I still feel Ace Combat 4 reached the peak of action/story telling/music/gameplay.
Ed should hire that man. Damm they know how to make nice graphics , sad that its pure flight game , would kill to get something like that but sim lite
Mac wont cut it, no immersion (story etc what is always been great in ace combat series )
Did you try the update before last? Seems to have some performance improvments. DCS has never been better, for me.
Thatās right, it really improved, even on my old rig.
No, Iād uninstalled as it was that way for a while so I thought Iād been pushed out. I had it tweaked at almost low settings and it was running nicely then they did something and was unplayable.
Iāll give it another install though because I just bought the Hornet so felt pretty miffed Iād wasted that money.
Is that the one with the flamenco guitar music? Because that was ace.
All this Ace Combat talk is making wanna break out AC6. I flipping loved this game when it came out. I still love the trailer.
So far AC7 has my interest, but with no current gen console I guess Iāll be sitting it out lol
Itās on PC 31 Januaryā¦
Itās out on steam at the end of this month. Iāve got it on my wishlistā¦ Im pumped to have a less serious plane game to play. Dcs is a fantastic thing obviously but sometimes I really want to pull 15g and kill 50 migs per mission and feel like a hero lol
@mace sorry didnāt see you had already said that
No worries
No, the one you referring to was Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. To be honest all PS2 era Ace Combat games had something special. The only good ones after that were Ace Combat 6 for 360 and Ace Combat X for PSP.
It looks amazing and Iām pretty sure my PC will run it. Just wondering if itās going to be worth the money when I know ED has Modern Air Combat coming soon.
Actually, I only played one that sucked, the one where they went with āreal worldā stuff. And you had this weird autopilot driven wigglecam for gun kills. It sucked. But I donāt remember any of the other ace combats ever being anything less than awesome wild and very pretty fun.
It looks great but Iām honestly going to wait on a GOTY. Itās ā¬85 to get all the planes and missions right now.
@schurem I think that was Assault Horizon? Atleast with the weird gun mode. I never made it past the first mission.
I bought Assault Horizon on sale and it was one of the only Steam games I simply forfeited after I couldnāt get a refund. I didnāt even want to see it in my library. Worst $5 Iāve ever spent, and that includes that one time I was so hungry, I walked into a Dairy Queen and ordered tacos.
Yeah, that was Assault Horizon. I was so hyped for that game. Sadly after playing the demo I lost all hope. But bough it for PC only to support their PC release. Luckily this time weāre getting proper AC sequel set in strangereal with a proper cheesy-dialogue-epic-campaign.
Iām basically praying it is a āmetal gear aeroplaneā type story. Corny cheesy and a bit embarrassing. I canāt wait lol
LOLOLOL! This guy cracked me up!
QFT
Also good, and I had to have watched that trailer about a dozen times that E3 it came out. Still have the soundtrack on my workout playlist too! Bought the collectors edition with the included HOTAS, which so happed to come out on my birthday. I remember having to take a major business stats class that got out 15 min before gamestop (lol) closed. Set that hotas up with the stick on my playseats racing chassis, and the throttle on the coffee table in my college apartment in front of the 42" plasma (my paid internships were good to me ) . My first sim pit, now that I think about it.
Yup. AC has always been the āpopcorn movieā of flight āsims.ā You ave to lean into the Hollywood/anime trope cheese, but youāre rewarded handsomely when you do. DCS is by comparison a documentary. Itās highly cerebral, and rewarding in itās own way, but dryer than the dessert in summerā¦
