Air Combat
Ace Combat 2
Ace Combat 3 (PlayStation 1 Exclusives)
Ace Combat 04
Ace Combat 5
Ace Combat Zero (PlayStation 2 Exclusives)
Ace Combat 6 (360 exclusive)
Ace Combat 7 (PlayStation 4 Exclusive)
Side games:
Ace Combat X (PSP Exclusive)
Ace Combat Joint Assasult (PSP Exclusive)
Ace Combat Assault Horizon (multiplatform)
Ace Combat Assault Horizon Legacy (3DS Exclusive)
The 3DS game is actually a reimagining of Ace Combat 2. Same mission structure and missions with the veneer of Assault Horizon
That music is bringing me back.
Not particularly. There are references, some characters show up in several of them, but there is no overarching storyline. Bear in mind 0 is a prequel set before 5 (and 4 I think).
Not really.
There's a shared universe of Strangereal, but 4/5/0 and 6 are independent. The closest thing is that Belkan War (0) is a prequel; as in timeline wise it's before 4 and 5
AC5 is set in the Ridge Racer universe.

6 is a departure from the 4/5/0 world. The worst dialogue of them all though. I still reflexively puke when I hear angels in any context.

Not as good, but it has its charms. Incredible music.

So since I'm bored went and did a quick breakdown of stuff in the trailer:
Erusian flag on the old man snake pilot dude
Drone pilot
"EASA" Erusian space agency? Also drone camera thing in the RIO seat
Markings struck from the Usean fighter
Game hud, so confirm the F-16 and Su-30 in the game. Beautiful cockpit detail too
Same struck Usean designation and the F-15 shooting railguns from the gun pods
Impressive reflections and please have some high altitude/edge of space test flying
Ma-fuckin' Stonehenge back in the game.

You guys can hate it all you want but Assault Horizon was a damn good game on it's own just not as an Ace Combat.

Soundtrack is way underrated.

I agree. I liked a lot of what it had to offer. It really was missing a lot by being out of the Strangereal universe though.
Also press triangle for fist raise was fun.

So we still expecting 20% done or do we think it will come sometime before summer next year?
It's worth it. It plays like more of the same from the PS2 games, which isn't a bad thing if you like them.
The Liberation of Gracemeria is probably some of the best music in the series.

It was a decent game but ultimately trash compared to AC4 and AC5 and I bought it twice (PS3 and PC). Its soundtrack is definitely godly though, I love it. Not as good as AC5 soundtrack but still epic in its own right.Razgriz-Specter

The only thing I absolutely despised was that even with
Helicopter pilot
Helicopter gunner
Markov
illich
Janice
Bishop
Gutierrez
French NATO commander
Russian commander
They couldn't give the other 2 pilots in your 4 pilot squadron literally a second of screentime?
Especially when it seems like one of them is freaking Nagase
(though possibly in Tiger or Coyote squadrons.)

The VR demo is about 4 mins long and is about as involved as jackal. Infact the lock-on mechanics and push R2 to launch is the same.
So is this just going to be an add on or can you play the campaign in VR does anyone know?

For world reference. For those unfamiliar with the Strangereal world
AC4 is Erusea vs ISAF (Rest of the nations on the same continent)
AC5 is Osea vs Yuktobania
AC0 is Belka vs everyone around them
AC6 is Emmeria vs Estovakia
AC7 being Erusea vs Osea. And they say Erusea is a continent so possible they finally conquered the whole continent
Cause Mobius One died of old age probably or something like that
Since I started with AC5 I don't know anything about Usea, but lemme get this straight:
So the first four games mainly concerned what was going on on the Usean continent, which Namco then pretended was a fictional continent in our world? Then with AC5 Namco said "the whole world is now fictional" and retconnect the previous games to reflect this?
No, the Strangereal universe has been around since at least AC4. That's actually where the very first world map we got comes from.
The first two games in the series were called Air Combat and Air Combat 22.
Ace Combat 2 was the first one with the "Ace" name and was it's own thing. Its remake Assault Horizon Legacy brings it into Strangerea.
Ace Combat 3 was in the distant future where megacorporations and a UN-like group rule the world.
Ace Combat 4 was where we got the Strangereal concept really solidifying. An asteroid called Ulysses 1994FX04 breaks up in orbit, raining down pieces that destroy numerous places. In response a facility like Stonehenge was built in order to destroy any other parts that fall into the atmosphere. Erusea takes it over to grant themselves a huge anti-air weapon, a big advantage as they invade the rest of the continent's countries.
AC5, Zero, and AC6 simply continue to develop that world by jumping to other conflicts around the world. AC5 is two superpowers going to war because they're being manipulated by bitter Belkan losers. Zero jumps back in time to follow that very war.
Ace Combat X is in Strangereal and covers the war between Aurelia and Leasath, to the south of the Osean Federation.
That world is a big part of Ace Combat, and one part of why people were instantly hostile to Assault Horizon.

oooOOooohhhhHH!!
F-104, one of my favorite aircraft. If they include other early Cold War weapons then I'll be very happy with this game.
Impressive reflections and please have some high altitude/edge of space test flying
That would be amazing.
Even more so if (and I can't help but to think about it) this plane was in:
Vought XF8U-3 Crusader III aka the Super Crusader (from 1958 !!)

A lot of the superweapons in Strangereal were built to counter Ulysses. Most of them weren't completed in time and hundreds of thousands of people were killed by what Stonehenge couldn't handle.
Except for Zero: The Belkan War, every game set in Strangereal is part of the Legacy of Ulysses arc. We think the last Ulysses superweapons, the Chandelier, was destroyed in 6 but who knows with 7?
The Arkbird was originally an anti-asteroid weapon.
About that... Bandai-Namco held a poll a while back asking people which games from the Ace Combat and Ridge Racer franchises they'd like to see remade. Ace Combat 5 won the Ace Combat side, and Ridge Racer 4 won on the RR side.
So if anything comes from that, we're in for a AC5 remake/remaster.

Ace Combat 4 was my first ps2 game when I was a kid. Hyped as hell for this.

I'm so happy Ace Combat is back to Strangereal. We just need a little strange.
Ah, you don't know how good it feels to talk about all this while we have a brand new, traditional AC7 on the way. FUCK YES WE'RE GETTING ACE COMBAT 7!
But yeah, we've got the Arsenal Bird in AC7 which bears more than a passing resemblance to the Arkbird but that looks more like it fills the giant aircraft archetype rather than the big superweapon of the game. Like others have said earlier, it might be that space elevator, maybe rigged with a bomb?
Have you played Infinity? That game's twist was that there were multiple Stonehenges built, suggesting a standardized anti-asteroid solution.
Not that I think about it, one reason why I like Strangereal so much is the freedom it provides. They're not constrained by real world national bullshit.
just wanted to point out that ace combat was always ace combat on ps1. it was renamed air combat in the english versions
