Don't we need a separate thread for JA?

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
new trailer

I dunno, it certainly is pretty but I play AC first person in the pit and some crazy ass camera gimmick thats possibly a QTE or worse on rails isn't really my thing.  Time will tell I suppose.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
definitely in the "cautiously optimistic" (in my pants) camp for this game, until I actually play a demo of it

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

I was not too terribly impressed with what I saw.

Except the cobra snap maneuver. That one always get's me, I love that plane.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
I hope it's not too far off the Ace Combat formula. I do like the new destruction but I hope the viewpoint is optional as you guys are saying. I like playing from the cockpit and flying it with missiles and guns in the most lethal combinations possible. If it means dropping 6 missiles at 6 targets from long range... I'm cool with that :) But I like the more simulatory aspects so maybe I'm not the target audience.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
I'm looking forward to the pretty sweet visuals and airplanes being ruined by bizarre translated lines and stiff voice acting.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
The voice acting sounds a tiny bit better in this iteration... or least in the latest trailers.

Simply because it involves aircraft, allow me to say, that I'm glad that the newest IL-2 Sturmovik is on PC and NOT XBox360.
Good realistic combat flight simulator, the way it SHOULD be.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
ahaha this is literally Ace Combat trying to get Call of Duty fans, right down to the skull mask

fortunately it looks ****ing awesome

 
Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
Ever since they made it clear that that "Close Assault" BS was entirely optional, I've decided to go ahead and get my hopes up about this game. The world can always use more Ace Combat, and if the last PSP title was any indication, they wont let a change of setting screw with AC's over the top charm.

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
"Go fly with the angels!"  :P

I'd like to see some in cockpit footage just to fully lock up that I can fly it the way I would like but otherwise it's looking pretty awesome.  I see my faithful AC6 steed, the F-15E, featured and the Apache sequences could be pretty cool as well.  I hope they add a little more balance in the mission types, AC6 favored a lot of air to ground so the pure fighter craft spent most of the campaign in the stables since I generally needed to blow the crap out of things that flew and things that crawled.

Ace Combat has never been a realistic game. It's always been, essentially, Call of Duty in the skies with crazy super weapons and arcade flight controls.

New trailers up for E3!

I'm pretty freaking pumped for this game actually. It looks fun as hell, and has that classic AC over the topness. Plus the music is godly.

Plus, here's a 13 preview of the first level at a Famatsu event. I think those that were, "OMG! RAIL SHOOTER! QTE! AC IS DEAD!" can take a deep breath and calm down. You play the game exactly like the old ones with full (and beautiful) cockpit, no CRA, and Expert controls (controls yaw instead of novice which moves the plane side to side)

Satisfied?

Re: Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
I'm aware of that. That's why I specifically mentioned Il-2 and not Ace Combat because I know Ace Combat isn't made for realism.
