This game looks even better than expected. The music is awesome as well, of course.

After playing the demo I only have one thing to say.

This needs to come out NOW.

I was very impressed with the visuals, framerate (considering other 360 games), and the sharp controls. However other then the standard next-gen upgrade they haven't really done much to enhance the experiance.

I know that the HUGE online component is the biggest thing with AC6 and that there's still time till the game comes out. However I still feel like I've had this experiance before... it just didn't look as good.

*Plz don't hate me, I'm still getting stick+game combo*

No, I can understand that. The series really hasn't progressed much recently in any sort of truely innovative way. Squadron orders and the Ace Type stuff really didn't change the game entirely, but considering how damn fun it is, I don't think anyone really cares. I know I sure don't.http://colonelskills.belkanairforce....ages/ace/1.gif

Like I would have been excited as all hell if you could hear the comm chat only through the LIVE headset if you have one plugged in and do squad commands via the headset. That combined with the stick controls would have been orgasmic.

Well could it be possible that we will be able to use the headset, or has it been confirmed that you can't?


If you think about it though, you're either gonna hear a generic halo-ish kid being all "fag, you got pwned" or some diehard fan [like me prolly], going "FOX 2, FOX 2!!! SPLASH ONE!" lmao.

BTW, I just saw that video, and holy crap. That video is so amazing, and I can't believe how it sounds, and the detail that is in the game. I think what really excites me is the fact that you actually look like you're 10000 ft in the air, its so life like.

Well it hasn't been confirmed or not as to whether it'll have Single Player functionality, but usually they mention something like that as a game's bullet points.

However for online play you know it's guarenteed.

I would LOVE that. Not nearly enough games use the headset in clever ways like that. Halo 3 was the first that I noticed, when it beeps at you when you try to talk while you're dead. I'd love to be able to do something similar in AC6.

Is the music in the trailer new or is from one of the other games? I loved it and would like to listen to something like it, if there is something.

The music in the trailer is new, and what plays at the end is clearly the new theme, which they'll probably name after the title of the game. It sounds awfully similar to Razgriz and Zero, though.

I like how the demo never gets boring. Has anybody been able to shoot down the entire Strigon Squadron.

The only thing that bothers me is how the missiles feel and look like flares.

Meh I pass it off to being a demo while keeping my toes crossed. Reason why my toes are crossed is because my hands are too busy playing AC6 ;)

I can't wait for this to come out, the demo rocked pretty hard.

I finally got to play the demo and overall its very good with a bit of disappointment mixed in. It's Ace Combat so of course it plays excellent. The aircraft detail is also superb.

I'm disappointed in the environmental detail though. With these new consoles there needs to be a whole lot more small detail in these games. Missed missiles should bring those high rise buildings to the ground. Screaming past those buildings at 1000KM/hr should shatter out the building windows. Streaking a few feet above the water should disturb the water. Flying through a downed planes debris cloud should visual damage your jets airframe some. It's too bad they skipped out on these types of details because to me those types of things define the the console generation.

This begs the question, Cetra:

In a game that focuses entirely on air-to-air combat, why would they spend time adding graphical effects that only people who SUCK at the game (i.e. people who are anywhere near the ground) would need to look at?

Sorry but flying near the ground is far more fun and exhilarating than flying several thousand feet up.

No offense, but can y'all find another game to play. Leave Ace Combat to the real fans.

I wonder what precedent was set with any game of this sort or with the strength of this current generation of hardware that would allow anyone to expect and then be disappointed by the lack of details such as those.

Someone needs to shoot down the Bandai-Namco logo!

Will this game be worth it without that huge ass flightstick bundle?

Wait, never mind, I just want to hear Tails yell FOX 2 over the headset.

The AC6 demo officially marks the first Ace Combat game I've ever played. I enjoyed it, but it took a little while before I started to like it. I think I need to spend more time with it, but it definitely seems pretty cool overall.

COMPLETELY WORTH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION.

I agree it would be. Tho I think I would do it myself as well.

MOAR.

Holy shit, hopefully I'm not the only one who thought "Yellow Squadron" when they saw those black and red baddies, I think it's the numbering that does it though.

Whoa, that Sky Hangar looks sweet.

Also I forget what was said on this, but is there any customizability to the planes in this game? There had better be considering it's on Xbox LIVE. If not for the SP mode, most definatly needs it for MP.
