THe moment I saw the flying fortress I just screamed woho

Having grown up with a PC and Nintendo systems (NES, SNES, N64 and GameCube), I never had a chance to play any of the Ace Combat games. I'd heard good things about the series though and now that I have a PS1 and PS2, will have to look into the series.

Why PS3 exclusive though? Why not just wait until the next generation of consoles (PS4/XBONE)?

[The E]

I dunno. Their marketing people probably seemed to think that the PS3 offered the best return on investment.

What I do expect is for them to go multiplatform when the new consoles are out though, given that the platforms seem to standardize on a tiered internet play model with a basic tier being available for everyone. As 360 doesn't offer this right now, the potential player base is much smaller.

No idea why this isn't on PC though.

So... if it's free, where are the microtransactions? Where's the pay-to-win?

Oh wait, I see there's online multi. There we go.

Possibly a prelude to an upcoming single-player game?

You know, build up hype and bring new players to the franchise with a multiplayer-only game, then come out with a full game?

[StarSlayer]

It's confirmed.

AC:Infinity is a free-to-play title on PS3.

But I'm still hyped. Why? Because

Stonehenge and flying fortresses and Rex Tremendae and omg omg omg

I begrudge that man his capacity for happiness. I do.

I'd wait a bit, most of the ones they've done before now are awful.

Still not impressed yet, seeing $camco's ridiculous track record with their recent F2Ps.

The video thumbnail is using a custom-textured ACTIVE from Vector Thrust...

[Colonol Dekker]

New.

[RVR72G]

Can't wait to see how they ruin this with their most ridiculous ways of monetization.

[Colonol Dekker]

£1 a missile.

[Hobbie]

Holy crap I heard the Omega 11 British dude from AC4 in that trailer!

Flying command cruisers ftw

[RVR72G]

From some interview with the developer (I think?)

Apparently, the campaign will be 5 missions long and the charge system will be for sorties and items, which I believe is limited to coop.

Well, that's as expected;$camco being its usual self. Also the release's delayed to November.
