According to the new issue of OXM Ace Combat 6 will be a timed exclusive, meaning that it will come out on the PS3 a few months later. Kind of like Virtua Fighter 5 except hitting consoles the other way around.

"Exclusive, Yo: Not only is Ace 6 the first time the series has departed from a Sony platform and handhelds, but it's a timed exclusive for Xbox 360. It won't hit the other systems for a while." -OXM May

You guys can put this thread back in General Gaming or leave it here, it's of no concern to me, I just thought I'd throw that new info out there.

Anyone else who's looking for more details on AC6, check out the new OXM.

No sense in moving this over to the General's house of Gaming at the moment, it can stay until the PS3 version hits.

this game would have been one of the few reasons for me to get a 360, but now it can also be a reason for me to get a ps3 since it will be released on it as well :D

I'm the same way. The Ace Combat games just grab you like no other game. I was especially happy with the last two games, where more attention was shifted towards the story.

I'll wait a while till it is actually confirmed that it will be released on PS3 later. If not, then I will actually buy a Xbox for this.

Two new planes unveiled!

This thread needs more TRAILER.

Also this

Wow...

ACE COMBAT is known for having one of the best VGM soundtracks, and I fell in love with this footage theme at a first listen. Keiki Kobayashi, one of the best VGM composers ever, has reused his previous materials in 05 and ZERO and always stepped it up a notch. This time, again, he surely reuses his own "First Flight" and whatnot melodies from ACE COMBAT5. I, however, am never bored with such a rehash, and I'm rather amazed how he reinterprets his prior work and bumps up it a notch.

I'm pretty certain an AC6 OST will be the soundtrack of this year, and "Fires of Liberation" (the last mission theme, presumably) will be the song of this year, too.

Game-wise... maybe it will be better than ZERO.

All I can say about ace combat 6 it is it is sooo bought. I will get my hands on the game ASAP. I am a big fan of the ace combat games and this game looks like it will be a great game as well.

WoW that trailer was orgasmic.

I think the game and that controller will be a one-two punch combo that will knock any gamer out from being too awesome, lol.

Can't wait for this.

I go out for most of the day and this is what I miss?

Holy FUCK. I am seriously typing this post up with one hand because the other is firmly flying all over my dick and not letting go. Hot holy shit fuck.

They can charge me 700 dollars for this and I won't care.

FUCK.

FUCK

I think I came.

That trailer looked damned nice, though I can't shake the feeling that the story segments could've been done some other way. It still looks rough/odd to me and I doubt that'll change from now till the release date. We what looks like some new super weapons (some sort of new burst missle, bomber thing).

About the HOTAS setup, couldn't you simply use the flightsticks from the preivous games? They're essentially the same thing except for some color differences, no?

Well I am not sure if the 360 will let you use a controller that was not made for a x box....tho I am not sure about any usb one for pc's that are around

Yeah, I was about to say, it's just a usb stick & throttle setup. IIRC, the Flightstick 2 works with AC4 as well as 5 and Zero. Just asking, since I already have the one offered for AC5.

Just 'cause it's USB doesn't mean that the hardware can be recognized/used by the 360. There's all sorts of issues with device signing/drivers/and so forth that are required to get a device working on the thing. (Alternatively, some items don't require such things to work. Most extremely simple USB devices are like this. Also, UPnP stuff that just have generic drivers will also work, but again, that's a limited set of things you're talking about here.)

That's why your average joystick won't work with the 360 and you need to buy the special products. This thing is likely in the same boat.

Yeah they're right. Mostly it's just 360 devices that works on the 360 besides thumbdrives and i-pods.

However your flight stick would work on a PS3 if you had one.

Lucky you :( If I know what I did that I would have done anything to get it

ps: that joystick worked for ac4,5, and zero because they were all ps2 games :D

Gah, looks like that's out then. First I heard about the 360 having problems with various USB devices, but after you explained it, I can see why. Sucks that it kind of defeated the point of USB by requiring specialized products.

Folks were expecting it not to work, mianly because a lot of USB stuff doesn't work with the PS2. There was a driver for the FS2 floating around online that let you use it on your PC, but I don't play any flight sims on the PC and didn't pick it up.

For those who haven't tried something like Hori's sticks, it really changes how you experience the game.

Well if they made a ace combat game (or anything like it) for pc I would buy it

I never tried to play a ace combat game with a flight stick...I wish I could

Oh fuck that trailer is kick ass. I cannot wait for this game. But I'm interested in some story details. I hope some more info comes out soon.

Also /r/ more AC 6 music pls :(

I need to get me a working 360 before this hits..

Can someone with Gamespot Total Access grab that HD version and put it up for download somewhere?

This trailer is made of win on all fronts. I came.

I noticed that at around 38 seconds in, the black aircraft shown looks like a sukhoi... except that it doesn't at the same time. I'm guessing it's the first of many super aircraft in this game.

Slowly making our way back to Electrosphere.

Such a great trailer. Can't wait. I just hope they start taking pre-orders for the flight stick soon.
