Your opinion on the Ace Combat series?

I only played Ace Combat 5 and it was great.
Something got in my eye when I shot down that space shuttle thing.

My opinion is that BELKA IS STRONG AND OSEA SHOULD RETURN RIGHTFUL BELKAN CLAY

I cried when "chopper died"). Not afraid to admit it.

How the hell can you leave out Zero?

Only ever play AC6, must've put over 150 hours into it though, just replaying the campaign. Loved the shit out of that game. Perfect mix of arcade physics/tacticool equipment/munitions. Is it worth going through the trouble of emulating older ones? Got a PC that wouldn't have any trouble running it, just not very knowledgeable in the field of emulation at all.

IIRC 4 emulates fine but 5 and 0 are a bit wonky.

They're also better than 6 in every way.

/k/ its all over the series. Finished AC5. Doing Zero now. That fucking mission 11.....

RIP Chopper thank you for your service.

I felt something on the last mission of Ace Combat 4

>all units follow mobius 1

goddamn i love this game.

a must for these threads.
But since there seems to be more nuggets than usual: partial spoilers to Ace Combat Zero

Those look pretty banging. I'd definitely pay for an ISAF/Mobius squadron patch too

>Altman use your hand grenades

> no don't give up yet! We won't let that pilot die

The background chatter is good, but this mission especially is great.

If you interested in Ace Combat (good choice) pop over to /aceg/ on /vg/ and tell them you're a nugget.

...

Only good game/series of its kind. Has its flaws (some in the series a lot more than others) but overall they're great fun.
The cheesy but enjoyable dialogue makes all the difference, I think, and makes it much more fun to play than just the solid gameplay alone would. Some of the games also have great soundtracks, which is a nice bonus.

I'm just hoping the new one will have good VR support (or rather, I hope VR is good enough for it), because a small part of me never grew up and wants to sit in an F16 as realistically as it gets without leaving my room.

I had to do a fix for the wonky ass ground textures in 5, but otherwise they all emulated perfectly in software mode.

/aceg/ is still in the air?
I got sick of Infinity and no new AC7 news so I haven't visited there in months

>going into Future Shop looking to kill time

Back in the days

>Use F-22 raptor
>Steathiest plane in the world
>Every other plane can still see you normally

What this a design oversite or something? You should be invisible to other planes when in an F-22.

YOU CAN'T TELL ME YOU'RE AFRAID OF HEIGHTS

>I've got a reading on radar... Something's coming at high speed... It's a missile !
>WHAT ? WHERE ? WHERE IS IT ? ANSWER ME NOW ! EUGEEEEEEEEEEEENE !
>IT'S AN SWBM ! GET OUT OF HERE NOW !
>WHERE SHOULD WE GO ? WHERE IS IT COMING FROM ? HOW FAR IS IT ?
>IT'S NO USE, WE'RE TOO LATE !

>All right, Gryphus One !

I loved everything from X but I especially loved the dialogue and that the npcs never miss an opportunity to gobble your dick.

At what point in any AC game do you engage targets BVR?
F-22's stealth is to hide from radar. It's not a Romulan Warbird

I have to agree. The part with chopper is probably the only other time the background chatter didn't feel boring and samey. Except for in 0, only because most of it is pixy trying to fuck with you

I didn't find it hard to emulate at all. And my computer is from parts I got together about 3 years ago. There are some slowdowns and some audio blips once in a while but otherwise everything was solid. Just use software rendering and if you're still having issues, look up a config online

I laughed when I found out that asshole crashed in the tunnel behind me because of debris and raged when I found out on the second try I would have completed it on the first if I hadn't hit the floor trying to get under the last closing shutter

hawx 1
dont touch 2, its trash

Don't actually do this

Months of no new discussion topics have turned it into a bed of off-topic shitposting and circlejerking. Wait until AC7 brings in a bigger influx of posters before even trying to go there

wut

This is one of my favorite songs because of that damn game.

>Months of no new discussion topics have turned it into a bed of off-topic shitposting and circlejerking.
Welcome to literally every /vg/ thread.

Which one was the WORST game in the series?

Which is why you should never go to one unless it's about a game that's new or has regular updates

Literally every general about a dead or dying game is almost entirely rampant autism

Does the word stealth not mean anything to you?

Assault Horizon. Avoid it like the plague.

Zero is massively overrated and the story is poor with shallow characters who have foolish motivations, and the game severely lacks in mission variety. It comes nowhere close to the quality of 04, 5, 6, or even 2, counting(both the original and the remake.

/aceg/ isnt that all bad. As a guy who came from /aceg/, we know we know that shitposter-kun is trying to make the thread quality worse. He also hates getting butthurt and resorts to namefagging. One of the few generals that i love going to cause i like pic related

>he doesnt know about AC5
Archer, is that you?

Really bad writing and really mediocre voice acting but the uh... I dunno the pacing is good?

infinite is horrible

the rest of them are pretty okay

4 is the best one

I fucking hate how they shoved that song into the game at several ill-fitting moments. It completely ruins the trailer which was amazing until it barged in.
youtube.com/watch?v=iWRdMX1VaZA

Should I play Ace Combat Infinity?

Did you quote the wrong post?

If you want to sink plenty of time, sure

Got my start with AC4 over 10 years ago. I've owned AC6 for about 7 years now but I've never finished it. For some reason I just always lose interest and wind up dropping it partway through.

This game and that part especially resonated with me because I've got a serious soft spot for the exploration of space and how important it is to humanity.

Why this game is so full of artificial difficulty but is incredible amazing?

>Writing and voice acting
You could at least comment no the gameplay. You know, that thing games used to have that came between cutscenes.

>in AC5 they mention how in Osea's annexed Belkan territory, everyone still considers themselves proud Belkans, even though they got nuked.
Insurgency incoming, Belkan Separatists will rise up! BELKA GROWS STRONG

Surely not

>and that the npcs never miss an opportunity to gobble your dick.
That's what I didn't like about it. It's the same as Infinite's shitty campaign; everyone is all over your dick as soon as you've done a whole two jobs. There's no earning your reputation in those games.

I fucking love Ace Combat.
Zero is by far the best of the best

Post planefu
Felt bad missing out on the entire F15 tree my first run through.
Felt worse when the 8492nd used them against me.

That depends. Do you have thousands of dollars to blow on fuel and contracts, and also no job so you can spend every waking moment in the ranking?
If the answer to either of these is no then you're never going to place anywhere in the top 1000 and as such you'll never get any decent rewards out of all the ranking events. Hell, I can't even imagine trying to start the game now and running level 1 shitplanes against level 20 XFA-27s.

...

I used Zero colors on AC6 fir the typhoon and rafale.

No.

You can trust me.

...

eh a lot of people will say horizon but the west version of Ace Combat 2 was a disaster so that one for me. Also where AC7 at boyyy its going to be a year already.

The closest I'll ever get to having a fantastic Macross-like dogfighting title.

...

It's actually not hard to get top 1000 these days. There's way less competition now that they only repeat old prizes instead of offering new ones. Half the time I get top 1000 without even trying for it.

Are there any new maps/planes?
Is the single player mode still half-finished?

how are you making these? these are fucking hilarious

How new are you?

I've seen them posted around for a while but for some reason I'm only just now realizing that they are made from what i assume to be some website.

Nothing after Paris
Forever a cliffhanger

There are 11 standard maps, with 4 raid ones. I don't know if any will be new to you or not, since I don't know when you stopped playing. And probably new planes, but there are so many I won't bother listing them. They put the MiG-35 in, so that's nice. Woulda been nicer if they put it in before I already had a level 20 fighter, but still nice.
Single player is still unfinished. Never going to be finished, either.

It's great. I'm very disappointed that there really aren't many other games like it.

You could try Vector Thrust. It plays exactly the same and even adds some new stuff, like countermeasures. It's also highly moddable. It does have a lot of problems, though. The campaign is very short (it's not intended to be the full story, and it shows), there are no cockpits, and there aren't a lot of user-made missions or campaigns to make up for it. The game is also very buggy. Expect frequent crashes and enemy planes occasionally flying through the ground and becoming unkillable. I've even heard some people can't get even the first campaign mission to complete properly.

>west version of Ace Combat 2 was a disaster
I thought it was AC3 whose western version was bad, with its entire story removed.

About to start a new playthrough on the NTSC-J version. Time to see what they decided to get rid of.

The narrator kid plans on murdering Y13 in the Japanese version. Apparently guns are okay for Japan but not acceptable in America.

That's it? Eh, fuck it, I'll still play through. The whole colliding languages with the Japanese text and English dialogue is interesting.

Oh, I don't know if that's the only difference, just that it's one of them. I haven't compared them myself. I doubt it's that different though, since why would it be?

Just some regional differences can be cool to see right in front of you instead of some video on YouTube. Look up the difference between Raw Danger and Zettai Zetsumei Toshi 2

Good games made absolutely amazing by atmosphere.

Facing off against the last remnants of the enemy ace squadron before flying into a tunnel to destroy a superweapon's power generator? Cool.

Doing that with a choir singing in Latin while you hear friendly ground troops yell, "Dammit, he's got a flamethrower!" over the radio? Unforgettable.

The first time doing that mission I thought the planes had flamethrowers and now I can somehow light planes up midair.

I swear those faceless commandos in the Megalith mission are a million times more compelling than the entire cast of Ace Combat 5.

Played the two PSP games which were okay only got the play Zero on the PS2 which was fantastic

Wasn't the real Yellow Squadron completely gone by the time of Megalith, and they just told all their remaining pilots that they were the new "Yellow Squadron" as some last-ditch attempt to boost morale?

Ace Combat 5 best fucking game ever.
Ace combat 0 Best FUCKING SOUNDTRACK EVER

It's debatable. The narrator mentions that the veterans from Yellow Squadron rotated out lead/train other units.

Personally I think a few of the ones at Megalith were probably in the real Yellow Squadron but none of them were core members from the beginning of the game.

You can tell by the fact that they can botch their puchev

So, what's everyone's favorite chatter? Besides Megalith I really like the everything from the passenger planes you escort. The ground leader who says, "I don't care if it's a lie, tell them that's Mobius 1 up there" in the desert mission is great too.

[Spanish Guitar Intensifies]

Greatest game series.

CUM HISTORIA

HD collection when?

So, do AWACS record their conversations with their squad? I've always wondered why THUNDERHEAD never really said anything to the higher ups about 8492nd squadron when wardog gets grilled at the capital.

i am going to believe that the ace combat series is going to slowly progress into spacecraft combat.

>mfw the PS3 remasters are not backwards compatible with the PS4 and PS4 Pro
GO DANCE WITH THE ANGELS SONY!

Who's hopeful for AC7?

It's set in Strangereal again, after all.

Space elevators are fucking awesome

>yfw you get to fly up it into space

AC5's plot is kinda stupid and doesn't really make sense. Probably best to not think too hard about it.

daily reminder that AC:Z>AC:5

As long as it's as imaginative and replayable as the holy trinity, I'll be satisfied.
A PC port would be nice too.

AC5 is the worst numbered AC, so that's not really news. Way too many gimmick missions in that game. They're alright once, but that's it. Also the characters is awful, and to make things worse they never shut up.

Not to mention that Wardog's own planes should have flight recorders as well.

They were jammed remember

And the Wardog planes were destroyed

>As long as it's imaginative, has an emphasis on dogfights, and replayable as Zero.
Fixed.

4 and 5 were also replayable.

I just don't want something like Assault Horizon's lack of a scoring system or cutscene-free mode.

They were, but the dogfights is Zero are 10x better. Which is kinda sad since it bombed.
youtube.com/watch?v=oT9NaHuQvhk

I've enjoyed every one that I played. Must get a 360 for 6

Not one of AC5's gimmick missions is worse than AC4's "fly around the same map for 20 minutes and just bomb stuff" missions

Despite the flood of bombing run missions being not quite as fun as the dogfighting of later entries, 04 is my favorite by far. The atmosphere is unmatched, from feeling like a hero during gameplay to the simple yet emotional cutscenes framing those heroic accomplishments in a very different light.

What a beautiful game.

Call of Duty in air combat world.

(You) might just get a (you) with that.

If you don't mind older games had a ton of fun on pic related.

>No news during TGS2016

more lile Ace Comfat

>this

pirated it one day thinking it might be a good simulation
uninstalled after 7 minutes of playing
it literally is CoD but in the air

AC5 has basically the same missions though, it just doesn't show you the timer. Levels like First Flight/Ancient Walls just involve flying around killing enemies over and over until the time limit runs out, so they're just as bad. Except no, they're much worse, since they have don't even have a big level full of targets, they just have a tiny one with a few respawning planes. Very boring.

The one where you fly unarmed training planes around for 15 minutes while nothing happens is worse than anything in AC4.

There's this though:
