New thread for new info

some info from famitsu:

-everything from the trailer was real-time.
-you can pick certain cloud in the sky and fly toward it, and the cloud will be there properly.
-The orbital elevator is the symbol of this title
-The big airship is imaginary ship that fly around and protect the orbital elevator
-PSVR is something that seems to fit the concept of flying freely in the sky, so they decided to implement right away
-development is about 20% done.

- the concept is to make better numbered sequel by making sure of what is important for numbered series
-AC7 has three axis, first one is drawing of the sky including three-dimensional cloud
-another axis is seeking the enjoyment of "airplane-pretend play"(the very first concept of Ace Combat). not a finish move by pushing one button but maneuvers by piloting
-third is enhancing variety of the way to beat missions
-return to the fictional world called Strangereal, but want to make it enjoyable for beginners of the series.
-the place where the woman stood in PV was so high that people can't go there without pressurized suit
-that giant air ship is called "FAS"

AmyS · Dec 9, 2015

Looking forward to this games likely release in 2017 given that it's about 20% complete.

orthodoxy1095 · Dec 9, 2015

I'm not worried about this:

-return to the fictional world called Strangereal, but want to make it enjoyable for beginners of the series.

But I am curious how they'll pull it off.

Marty Chinn · Dec 9, 2015

This makes PSVR a must have for me.

UrbanRats · Dec 9, 2015

This is going to be good.

chronosic · Dec 9, 2015

Hopefully an HD collection to tide us over until this comes out.

Everything sounds glorious so far.

Probably they'll throw away the Belkan war baggage and start fresh

YASSSSS.

Praise the lord.

Difficult to know exactly what those percentages mean though. Development isn't an exact science you can easily measure.

Stike · Dec 9, 2015

Can't wait. This is one of PSVR's potential killer titles.

This may become what I always wanted to have with the Afterburner Arcade machine.

Now all I need in addition to the PSVR is a moving, shaking seat

I know that and I would be thrilled for a fall 2016 release.

Mikey Jr. · Dec 9, 2015

This might be the killer app for VR.

That mission in Battlefield 3 where you go and pilot a jet. That shit gave me chills.

To be able to do that in VR? Dear God.

It looks like there's also some HALO insertion action going by the trailer, which should also make for a good time.

Trago · Dec 9, 2015

Lookin' great! Might wanna check this out in VR if it's good.

Roni · Dec 9, 2015

I got an Arkbird feel from that giant ship. Could it be related?

Reckon they'll simply be light on references to the other games in the series.

Though if 'accessible' is taking away your squadron's personality then ugh.

TheStruggler · Dec 9, 2015

any potential window for launch date?

Idolm@s makes their money from mobile now. No need to make skins in AC.

Infinity.

UnwrittenZero · Dec 9, 2015

I need a flight stick for this and Eve for psvr. I'll be gone to the world for hours.

Speedwagon · Dec 10, 2015

I'll get PSVR for this.

Tal Shiar Agent · Dec 10, 2015

I've been waiting since Ace Combat Zero for this.

backbreaker65 · Dec 10, 2015

I said this in the other thread.

Until they commit to VR like the War Thunder devs have I don't trust this "VR Features" statement.

War Thunder Statement "our game will be playable in VR"

Ace Combat 7 "will have VR Features"

BIG DIFFERENCE.

Vic · Dec 10, 2015

Woah, this looks great.

razgriz417 · Dec 10, 2015

Shit, this maybe enough to get me to get a PSVR

TheDarkKnight774 · Dec 10, 2015

This, Rez, eve, 100ft robot golf are my must have PSVR games so far.

Memory · Dec 10, 2015

Going to love this shit in VR.

Percy · Dec 10, 2015

This is playable without VR... right?

Jawmuncher · Dec 10, 2015

Was this Console Exclusive or First on PS4?

Reallink · Dec 10, 2015

Sony please refuse to certify game with chromatic aberration.

Pie and Beans · Dec 10, 2015

The glorious return of Strangereal.

That it is the canon term now is still so hilarious to me.

Quoting my post from the other thread:

salromano said:
Ace Combat 7

The slide [at the PSX keynote] called Ace Combat 7 a "PS VR Exclusive." The press release indicates it's a PlayStation 4 game with support for PlayStation VR.

No other platforms were announced.

FlashbladeGAF · Dec 10, 2015

This and REZ are the only [near future]reasons I'm looking forward to VR

Yazzees · Dec 10, 2015

I'm guessing late 2017 release?

Nudull · Dec 10, 2015

Sounding pretty good, so far. Almost tempted to get PSVR for this.

Seconded.

dancrane212 · Dec 10, 2015

Jawmuncher said:

"PS VR Exclusive" was the text on-screen at PSX. Could just be exclusive VR features to the PS4 version that other systems wouldn't get.

PlayStation®4 players will also be able to get immersed in ACE COMBAT 7s realism through exclusive features developed specifically for PlayStation®VR.

The above quote was the only time anything "exclusive" was mentioned directly from Bandai Namco (at least that I've seen). Could be a timed announcement like Diablo 3 on PS3 where other platforms get revealed down the road.

Ridley327 · Dec 10, 2015

Percy said:

Yeah. This is just like Rez Infinite, where it's an additional feature rather than the sole feature.

Insane Metal · Dec 10, 2015

Hmmm delicious

Living Proof · Dec 10, 2015

"you can pick certain cloud in the sky and fly toward it, and the cloud will be there properly."

Destiny of the clouds? The mountains of the sky?

There's a dumb pun kicking around this low-hanging fruit somewhere.

My first Ace Combat was Ace Combat 6, I had no idea about the series before except it was a arcadey dog fighter. I have no idea what kind of dull person you have to be NOT to enjoy the fact that you were fighting for a (Not-America) Gracemaria against the (Not-Russia) Estovakia, who has a gigantic flying super carrier with super anti-air cruise missiles guarded by Spetznas Pilots. Then I heard there were things like Anti-Meteor railguns in earlier games that were used to shoot down airplanes and my mind went "How the fuck did I not know about this series before!?"

Strangereal kicked ass.

I assume they're just saying that to make it not be, like, self-referential and tackle plot points you'd only understand if you played earlier games.

Stilton Disco · Dec 10, 2015

Sounds so bloody good right now. Really hope they can pull it off.

And yeah, this and REZ make PSVR a certainty in my future now.

MouldyK · Dec 10, 2015

How would you describe Ace Combat's Gameplay? SHMUP?

SlickShoesRUCrazy · Dec 10, 2015

The F-22 having those under wing pods is annoying me lol

edit: Yes, I know in real life they have wing hard points. Kind of kills the stealth look haha.

Have you ever played a flight combat game where you can switch between first and third person before? Even something like Starfox is acceptable as being in somewhat of the same ballpark.

Ah, okay. Just wondered is all.

Because looking at some of the missions, you face against things which look like SHMUP Bosses (giant death fortresses).
