Reminds me of the older Star Wars Trilogy arcade.
Very rare you see arcade machine trailers now, at least here in the west.

Damn; I probably probably use this machine if I ever see it now. Nice to see the devs so enthusiastic.

Too bad it's an outdoor building with huge barn doors that stay open until winter rolls around. They're lucky that the machines still run. I want to go back there to finish on a good ending since I always failed that game, but the shitty weather throughout winter and spring put me off. Edit: Wait, in select arcades now? HUUUUUUUGH!!!
Wonder how much it would cost to get a complete machine to take home.....i'd buy one and stick it my room.
So it's Ace Combat Assault Horizon, except with a Star Wars skin and you're permanently stuck in Dogfight Mode? Can we get a Ace Combat reskin without the Dogfight Mode and for a home gaming system instead?
We have an arcade here in Bismarck which specializes in video game e-sport teams for CSGO and stuff, but they also have an extensive arcade machine setup. Gonna have to drop a line to the owner to see if he can start a fundraiser to get this machine added.

The dome is fantastic, but man the game really sucked. It's ironic that when you take such an arcadey mechanic as DFM and then make an arcade game about it, all it does is accentuate how awful it is. Man, I was really disappointed with the game, even though I had no expectations. The dome itself was super cool though, it covers your whole field of view. However! The whole concept would work [I]so[/I] much better as a remake of the awesome Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game. That game was hard and actually took skill. It was basically a rail shooter, but you were manually aiming all your shots and it was a lot of fun. As long as you're still manually aiming your shots in this game, it's gonna be great.
Looks neat, though it's too bad the Arcade scene is all but dead in America now. There's one Arcade left in my city and it surprisingly has the old vector version, which is still my favorite one. [video=youtube;iXOTExRQJSE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXOTExRQJSE[/video]
Here's the full play of it. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAk2R7HmHDM[/media]
I want to hack that thing to run IL:2 or XW:A or another proper combat flight sim, instead of a simple rail shooter.

If it's going to be anywhere, it has to be there.

You could probably find it in vegas on the strip, its the only place that has up to date arcade machines that I've seen personally around America.

Was hoping for something like battlefront 2's space missions. The limited movement seems like a turn off.
Now racing pod please
