JediAthos Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I enjoyed the last installment of Ace Combat on the Xbox and hopefully this one will be equally as enjoyable. Just out of sheer morbid curiosity...why does this make you sad Prime? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Well this one is on PS3 as well apparently, so presumably it can't be a PS fanboy lamenting a platform switch this time around. Is it the change to real world locations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I don't like the change to real world locations nor do I like the helicopter minigunner thing, QTE's demand on how they're handled. I am glad it's multi-plat though, I'll get to play this one. I'll wait to see more before I drop my judgement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediAthos Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The helicopter thing could be interesting depending on how it's actually played in game. I know there's a lot of hatred for Modern Warfare around here, but the AC-130 gunner thing was kinda cook imo and if they can do something like that with the helicopter gunner it could be interesting at least.

DarthParametric Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The gunship level of COD4 was by far the best part of the game. The rest of it was just generic shooter blandness. I wouldn't mind seeing something along those lines, although the helicopter gunner footage seemed far more "actiony", if you get my meaning. The quicktime thing looked to be a eject sequence maybe? Seemed just to be the Y button when the player was about to get shot down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 Is it the change to real world locations?This. Strangereal allows a lot easier handwaving in terms of being able to fly aircraft from many real world nations without having to come up with a bunch of contrived reasons why you are flying an American Su-33 Flanker-D. Similarly it makes it easier to include older aircraft along with the new. That, and just having a consistent continuing storyline in the same world. I'm not saying things can't work with the real world, I just don't see the need as it is potentially more limiting. nor do I like the helicopter minigunner thingAnd this. Screams minigame to me, which I don't think fits with AC. The quicktime thing looked to be a eject sequence maybe? Seemed just to be the Y button when the player was about to get shot down. Based on how the trailer portrays it, I really don't like that quick loop thing by pressing Y. AC has never really had gimics such as this. I'm sure I'll get it and love it, but I would prefer not to have this apparent change in direction. I would prefer a Starcraft 2 mentality.

Prime Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'm not sure how many others have been following this game around here. I don't think there are many LF aircraft heads. But being a big fan of Ace Combat, E3 and recent times have turned out some pretty trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 The more I see of the game, the more I realize it isn't the Ace Combat that I grew up with and the more worried I get. However, it is planes and it holds the Ace Combat name, so I'll give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urluckyday Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I can't wait for this one. I was kind of pulled-away from the last AC game on the 360 because I heard that the story was cringeworthy in terms of the cutscenes, and I wasn't sold on the game otherwise after playing the demo, but I have to say, I can't wait for this game. I'm definitely getting it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liverandbacon Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Russian bad guy's name is Markov. ~:27-:31 Guy in skull balaclava (lol) seems to be called Ghost. AC-130 gameplay. Who got their CoD in my Ace Combat? (Though I'm totally down with the AC-130 part, tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I think it's a mask rather than a balaclava. The skull certainly seems to be solid and three dimensional, as opposed to just painted on fabric. But yeah, the whole time I was watching the trailers I was thinking "is this the next COD game?". Certainly has that sort of vibe. It reinforces my view that pretty much all game developers these days are frustrated film makers that are co-opting video games to tell their "awesome story".

The skull certainly seems to be solid and three dimensional, as opposed to just painted on fabric. Yeah, you're right, I wasn't watching the trailer closely. Looking at a still image, it's painted on the face shield. Still, it's a definite similarity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swphreak Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 I'm a huge fan of the Ace Combat games, but I'm a little anxious about some of the changes they've made. I'll have to reserve judgement until I play a demo. The graphics look amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
