Namco-Bandai releases a shitload of images for Ace Combat 6 as well as an awesome trailer, entirely in real-time. We'll wait to see how the game responds hands-on before getting too excited, but this sure looks extremely promising.
My interest in the game has gone from I will get it at some point to I'm gonna have to get it at launch. looks stunning and this could be my first console flight sim ... I am tired of Flight simulator X so this could be the fix!
this game is going to be so much fun. over-g was the biggest and saddest example of a flying shooter i've ever seen. but.... ace combat looks absolutely awesome
FINALLY.... a real modern air-warfare game that i can fall in love with... over-g was nothing... and im a airfare guru so you know what... BRING ON THE ACE COMBAT and thank god its a 360 game!
June 15, 2007 - Seeing a series migrate from one system to another always raises a few eyebrows. Why did the developers make the switch? Was it the superior hardware of one console over another? Maybe it was a dispute with the bigwigs at a given company? Or maybe it was some feature that one console had over another. In the case of Ace Combat's migration to greener, Xbox 360 pastures it was the latter. Xbox Live was what coerced the folks at Namco-Bandai to bring their perennial Playstation powerhouse over to Microsoft's console.
Online play is a big part of what differentiates Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation from past titles, and the Xbox 360's solution was simply a better fit for the gameplay that Namco was trying to bring to the game. We got a brief chance to fly through the skies of Ace Combat 6 at a recent Namco preview event, and while there were no multiplayer modes on display, we do know that the game will feature deathmatch, team deathmatch, and co-op play. A developer on-hand said that they've currently got the game running with 16 players online, but they're hoping to bump that number up to 32 to make the skies nice and crowded with enemy planes.
I SOO SOO SOOO SOOO hope they've got some sexy canyons and stuff... their was nothing like in the old flight-fighters of doing mach1 in a canyon trying to outrun some idiot in a MIG, or blasting through a city, getting to show off how wicked your skills are in comparison to the guy on your tail... I need a game that shows me speed and thats what i want!
16... 32 i dont care their both nice numbers too high a number and it'll end up being chaos ... i rather wicked flying skills over giant dogfights but hey thats me... i like feeling like im in topgun :)
