Impressions?

Fucking insane. The intro to the first mission looked to be CGI. If it was, awesome art direction by Namco. If not... umm... I think I need to hug my 360.

How the hell did they fit all of that into a 300mb demo?!?

What a shit time for an internet connection to be playing up. Fucking dammit

Very impressive visuals. I had to stop and crash into the Golden Gate bridge just to have a look, because during the combat I was spending too much time looking for enemies to appreciate the scenery. And yeah, that intro looked brilliant.

Brilliant.

instabuy!!!

I loved that demo. I would prefer an in plane view and using my right stick as my head. Just look around and shit, so when you get buzzed by an enemy, you can track it... that would be sweet.

Danger Zone played through my head during the intro

Huh? You can click the right stick to switch between chase, HUD only, and in-cockpit view and then move it around to look.

Had a quick go last night, the game looks sensational. The action was very hectic which was great and the framerate looks rock solid. Possible GET!

Awesome demo!
I used to play PC flight sims like IL2/LOMAC so its a bit arcadie for me.Still fun tho,the combat reminds me of Crimson skies a bit.
The visuals are premo,love the camera views at the end when you see the replay.

I wish they had given us the option to do a manual takeoff at the start of the mission.

This game is no longer one of my most wanted.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 12 Jul 2007 08:38 pm

That needs explanation. Otherwise, blatant troll/cry for attention.

I did not know that. Thanks for that

1) Wait until square around dot is red
2) Spam missiles
3) Rinse and repeat

The screenshots look awesome. Then once I started playing I remembered you're never that close to the planes/dots in-game. A WW2 flying game would be better.

Shaneus · Post by **Shaneus** » 12 Jul 2007 09:06 pm

So was Rez and the Panzer Dragoon series. What's your point?

Ambrose Burnside · Post by **Ambrose Burnside** » 12 Jul 2007 09:13 pm

Ace Combat and Rez are completely different games

Sound pretty damn similar to me, but I'm just being a pedant

I just can't see why you wouldn't like it, esp. when they're boasting (at least) 16 player combat. If you're hating this because of its structure, then you can just sit in the corner and play Falcon 3.0 while we have our fun

Ambrose Burnside · Post by **Ambrose Burnside** » 13 Jul 2007 11:40 am

It's a problem with modern jets and their missiles that can hit something from a million miles away. The jets and everything look great in the screenshots and cutscenes, but in-game they're just dots on a blue background.

Which is why I would prefer a WW2 Ace Combat game.

I'm not upset that I don't like it as much as I was expecting, if anything I'm relieved because this year is going to be expensive enough as it is!

Madmya · Post by **Madmya** » 13 Jul 2007 12:27 pm

I MAY be with ambrose on this one. Undecided, need to play more of it.

It's not that the game is bad, it just might be that I don't like the genre as much as I thought. We'll see.

Exactly how I feel.

I agree. Looks awesome but the combat is just disconnected and a bit meh. I'd prefer crimson or a WWII style game too.

Pat · Post by **Pat** » 14 Jul 2007 05:10 pm

I wonder how many of you have played an Ace Combat game before? Bump up the difficulty, add in competing objectives (shoot the advancing tanks from reaching the downed plane whilst staving off an air attack on the advancing rescue troops) and you get the idea of how tough it can be.
