[360] Ace Combat 6 (More homosexual than Top Gun) (Fuck you, high-low fives are awesome)

I think when it comes to customizing a plane, I would keep it real. You know, giving it authentic camoflague or grey scale paint job. I wouldn't wanna make it crazy like "DURR GUNN HAV DA RAINBOW PLANEEE!!". I'd love to bring some of the paint jobs from the old games into this one, like the Grabacr colors, Razgriz camo [F-14D, Su-37/35 from AC5]. Stuff like that.


And now with this 'Rumor' going around about the 360 getting a price drop...man, I can't believe it. It's just unfortunate though that Ace Combat 6 isn't going to be simultaneously released on the ps3. On one hand I really want the ps3 for the backwards stuff and PSP connectivity, but at the same time the 360 is also looking better and better each month, and it's game choices are pretty good too. It's hard


FELIPE NO

The game will look worse on PS3. Believe it.

Although it'd be interesting to see what the team could have done with PS3 hardware from the ground up.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ace Combat 6 Achievements Yo. Slight mission spoilers (Destroy ___ or Make sure ___ lands type stuff).

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Holy shit, Namco's not screwing with the PAL version by cutting off the number and giving it some stupid new subtitle like they have been doing since AC04. =o

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So the achievements list is indicating that the game has only 11 missions?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The last secret ones could be unrevealed missions to prevent spoilers, or something.

Most amazing jew boots

Let's hope so, since #11's doesn't really sound like a final mission name like we've seen for the other games. Though, now that I take into account your control over air and ground forces, an invasion in the last mission is definitely possible.

I was speaking idiomatically.

11 overall missions, that doesn't suggest what comprises a mission though. Plus as Skills says, there could be more in the secret achievements.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I sure hope so 11 missions is not big enough

FELIPE NO

in the latest preview from Leipzig, its been said there are 15 missions. Beside, why isnt there any achievement for retaking Gracemaria or downing Strigon team? hmm? hmm?

That would be what the four secret achievements are for.

PAL box art changed.



It's now the same as the Japanese box, but they've removed all the cloud related homosexuality.



Phew, that was a close one. Hey yeah, I bump threads just for box art. I'm cool.

How ya doing, buddy?

Why I havent bought a 360 and played the demo yet is beyond me...

What am I waiting for XD

How ya doing, buddy?

LoL.

Uhhh, is this supposed to be New York.

I quite like the European box art myself. The American one doesn't look right. The planes might be taking off at that angle, but I doubt they would be in that position with other enemy ships so close.

Oh well, no big deal.

Actually, having vertical advantage is a huge bonus, so that climb could be to establish that, or it could be part of one of plenty of maneuvers, like an eventual stall turn of some kind, for example. To assume the only way they've ever be at that angle would be during a full-burn take off is silly.

Loving the new choral piece! Man, looks like I might have to import the game's soundtrack. Can't wait play it either, just one more month.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Oh god, the final orchestral version of the AC6 theme.

Kobayashi is unstoppable.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, if I get a 360 this Holiday season, I know one title I'm going
to pick up. This game looks great. :3

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Corrected that statement for you there DN. Really though, with the games coming out in the next few months there's little excuse for not getting a 360. In fact there's a whole lot of reason to get one, Ace Combat 6 being just one of them.

I wasn't planning to get the flight stick version, but I've just had a look today, wondering what price it might be over here in the UK and it seems we don't get that option. O_O

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Not to sound like a complete idiot, but this being the first Ace Combat game I've ever played (or flight sim at all, for that matter) I'm a bit confused on the mechanics. I've been playing the demo, but never figured out how to make missiles actually hit reliably. Occasionally I see a "Shoot" prompt come up, and when that happens, they almost always connect (and kill), but getting that seems to be a complete crapshoot. Is there some vital mechanic I'm missing here beyond just getting the target square in the middle of my screen and pressing B?

I also occasionally see a small circle pop up on the HUD and (seemingly) move about at total random. What's that about?

Amazing graphics, though--just the reason I got a 360 last week for. Just need an HD TV set now. ;_;

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Intercept geometry is a major issue here. Ideally, fire from behind your target while it is proceeding in roughly the same direction you are; conversely, firing on one crossing your view is least likely to yield results.

That's your gunsight; when using cannons to engage a target, aim for that, not the actual plane. If you do get the demo, be sure to play through the tutorials; those should clarify things.

How can you tell when missiles actually "lock" though? Is it just whatever happens to be in front of you, or your target (switched by Y)?

So get the enemy within that circle if using cannons? Check. And I do have the demo already--did you mean the actual game?

Let's see... as you've probably noticed, every enemy plane in your field of view has a green box on it. If your current target is off-screen, an arrow will point to it, as seen above.


Your current target will have a data block next to this box. If you're locked on, as is the case in the above image, the box will instead be a red box-and-diamond.

No, no, no. Take note the two symbols in the dead-center of the HUD... when you do fire the cannon, you will see that the fire heads for one of those (the 'w'; someone double-check that for me, please?). You put thatinside the gunsight, which represents where you have to aim to hit the target.

How ya doing, buddy?
