Ace Combat Thread - "Damn it, My plane's been swiss cheesed!" - New game information soon

[MajorMattem]

This thread is still alive? Shit. Sorry. I created a new one thinking that it was dead.

Ah, well. Might as well just use this thread instead.

Anyone actively playing the game? We could set up a list of players.

[Capgun]

I just searched and this one came up, I wouldn't exactly call it alive. I have been playing it a little bit, and for some reason, My PS3 internet connection is awful

[Zezibesh]

Can't say I enjoyed it that much. The campaign missions lasted about three minutes each and the Comona remix was awful. Not to mention how in the full version you'll need fuel to play even the campaign.
Co-op is extremely easy and feels like a point race rather than air combat. I had a single memorable game where I was playing with some people from /v/, and someone started humming Journey Home. We ended the mission singing it together in terrible voices.

didn't sound as good as this, but pretty close

I'll probably play through the campaign once it's out and then forget it. I hope no one spends money in it.

Here's a beta test survey you can use to send feedback, just mention how the fuel system sucks shit, the game is too easy, and you want an AC HD collection. [url]https://psnbeta.eu.playstation.com/AceCombat/feedback.php[/url]

[Windy]

The fuel system is going to kill Ace Combat Infinity, Unless they change it.

Which will be a shame because the gameplay is top notch. But that fuel system man, it's just cheeky to have that, along side microtransations for contracts, skins and emblems.

[Capgun]

I've actually been enjoying it, but I keep dropped from the fucking game. I don't know if my Ps3 is having a heart attack with my connection, or if their servers are just straight garbage

[MajorMattem]

Anyone wanna play together?

[suXin]

At least you can play the campaign the first time for free.

[Zezibesh]

I'll just point out it's out now.
For the next 10 days there will be free fuel drops and you get 10 fuel for free when you start playing. You also get 20 fuel if you finish the fifth campaign mission, but you need to spend credits and fuel to unlock and play it, unless you buy the campaign key which makes all missions free.

I gotta say, the fifth mission feels like the best AC mission since Zero, so maybe the campaign will be good after all.

I'm kinda expecting the game to die out once they stop handing out free fuel like candy, since then you won't be able to play more than three missions a day.

[hakkoru]

looks like I'll be investing in a ps3 sometime this summer

on a related note a few months ago I bought a ps2 and I've been playing through 4, 5 and 0. Currently on 0 now, it's pretty awesome so far

[Windy]

To buy or not to by that unlimited campaign ticket, that is the question. I have a feeling there's something a miss with it, like it disappears after mission 8 or nonsense. I know so far there's only up to 5 though. I don't know if I should drop some cash into this right now.

I think I might end up with loads of fuel stocked up for the weekend if I buy that and that starter kit that also contains 20 or so fuel. As much as I hate to support a free to play title, I really want a next gen Ace Combat so you've kind of got your arm twisted.

I think Kazutoki Kono might be trying to get an HD collection of 4, 5 and Zero off and rolling, so I've heard. The more Bamco heard about the AC community,the more likey something good will happen.

It only takes half an hour to burn though 3 regular fuel. I really disagree with that, I wouldn't mind a extreme slow down on research, I just want to blow shit up.

[suXin]

Project NEMO (original JAP Ace Combat 3 translation) is actually alive, in terms of embedding the translation in the game itself.

It's still long way to go, but seems like guys behind this are doing fine now with the technical part.

[hakkoru]

just beat zero. holy shit that was awesome

time to find a copy of ace combat 6 and/or buy a ps3

[suXin]

[URL="http://useatoday.blogspot.ru/2014/06/state-of-project-2014.html"]Here's the latest report on AC3 translation project.[/URL]

[Windy]

Huh, how convenient that this thread gets bumped when I just started on Ace Combat 4 again on expert controled Hard, since Infinity has got me In the mood for a replay. (I was going to play through Deadly Skies 3 but for a game that came out after AC4 and before AC5, the planes control like absolute arse compared to AC). And I've discovered just how douchie Yellow planes can be.

Is there any way to have Missiles hit more reliably? I end up wasting them all up with at least half missing their target.

You kinda have to lead your target with the missiles too. If your plane is pointed behind the target, even if you're locked on, you'll probably miss.

[Zezibesh]

dont launch whenever you're locked on, wait until you've baited them into flying straight for a few seconds, then quickly double tap them

or get pro with guns

[suXin]

that thread title...
[img_thumb]http://i.imgur.com/W0eJ6lC.png[/img_thumb]

Meanwhile Project NEMO has managed to inject the translation into radiochat. It's still hard to believe that we'll get the translated AC3 after about 15~ years since the original game release.

[Windy]

That's a curious little thread title, you got there.

I guess if we're going to hear anything about a next gen Ace Combat, Tokyo Game Show will probery be the best place to hear it.

Here's hoping that gets announced and, it's a return back to Strangereal.

[Hidole555]

Recently started playing AC6 Fires of Liberation again. You know that one mission where they make it seem like a stealthy ground attack mission but then like over half of the entire Estovakian air force ambushes you? Yeah, try that mission while flying the A-10. [I]Fun times.[/I]

[Windy]

Could be worse.

Could be trying to escape from the 8492nd in a A-6 Intruder.

Oh shit I completely forgot that was a thing.

Also, I decided to make myself an Ace Combat avatar. How'd I do?

I like it.

And on an Infinity-related note, anyone see this teaser that came out a few months back?

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0SWIOVCdT0[/media]

There's glimpses of the Falken, X-02 Wyvern, R101-Delphinus and SOLG in there. Hope this means we get more campaign missions too, 8 is really not enough.

[hakkoru]

[Why485]

That it actually looks like a normal Ace Combat game is the best thing they could have done. I still want to see straight up gameplay before I get my hopes up again, but this is promising.

Also hell yeah, flyable F-104.

[shutter_eye5]

Firstly, so the Federal Republic has become a monarchy, now being known as the [B][U]Kingdom of Erusea[/U][/B], and it seems they are going to war against the Osean Federation.

Secondly, The OADF is back again, as well as the Eruseans.

There's literally one small segment in there that includes an F-104 Starfighter.
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/3Ik7mbu.jpg[/IMG]
WHAT? I kinda hope we get even more planes from that era (aka A-4 Skyhawk, F-105 Thunderchief)

A pretty slick Erusean Su-30SM (the version with canards) paintscheme

EDIT: Turns out this cockpit is from a upgraded F-104C

Are we about to see a return of Stonehenge, again? (see towards the end, at about 0:48)

So there's a POW, most likely a fighter pilot (maybe even mercenary), a woman with a child, that one guy (looks like he may be a fighter pilot as well) and that last woman, in which may be pivotal to the story (seeing as, 1: she's stepping off a plane that has the Erusean roundel, 2: might be a part of the new royal family).
In order:

POW #1?

POW #2?

Erusean Pilot (possibly with his family):

Maybe an Erusean Princess?

I think it's quite possible that you might have a combination of storyboard / storyline similar to that of Ace Combat 6, because, there are moments in the trailer that kinda look like you're on the Erusean side, then at times on the Osean side.
Other things, it's giving off some real AC5 feelings / experiences / vibes, which includes pre-rendered CGI cutscenes.
At 0:20 seconds, the HUD / GUI is highly reminiscent of AC5, may be a return to some more realistic amounts of missiles / weaponry (but still Ace Combat... you know what I mean)
Other than that, [B][U]I am so fucking keen[/U][/B] :godzing: :wow: :incredible:

Three white stripes, which appear to cover up a base marking, FG.

[Windy]

I was tempted to make a new thread for Ace Combat.

I do wonder if they are going to have the multiplayer like Infinity, which i honestly wouldn't mind. I would had played so much more of it if it wasn't for the fuel system and my original PS3 packing in. I wouldn't mind Infinity being ported and i'd really sink the time into it if you paid for unlimited play on multiplayer. I don't care if progression is slower, i just want to bomb shit.

I also wonder if you can fit an A10 with a laser loadout. That wouldn't have that satisfying Brrrt though. This all looks like a continuation of a return to form.

[Maestra Fénix]

I had no idea we had an AC thread.

I want to see more about the gameplay. I heard that after AH, they did it right again in Infinity, so hopefully it will be good as it has been always here in 7.

Also PC version pls.

I'm betting it's convicts flying those planes, which is why the markings have been painted over
Osea using prisoners for some deniable shit probably
