It's going to be shit, isn't it?
>>13590955
>Exclusively on PS4
I was just thinking about a new game in the series the other day when I was transferring all my 360 saves for BC. Oh well. Guess I'll play 7 in a year or two when I get a PS4.
>>13590955
At least the soundtrack will be good.
>>13590955
It can't get any worse than Assault Horizon. right?
>>13590995
You must've not played Infinity.
I'd gladly take AH over Infinity any day of the week.
As for AC7 I'm expecting a trainwreck in terms of gameplay, but Strangerealfags will find a reason to defend it.
>>13590983
There's a reason why all the third-parties are going to PS4. It's the only console that makes them money. Your average PS4 game has an install base of 2.3 million, versus your average One game having an install base of 1.4 million, and your average Wii U game (non-Nintendo) having an install base of 938,000. Those are install bases that are estimated to be about 12%, 10.5%, and 9.4% respectively, which are pretty great, but the PS4 has the edge in terms of absolute numbers of units sold.
>>13591009
Infinity plays just fine, it's the F2P MMO design philosophy that ruins it.
>>13590955If its set in the alternate earth universe and dosen't have shit AH gameplay I'll buy a goddamn PS4.
>>13591444
It is Strangereal.
>>13591444
Confirmed Strangereal, no DFM, Erusea vs Osea this round. VR Support and some features for it, MAYBE Multi-Plat including PC release. Emphasis on MAYBE.
>>13590955
just give me the soundtrack
i thought this was a troll post. fmp season 3 and aces 7 in 2015. i wasn't ready.
>>13591541
I just wish Armored Core was here to round out the year...
AC7? Fucking A, must be a chilly day in hell or something.
>Erusea
Brace for Wyverns?
>>13591457
>Strangereal is back
Joyous days.
>>13591624
I'm amazed they are actually releasing a numbered installment with such high number in this day and age.
Really glad they aren't resorting to the "subtitle-less, number-less recycled title as if it was a first installment" bullshit. God I hate that.
>Strangereal is more important than what the gameplay might be
Why couldn't it just be a brand new setting?
Why do we have to pander to UCfags?
>>13591647
Why can't it just be a new game instead of having to shoehorn Ace Combat stuff into the setting for no reason?
>>13591643
It's Ace Combat; they have a small, but dedicated fanbase that will guarantee sales.
>>13591652
Not dedicated enough to buy a new console if 6 proved anything.
>>13591675
Some people were.I wasn't even into Ace Combat then anyway...
>ace combat 7
>final fantasy 7
gonna be a good year
>>13591033
What's the install base for PC, though? There's 125 million Steam users, and a good chunk of them will be AC fans.
>>13591715
>and a good chunk of them will be AC fans
Based on what?
>>13591722
>people who use steam play video games
>ace combat is a video game
>people have purchased the ace combat game ON steam
>a portion of 125 million is still probably a lot of people
Nah, no Steam users are AC fans. None of them
But to play devil's advocate on a less sarcastic hand, the 404th squadron group is dead and gone.
>>13591748
You said 'good chunk', that was misleadingly implying it was a bigger slice than it probably is.
By the way, how well did that one cell shaded game that had "literally the only reason we made this was to scratch the AC itch for PC-only people" written all over it sell?
>>13591768
steamspy says it's got 9,487 ± 2,373 but who really knows
>RaidersSphere4th might have between 0 and 1,300 owners
That's terrible.
>tfw no AC game in Strangereal 1960's-1970's
I just want to use muh Electric Lightnings and SU-7s
Fuck you could make them have Ekranoplans and Project Pluto type shits as the superweapons
Posting Strangereal map because I love you all
>>13591844
I love you too /m/an
AC6 bombed because no one in Japan has a 360. Motherfucks love the PS4, so I'm sure 7 will do better.
>>13591876
>AC6 ended with the little blonde girl serving a turkey
MURRICA!
>but also a cherry tree in the yard scattering beatiful pink blossoms on the wind
NIPPON BANZAI
Maybe I'm remembering wrong but uf nit, I don't know who they were making it for.
>>13591768
>By the way, how well did that one cell shaded game that had "literally the only reason we made this was to scratch the AC itch for PC-only people" written all over it sell?
More than it deserved.

>>13592431
Which one is the most legit?
>>13591476
>Erusea vs Osea this round
Ok, IIRC Osea was not-Murikka but which one was Erusea again?
>>13591844
>Europa
>Islamic European Union
Top Kek
>>13592441
The green one.
The white one has fan fiction.
>>13592536
The continent of Usea is notEurope and Erusea is the facist dickhole state on the west side of the continent that keeps starting shit.
>>13593238
I want to be on the Erusean side this time, I'm tired of being part of Strangereal NATO.
>>13593261
Don't cut yourself on that edge bro.
OSEA vs USEA, I'd like to see that, Emmeria off to the side like "nah I don't want in on that"
>>13593261
We weren't in Strangereal NATO in AC6 depending on where you stand.
Of course Emmeria sounds like America, but considering that Osea is actual Strangereal America and Emmeria is on the other hemisphere in the middle of nowhere I think it's more Strangereal Australia.
>>13593264
Spotted the Osean.
>>13593409
Go back to bed Belka.
>>13591709
>ffvii remake
>good
they're gonna bishie cloud out and make him an edgelord.
>>13593427
He was always an edgelord aside from the ending.
>>13593435
he was a crossdressing goofball senpai
>>13593443
He spends the first two thirds of the game blowing people off and telling them that he doesn't give a shit about them or the planet and that shit ain't his problem.
Cloud only stops being an edgelord post coma.
>>13593449
he also snowboards and races giant chicken monsters
>>13593468
Those are minigames, not personality traits.
>>13592431
wait, am i missing something? is ace combat set in the future, or some fictional universe?i've never played them and to me this looks like its a post post apocalyptic map of the world.
>>13593733
Most of them are set in a fictional universe, with many of the made-up nations drawing parallels to actual nations in terms of how they act and what their history is like.
The game features real-life planes, though. Only a handful of made-up ones.
One or two of them were set in the real world.
>>13593764
thanx anon. i would like to try the games but im mostly a pc gamer so i havent played them. they look pretty cool tho.
>>13593786
04, 5, and Zero are considered the best ACs, and since they're all PS2 games, they're extremely easy to emulate. Play those in that order, and if you end up liking them, you can try out the earlier PS1 ones.
If you own a 3DS, you can buy Assault Horizon Legacy used for less than $5 at Gamestop. It's a remake/redo of Ace Combat 2.
>>13593808
>easy to emulate
>if you don't mind glitched up textures and an overall subpar experience
it's asshorizon in strangereal
>>13591709
Hold your horses, it could also be a year of disappointing monumental fuck ups.
>>13591009
The gameplay for Infinity is great tho. The main reason why people hate Infinity is the F2P mechanic.
AH was a legitimately shit in terms of gameplay
>>13593808
im getting some ps2 stuff togetheri have the console already, just need to find some of the older games i liked playing on ps2 and some i need to tryand i have no idea how to emulate anyway. id need someone to walk me through it.
>>13593856
>I haven't played either game but I'll gladly parrot what /v/ says
Infinity is a notoriously imbalanced mess of bullshit that actively scams you out of money. The fact it doesn't abuse interactive cutscenes ala AH doesn't actually make it any better.
Hell I'd say the financial leeching off of desperate Strangerealfags makes Infinity worse, but nope they had to go make AC7 and make Infinity players look justified in wasting their money on pure unadulterated cancer.
>And you're forgetting the wallet-leeching fuel bullshit, the need to pay for a campaign pass to bypass that, and then the fact that it's such a barebones tutorial for the main game that it might as well be nonexistent.
>So let's move on to the meat of the game, the degenerate cancer-inducing cutthroat competitive coop with its poorly balanced plane roster whose netcode shits itself constantly when the engine isn't crapping itself because it's being made to run things it wasn't designed for, and that's assuming you're not trying to play on an update day where nothing is guaranteed to work.
>And of the Ace Combat elements it has, it's rehashes of prior games, and as such it suffers from the same critical problem 6 has: everything you see in the game has been done before already, and as such there's nothing memorable about it. It's just that this time, instead of being wow it's fucking nothing it's WOW I GOT GANKED BY A MUDROLE AGAIN.
>Infinity is a lie they feed to desperate ACfags who want to be reminded of classic gameplay, who are comforted by the delusion that their dedication to Infinity is the reason why AC7 exists. It's concentrated community cancer, and should be avoided unless you actively hate yourself.
>Seriously, you're defending a scam if you put it anywhere but the absolute bottom

Only on reddit does anyone think a post consisting entirely of pasta is a valid post in a thread instead of a fucking waste of space that makes you look like a retard. You need to go there yourself.
>>13594294
>implying the good trailers made AC6 a good game
I'd rather have a shitty trailer and a good game than vice versa.
>DFM
Yeah, no. Did that look like actual gameplay to you? You might as well complain about having HALO jumps in the game now because of that random chick jumping.
>>13594356
I'm sorry, that was actual gameplay footage.

<<damn, damn, damn, damn!>>
>>13594480
Man the zero trailer is absolutely perfect.

Everything about 0 is perfect. I don't think anything can top the hype of spanish guitar dogfighting.

>>13593238
>The continent of Usea is notEurope
Nah, I'm pretty sure EUROPA is notEurope. I mean just look at it >>13591844
, it's literally Europe but squished together. You can make out Scandinavia, the Balkans, Iberian peninsula, Italy, and Turkey.
>>13594829
>>13593278
Considering how far Emmeria is I'm surprised it has so much desert and greenery.
>>13594480
why no love for ac4?
https://youtu.be/oJvB-Bzjvpc
>>13594480
I absolutely loved that sequence in 5 where you are trying to get your jet to the runway and you see the base blowing up all around you. Same for the carrier take off sequence later in the game. I wish more AC games did that. It gets old just starting off already in the air every mission.
If Bamco were going to drop remastered editions of AC4,5,0, and 6 and put them on PS+ orsteamthere should be some extra content.
OPFOR campaigns were you play as the antagonists of the previous games crushing all opposition until the aces (mobius, blaze, cipher) come in.
>>13590955
you're going to be shit you negative nancy
>>13593822
Don't forget flying through the ground.
>>13591715
Steam is very different. A lot of people use Steam because it's a marketplace, which doesn't mean they're necessarily the hardcore gamer who buys consoles. Armored Core would probably have an install base of less than 5% of Steam users, based on the performance of other Japanese titles.
>>13595748
Every copy sold comes with a pair of Nagase's panties, which? Use your imagination.
>>13595854
Panties from an old lady? Nah.
Patches would be nice....
I'm thinking Sony and Bamco REALLY want to push the PSVR thing they'll have a PS4 bundle with throttle+flightstick andPSVR fighter helmet
>>13593468
FF7 was a weird game in hindsight.
>>13591476
Eurusea?
AGAIN?
Jesus fucking Christ some people never learn.
>you will never live in Osea
>>13595216
I feel like I've seen it or similar sequences in a lot of things since, but when I first played AC5 a year ago I was blown away by how they handled it. Fucking incredible what they managed to do on PS2 hardware and how well it's held up since.
>>13595748
The problem with doing remasters of the PS2 trilogy is that 4 uses a different engine with different mechanics than 5 and 0 had. If they were truly going to do a remaster they would have to use the same engine that they decided to use in 4/0 or else they would be needlessly doubling the work.
>>13596155
Different engine in the sense that it's more basic or that it's fundamentally different?
>>13595977
Why are you assuming that Osea are the good guys again? Just look at how those war mongers almost started a nuclear war with the Yukes over nothing in AC5.
>>13595988
What do I get for living in Belka? Nuked? Impractical super weapons? Slav planes?
>>13596163
Shut up you clay-fucker.
>>13596163
Grey Men pls
So when are we getting remakes of X/X2:Joint Assault? I enjoyed those games.
>>13594480
dat late 90s/early 00s rock at the end of the 5 trailer
>>13596226
>6 that high
Sucks that I got into it so late that online was pretty dead. I was afraid to play games like that online back then because I sucked. If 7 is halfway decent I'll buy a PS4 for it.
>>13596242
CAN YOU TAKE IT ALL ALWAAAHAAAYYYYY
>>13596242
It's also one of the songs that plays during the credits at the end of the game iirc
>not listening to that song Chopper was talking about
>>13596242
It works.
If I liked HAWX, will I like Ace Combat?
>>13596155
That or reprogram a new engine to use similar mechanics. Just look at Homeworld 1 remastered; the original Homeworld engine was a cobbled together piece of crap that they can't replicate so they just used HW2's updated engine and it fucked up a lot of things, like marine frigates and formations.
>>13591647
I couldn't give a shit if it's based on Earth or Not-Earth the important part is whether it has regular AC gameplay or fucking terrible AH garbage gameplay.
>>13596245
Other than being incredibly easy compared to every other game ever (why do I need all of these missiles and why does my gun instakill everything?) it's a pretty good game overall.
>>13596302
>HAWX
Yes.
Yuktobania is the strongest nation. Osean aredependable and loyal ally, we should unite more often to beat up a common enemy.
>>13596250
Chopper is listening to it in a cutscene, I didn't even notice the first time I played 5 desu
Landing on an airstrip mid-battle was pretty fun in 6, I don't recall there being mid-battle carrier landings. When I say mid-battle I mean actually in battle, without changing maps.
>>13593894
don't emulate them. The AC games don't work well on emulators. Horrendous glitched textures and able to fly through terrain...ect just get a PS2 and buy the games off lukiegames
>>13596226
An HD remake of AC:X would be pretty nice to have. Especially on a platform with decent analog stick support.
Playing that game with the PSP's woeful thumb-ruiner was a chore at the best of times.
