Ace Combat 6 Trailer out

[thetruecoolness]

Man this game looks awesome, so much more detail on the cities and such, and seems like quite a lot of new features, and maybe even a full squadron in the story again and not just a two man team like Zero.

Also a new article on it

This part looks particularly interesting

Though the early missions in the game will likely be a cakewalk for Ace Combat vets, you'll want to get used to one of the new mechanics in the game: allied support. Here, you can order allied forces--ground, aerial, or naval in nature--to assist you in your enemy assaults. You can also choose whether to have them attack specific areas on the battlefield or simply provide cover assault by attacking any enemy that targets your plane. However, you won't have immediate access to allied support. You'll first need to fill up a meter in the lower left-hand corner of the screen by shooting down enemies. Once it's available, you must select the allied units you wish to help you by pointing the nose of your plane in that units' direction, then press either up or down on the d-pad. Up will choose "attack" enemy units, down will choose "cover". Producers told us that the support feature will be crucial to your success as you progress through the game and that units you help during one mission will be available to you later. Certainly, that kind of firepower will be helpful to you when taking on the big boss planes that will surely find their way into Ace Combat 6.

And of course this, but this had already been announced.

The single-player game in Ace Combat 6 will boast improved artificial intelligence because enemy planes will work more skillfully both as individuals and in formation. Beyond that, the game will have multiplayer dog fighting via Xbox Live. While Namco hasn't yet announced final details on the online portion of the game, we do know that several multiplayer match types will make their way into the game. These matches include deathmatch, team deathmatch, and cooperative play, where you and friends will take on computer-controlled enemies.

Man I hope this comes out by the end of the year. It will certainly make me even happier about my future XBox 360 purchase.

It looks like it's also going back to a deep storyline, like they had in AC5. Hopefully they don't continue to overdo the nickname thing, though. It was cool in AC5, but then they had to give you a nickname in Zero and X, and it kind of killed the thrill.

It's almost enough reason for me to buy an X-Box (Assuming that it doesn't get ported to PS3 or PC).

I kind of hope it eventually goes to PS3, or at least ends up on the same console as RPGM4. My desk doesn't have enough space for more than maybe one or two consoles (Currently a PS2, which gets moved back and forth between my desk and my PC for RPGM stuff, and a Gamecube, which I rarely use).
