I'm down for a real Ace Combat game. Still hope they try for a story mode again.

Ace Combat 4, 5, and to a slightly lesser extent, 0, were the absolute pinnacle of this series. Six was cool too, I admittedly bought a 360 just to play 6 back in the day and I was not disappointed.
I do not see a cheesy-as-fuck story like AC5 working that well today, but if they channel AC4 in a prospective sequel... holy fuck, the world needs this (with the original OST team too, since I think the guy left Namco since AC6 and Assault Horizon).
Also, more Strangereal universe. Assault Horizon's psudeo-real-life-verse is boring a shit.

It scored that good becuase it was the first doing an amazing work on ps2. I dont think 4 passed the test of time that well. The menus are also super clumsy.
5 is a much better game that tried to do the same thing, only bigger and better. Some scores at the time said it was more of the same, and they lowered the score, but is a much better game in all aspects, gameplay included.
Maybe some people like the simpler story elements, but simpler is not always better, and playing 4 and 5 back to back, 4 story is sometimes a mess because, even being super simple, is not well executed, and theres no real characters becuase most of the things that happen in the cutscenes are not really tied to the gameplay. Its like if someone is reading a storybook nearly desligated from what is really happening.
And even with that, 5 has the arcade mode that follows that simple story if you like more what AC4 did with little mission variety, gameplay and little story.
When I played Zero the first time, up until the middle end, it didnt catch me, and i thought I was goign to love it. But from that part and a repeat, the game is fucking great. Theres some problems with the knight/neutral/mercenary bar but its really cool you see different rivals and stories by changing it.

If it's VR, I'm all over it day one.
Amen.
I'm with you bro, used to be a great series. Part of me is still waiting for proper a Ridge Racer Type 4 sequel. Though at the same time I would easily sacrifice the series for a new Ace Combat in the same vein as AC 4/5/0.
Pray to the Lord.
I think even if this rumored AC isn't the one that's PSVR enabled, one will eventually come. Cockpit games are a natural fit for VR, and since it was Bamco that was messing around that Summer Lesson VR tease, it probably means they've already been experimenting with an AC prototype.
I kept the Assault Horizon demo on PS3 for so long just to see and hear that loop. I really should find a copy just to listen to it since I liked the demo.

While we're at it, can we get another Over-G Fighters? Or at least some game that fills the gap between Ace Combat and DCS/Falcon BMS sort of like what Warthunder does for WW2 Flight Sims. I am excited to see what a next gen Ace Combat looks like because their presentation is always impressive. Hopefully it won't have the scripted Dog Fight Mode from Assault Horizon

As long as theres a HD collection of the Ps2 titles I'll be very happy.
Dude? Go play 4-6! You honestly don't know what you've been missing. Assault Horizon is AC's bastard child.

Ace combat 5..
Could always be worse...

It's not Microsoft's fault the fans didn't buy the game. Even going back to the OG Xbox, Japanese players have generally resisted buying into a foreign brand. Microsoft put forth a genuine effort.

this response written in november 19th is the oldest I can find. no sources, just claiming "you could see that message within 30 minute after (the latest) update". No other people in the thread seemed to notice such massage.
my hype is now going to FOX4.

i'd say that ac3 (japanese version) is up there with 4-5-0 as essential playing. definitely above 6 at least.
luckily the fan translation is starting to make good progress and you can play through one of the routes completely in english now.

I can't begin to express how happy I would be if the next Ace Combat returned to strangereal, had a sick doomsday weapon, and was VR compatible. God it would be wonderful.
Haven't played much of the PlayStation AC games. What's significant between the Japanese and North American release of 3?

From what I know (I only owned/played the Japanese version of AC3), the US release has a lot of missing story/scenes.
The JP version of AC3 was an extravaganza, featuring multiple animated cutscenes by production IG, branching storylines with their own endings, and 52 missions.
The western version removed all the cutscenes and replaced them with half-arsed text infodumps, changed the game to al linear sequnece of missions (cutting out many of them entirely), and entirely removed the voice acting and wingmates from (most) missions.

I can dig it (assuming its true). I played a decent amount of 3 and loved AC5. I'd love to start playing the series again. Always meant to pick up 6, but this will be even better.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
This is the news I've been coming to GAF to hear about.
who would use a random 2chan post as a...
oh
(they linked to this wiki talk but only one guy is talking about it and one of the response say it's fake, based on what google translate spews out???)

Ace Combat VR sounds like a nice fit. From the first series that let you look around the cockpit with the right analogue stock, I believe.

Assault Horizon Legazy, the remake of AC2 for 3ds, needs more love. Not as good as the ps2 trilogy, but is super fun to play and more similar to those 3 than any of the modern games.
The still look good if graphics are your problem, they aged pretty well.
The gameplay from those 3 is still better than modern ace combats (aircraft menus is 4 are a little bit iffy though).
And even if i have stated that AC4 has aged worse than 5 and Zero, is still a game that needs to be played. If only for the improvement you will see when you jump from 4 to 5.
Play 4, then arcade mode in 5 (continues the story of 4), then story mode in 5, then zero.
I'm not sure if I could get passed a PS2 game nowadays

So many years have passed and I'm still so damn pissed about this.
I was so excited for AC3 because I got to see a little of the Japanese version by pure chance but what we ended up getting was nothing short of tragic.

This.
Though as a rumor it may not be true, but it would be damn cool.
It's like Japan is finally back with the crazy amount of awesome announcements this year.
