thank god, no reason to consider a ps4 now

Just finished AC4 and AC5 and I really enjoyed them! I'm just not getting the prototype aircraft (sucks it not in 6). I kind of prefer AC4's gameplay to 5 only because I can refuel at any point while in AC5 I was constantly running out or super low on missiles by the end of the mission. Really enjoyed the story of 5 though and I'm going to be picking up Zero soon.

Zero is so good. It's my favorite of the trinity.

With Five you kinda need to MG things more often. It's been a while since i touched it. I've got that itch to play them again.

Should I be aiming to outfit everyone in 5 with FALKENs or X O2s?

I played AC4 last night while drunk and man it reminded me of the fun I used to have with this game. I haven't played in a while so I just loaded up a save on expert and jumped in. It was the mission Deep Strike where you have to hide in the ravines when Stonehenge starts firing. The controls took me a sec to get used to but toward the end of the mission I got the hang of things. Once the last bit of the mission kicked in, shit got intense. I tried to go slow to avoid eating shit and sure enough a fighter comes up right behind me in the ravine. Missile locked, fired at me, so in my drunken state I panic and pull up risking getting hit by Stonehenge shit. Luckily it was in between it firing and I narrowly dodge it. I somehow end up behind him and shoot his ass down with vengeance, fuck yeah that's what you get for going after Mobius 1 motherfucker! Then another sharp turn in the ravine so I slow down. Again another fighter comes out of nowhere, this time however AWACS comes with the countdown going, "4...3...2...1...impact". At the same time they notify me, "You are leaving the mission area." I'm on the edge of my couch, "Fuck yes, I'm so close, just a few clicks and I'm done, please make it PLEASE." "WARNING BEEP BEEP" followed by "MISSILE ALERT BEEEEEEEEEEP". Unfortunately the bogey was too close on my ass and this time and I had no where to go so I got shot down. At first I was pissed, devastated being so close to completion, but then I just laughed my ass off at how intense everything was. That quick game felt great, I really hope the new one brings the same feeling.

Holy crap why is Ace Combat Zero so hard to find new? I found 4 and 5 for 30$ new but I can't find Zero.

I bought a new copy of Zero and it didn't work

Have you been checking second hand places? I think i got both 5 and Zero from a store called CEX.

[QUOTE=Highwind017;51913490]Have you been checking second hand places? I think i got both 5 and Zero from a store called CEX.[/QUOTE] Ah I found a basically brand new one for around 30$ I was just surprised that Zero was much harder to find then 4 or 5 haha I just beat Ace Combat Zero and it was pretty good! A bit sad that it was shorter then 5 but it was still enjoyable. That last mission was really good too! Going to pick up Ace Combat 6 eventually but how come none of the cool signature planes are in it? Like thr XO-2 or the FALKEN?

[QUOTE]Dear Ace Combatants, I wanted to take this opportunity to speak directly to you, our loyal ACE COMBAT fans, and give you a first-hand update on the launch timing for ACE COMBAT 7: SKIES UNKNOWN. The Project ACES team and I have been working hard on ACE COMBAT 7 and we’re determined to achieve the vision we have set for the game. [B]In order to reach that vision, we have decided to move the launch of ACE COMBAT 7 to 2018.[/B] We would have loved to launch ACE COMBAT 7 at the end of 2017 as we originally intended, but doing so would compromise our goal for the game. We take our art very seriously and that means we have instead chosen to devote additional time and effort to perfect and optimize this newest chapter of the ACE COMBAT saga. The combination of the Unreal 4 Engine and the power of current generation consoles and PC hardware have literally opened the “skies of opportunity” to us to develop the best ACE COMBAT experience to-date. At no other time in ACE COMBAT’s 20+ year history has gaming technology allowed us to deliver the minute details of flight combat - such as cloud cover and air currents – or give players a new way to experience dogfights and attack sorties through hardware such as the new PlayStation VR. We’ll have a lot more information and details to share with you in the coming months, starting at E3 2017 where we plan to reveal a brand-new demo showcasing one of the non-VR missions in ACE COMBAT 7 for the first time ever! On behalf of the entire Project ACES team, I want to thank you all for your patience and for your continued support. Sincerely, Kazutoki Kono – ACE COMBAT Franchise Director[/QUOTE] [url]https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/letter-to-ace-combat-fans[/url]

This is fine for me. Least I want to see is a game full of bugs/far from complete and with this one they can finally set one step inside PC as well as recover the pride lost after Assault Horizon.

Now... If they could just port over the PS2 games onto the PS4, touch it up a little and maybe relaase 6 as well. That would be very nice right about now. Heck, i wouldn't mind Infinity too being released on the PS4, but i'd rather not if they are still sticking with that god damn fuel system.

Infinity without fuel wouldn't happen, the whole point was to be a "F2P" cashgrab as for a rerelease, might as well get them on PC at that point

E3 has come and there's a new trailer and some off screen gameplay [video=youtube;ReHVAlEU3UQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReHVAlEU3UQ[/video] [video=youtube;NTa2IA_8r74]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTa2IA_8r74[/video] Sounds like your Squadron is called "Mage"

considering they mentioned the "three strikes" you probably start out in the Mage squadron (as Mage 2) but later join the convict squadron. looks like the game might have two routes at the moment, too.

I have noticed that the same equipment system from Infinity is there, never got to play with that too much. Speaking of Infinity, i just bought myself a new PS3 and i'd assume i have a shit ton of fuel just sitting there for when i revisit that. I still disagree with that fuel system but that and waifu planes are the reason we're getting 7 in the first place. Makes me wonder if online for 7 will be co-op competitive focused like infinity.

[QUOTE=StrykerE;52357528][video=youtube;p4XpxMet3y4]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4XpxMet3y4[/video] Longer gameplay w/ audio[/QUOTE] being osea again is interesting i thought we were going to play as erusea for some reason

I'm willing to bet you'll be flying under a Erusean flag as Trigger/Convict Squadron. So at some point you get shot down.

Looks a lot like 6 in terms of gameplay, which is fine. I'm definitely excited for it.

[video=youtube;RjySFNghAcQ]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjySFNghAcQ[/video] Notes so far: - Two aircraft carriers renamed after aircraft carriers sunk in the Circum-Pacific War of 2010 (Kestrel & Vulture) - n.b. Vulture is oddly named "Albatross" in the UI but referred to as Vulture from the briefing officer. Seems Pres. Vincent Harling did rebuild the aircraft carriers. - A squadron based out of Fort Grays, [I]Golem Sqn[/I] is featured in this mission. It consists of [B]Knocker[/B] (squadron leader), [I]Brownie[/I] (sqn ldr wingman) and Golem 3 & 4. It seems Knocker is training Brownie. Kind of a subtle throwback to Ace Combat 5 with Heartbreak 1 (Bartlett) and Edge (Nagase). - Osean-built [I]Arsenal Birds[/I] have been captured by the Erusean forces and now being used against the Oseans. Another one of those big airborne supercarriers (aka a throwback to Ace Combat 6 with the Aigaion)

Seems liked the console (PS4?) was struggling to maintain framerate. It looked like maybe 50-60 FPS when he was flying towards the sky with no clouds in view, but dropped down to more like 15-20 when flying through the clouds towards the ground. Pretty disappointing that consoles these days still care more about graphics rather than playability. I remember on previous ACE games having perfect 60 FPS on my PS2, but framerate dropping to 30 on my 360...

the awacs is such an asshole i love it

[video=youtube;ITXJWHOg7LE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITXJWHOg7LE[/video] This looks cool in motion, but I hope it has more skill/finesse then the Dog Fight Mode evades in Assault Horizon

Not sure if anyone here plays it, but Infinity is being shut down. [img]https://i.imgur.com/ThQajif.png[/img]
