bad Chinese and I've got food poisoning" (Set status to Offline)
>>582502057All Steam downloads are encrypted by default. When the game has preloads you can download the encrypted files then decrypt them once the game releases. Without a preload you have to both download and decrypt at the same time so you're probably not getting gigabit speeds.
>>582450909can't really tell the difference between medium and up graphics most of the time anywaysit's really only in the post processing and effects that you'll see the differencebut the textures will have the biggest impact usually with going from 8x8 to 1920000x1080000 raw uncompressed textures
Fuck! The game launched and your planefu got cut. Damn it kono. What are you flying until it comes out as DLC?
What does Project Aces have against the Harrier?>Always license it>It's always in the games>It's even been playable Assault Horizon and Infinity>But for every other game it's just an NPC to be moggedI'm aware it's subsonic, I'm aware its carry weight was pathetic, but it could have a cute gimmick where it's practically impossible to stall at slow speeds thanks to the rotating nozzles.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgjCdQwrFrIseeing how badly her model is lagging when running the game makes me wonder just how much ram it's chewing up
>>582495526YesYesYesNoNo but another AC3 superplane is
>>5825132603's gun is bad but that doesn't mean 7's gun isn't a piece of shit. It worked perfectly fine in the PS2 games, and on 6 too even if it was a bit OP, but they fucked it up in 7.
>>582521126Someone posted the graphs from gameguru or something and apparently the game is RAM heavy peaking at ~30gb util. I don't know whether it's true or not but 32 gigs is the recommended amount.
>>582521053irrelevant for me, kono would never cut the Su-35S because it's the ultimate in flanker aesthetics
I'm a little worried the multiplayer isn't going to be as ambitious as it could be, now or in the futureYou could do a lot of modes outside of 6 minute score attacks and 8 minute raids>Hunting down missile silos and chasing missiles like in Magic Spear>Hunting down trucks and drones during a sandstorm like in Pipeline Destruction>Hide and seek with yellow targets, seeking out other player's without giving away the locations of your own, like Lost Hope>Superweapon v superweapon fights, like Arsenal Bird vs Arsenal Bird or Alicorn vs AlicornI just hope PA recognises the goldmine they're sitting on, and not just for the gold that is all that delicious whale money
>>582521126Holy shit it's lagging like hell. Might have to play this at 720p with a stretched window to reduce RAM usage, reminds me of the time I played MGSV with a PC that was way, way too weak to actually run it.
>>582521231Beginning to wonder if I should panic buy some RAM for my setup, so I can hit 32GB instead of 16. Fortunately RAM is the easiest thing to install on a rig, so...
>>582521386Is it the game that's lagging or the stream?
>>582521474Neither the stream nor the game are lagging, it's just her live2d model
>Watching ACFNugget, proclaimed AC super fan, play the PvE multiplayer>Zero reaction to missile alerts>Constantly just lets the screen flash red and never breaks offAnd this person is above the average Joe who just plays ball and gun games, Jesus Christ.
>>582521474I meant her model
>>582521394If you're on DDR4 then it should be pretty cheap. I'm just not sure if you can throw another bunch of sticks and have it work without any hiccups. I think it's recommended you replace the entire set with a new kit, rather than just slapping more sticks on top of what you have.
>>582521591>Constantly just lets the screen flash red and never breaks offThis is how you'd handle it in singleplayer though. Just jink at the last moment and keep farming points. Over-reacting and breaking off as soon as you hear a missile alert is mostly a multiplayer thing because player missiles home much better with lvl 2 parts.
We're getting close to peak
Who in their right mind would sign up to fly a Tu-95 in Strangereal
>>582521595>>582521654Isee. Maybe it's her setup conflicting with the game or something?
how are streamers playing the game?
>>582521654No, I'm on DDR5 and I replaced most of the rig recently including the GPU with a 9070XT, intended to be mostly up-to-date for this game. The sticks I'd need are still being sold I think.
>>582521705Right, but in the PvE it's fairly obvious the NPCs are going to be much tougher, because now progression and resources are tied to winning in the live service. From what I've heard, the Arsenal Bird for example is significantly harder than AC7, it will fuck you up if you dare sit behind it and just pepper its ass.
>>582521774I say wait and see what the performance is like before buying more RAM. Doubt it's going to jump in price in the upcoming days anyway. Though 32 is pretty much the standard nowadays so you should probably upgrade that anyway.
>>582521814Yeah but ACF never did a lot of multiplayer, only played Infinity a little bit, and mostly focused on doing single-player runs of the holy trilogy.So those habits are hard to shake.
>>582521749I'd feel more bad for IEWS planesBombers are really only the ace's problem when they're an objective or they need to rack up points, IEWS has a bullseye on it because you never want to deal with that crapLike "geek the mage" but for fighter jets
>>582518530you’re retarded, have no sense of media literacy and did not watch the first fucking trailer

>>582522423It wasn't about Jan Cope? Your character takes on the title of both Rex and Wings of Theve.
>>582522423Not him and I don't know if that's true but the full playthrough was leaked 2 days ago. There's a gofile link in the previous thread.
>>582521753It runs fine on the briefing screens, so it seems like the setup is fine. It's just the gameplay is more demanding so her PC can't take it and the avatar at the same time.Without knowing what her PC is like and what settings the game is at I don't know if this is a bad sign or not.
>>582522423>He thinks Rex was referring to Cope
>83 aces for assault records, this time with actual biosholy moly
>>582522347>>582522462So I was right, the only thing I was wrong is how you'd have to make your own custom avatar.
>>582521126not defending the game but she has shit pc lolshe's basically lagging on every recently released game
>>582520413its 2026 what the fuck are you doing
>>58252123132 has been the actual minimum for years now. Id say everyone should at least have it since memory is the cheapest thing to upgrade but...
Tonitrus strikes seem like they're only a little bit smaller than the nukes Belka used
>>582522845Yeah, the only excuse for still running 16 gigs is if you're on an old DDR4 platform that you didn't want to upgrade because you were expecting to move to a new socket and DDR5(and then got fucked by the RAMpocalypse).

>>582523171hell yeah brotherOBC is a crook a shit you know what I mean and that hackjob of a """"journalist"""" brett Thompson can EAT my ASS
>>582523069>if you're on an old DDR4 platform that you didn't want to upgrade because you were expecting to move to a new socket and DDR5I was planning on doing that but yeah I think that's not gonna be an option for me until at least post 2030. Looking at 32GB is pretty insane, the vast majority of them start at near or above 300 bucks, I only found one compatible with my motherboard at 210 and it's only at that price because it currently has a -40% discount.
>>582521749Who in their right mind would become a naval seaman in an Ace Combat game? Surface combatants are sunk in droves every war. Probably the most high-attrition service arm in strangereal.
>>582526656I'd like to see a monetary breakdown of how fucked each country is economically each time they lose a multibillion dollar war.
>>582526656>Who in their right mind would become a naval seaman in an Ace Combat game?Right mind?
I wonder what the 'boast threshold' for sales is going to be.
do sotoans tolerate (((osea)))?
>>582526656>Surface combatants are sunk in droves every war.Maybe they should build warships that won't sink after taking a couple sidewinders.
>>582527153My guess is we'll get a "THANK YOU FOR OVER 1 MILLION COPIES SOLD!" before ChristmasLifetime sales should at least be around AC7's (7 million)There's no Top Gun movie/DLC to cross-promote it with (sales nearly doubled from 2.5 to 4 million in 2022), so who knowsWhat I'm really curious is, how many people are going to stick with the franchise after 7? What's the retention rate? I'm sure there's a lot of people, PC players especially, that got drawn in by memes and Youtube videos, tried it when it was cheap on sale, figured out it wasn't for them, and don't have any intention of getting 8.
One more sleep ace bros
I'm just interested in seeing the benchmarks so I know for sure what kind of hardware I need to be aiming for when I upgrade.
I think it's going to sell ~5 million copies across all platforms before it hits the first discount.Not sure how good it would be, considering higher production+development costs this time around. I doubt these games are cheap to develop anymore, you also have other pre-release marketing stuff like mini-series. That adds up to the budget as well.
is 8 gonna run on linux
>>582531062I dunno much about Linux and the differences between distros but campaign missions ran just fine on SteamOS for one reviewer,but crashed immediately for another reviewer.
>>582531181>This is the face of death
did they say anything about a preloadisnt that usually how those triple A releases go
Wasn't the F-14A borderline useless irl? What a weird plane to choose as pre-order bonus
>>582532361It's because of the Top Gun movies, they use A models in both
If anyone knows, without going into any spoilery details, does AC8 have any moments like the Arsenal bird boss fight? Where the music kicks in at the right moment? A simple yes or no is enough
>>582532361It wasn't useless, it just had a shitty engine.
>>582532815It probably does. Let's be real.
>>582532815>Where the music kicks in at the right moment?I dunno about boss fights, but they are better at music cues and mixing in 8. Mission 3 is an early example of this.So the answer is yes.
>>582532815https://youtu.be/EVjNcyhxO9Q?is=Br3CWSecRtpIE6N6Mind you this isn't even halfway through the campaign
>>582532361It kicked ass in the Iran-Iraq warBut that’s not why it’s the bonus, it’s because of Top Gun
>>582531843fuck, guess i'll have to wait until pcgw has info
>>582532815There's at least one moment that's exactly like what they did in DaredevilAnd a lot that are like Faceless Soldier (mission update -> mid-battle cutscene that starts awesome music -> fight continues)8 is much more music focused
I was on the hospital the last couple of nights, but we still have one last night of /aceg/ multiplayer, right?
MAGICSPEARONE
>>582529447>There's no Top Gun movie/DLC to cross-promote it with (sales nearly doubled from 2.5 to 4 million in 2022), so who knowsAC7 has been selling too consistently well for it to be just a bump from the movie; AC7 also likely will not stop at 7 million lifetime sales lol, AC8's release is almost certainly going to push it to 8 millions and I could see a tail to 9 millions.
I'm gnawing on fucking drywall here, Jesus Christ. Give me my game!
Game lauches on midnight so I can let it download while I sleep.
>this may be the first new ace combat with a coherent story in 20 years
({Sad News}) Ace Combat Fan (15) is being canceled on Xitter (3) for using Grok (2 1/2) to generate the thumbnail for his Ace Combat 8 (Due tomorrow) review (6 hours)Is it over for /our/guy?
>>582536282Game launches at 6:00PM so I gotta stare at the screen like a retard until I can play it.
Bit weird how ac8 is not featuring full vr support.
>>582534443If no one else is willing, I'll host a lobby 4 hours from now.
I've been starring at it for the past hour and The lack of TM *triggers* me
>>582536282Midnight tonight?
>>582536393>no 900Don't care
>>582537660>Starts in approximately 1 day and 6 hours
>>582526656>>582527061Who in their right mind would become a slow ass lumbering bomber pilot? It has to be some sort of military punishment. Because Strange Real is littered with charred bomber wreckage all over the place.
>>582536185>Preloaders can't play twenty year old Zero's ass early
>>582513260that's funny i was just getting a bunch of gun kills in my first playthrough last night. i even posted a webm of one >>582511658are you sure it isn't a skill issue?
>>582537108I didn't even notice that ngl
>>582537108maybe you're already aware of the 'invisible sorting alias' feature to reorder games in alphabetical list view
>>582532361good enough for Mickey good enough for me
>>5825399613 guns do function but they are pretty shit. It's funny because I think it's the only game in the series to give you a choice of different guns, but then they mostly suck. At least pulse laser is fun to shoot.
You cannot understand the mind of a War Thunder slave.The game comes out tomorrow, but my mind is already hyper-fixated in grinding the battlepass to get the Ofnir and Grabacr skins on the AC5 rotation in 4 months
>want to buy 7>official port of 0 is neat>not sure I want to blow 90 fucking euroshekels on an vidya gaem when I'm already buying tons of shit for my houseDecisions, decisions...
>>582536393People seriously need to get the fuck over themselves.
>>582542579i have two kids..... $90 is a ridiculous amount of money for a video game.......i'm selling some of my old 40k boxes to get it. wanna buy a box of sanguinary guard?
>>582542579May i interest you in a solution for the next month?
Is Assault Horizon worth trying? I've heard how it's bad and stuff but is it still worth a full playthrough at least once?
>>582542579You could bite the bullet and try buying from keyshops...
>>582543201It is a bad ace combat, and a mediocre gameThe music score is the only reedeming fatctor.This said, you should 100% play it because you will understand how low we went, how close to the end we were, and what a miracle AC7 was
>>582543201It's a meh game that was made infinitely worse by its unique gimmick(dogfight mode). It also has a few dogshit door gunner levels, an AC-130 level that's far worse than the CoD4 mission its trying to copy, and 2 pretty fun Helicopter levels.
when do the good goys get the game early, so I can close this tab on that day
>>582543609September 28th 22:00 UTC.
>>582543201I didn't even finish the first mission before I alt f4'd and uninstalled. As soon as I got into that dogfight mode shit I knew I wasn't playing Ace Combat and I wasn't going to waste another minute on it.Thank god I didn't pay for it.
>>582543201I tried it and it gave me the itch to play Call of Duty.
>>582543478>markovThey really wanted that Modern Warfare audience huh.
>>582522584>83 acea in 8>169 in ZeroLooks like I'll be doing a lot of ace hunting in the future.
>>582543668so in 1 day 6 hours? ok then
>>582543201It's pretty ass. Play HAWKS instead
>>582543478The fake speed and zoom effects is so bad lmao, i whish there was a mod to remove them
>>582543201There are several AC-like that aren't Ace combat that are better than Assault Horizon.It's not the worst 10h spectacle game is what I'd say to be charitable, pirate and don't buy it (you can't purchase it from steam anymore anyway)
>>582544438
>>582544438Just fucking re-release that shit separately already.
>>582543981Ironically enough, they got at least 3 CoD actors in EN cast, one of which played original Makarov.
>>582544559Verboten.
>>582544639>one of which played original MakarovI just looked it up and it's true. Voiced some side bad guy. They must've wanted him to be the voice of the main big bad but then realized how obvious it would be.
>>582543389>Worst game in the series>Nearly killed said series>Good portion of long running jokes in the fandom is to crap on it>But also has the best soundtrack in the seriesWell....AH is def still better than Sonic 06 (despite what some recent Twitter movements will attempt to yell you.)
gotTa StAy FLY GOOOTTA STAY STRONG 1 MORE DAYALL DAY LONG
I saw the game in my dreams, many times...
A game I'll never forget
That was my realityhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUUchxqHIpM
>>582543201>>582543478>>582543913>>582544639>>582545627>Game tries getting the CoD audience and kills the franchiseMany such cases. We got very lucky
>>582441880>>582470971<< SENDOFF SHOOTOUT - SUNDAY EDITION >>Hi buddies! I know the threads are spoiler minefields right now and these posts are easy to miss.Heads up I'll be hosting a lobby from 1930-2400 CET/1330-1700 EST. Goal is to enjoy some shootouts in 7 with buddies and help out anyone who still wants to grind MP cheevos. For any interested buddy who can't make it today I'll also be be hosting a final shootout tomorrow at the same times, so it'll end right as early access for 8 goes live.See you in the skies!
>>582545627>also has the best soundtrack in the series??
What the fuck man? That's like 10pm Bongistan time.
>>582546889Dogfight and Gotta Stay Fly are genuinely both masterpieces to the point I hope either turn up in AC8's emergency sorties.https://youtu.be/iUUchxqHIpM?si=EbTse0NiXiaRzCpK
>>582547105Dunno man. Stuff's yakuza filler music tier. Gotta Stay Fly is just cringy Limp Bizkit. Definitely not the best soundtrack in the series. But yeah the game was going for a specific audience of gun'n'ball enjoyers of that era so I kind of get it.
>>582546889I will admit music genre bias plays a factor, AH's ost has the most rock/metal stylings of the series. Even so, whenever I see a video with AC music playing, both used beyond the fandom and then videos inside of it, AH actually feels like it gets the most representation. If you mad a list of the top 20-25 AC songs...AH could very well top the list in terms of volume.
>>582547831>Stuff's yakuza filler music tier.You're saying that like Yakuza's best music isn't the filler.https://youtu.be/q7gzFBnfRfo
>>582548026FUCK YOU, SHIT WAS WORSE THAN MAXXING OUT 'JONG
>>582548026I meant it sounds like "Yakuza Combat theme number whatever" that kicks in whenever you're about to beat some random noname delinquents up. Not something that particularly stands out and stays with you. Like, aight, it probably slaps in the moment. But there's nothing really special about it. Another thing is how it's used as well. Stuff like Daredevil accentuates a specific moment in the story, it's all synchronized etc. Dogfight? A bunch of simple heavy chords that you probably acknowledge in the process and then forget about it for the rest of your life. I don't think I'd listen to it casually or have it on any of my playlists.
>>582549039>I meant it sounds like "Yakuza Combat theme number whatever" that kicks in whenever you're about to beat some random noname delinquents up.Again, I do not understand. The standard combat themes in Yakuza are boss as fuck.
>>582549217Some are.
>>582505380And it's out of stock, fug.
>>582505380>>582549717Do you actually have a PC or not? I assume you don't since you're considering buying a prebuilt but it wouldn't be the first time someone decided to buy a whole new PC instead of upgrading whatever they have either, it can make sense if what you're working with is extremely outdated
>>582546585Ironic that it only took 15 years to be "acquired" by the CoD company.
>>582547105>>582547831The only objectively good tracks in AH: >Hanger Bay #2>the Bomber Mission songs (Undercover, Launch, Eyes)>Release Everything else is kinda eh, even the headliners like Dogfight others tend to reference.
>>582550097I have a gaming laptop, if I had a tower that wasn't over ten years old I'd look onto upgrading. Like I was saying I did find other prebuilts at similar pricepoints with the same card or the Nvidia/AMD equivalents. But I was going to wait anyways just incase AC8 is one of those games that hates Arc GPUs for some reason anyways.
>>582549039I fucking love Yakuza random encounter themes.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkKfOkI-CY
Room's live, aceggers! 2500 Battle Royale for now, can change settings upon request.
Is it the repack people the reason we don't get a pre-download?Also apparently ps5 handles it better than more powerful pc's
>>582552715I missed out yesterday so thanks for setting this up.
>>582505380You need 32 gb of ram minimum, according to someone on twitter.
>>582553417>according to someone on twitter.Which is veritable font of knowledge, as we know, but that might specifically be for 4K. We probably won't get good data about how well this game runs till at least Monday.
>>582554006Can you believe that?It's almost here
>>582554006RAM usage in game usually doesn't depend too much on settings, unless your VRAM is filled and it starts overflowing on the RAM
>>582553417For max settings yes
>>582554435It's so weird. I never expected we'd actually get the game so soon after reveal, 7's wait was awful.
>>582554623>unless your VRAM is filled and it starts overflowing on the RAMWhich is partially why I wanted one with a B580, everything else at that price point has 5060's with 8 gigs ans the Nvidia tax. I don't know man, this is the definition of a first world problem so it's not that big of a deal and I have time to think about what I want to get.
But what are the recommended specs to play on 720p at 30fps with everything at minimum tho
>>582545627AC7 unambiguously has the best overall soundtracking when taking both quality and quantity, I don't think there's much question about it.
>>582555773Steam deck There will be dips though
>>582553193Always nice to fly with friends, buddy!
>>582555773https://worthplaying.com/article/2026/9/25/reviews/151079-pc-review-ace-combat-8-wings-of-theve/Steam deck so anything from a 1060 onward should be fine.
>>582556447Steam deck GPU has RT cores, 1060 doesn't despite being an overall stronger card in raster.
>>582556536I actually wanna see if it's possible to disable RT through .ini editing since it's a UE5 game, specifically I wanna see if you can do that and not make the lighting completely break and look awful, I doubt it, but it will be interesting to see.
>>582557158Might be possible to disable it but it doesn't seem like the game has any sort of fallback lighting solution, so you'll get unlit polys if you kill RT.
>>582557158You probably could, but graphically i don't know what would happen, because the dev didn't even bother to build lighting without the use of RT. You could be staring at a black screen, or at some blender models in the best case
obviously the best OST track in AC7 is Awakening
>>582557689For me it is The three notes they play in M4 when harling dies from the unsung war
>>582557361You should at least be able to see the HUD and the skybox.
>>582557689lighthouse
>>582557689 Eastern Wind
>>582557689For me it's the "chaka chaka chaka chaka chaka chaka" sound the strings make when Avril is taking off.
>>582557689it's CLEARLY magic spear 1
ooooh ohhhh ohhh ooooooh ooooooooooaaaaahhooooooh
>>582557983My best buddy, I love everything about that track. High hopes for 8 (haven't listened to anything since initial trailer)
CERTE
>>582557689That's not Pipeline Destruction
>>582557689Transfer Orders into ADFX-10
>>582557689Multiplayer Lobby
>>582557983Wow you're so original.
>>582557689It's actually tango line 2
Linkage (ACJA version) is still the best ost of the series
>tasha's a stunt pilot>no mission or an intermission where you attempt to keep up with her stunts and follow her the same way you did dision to score as many points as possiblebamco......
>>582557689I really like Two PairsGoing through the clouds and getting hit by a lightning when the 2:20 hits was very kinohttps://youtu.be/8evibtN6I68
>>582560260If you still have to slow to 500 for PSM it would suck.
>>582558615underrated choice
>>582557689Every reply being a different track just goes to show how good 7's ost isThe real response is Anchorhead Raid btw
>>582557689Anchorhead Raid makes me want to carve spirals into the heavens
>>582557689>AwakeningThere's only one true Awakening and it's Transparent Blue
>>582561281I think I never realized how good it was till recently just because of how shitty the sandstorm segment of that mission is. It's the best mission ever for 5 minutes and then that happens.
>>582557689The takeoff music from Dark Blue always hypes me tf up and Hush is a great final fight track
>>582561798What's wrong with the sandstorm section of the mission? Even on Ace the blips stay up long enough to nail them with a LACM.
Those of you who ordered from GameStop in the US might want to check to see which fulfillment center it’s coming from. If it’s Texas you might be fucked because there’s a notice on the USPS website saying that weather conditions from the hurricane might impact or delay mail processing. Mine said shipping label was created two days ago and USPS is still awaiting the item.
>>582561892I did actually play it very recently with the Gripen so I had those, but it still doesn't help. I had a few of them fucking miss somehow, maybe they got caught om a sand dune. A lot of reviews say thay 8 doesn't have as many gimmick missions like that and that wind gusts are just gone now which is good fuck that mechanic. If it wasn't for that I might actually like the sandstorm segment.
>>582561892First run with a Tomcat with GPBs fucking SUCKED. LACM is the only thing that makes it bearable.
I'm still shocked that picrel wasn't a disastrous port
>>582562179Never had LACMs miss there, guess it depends on whether you target the fuel trucks or their escorts(don't target the escorts). >>582562349My first run was with a fullback with SFFS, the sandstorm segment was still fine. You have plenty of time and the trucks aren't that hard to catch if you expand your radar and remember roughly where the blips were. It's a pretty simple memory game. Then just dip slightly under the clouds to confirm before going up again and bombing them. Guess it works better with unguided munitions than guided ones.
Buddies, we're so close
>>582562891Yep, 27 more hours plus download and install time.
>>582562891looking at this unzoomed out at a glance makes it look like the alicorn
>>582562891>last general before early accessWe've never been so back
Watching the playthrough, couple of hours left....I'm utterly defeated just watching this man. No wonder they say this isn't a fully happy ending. I can't imagine what this will be like to play.
>>582563786>Of course not, anything that leads usean continent to ac3 isn't going to end fully happy
I'd really like an AC game where you get both perspectives. Get Neil Druckmann or something.
>>582564819Xe wheeled all over it with xer dirty wheels, over the crisp brown sheets of the bed I just made for my life-partner
De-rusting for AC8, PLSL are so brokenReally hope that Bamco sends me the pre-order code tomorrow or something as I ordered the CE through their store
>>582565175>PLSL are so brokenAnd that's why 8 will not have them on release doesn't make sense but oh well
>>582565175>De-rustingThe flight model in 8 is different enough that I don't think you're doing much by playing 7.
>>582565114
>>582565385I haven't seen any footage of 8 in general, trying to keep myself spoiler free. (Also why I haven't checked the general in forever)I'm really hoping it's going to be good
Was about to pre-order just for the steam release of ACZ when I noticed the early access is 20 Euros for 3 days? Insane...Might just do it since I have a lot of free time next week...fuck it I'm getting it and skipping the gym tuesday and wednesday
>>582565261FCU is too poor for superweapon pods, please understand.
>>582565615Yep, Useapoors spent all their money on healthcare and pensions and don't have any left over for the military.
Wait, if the FCU is supposed to be the EU and Theve is based on Toronto does that mean Strangereal Canada is part of the EU?
I thought FCU was supposed to be the USA.No?
>>582566176No, that's Osea. Or Yuktobania if you're based enough.
no showers remain, it's so close
>>582566940The game releases in 26 hours, you should probably shower at least once in that timeframe.
I only shower 1 day before the release of a new ace combat
>8 poops away from a new AC
Gonna call that enough HCAA spam for tonight, buddies. Thanks for all the good times, and I'll figure something out regarding 8.See you in the skies.
>>582529087At least Project Wingman made it so you have to blow up all their weapons first before you can sink them
>>582568094Couldn't you still oneshot with a properly placed railgun?
>>582568935I know you can specifically with anti-ship missiles, which also work on airships. But honestly I found the best way to deal with them is a rocket salvo because rockets are actuall good in PW, not quite as insane as the ones in 6 though.
>>582567953I'm sure we'll se each other again not too long from now.
>>582557689My favorite is Siren’s Song, I love the LRSSG group
>>582564016I’m pretty sure that’s not what he’s talking about
>>582562891>Doesn't unlock till practically midnight tomorrow in EuropeThe fuck man
>>582521117It's a mystery that will never be explained. There's no reason for it not to be playable, especially when they take the time and resources to make an enemy NPC model. Someone over there at PA must've known a harrier pilot that fucked his wife in the anus or something.
>>582569118Rockets, MGPs, or a nice little doubletap with UGBs all work great on ships, landships, and airships.
>>582557689I hate how Roca Roja wasn't a boss theme and was stuck in multiplayer.
>>582570008>practically midnight Isn't it literally midnight? It's 22:00 UTC which is 24:00 CEST(+1 for the timezone, +1 for summer time).My current plan is to exhaust myself as much as possible tonight, push myself through work tomorrow, then immediately go to sleep as soon as I get home and wake up around midnight(then I've got Tuesday and Wednesday off). I've been slowly shifting my sleep schedule over the last week to make sure I'm already sleepy enough by 1700.
>>582570995I'll be able to play on monday 4 pm where i live

Any buddies here preorder the joker pack edition? I saw some people that finally got their packages shipped that they got the preorder codes digitally but I finally got the shipped message about an hour ago and haven’t seen anything about preorder codes
>>582562891
i'm feeling it
>>582576487The code is in the box.
>>582557689overall, for me, is Hush but when the music ramps up in Dragon Breath while charging the Arsenal Bird and dodging a trillion drones/missiles is just too great.
there are buddies who died before they could see ace combat 8it's a sad thought

>>582577793They live on in our hearts.
>>582577365When we'll be flying, remember to fly for them as well
>>582552715That was fun. Hope to fly with all of you again in AC8.
Thanks for hosting Mr. H, and sorry for leaving without saying anything but I don't have my chat set up because of how little I play MP.
>>582578625It's nice seeing a lobby with so many /aceg/ tags. PVE and boss battle shenanigans are sure to be fun in 8.
Never played 7's multiplayer before today's shootout. Had no idea what the hell was going on half the time but it was fun, see you buddies again soon
We'll see each other again, flying over a new sky. It won't be long now.
I'm so ready to fly with my brosI even bought flowers
>>582579059>>582579471Thank you to you and everyone who's joined. It's a blast to see everyone in an MP furball for the last few times until 8 comes around
>looking at the intro video and some gameplay>it looks so good>PC not good enough to play itJust gotta keep saving for those upgrades I guess, hopefully I'll have enough money by the end of the year.
>tfw PC died like a month ago and I might not have a new PC till January...
Preload on Steam. Ressurecting myself.
>>582581440Just go into any PC store and buy the parts you need for a new one? What exactly is stopping you?
>>582581652HOLY SHIT YOU AREN'T LYING
Has anyone received their game code from the bamco store yet? I ordered the physical collectors edition but I haven't received shit so far. I'd like to at least register the game so that I can download when early access is up.
ACTUALLY REAL
>decrypting the preload is gonna take longer than just downloading the filesShould I even bother with the preload? I've got a 2.5 gigabit connection.
>>582581839america it comes in the box, just an fyi

>>582581652Thank fuck. My third world internet's gonna take 12 hours to download this shit
>>582582510Because the rock you've tricked into doing math can only do so much math per second. Even if it's a very good rock like a 9800X3D.
fuckin LOOOAD dat shit *sniiiiiif*
>>582582712Can @grok decrypt it for me? I hear that one rock has more rock per rock than many others
>>582582456Fucking hope these niggers send it digitally to me as an European.
it's time
It's #3 if we exclude f2p
will it be worth the $90
>>582583254Project Aces must be cumming right now seeing their lil ol' plane franchise getting so much love.
>>582583294LOLNO
>>582583254dressmakerbros, we can't let that bird of ill omen do this to us
>>582583294if you liked ac5 - ac0 - ac4yes
>>582583294>spent $180 on the Joker box>spent another $80 on a deluxe edition key because bamco america decided to put a digital code in a physical boxI'm gifting my other key to a friend but it's 100% going to be worth it when I see the interweb reactions of me scanning Aces at War and digitizing the vinyl before most of the Joker box buyers get theirs in the mail.
Okay, so what now?
Post shadow's music
>>582584216>>582574272>>582574561
>>582584216now you ask Claude to datamine the soundtrack and post it
Uninstall and do it again.
>>582584216wait 24 hours
>early release is gonna be 0000 CESTFUUUUUCK that's an early wake up to get some playtime in
>>582584528>he hasn't been adjusting his sleep schedule over the last week to make waking up at midnight natural
You can't launch 0, can you?
>>582584543It's like poetry, it rhymes.
>>582583254Meanwhile in the US...
>>582584781I think it's the highest outside of Japan, where it's either #2 or 1.
>>582584781why do I hear Oooooohs fading in?
>>582584674no
>>582584653my zog job won't allow it
He walked all over it with his dirty boots! Over the crisp, white dress that I had just made!
>>582585236Why not? You only need to be awake from 9 to 17, right? So if you push yourself to stay awake later and later eventually you'll start going to sleep around 17:30 and then you can wake up 6 and a half hours later and play the game immediately.
Is it normal that the game is installed but the folder is empty?
>>582585476It sits in a temp folder until it's decrypted on release.
OOOOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOH OOOOOHAAHOOOO OOOOOHAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>582585626>temp folderdepotcache folder, actually.
post the fucking music already, fedspooks and your alien internet speed should have the game downloaded already
>>582586247>>582585626thanks, it's there
>>582585356>9 to 17I wish, I'm not memeing when I say zog. Work starts at 0630 and I don't leave until 1830ish, but I gotta leave by 0530. I'll get like an hour of playtime until I get home
>>582586523Yeah, OK, let me just fucking break steam encryption real quick.
>>582586523FR I need something to hold me over while I wait.
I ordered on GMG but only the normal edition, guess I gotta wait and hope I don't get screwed out of AC0. They only let me down once before and I got it sorted out over a decade ago.
>>582586523everything is encrypted, i think only some claude-pro vibecoder could extract it before than tomorrow
>>582586636Why are you working 12 hours a day? Is that even legal in Europe?
>>582586636Inhumane living conditions. >>582586651Please do.
@grok, decrypt the music files and also Tasha's 3d bodyDisengage safety protocols
I am so scared they are not gonna learn any of the lessons of AC7. Project Wingman addressed a lot of those issues but japanese devs are helpless
>>582586710And it would cost like $2000 in API fees.
what you guys doing?
>>582587535Do we have any information about the advanced aerial moves like the cobra etc.? If the speed limit is still comically low then I see zero use for them.
>>582587570err i can probably do it with like 1% of my $200 subscriptiononce it downloads i'll see
>>582586813>Europe>>582586835is what it is, I signed the dotted line
>>582587669This guy is a professional shitposter in a way
>>582587759Who the fuck else uses CEST you fucking vaguenigger. It literally means Central EUROPEAN summer time.
>>582587669Just from that intro they uploaded to YouTube I can tell I'm gonna love this asshole.
>>582587740Don't do it anon, Anthropic will get a $5000000 compute bill from their providers.
I feel excited for a game, I thought I lost that
>>582587669blud wanna be a white suburban boomer so bad with them kicks
>>582587669This guy looks like a Mexican friend I used to have who'd say "Ass and tiddish!" over and over.
>>582587862I am gomenesorry no bully, I just did a google search to see what time zone they're going off of for the global release
>>582587738I am more worried about mission structure, party members and story
>>582587738They're pretty strong in multiplayer, especially once you start chaining them. Chain PSMs also let you break the minimum speed limit so you can fly backwards or flat spin while gaining altitude.
>>582588314That’s already leaked if you want to watch it
>>582587669I unironically love this dude already.
22 hours until WE all apologize.
>>582590694Stupid fucking boomer who doesn't understand shit.
the orchestra is great no doubt, but I'm ecstatic for the rock
>>582590694Only a miracle can turn the plot into something worthwhile.
>>582590694I've never doubted kinobuchi I'm ready for pretentious cringekino
CERTEEEE
>>582591672AETHERA DOOOOOMAAAA
>>582591672PER CAELUM VOLAAAAAAA
I’ll be at work for the next couple of hours, so most likely someone else will need to bake. Preferably someone who’s baked before
>>582589474Is the game good
>>582591978If you liked Ace Combat 04, 5, 6 and 7 you'll like it also DFM is back
>>582591861ESTO LIBER, OH ESTO LIBER
>>582591978Sadly noAll we can do now is Cope
>>582592296not really, its for like 3 moments only
Is the "goriest" moment we have now Prof's death? Which isn't really gory at all but is the bloodiest (literally) moment on screen unless I forgot something
A salute to the anons that didn't make it
Did they seriously drop the YF-23? Fucking kike bitches I swear probably saving it for the battlepass.
Total Lockheed death
>>582592683I just...
>>582593145is it not still in the licensing scroll?
>>582521053My planefu hasn’t made an appearance since Ace Combat X. Feels bad man.
>>582593418
>>582591978Yes, unless you disliked both 5 and 7 in which case maybe not
>>582593721Yep there it is. Guess we know our first battlepass bird.
i have first world internet, preloading is superfluous but i have shit hardware that won't run the game very well after I'm done downloading it fast
I hope she makes an appearance or has a reference
>>582577861
>>582593721Every time
>>582587770He's wearing a three piece suit while having trainers on his fucking feet and I am not convinced that grey in his hair isn't dyed in. This fuck is aurafarming shitposts.
>>582597295>>582593721>Jagdflugzeug GmbHDid he have a stroke?
>>582597295Perpetual short-man syndrome
>>582514305you might just suck at the game, electrosphere's biggest issue is the predictive missile tracking being awful, so they compensate by letting you MMM everythingas for geopelia, just go into 1st person it's not that hard
>>582514305what about AC3 is "slower" or more of a grind than other AC games? on the contrary, you can kill every enemy with 1-2 missiles in that game, as in, if you launch from a proper angle, you will always hitin other AC games it's just RNGshit and AI will stop moving after <x> missiles on order to allow you to shoot themof course, AC3 is quite literally designed for a higher IQ audience than modern AC. AC3 is made for 120-130IQ asian and white VN nerds, while AC7 / AC8 is designed so 90-100IQ negroes and wiggers can pick up and play
>>582598128Yes you have to do that to speak German properly
>>582593964Granny Widow confirmed for being Akuma-tier
Can I still get the F-14A and Morgan later on without a preorder? I don't want to spend another 20 bucks for a aircraft.
>>582599050you can buy the morgan at the end of the BP
>>582599050idk about the tomcat but the morgan will be available for purchase separately after the battlepass expires
>>582599050Morgan yes, Tomcat no, but it's the A model and high chances it won't even have the glove vanes anyways so you aren't missing out on much.
>>582599050Brother the aircraft dripfeed is gonna be strong in AC8, they know the nuggets are already clutched by the balls.
>joker flight pack still awaiting paymenti'm gonna have to goy up and purchase it on steam to play it this week aren't i
>>582599881You knew the answer before you started typing.
Has there been any info on what happen to the other FCU carriers? They clearly have at least two Nimitz, even if one is currently doing an Admiral Andersen
back in the hospital for arrhythmia buddies, hope I get released tonight so I can fly tomorrow
>>582602718Yes, at least one Ford-class shows up later in the campaign
idk im using the default vulcan cannon in electrosphere rn and these things fuck idk why my guy was bitchin
Is that the thing from Katawa Shoujo?
>>582600490
I swear if the pass ends up costing the same as if I bought the deluxe and I pay the same and play it late im going to kill myself and put belka in the suicide note.
Do you guys think someone will go around tinkering with the game and make it run on GTX 1660? this is literally the sole reason I still refuse to pre order it
>>582606204you should get a job
>you should get a job
Did everyone clean their crisp white sheets for tomorrow?
>>582603918Yeah, though there are many kinds of arrhythmiaI hope anon gets a cute Katawa gf

>>582603340The guns are better than the missiles in AC3. Missiles are terrible>no range>but you have to use them like they're fucking laser guided, if you don't keep the target centered they disappear into oblivionAC3 sucks balls
>>582587669He's just like me fr
>>582608254>velcro
>>582607967>Missiles are terribleare you sure you even played the same AC3? they work like missiles IRL (but with 2km lock range) - the only missiles in the series that will move to intercept enemies
>>582608254God FORBID an autistic man finds success.
>>582608843They're ass. They have no range and you have to keep the target locked the entire time. By the time the missile hits you may as well have just gunned them
>>582609412you do not in fact have to keep the target locked, you just need to launch them from a sensible kinematic situation where an IRL missile would hit. this is too difficult for the modern 90IQ ace combat consoletard playerbase tho
>>582609532Nah man they have to be center of the screen and pretty much flying directly toward you or away from you and they have the same range as your tiny peter. They even miss boats moving at -2 knots if you don't point directly at them. They're ass
>>582609747i think you are just not very smart and that's ok. i hope you enjoy the modern ace combat games and i think they're more appropriate for people of your mental ability
>>582609918Concession accepted

Music leaks doko
>>582613765the steam encryption is AES-256, probably not gonna be any music leaks
>>582614110if only that original leaker could provide us so generously with a steam depot key then we're stuck unfortunately

>>582583830>scanning Aces at Warthat is very cash money of you
Idk if its been said yet but word on the streets is the Game's electronic warfare variant is called the barricader.
>>582616941I just lost the game
>>582615463I gotta pee
From a Belkan War veteran, to the nuggets playing Wings of Theve for the first time: We veterans lost our wings long ago, age comes to check on ya, you know? But you, who has never played an Ace Combat game in your life, you have the chance to soar through those clean blue skies and be the ACE you are meant to be. There was a time where we held the skies, I defended Valais Air Base, I fought in B7R, I witnessed the liberation of Ustio's capital and I saw Belka Fall, but that time is now long gone. The sky belongs to you now, a new generation of aces. This is my message to you, first time Ace Combat pilot. Now it's time for you to spread those wings and fly.Fly high and fast nugget. Us old timers? We'll just look on from here.
will they ever remove denuvo like they did for 7? i highly doubt it because it'll have a constantly supported multiplayer
Is the game runnable?
>>582618326no
>>582615463I'll take Operation (C)EEYOULATER.Safe flight bwos
>>582618390I do hope it gets cracked as soon as possible, I want to buy the preorder for ACZ later if it's indeed runnable on my barely acceptable min specs laptop
I'll be able to bake the thread after all, preparing now
>>582607967>you have to keep the target centeredyou are using missiles wrong in AC3, you aim ahead of your target and they will consistently hit your enemies even if you shoot at insane anglesthe tracking still sucks but for completely unrelated reasons that wouldn't affect you because you are using the missiles wrong
