Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

I could have sworn we had a topic for this already but whatever~

I dunno about the quicktime event looking things and the helicopter flying, but we'll see. 6 kinda sucked, but this already looks so much better.

DAT MUSIC

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

**** dawg. Flying through cities? EXCITING ACTION? :V

I've been waiting for Ace Combat to get to this point.

I dunno about that music though. I thought the series was all about orchestral scores and choruses?

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

Oh just wait. They always have kickass sweeping orchestras and then bust out the big guns near the end of the game.

3:30-4:30 is a straight minute of musical ******.


Im sad that its based in the real world though. Im gonna miss all those made up fantasy countries, and crazy super weapons.

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

I'm pretty sure it still has the crazy super weapons. It cant be based completely in reality.

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

When's this series going to get with the times and give us a sandbox-style pervasive game world? I mean seriously, missions? Does it also have Mode 7 graphics and a password system so you can continue your game later?

Enjoy your repetitive escort missions, game-crashing glitches, low-res textures, and terrible character models and animations~

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

So Ace Combat has never had an escort mission before?

Oh yeah, prolly, I'm not a big follower of the series, but hey, you left out all that other stuff i said about sandbox games

Yes, there are some escort missions, but they're usually a cut above what you usually see in a sandbox game. Plus I don't think being able to borrow the plane and go joyriding fits much into the game's concept, and would actually be kind of dull unless they include random encounters, which is a whole other can of worms. In the previous games there were usually at least a few missions where you were free to attack several different locations in whatever order you wished.

Definitely stoked about the new look, and the helicopter missions should change things up a bit more than in previous iterations.

That's because game-crashing glitches are hardly exclusive to, or even a lot more prevalent in, sandbox games. And the other two are visual issues, which always take a back seat to gameplay.

Though I will admit I was not seriously advocating the series go in that direction. I haven't played any of them (aside from a spot of multiplayer with a good friend of mine who loves the series; personally, I never took to flying games, either combat or simulator, with the possible exception of Star Fox 64 and a couple of the Star Wars titles), but to the best of my knowledge, the only game to marry sandbox and flight with any remote success was Crimson Skies, which was a good seven years ago. So it wouldn't be the smartest move.

Watch it full screen in 720p.



Thats the ace combat im talking about baby~

Re: Ace Combat:Assault Horizon

Im having a hard time deciding if I like the dogfight camera where it zooms up close and switches to a super easy control scheme and uses quicktime events.

They've said its an option you can choose to turn on or off with there being "Classic" controls and the new ones without the zooming in quicktime stuff. It does look pretty cool.

Comes out on October 10th! Dark Souls comes out in October too doesnt it? Goddamnit.
