I love Ace Combat.

And I really love the Ace Combat Zero trailer... so so awesome!

EDIT: Thanks Wario, a pic thread with no pics is no fun

looks good

 

[aparisi2274]

is this supposed to be a remake of the original Ace Combat? It seems from the trailer that the game takes place in 1995 when the original came out on PS... Any ideas?

More like a prequel I think. The start of the Belkin war or something like that. Check Gamespots preview.

Glad to see a wide screen mode. Did AC5 have one? Hopefully progressive as well (although I doubt it).

I think they've all had widescreen mode since AC4.

Looks good! Can't wait to see how this series looks on (what will likely be) PS3.

 

[chinmonster]

This is lookin' pretty good. Any word on progressive scan?

 

[Willy Wanka]

Looking very good

 

[choplifter]

awesome! perhaps the last great PS2 game for me

 

[SnakeXs]

One word: Pure, sex.

Since my room's changed a ton since AC5, I'm gonna have to find a new way to mount my AC5 flight stick, but I can't wait.

 

[bonkbonk]

hot sex

This is a prequel to AC5. Namco hallowed is thy name...

 

[Tiger]

It's amazing what this team can do on the PS2 hardware. If only they could get the game running in progressive scan. Maybe....


It's crazy to imagine what a team like this can do with the PS3 or 360 hardware. :O

Did they use Google Earth for their ground textures???

Seriously... that looks like it's a Google Earth screencap with some planes photoshopped in.

 

[Leonsito]

Ace Combat meets Google Earth

Wow, beaten :lol

 

[llTll]

yeah it does look like they were using google earth. all cool though

 

[Yoboman]

I want a next gen one. Guess I could occupy myself with this in the meantime

 

[AndreasNystrom]

why would namco make new satphotos when they can buy from google?

Looks great. havent played any other then the first Ace Combat (got the game at PSX launch) greatest flight"sim"

 

[pestul]

Rotate the buildings a little, add a dome and tower.. and I would have mistaken that for Toronto.

 

[Hyoushi]

Su-47!!!

 

[Gibbo]

Who is doing the music for this game?

In before me, dude. Exactly what I was thinking.

Game looks ace, though.

 

[RaijinFY]

The same ones, as usual.

Been the same since AC4. Namco was using Satellite Data before Satellite Data was cool.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Don't hate me.

I gotta admit, after seeing the widescreen ratio and the low-rez jaggies on those 2P huds, I thought I was looking at PSP screens.

Not that impressive looking in some of those shots.

 

[Red Blaster]

I hate you.

 

[Gek54]

Mmm, PS2 is dying hard.

 

[FtsH]

should I chose this one or OverG on XBOX360?

 

[Doom_Bringer]

EDIT:

Yeah it does look like they've added a bit more to the explosions... ah more Ace Combat goodness... and so much sooner than I originally expected it... Namco you love me... you really love me!

 

[Doom_Bringer]

downloading now!

 

[RaijinFY]

Looks hot definitely!

EDIT: Awesome explosions!

 

[Doom_Bringer]

the music in the second ign video is pretty hot. Namco sound department kicking ass XD

And the voice acting sounds much better compared to ACV. I am gonna love this game.

awesome! perhaps the last great PS2 game for me

very awesome indeed

 

[AndreasNystrom]

i had ace combat as my prebooked game on the psx-launch.. loved that game!.

cant wait to play this baby. looks great

 

[jett]

Man WTF!? It seems they've regressed to generic no-name wingmen. Fucking cheap-ass cop-out Namco.

Does it really matter what the names of your wingmen are? And I hardly think Namco saves any money by using generic wingmen names instead of the ones in AC5.

I'm really anticipating AC0 - playing through AC5 right now (first time) and it's awesome!

The difference between AC4 and AC5 is massive in that respect. So yes, it does matter. It just seems like a big step backward.

 

[Pachinko]

I'm eagerly anticipating next gen flight games, where I fully expect 10 times the overal graphic detail. Most especially the city models in current gen ace combat could REALLY be revamped. I want fully modeled buildings and seperatly textured roads and foliage/etc. We've allready showcased that textures can look atleast 3 times as good with only launch 360 titles so I expect atleast 4 times the texture detail! Explosions with fully volumetric smoke that lingers for a second as bits of plane and 1000's of particles drift to the surface, perhaps actual weather systems.


This looks alllright though, definetly showing the ps2's age though.
