>>582622229"Larry Foulke" has a nice ring to it.
why'd they do it?
>>582622715what's up with the kerning here
>>582622229I mean, he was born in the late 60s
>>582622229Lawrence sounds nice
>>582622715>dudes so evil even Belka got scared of them
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>just one more sleep until AC8>too excited to sleepfrick
Preloading done, see you guys in the skies
I truly do hope this game sells well, Bamco giving PA basically a blank check for this game after 7’s success both excites me and horrifies me if it happens to not sell as well as 7 did. I don’t want my favorite franchise to die AGAIN
>>582623762Seems good to me.
>finishing my 7 play through in preparation for 8>CFA for the final mission because it's my planefu>using type b high g controls>it didn't occur to me that this was a recipe for stall fucking city in the final room before you fly through the elevator>crash like 8 fucking times>mfwMight be a skill issue because I'm retarded (and sleepy) but also the CFAs funny quirk of not cancelling a high g until you level out is awkward as fuck at slow speed like that.
>>582623905Well then. I think we’re gonna make it buddies
>>582624057the CFA has horrible stall characteristics to nerf it, really unfortunate
>>582622715They're just nomads bro they gotta move somewhere.
<< SENDOFF SHOOTOUT - FINALE >>Thank you to all buddies who've showed up these past few days. For any stragglers and anyone else still interested I'll be hosting one last shootout in 7's multiplayer at 1930 CET/1330 EST which will run all the way until 2400 CET / 1730 EST when 8's early access goes live. It's been a pleasure flying with everyone, and I hope to do so in 8 as well!
>>582622715kono traveled there and forced them so that PA could make AC8
>>582624704wish I could have flown with you buddies one final time but unfortunately can't. Hope to see you all in online one day
>>582623762>>5826239055th best seller on Steam, will probably rise higher tomorrow and even higher when it launches, current predictions place it as moderate success meaning we will most likely get a new game and nobody will be fired but bamco won't spend as much money as they did with 8 on the next one.If reviews are good and word of mouth makes it popular among normies then we can disregard what I said before but most likely the requirements to run the game along with the fact that it's popular to hate on UE 5 will work against it and send the reviews into mostly positive or even mixed, this would push away those who are still on the fence of whether they should buy the game or not.
Belka is involved somehow... I can just feel it
i boughted
>>582624865There is also AC Online, if that ends up being a money printer like Infinity was that could help the next game have a good budget as well.>but most likely the requirements to run the game along with the fact that it's popular to hate on UE 5 will work against it and send the reviews into mostly positive or even mixed, this would push away those who are still on the fence of whether they should buy the game or not.Barring the actual technical reviews about performance and Denuvo I think most people know to tune those shitty one sentence negative reviews.
>>582624704I've never played in these because I just don't have much fun getting farmed but I hope you guys have fun with the final sendoff.
>>582624704Reinstalling ac7 just to play for the first time with u guys
>>582625572Better get to preloading, buddy.
>>582624854>>582625665>>582625845No worries buddies. I took the week off and figured I might as well host on Monday as well, since there might be some interest left. Not expecting as much traffic as the weekends of course, but I thought it would be a nice farewell to the skies unknown.
>>582626129im already preloaded, waiting to blow
yeah I'm thinking total Sotoan death. The ass pain it took to keep this thing standing and they just go and collapse it
If AC7 and AC8 are like AC4 and AC5, AC9 will be like ACZ in that a lot of the focus will be on a highly memorable and memeable character, and the second trinity will be complete
>>582622324CERTE! AETHERA DOMA!UBIQUE, UBIQUEVOTA RELICTA IN POSTERUM SERITOOOOO
Commander-rank officer and leader of Joker Flight. He was given the single sign "Wings of Theve"—a legendary ace, and a symbol of hope for the capital of FCU. However, that legend was not real.Due to his exceptional piloting skills, especially his masterful evasive maneuvers, he was selected for the manufactured ace project.In his downtime, he was known as an inveterate gambler. Although he sometimes failed to pay his debts, he remained well liked thanks to his sociable charm and charisma.
I can't even run the game but I'm considering preordering just for Zero, the fuck is wrong with me
>>582627927that's what I did... My copes are that I would buy it eventually anyway and that I want to support the series
Does everyone use Ultra graphics when benchmarking Ace Combat 8 on PC? Surely they don't believe that everyone is gonna use Ultra graphics
My key from Green Man Gaming was delivered a few minutes ago.
>>582630823Some benchmarking sites use other settings, but most are on ultra because it makes comparison easier.
>>582630823There is a method to what seems to be madness.Once you learn and then understand why, such benchmarks will be helpful to someone with almost any hardware configuration.
>>582630823the point of these benchmarks is not to tell you how the game is gonna run on your setup, it's to tell you how X graphics card does better or worse than Y graphics card
>>582630823Do enlighten us on your standardized settings that work on every game known to man.
Any of these benchmarks say how well it does on a 6700 XT at 1440p? I'm sure I'll have to use FSR but hopefully won't have to turn the graphics down to turd settings
Does 2nd Oct show for anyone else that has ordered the deluxe edition?
>>582631575Yeah it's showing for everyone
>>582631575for me its oct 1, its probably a timezone thing, it will launch at the same time on steam on all regions
Preload available, apparently!
>>582631575dutch is such a funny language
>>582631627>>582631679Cheers.Boy I'm glad I upgraded my PC last year. Surely I'll be fine with a 5070Ti, 64GB RAM and a 9800X3D>>582631681Kankergrappig
>>582631575a dutch person ordering the deluxe edition? wat de neuk
How well would the game run on a 3080?
>>58263201060 on a mix of medium/high settings at 1080p or 1440p upscaled
>>582631816Normally I wait for games to go on sale, but Ace Combat is special
how well is this going to run on my pentium integrated graphics card
>>582631681
bought a new controller just for this, I'm so ready for takeoff
I don't even have a graphics card!
>>582632259i'm sure the game will run at 360p on your integrated intel graphics!
I cannot play the gameI cannot play the game I cannot play thpleaselet me play ACE COMBAT™8:WINGS OF THEVEHave a great day.
'ere we go
why are you not having a big sleep before the game comes out now
>>582632225Well I hope your hands are small enough. I had that exact controller and hated the shape, thankfully Gabe came in clutch with the Steamie pad.

>>582632824
what will we get first, the im@s or the uma musume event
>>582633702surprise vtuber event
>>582633702Uma Musume event. The spoiler is that Blaze and Nagase didn't get together because Razgriz 1 accidentally knocked up a horse
Death to anime and death to children who put loli cancer on planes.
>>582633702PA give me a Gundam crossover and my life is yours!
But Ayyys Cumbot IS anime.
Can I play as a cute 30 year old girlboss pilot in 7 and 8?
>>582633702>out of touch with im@s past the OGs>hate umautists>hate vtuberssuffering
>>582634154Do they ever actually mention Trigger's gender? I don't think they do. You can roleplay in your head.
>>582634246They do, but I think there is also a mod that can swap them to female if you want.
>>582634246They always refer to Trigger by male pronouns but frankly I don't give a flying fuck. Trigger can be a cute gril.
>>582634246Count definitely refers to you as a he multiple times
>>582634091This, holy fuck. Gundam's been getting crossovers all over the place as it is, it only makes sense to get some plane skins referencing it (and maybe an event where we punk some Zeon fucking shits).
an armored core crossover putting the ice worm or something from 6 as an emergency sortie boss would be the obvious slam dunk
Tonight is gonna be lit.Anyone else did preparations?
Pre-flight checks complete, ready to taxi.
>>582635176I hope you get to finish AC8 before your heart attack.
>>582635342went to the cardiologist last week, no worries, i'm gucci
I'm trying to explain the Ace Combat universe to my zoomer brotherwe are both Chuds; which country is Israel and which is Iran again?
>Drinking Monster
>>582635176Meh. I got a thing of cashews I guess.
>>582635558Sotoa is Iran. Belka is Israel but they're not relevant to 8. ...Right?
>>582635558Belka is israelwe don't really have iran
>>582633702>the collab with a property owned by bamco>the collab with a property not owned by bamcoI bet I know the answer to this.
>>582635689>Sotoa is Iranyeah I kinda got that from the woke web series zero hour episode 2
>>582635558>which country is IsraelWhichever country you fly for.
>>582635558>which country is IsraelWell, which country went Samson option only on their own soil?
>>582635689Sotoa are techno mongols
>>582634158If they do skins it'll quite possibly be the original idols again so you're fine.If not it'll probably be one of these since their game is the new hotness, better pick one of them now so you can be ready when it happens.
>>582636185I need to fuck Ume, so I hope her plane is meta
>>582635558Israel isn't really a thing, Iran is mashed with a bunch of other shit for Sotoa, Belka is Germany but with Russian-grade neo-imperial seething.
>>582636606>infiltrates other nations because they feel superior and the chosen people>the "holy land of belka">they wage forever wars between otherwise neutral countries>samson optionBelka is 100% israel
>>582636458hell yeah, we're retard fucker bros
>>582636746Literally all of that applies to the ziggers
>>582635176>Can't preload because I bought my code off kinguin>They only start sending the codes on release day>Probably won't even get it halfway through tomorrow>Still gotta wait on the download once I do get itSlightly cheaper price but at what cost?
>>582637725This is strange. I never used kinguin, but sites like G2A and Instant Gaming always gave advanced access keys.
>Watching a video about Ace Combat>It turns into a segway video about Project Wingman>Turns into a video about tranny gender identityOh my God the memes are true about PW.
>>582638271Your issue is watching Geller in the first place.

>>582636894Literally look up which regions are considered the holy land and what are some of the most prominent groups that consider themselves to be the chosen people.
>>582638271Reality is a fucking simulation, I swear to god. I am watching that right now, and just got to that part. What in the fuck is going on? Are you me? Am I you?
>>582638669Bro I got linked it on my Discord. I didn't even actively seek it out.
>>582638854This shit was linked to me a month ago and I just now got around to it. The odds are kinda crazy.
I preordered the deluxe edition only to wait for the wemod cheats anyway and to use creamapi later to get DLCs
>>582638271>>582638350>>582638502Holy shit, this dude is pretentious as fuck. Who watches this shit?

>>582638502The first half was ok but I did not expect the second half, well, the guy's a jew so I guess I should have seen something like this coming.
>>582640048he is even worse than a jew, he is a left leaning video essayist who specializes in videogame media literacy critique
>>582639032hajimaruyooooo
>>582640119No, he is literally jewish.
>>582639914they’re not daily meds, just for anxiety attacksbut that doesn’t mean I may or may not take one while playing tomorrow >>582640004that’s unfortunate, they take extreme self control to be effective as medicine

I use Windows 10, I don't want to switch, but it seems like AC8 is really insistent that I use Windows 111. why?2. I'm not fucking "upgrading," so would you guys recommend virtual machine or dual-boot? (assume that hardware specs are a non-issue)3. there's not some other workaround option, is there?
>>582640517it'll probably just werk
>>582640517It's not really a requirement for Windblows 11 but for Directx 12. All of the recent releases "requiring" W11 worked perfectly fine on 10, but shat the bed immediately if you SOMEHOW couldn't run DX12
>>582640580you really think so?I'm super new to PC gaming, so I wouldn't know for sure, but my initial searches make it seem like OP version requirements are a hard limit
>>582640683They usually are because the OS needs to support whatever graphics API the game is using, that's why most games that required win10 could't run on win7.Win11 has the same directx version as win10 so this is not an issue.
>>582640683I hereby second the comments made by >>582640670.
>>582640683Microsoft have stopped supporting 10 outside security updates (which also stop very soon) so a lot of devs aren't listing it. But there's nothing special about 10 compared to 11 that'd stop games running.Advanced access starts in 11 hours, just wait and there'll be reports from people who've tried it so we'll know for sure. Linux too.
>>582640517They only guarantee it will continue to work on win11 (for as long as that's relevant).It works just fine on Linux btw.
>>582640517What >>582640670 says. Aside from the TPM 2.0 chip requirement, W10 and W11 aren't really that different.
>>582641007Linux should work since apparently one reviewer was able to run it on Steam Deck which isn't officially supported.
>>582640670>>582640947>>582640954>>582641007>>582641045>>582641046thanks for the intel, buddieshope and optimism: restored
>>582641078
>>582640517W10 isn't officially supported anymore in the consumer space, that's probably why.
wake me up if I can play it with a 1070...
>>582641330if you spend less than 2 hours trying to get it to run, you can still refund it if it doesn't work
>>582641007>Microsoft have stopped supporting 10 outside security updates (which also stop very soon)Microsoft knows a ton of people are still on 10 so they offered extended security updates util october 2027
>>582639032that port runwayis pretty cool
>>582622324I really prefer the first version that came outhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw7W7GfVgMk
>>582641330You'll have to wait and see what happens when someone turns off raytracing. If it somehow doesn't break all the lighting to the point that it's unplayable then you might be in luck.
>>582641330
>>582641703I thought that ended this year. I suck at paying attention.I said fuck it and got 11 a while ago and nothing relevant seems to have changed for me. It's pretty similar to 10. Except the start menu's worse, I don't know why they did that.
>>582642127>I thought that ended this yearIt did, but they extended it again lol

>>582642403nice space bar bro
Gun'n'ball bros are too strong.
>>582643217let them take the top spotsI would be worried if we got too popular 2bh
>>582643460It's pre-orders though, so it's not really its final form. That usually manifests in the week following the release.
>>582643217CS is free, Wardogs is the new FOTM and like half the price, and fútbol is like the biggest _thing_ globally. I'd say that's pretty damn impressive for the funny plane game.

What dictates the pricing exactly. What is bumco's logic here.
>>582643984so what's stopping us from posing as jeets via vpn and getting the game at a discount?
holy shit I hadn't actually looked at the price
CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL AWAY? CAN YOU TAKE ALL AWAY? WELL, YOU SHOVED IT IN MY FACE! THIS PAIN YOU GAVE TO ME!
>>582643984>Israelis getting jewed hardHeh
>>582644203Steam requires a local payment method from that country to make purchases or lock in that region's store.In other words I don't think you can buy shit unless you have a card issued by a local bank.
you will never go hiking with your colleagues for research
>>582644315That's actually pretty close to Valve's recommended pricing. Though it's at least slightly overpriced in nearly every country for some reason. Or maybe this means it's underpriced in the US?>>582644203They've put a lot of effort into blocking people trying that. It's very hard to fool Steam like that these days.

>>582644771it's always been>JUST PL[unintelligible]for me
>>582644582Maybe they understand that the game is so demanding that the audience capable of running it will have spare shekels to cough up regardless. Like if you have money to build a PC that can reliably handle a UE5 game then you can probably spend 50+ bucks on a videogame.
Tonight I'm closing this tab and I'm not coming back until I've finished the game.Have fun, bros. We made it.

>>582644747WE HAVE THE WINGS TO RISE
>>582644582a vpn absolutely works but you need a local card and billing address. I wanted to buy the game with my NZ card because it's like a 10% discount but unfortunately it's not a visa or mastercard. I could theoretically have set up paypal or something but my NZ phone number expired so just gave up
>>582644747Kino>all those cattle in the comments squealing about discslol, lmao even
>>582645153feels good to be PDT
>>582645313You shouldn't be excusing unironic enshitiffication just because it's a vidya from your favorite series. Now obviously the decision isn't on Aces, but there's nothing wrong with raising the stink around stuff published by Sony.
GOING INSANE JUST LET ME INNNN
>>582645313>>582645687I bought on steam, and I sort of feel like the ship has sailed on discs anyway. But it's probably a good time for a reminder that Sony wants digital only so they can use dynamic pricing. So for example showing you're a goodest pay piggy by buying the special edition and battle passes means they'll charge more for the same game to you than for other people. Sony has also demonstrated (with movies) they have no problem straight up deleting things you "bought" from your account for arbitrary reasons, like because of licenses expiring. Remember, licenses with the plane manufacturers is one reason we don't get the old games on sale...
>>582644747Holy shit we really are just getting straight up Gundam music huh
what else are you niggas playing while waiting for 8?I'm playing Far Cry 4, DOOM and EDF 5
>>582646945At this point you'd better hope someone bothers ripping the digital copy of games for preservation in case those "licenses" are "expired" down the line. Even then, you're also gonna have to rely on yourself to pick what to save because there's always a chance the powers that be will shut the archives down eventually anyway.

>>582648078Ehhh, I'm not sure. I didn't like the map, nor did I like the story. Though the villain was kind of alright. I like how delirious the story of 5 feels. Especially when you pay attention to the radio that keeps reminding you about the ever worsening state of the outside world. I think FC5 might be my guilty pleasure, I've played through the game doing a full cleanup at least 4 times. No other Ubisoft game had this effect on me, not even close.

>>582651169Watch it be Mixtape or Mewgenics>>582651313Wasn't the case in 2015 (MGSV) or with Death Stranding.
>>582651350AC7 was a nothingburger in the normie sphere but since Scamco actually is shilling AC8 everywhere to everyone it will be surely nominated.
>>582650945Top Gundam
On the topic of Top gun, I hope they shamelessly rip off the canyon run from Maverick
>>582651405>both Kojima gamesDorito Pope wanted to get into his pants since forever. DS2 getting shafted was just a bad attempt at playing hard.
>>582651519im sure we'll get the entire movie in parts.
>>582650945if only gundam got games as good as ace combat
>>582651519But Maverick already yoinked Cape Rainy's canyon run and Bunker Buster's targeting gimmick from 7
>>582651773Now they should combine them
>>582651313>>582651405GTAV, GTAVI, MGSV, and Death Stranding all have original scores. We know GTAVI has an original score from the gameplay reveal.Having externally-produced licensed music does not correlate to having or not having an original score/soundtrack.Otherwise, we would say that Ace Combat 5 does not have an original soundtrack.
Were you able to sleep some? I couldn’t.
>>582652287I felt that this line sounded very naturally scripted and delivered,especially in comparison to what we're used to.
>>582652287I got ~2 hours. <<Neural load at 90%>>
>>582651906Why is anyone on here sweeping for the game awards?The best soundtrack award is sponsored by fucking spotifyYou are not convincing anyone that DEath Stranding or GTA won those awards for their original music.
>>582652287It launches midnight for me and I need to be 4am in bed at the absolute latest to not miss work that day.
>>582652287Still wagecucking but I'm almost ready to collapse. Will go to sleep as soon as I get home and I've already set an alarm for midnight.
how long before itasha skins/mods?
>>582652634I am not and was not trying to convince you of that.
>>582651906>MGSVDude please. MGSV came out the same year as Bloodborne and The Witcher 3. Also look the fuck up the description of the BEST SOUNDTRACK category. It still states "original and/or licensed".
>>582652835I wish the other amiibo skins in Legacy had the same kind of theming as the Mario set. The Star Fox Falken would have fucked hard with an Arwing livery.
#3
>>582652919What you think I'm arguing for is a misunderstanding.And the category is called "Best Score and Music".
>>582653219>Counter strikePeople still play that? No shade at the game but I'm shocked it's still THIS popular
>>582653219Still 5th on global according to SteamDB.
>>582653338Yes along with every other big f2p game you've heard about over the past ten years.Also, a lot of people play skins market rather than the game itself.
>>582653338Counter Strike is basically a gambling game with a shooter attached at the hip. People open boxes, sell the contents via shady third party sites and repeat the process.
>>582626691wouldn't collapsing the space elevator basically destroy half the world
>>582654921no, it'll float away, it's anchored to the ground
if this game does well, it'll be the first game with debra wilson and an entry in her rough post-madtv career that isn't completely fucking cursed.that's when you know you can believe in the wings of theve
>>582655127>that isn't completely fucking cursedWhat do you mean?
>>582653338At least 60% of the active playerbase is SEA or Russian gambling bots
>>582655101it floats away if you cut the bottom but what if it gets cut around halfway
>>582653338valve games are just full of bots
>>582647735people care about game awards? paid-for corposlop?
>>582655285>60%It takes just one google search to disprove what you typed there.
>>582650857>>582650945A88 came out only a couple weeks after Gundam. similar themes but AC is just area 88
>>582655520the promotional footage showed damage to the bottom of the space elevator so I assume that this would be the most likely place for it to be cut given conflict in Strangereal, obviously it would be different if the scenario specified otherwise but since it didn't I just took a guess
Posting the canonical powerlevel rankings before we have to figure out where to place 8. Something in my gut tells me it's gonna be A+ unless Katabuchi pulls off the impossible for him.
>>582656649ac3 sucks. better played on youtube
>>582656649Excellent post.Let the games......BEGIN
>>582652287you people are so melodramatic
>>582647501watching forsens vod of him playing terraria a few days ago, prolly read mango after I finish it
>look at me I rate AC3 aren't I coolWHAT A MEMEI grew up playing that shit (the solitary version) and while the JP version is superior it doesn't deserve to be that high. I can still play any mainline game that came after and have fun. Playing 3 today is torture, shit aged like ass. STOP.
>>582656649>ACX over AC5Finally a reasonable tierlist. Ace Combat X is my third-favorite game in the series.
>>582656649Joint assault can't possibly be THAT bad
>>582656649project shitman isn’t ace combatpost disregarded
>>582657113AC2 is unironically a more fun game than 3. 3 just has the cool anime story
>>582657294I know it sounds batshit insane and the words of someone with FFF--- taste to say this,but I'd rather replay JA than a few of the other titles.
7 hours to go
>>582657426As a kid, and once again I have to stress it it was the castrated version of the game, the most memorable part for me was the soundtrack. Come to think of it Namco had some bangers all over the shop. This, Tekken and RIdge Racer which I never actually playedThough, unlike Quake 2 and BF Vietnam, AC3 never ended up shaping my music tastes.
>>582656649>No Tom Clancy's Hawx in its own tier at the bottomOne job
WE ARE THE WINGS TO RISEEEWE ARE THE WINGS TO RISEEEEE
Finally played frontline 59, did they get a 12 year old to write this shit? the base game is cringe as fuck already but the stuff here takes it to the next level.
They should drag Mobius 1 out of his grave to make him fight Free Erusea one last time
>drydock big enough to build/maintain 4+ KirovsThis megafloat is going to be so fun to blow up bros
I played X around release time, and haven’t played it since. I still have my UMD and I want to play it again without giving myself carpel tunnel. Can I emulate it and remap the controls to make it play like the big three?
>>582658175Times like this, I kinda wish PA came up with some fictional surface combatant designs instead of using late 80s soviet stuff.
>>582658082Banging soundtrack though. Clusterfuck final boss was fun too even though the explosions are deafening
>>582658232More or less. I think you have a decent idea of what you'll need to do concerning input mapping.Of course, you already experienced the lack of analog inputs on the PSP, so you know what you're getting yourself into.Go for it dude
>>582656649>5 in Dgo fuck yourself, dishonest cuntat this point you faggots hate on 5 for the sake of hating on something
>>582658082How is it cringe?
>>582658082It is cringy, especially in 59s mission 4 where the guest briefing lady talks about striking “at the enemy’s nerve center”. I’ve heard that line so many times in other media, -facepalm.
>>582658175how many civilian workers are we vaporizing in this mission buddies?
Well, the game is guaranteed to break six digits in terms of the CCU.
>>582656649I'd put AC3 in A but above 7 in the same tier
>>582658232Just bind dpad left/right to LB/RB in your controller
>>582656649I don't think 5 belongs in D, put it in A+, it's still a very good game just not as good as 4 or Zero in my opinion.
>>582656649Where does Airforce Delta Strike fit into all of this?
>>582658765That’s what I thought, thanks. I’m hoping there is a way I can get free look on the right stick but I don’t know.
>>582658991See if you can bind analog to both sticks then maybe something like binding both PSP shoulder buttons to one of the dpad buttons, so you can emulate pressing both shoulder buttons
>>582658971In the same category of pic related, as failed clones that were really fun anyway.
>>582657294joint assault actively made me motion sick, and the only other game that i've ever had do that was boneworksthe weapon selection system being pick 2 was really cool though and it was the direction i hoped the series would go
>>582659426I remember this one. The plot is basically Gundam Seed without the Gundams. Definitely a fun game, great visuals.
I wonder what the fuck happened in between 7 and 8 that took them SEVEN.HALF YEARS.
>>582658082The lady villain was stupid but there missions she wasn't there were great.>plugging in the hole after Cold War>Eminent Domain showing up in the shore defense missionAnd especially >Crystal Kingdom denies the request C'mon that's chills every time.
>>582659734PA got promoted to be a proper studio by Bamco and they joined with ILCA while hiring plenty of devs. That and they probably had to relearn Unreal Engine for UE5.
>>582660114>ILCAInternational Lactation Consultant Association?????????? Kono??????????????
>>582659734Imma be honest chief, that seems like an only slightly extended gap between games in this modern era we live in.Aside from the guaranteed yearly franchises most sequels take over 5 years, 7.5 is not that shocking.
>>582660290BasedTime to milk Tasha
>>582659734>>582660114nta but I sometimes wonder this myselfunless project aces is a really small studio, I don't get how it can take seven years. granted I know nothing about gamedev but how does it take that long to upgrade plane models (surely they didn't remake them all from scratch), make some mostly empty maps and then script the missions
>>582643984localized pricing so that people who live in poorer nations can still buy the game₹ 3999 is not $41.65, it's ₹ 3999
>>582659734I'm curious to know, too.A few other longstanding Bamco game franchises (of what might be argued are simpler games)had longer gaps during the company-wide transition from UE4 to UE5.
>>582660489>A few other longstanding Bamco game franchises new Tales Of never ever
Man, I need to finish this piece before October 2 rolls out. Give me strength, /aceg/ bros.
>>582659734
>>582660848Why would they do this?
>>582660475Currency conversion rates are a thing though? How come they charge people in Kazakhstan more than the ones in the US?
>>582661184currency conversion and other forms of alchemy aren't real and should not be factored in while pricingbamco just hates the kazakhs
>>582660774I know your pain.

We forget how many flying games there used to be and that a lot of them were crap. I played this. I contend that it might be the worst of the ace combat ripoffs.
>>582635176got myself a 4 pack redbull n some burritos I'm not sleeping tonight
>dude I need to pull an all nighter I need to play this for 10 hours straight I need to beat it in one sitting I JUST NEED TO OKYou'd enjoy things more if you allowed yourself to actually spend some time on them
>>582662634there was one called heatseeker i liked as a kid, only AC-like game with the yak 141, mig 27, and the weaponized SR-71

I'm just gonna rub my big ol' belly and take a big nap in a couple of hours because such is the power of neetdom.
>>582665074Same, but at work, because I like getting paid while I sleep.
>>582644747Not liking the new anime but dubbed vocal tracks. inb4 ace combat is anime. In The Zone does not sound like this shit.
is it supposed to still say coming oct1st even though i have the deluxe
>>582665481Yes, that's the actual release being shown. It's different from early entry.
Finally got the shipping confirmation So I guess I don't get to play until next week
Reminder that there is no such thing as a Sotoan civilian
Alright, put up your predictions.
>>582666117"cope is alive" is obviously true, and further, he's going to be the actual final Sotoan ace when it turns out all the mythos about him was real
I'm gonna be playing this in the spring that is usually pretty hot heremy 4070 spikes to as high as 87C during heavy loads in hot daysshould I be worried buddies?
>>582666442Plot twist, he's dead, but he's gonna be the prototype/test subject for the COFFINs.
More overt AC3 connections is all I want. More AC3 planes too. If they deliver that I can forgive whatever nonsense Sunao Katabuchi wrote in.
>>582666117
Cope is alive and he's always been Rex (You) all along, Rex just had brain damage the entire game from the crasht. Nsider
>>582666117This is the correct answer sheet, marked with X where it’s absolutely correct and ? where it depends on perspective
>>582663398I enjoy things by being fully immersed for 12 hours, then go to sleep and dream about it
>>582659734Craftsmanship. Making a game of this fidelity takes more than manpower and money. They would have spent ages just tinkering with every little detail until it flowed exactly like they wanted to.
it's honestly surprising that it's taken until now for ace combat to have explicit supernatural elements in the plot
>>582668093Bishop had straight up prophetic dreams in Assault Horizon, to the point that he recognises Markov's shark livery despite never having actually met the guy before.
>>582668078what does this mean? how do god-tier games from the 90s and 2000s have just as much "craftsmanship" but only take 1 or 2 years to make?
>>582668539I think you might just be retarded if you believe that
Let's see, I'm guessing that the player character is a newtype or something like that and we pick up the "Mihaly AI training plot" to learn they've been studying footage of previous aces/protagonists such as Mobius 1 because they are also new types and the player has been unknowingly subject to some experiments to make them a super ace protagonist cyber newtype
Is it #1 in your region?
>>582668727and all THAT leads into AC3 Nemo
>>582668539Anon, you might as well be wondering why it takes less time to build a house than a skyscraper. The scale is completely different on every level.
>>582668539Literally just think about what Ace Combat 4 actually looks like. How much work was put into each 3D model? How many unique 3D models are there? Compare that the Ace Combat 7. Just for buildings and trees alone. In the modern day people expect more artwork of better quality and you can't get away with copy-pasting the same warehouse or the same tree 100 times. Then this goes for the UI, sounds, the flight model (yes believe it or not), the way the camera moves...
HEY FAGSLONG TIME
>>582669130Who are you?

Enjoy the music and pretty clouds, have fun shooting down flankers. >>582672202Would love to but I had to uninstall 7 to make room for 8.
There's no hope for my country
>>582672806>steam only getting 4 MB/sSure it's not manual bandwidth throttling?
>>582672202>AC7's stangereal globe not spinningPeer-to-peer shit itself for my router it seems. I'm glad AC8 doesn't have it.

I don't quite get how the AC8 lobby works, can we just have a permanent /aceg/ lobby available or does someone have to keep making it?
>>582673271I want to say no but i know some IRL creatures that wasted their lives away on black desert online.I get the autistic children on minecraft, i get the autistic adults on transport fever\magic, hell, i even get the 90% normie population with fucking FC27 but goddamn, AION2 is unexpected on this list

Why is AION2 so high.
>>582673013The worst thing in this image is MTG Arena being that high what the FUCK is wrong with your country big dawg?
Idk how to check mexico, maybe it's for the best
Honestly these charts are yet to be finalized. The ones buying it RIGHT NOW are probably buying the deluxe one to get in early.

>>582675476I think even if you finished the game two months after October 1st/2nd (and avoided as much shit as you could in the meantime)we'd still all be here to talk with you about your experiences.No one here of reasonable temperament would make fun of you for exercising restraint/patience.
>>582675476I preordered for the PS5.Considering preordering for steam too just to play AC0 on steamdeck.I HATE THAT THEY REFUSE TO MAKE THESE PORTS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE OF PREORDERS. FUCK.

>>582673013Ayo transport fever 3?????
>>582676612You should see the amount of dudes requesting time off at the warehouse for GTA6. It's ridiculous.I don't understand, the most normie AAA game to ever exist, and it's gonna be ported and rereleased for at least 15 years. What makes these guys think they're missing out on some sort of limited post-release zeitgeist or fanbase revelry? What's the fucking fan community for GTA?
>>582677148Gen Z and Gen A are FOMO coded.
>>582677148I haven't cared about GTA since 4 but it's only natural to want to play something before it gets spoiled right
>>582677325Spoilers in gta6 you steal cars and rob people.
>>582677148The feeling of impending doom that we're not going to make it to 2028
>>582677526spoilers in AC8 are that you fly planes and shoot missiles
>>582677526Spoilers in Ace Combat: You shoot down planes and sink boats with a healthy dose of superweapons.
>>582677601Spoiler that shit, idiot. The fuck are you thinking.
>>582677578>>582677625Yeah but what's the fucking twist and story development in GTA6? The scenario and setup makes it so obvious what's going to happen between these two characters. They commit crimes and betray each other in the end. That's the trope, we've seen it before. You can't compare AC to GTA.
>>582677325Do normal people even care about the story in GTA? You were a dork loser if you actually played the missions back in the 00's
aieeeeeeeee release it faster so I know how it runs on mid/low-end PCs
its official, ac8 floppedsee you guys back here for ac9
How come there are still no benchmarks or pc tests...
>>582675292wait what? today??
>>582678582but if it flops there won't be an ac9...
>>582677941What's the twist and story development in Ace Combat? The scenario and setup makes it so obvious what's going to happen between the FCU and Sotoa; you get invaded, and then drive the invaders back. That's the trope, we've seen it before.you can be wholly reductive like this towards anything and even if GTA VI looks like it's going to be boring and built for the lowest common denominator (it will) you will not survive the coming winter if that's you're understanding of why people are hyped about it
>>582677967I honestly think the stories in rockstar games are dog water. But I have to give them 11/10 for how they write and animate their characters for cutscenes. Every cutscene is tasty, but the scenarios and overarching stories are whatever.Man, is there no way to enable legacy captcha on 4chan anymore? This new shit makes it impossible to drink and drive here.
>>582677967reminds me that all the mexican and black kids i grew up with were GTA loreheads for some reason and self-inserted as gangbangers with gay little gangsta OCs because of SA, though this was norcal. did white suburb kids view GTA differently then?
>>582675292>this game changed my life>2 hours long vid>never plays it again
>>582677967I get recommended videos specifically about their stories all the time, I just never watch them because I don't care for GTA. The only game's story I played much of when I was younger was 5, and all I got from it is that Franklin is the only actual human being in the entirety of Los Santos. >>582678782I like the stories in RDR well enough.
>>582678782are you seriously being pedantic about gta and acsome of you just have to be right about everything
>>582678885I genuinely think IV has a great story (or at least a very good character arc for Niko).
>game unlocks at midnight>preload ends while I'm wageslaving (thanks, TIM)>remotely install while still at work>come back home to freshly installed AC8 ready to goI mean, sure, I could've taken a day off but is there a better feeling than this?Americans and their afternoon unlock need not apply.
I'm really surprised to see TRANSPORT FEVER THREE that high on some lists.

>>582679218Tim?Telecom Italia Mobile?What the fuck are you doing until midnight
>>582678782Nothing we've seen of GTAVI has been anything to be hyped about though they even downgraded the visuals from the first trailer, the main characters are vapid as fuck, what's even the story? You're being argumentative about something you agree is tripe
>>582679421no its okay, just name it ACX2

now to stare at a wall for a couple of hours
>>582680452great tip.Also if you are a ramlet like me (only 16gb) download ISLC and flush out your ram before starting the game
SOON
Does the color of the sky mean anything to you?
>>582680707Post timezone please?Might it that be that the steam release isn't in 3 hours but instead in 4?
<<Three hours, pilots.>>
Where did you guys preorder?

>>582681187Steam. Usually I'd try and find a cheaper deal but I didn't want to gamble on not being able to play it immediately on launch.

>>582681187Fanatical. Saved me a little over 10 bucks.
>>582681564Bro the premium upgrade is $20. What else were you gonna do with that?
I only have a 15$ chinesium gamepad that I couple with x360ce for some games that might not recognize it. Am I gonna be fine?
>>582681564>yfw daddy fatsacks is gonna blow through the campaign before the game even comes out and seal club normies in ACO with the pimps-only edition OP starter Morgan
>>582681973It's a physical copy
>>582682098Yes. If it's recognized by windows the game should autosupport it.
cant enjoy shit if theres work the next day, im calling off friday to have 3 whole days to enjoy the game
>>582682098Probably. I'm still using a Logitech F310 which is like the cheapest plasticky piece of shit imaginable but at least I've never seen the potentiometers go bad and cause stick drift(but the springs wear out and stop the stick from returning to dead centre).
I already beat like half the game on gofile. Noobs.
>he plays on the consolefag plastic
>>582682545>noobs
>>582682680You can get decent hall effect gamepads for under $100, nobody's forcing you to buy the extremely overpriced controllers that console manufacturers shit out.

>Sotoa-Usea War followed by some inconsequential shit which is followed by>Intercorporate WarSurely Kono will not shove another twenty wars in between these two.
>>582684540Hey I'm not shaming you. There's no point in keeping that shit around unless you give a fuck about leveling up your steam account. And opening cases is basically gamba, which might leave you with less money than you start with.
>>582666607No actually, gpus are designed to be at max throttle and right under maximum temperature. What you have to worry about is the power cable and long term dust accumulation. You’re fine.I would run my 4080 during the summer, except I don’t have A/C upstairs gets way too fuggin hot.
>>582684619There's plenty of space for wars in the rest of Strangereal. I want frozen tundra warfare between the Holy Lands of Nord Belka and the penguin empire of Antarctia.
Those dudes who test games on different hardware better work quick, I wanna see what's the absolute bare minimum to run this game.

I wonder how many war crimes you can commit in this one.
its time for the ghost to embrace his wings
>>582686016<I can make i[ your war crime count to be whatever.>
Do 16gb ram plebs (me) have any chance of running this on medium? I'm also on win10 which helps a bit.
The only thing I'm kind of irritated is that I'll have to wait for the early access to be over to try the game. Until then I'll have to dodge a bunch of spoilers.
ONE HOUR LEFT BUDDIES

>>582687276probably
>>582687454It's said this since 9pm rolled around for me?
>>582688097Steam always rounds down. It unlocks at 22:00 UTC(midnight CEST), so 1 hour and 53 minutes or close enough to 2 hours.
>thought i could stay up to play it>old man brain says noD:
Man, I'm still at work, maybe I should tell my boss I'm sick, but he might know what I'm about.
>>582688178It said 2 hours before 9pm and now says 1. Rounding down would imply it would have said 1 before 9.
>>582688412It rounds down from 2 hours and 1 minute to 2 hours and 1 hour 59 minutes to 1 hour.
I HAVE SO FAR TO GO
>>582687320You won't hear anything from me at least.

>>582684619Ya know that makes me wonder. Are there diff corpos outside of Usea in 2040? Cause it seems intercorporate is Usea related alone (ofc back then they didn't make the other continents yet.)
>>582689659All of that in 3 is simulated anyway. I'm not even sure if it's canon.
Broken Wings is such a bitch of a mission, how do you buddies even A rank this shit?
>>582637725In my experience they say all that release day stuff to cover their asses, for games with early access they usually send when early access start..Heck, I got my DD Dark Arisen key today(which I thought was AC8 fuck you Kinguin), so there's a good chance they'll deliver.
>>582690231Like with every other mission you get good angles and pray your missiles connect. The mission must be beaten within 4 minutes to get A, so 3:30 should be more than possible since AC3 is generous with time limits.
Why is reddit humor so bland? Thr image doesn't convey anything funny, it just explanes itself
Please start rampantly making fake spoilers so it obscures tge real spoilers
>>582690231s ranking ac3 is a meme
>>582690167We do know in 2030 Dision/Yoko get gonked, and sometime between 2030-2040 Simon builds Nemo to kill Dision's simulated form.Now, maybe Simon ran the sims in like 2033 and got stuff like Neucom and Rena's rises, the establishment of UPEO, city locations, all of that could be questionable. It probably isn't, but there is a chance. But we at least know the inciting incident does happen that'll eventually build to the 2040 conflict. GR will get scared by Sublimination, try to cover up the research violently, and Simon will get pissed about Yoko's death and blame Dision over it and kickstart his Nemo project. They could probably chance anything else in an actual remake if they wanted, but I think those first two things are set in stone.
>>582687472You could have got better wings...
>>582690231Just fly gooder. Just did a sloppy run since I haven't played AC3 in a while and got more than a minute under the A rank time target.
I’m excited to fly the SU-25
>>582690729being lucky and getting all the good angles is one thing but the fact that I have to dodge 12 high-end fighters gunning for my ass at the same time is where it fucks me, those missiles are unrelenting compared to the other missions
the fucking mobius one return, in poor taste or was it good?
Why did Rex get brain damage and conjured up another version of himself?
Almost finished with 0 on my PS2, then going to move on to 6 on my eckbock 360.
>>582691245Concussion and internal brain bleeding. Crashing into the sea is not pretty, that shit's as hard as concrete once you go fast enough.
>>582691245It's a simulation!!!
Why did Tasha's sister join on Sotoa's side?
>>582691018Continuing on this, I would believe all the key war stuff like Rena/Neucom/Night Raven/etc stuff that happens regardless of path is pretty locked in. Unless Simon literally built his own Data Swallow version (3.0.0 is released in 2019 according to an Anchorhead Bay billboard in AC7), then 3.2.2. releases in 2040, which is what you use in the game's menus.
>>582691245<< Your memories don’t line up anymore. Now your past is broken glass. So tell me, Wings of Theve......<< When I put a missile through that mirror… which one of you actually dies >>
I'm gonna theve
>>582691661Hello Steve! We at Microsoft Tech Support apologize greatly for your inconvenience.
I hope this game is very successful and PA can quickly say "we're making the next one!" and then 9 in 2031 maybe
Stealing is wrong.
>>582691245Well you see Rex was a big fan of Black Ops 1 growing up and made up his own Reznov to keep him stable. That's why his name is Cope.

Is Rena the only character with an Oriental, specifically Japanese surname? I think it's Japanese. Are there other characters with Japanese surnames? This kind of stands out to me because I don't think there's a country equivalent of Japan in Strangereal but Strangereal itself wasn't really a thing in 3.

one hour remains
<< ALL CALL SIGNS, CHECK IN >>
>>582693504It finished downloading for almost everyone. You still have to decrypt it once the game launches and even on a very fast PC that'll take at least 15 minutes.

On september 29th, 2027 the Japanese developers established an elite school for the top one percent of its autists. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to ensure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world.They succeeded.Today, the internet calls it Ace Combat. The flyers call it: /ACEG/
