Ace Combat 7PS4

[Dan]

If the multiplayer gameplay is anything like Infinity's (two teams compete to destroy everything), I sure hope fighters are balanced. It was so frustrating to fly in to battle with my slow-as-hell A-10 Warthog, only to find that every ground target was wiped out by high-speed, highly maneuverable fighter jets.

 

[nocturnalgrey]

Yeah I'm sick of the Infinity grind. Be interesting to see how much of that games features get carried over to 7.

I retired from AC: Infinity several months ago but I am pretty confident we long time fans should be in for a treat.

EDIT: @Dan ... I think everything was pretty balanced in Infinity IF your aircraft was leveled high enough. I routinely used an the A-10 with 4AGM's successfully.

I'd like to see a more co-op based multiplayer mode, one where everyone is rewarded for completing a mission rather than one team competing against the other to destroy the most. That way you don't always need to fly a crazy uber jet to be successful.

The Attackers weren't bad, but definitely any jet really needed to be on the same level as your opponents. Even my F-117 held its own against top-flite opponents.

Agreed! I would love to see Ace Combat ditch the lone wolf approach and actually have assigned roles for each team. One person handles air to air, the other gets air to ground, the third player handles air to surface (water) targets while the fourth person could handle some type of support role.

Yes! Once i got my planes around Level 15, I found I was in pretty good shape with just about any aircraft, although I did favor certain types in specific levels.

Let's get this bird in the air!

 

[Jawehawk]

So, let's do a quick run down.

- Omg, There's an F-104 Starfighter!
- Rain effects on the cockpit, perhaps even dynamic weather? Clouds looking awesome too.
- Story going to play around with the concept of a nation, which could be interesting, assuming they do it right.
- Blue lazers? Yeah, I have no idea what else to call it.
- Aside from the F-104, the F-15, Mirage 2000 and Rafale added to the known plane rooster. Sad to not have seen an F-16 yet, but I'll assume it's in the game. I mean, there is no possible way it could be left out.
- We'll potentially fly with 4 wingmen this time around? (Based on the end of the trailer)

I'm awaiting more info with the utmost impatience... Also, no release window (Read later post, the game will reportedly release in 2017!)

- Rain effects on the cockpit, perhaps even dynamic weather? Clouds looking awesome too.
- Hopefully I'm wrong here, but we might be looking at yet another case of all the planes using the same basic cockpit. I really hope this isn't the case, as it would give the individual planes so much more identity if they had their real world cockpits modelled. This would especially benefit VR.
- Story going to play around with the concept of a nation, which could be interesting, assuming they do it right.

What do you mean by that? Generic cockpits? The cockpits are different from each other...

I believe I saw one in the trailer:

The images that Formidable have posted do indeed show two different cockpits. My guess is that the first cockpit is from an older fighter, back when having a billion gauges were still the norm. The 2nd image then, is for a newer fighter, with digital screens having taken over. The HUD icon displays what appears to be an F-18, and a quick Google search reveals that that is not an F-18 cockpit.

He showed three distinctive cockpits. The first from the F-104 Starfighter, the second from the F-15C Eagle and the third from the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet (which has a slightly different cockpit from the A/B/C/D versions of the Hornet).
The cockpits represent their real life counterparts, always has been the case as far as I know from previous games.

You are right. That is indeed the cockpit of the F-104, and the HUD icon that I thought displayed an F-18, is in fact displaying an F-15, which makes the cockpit correct. Well, this is good news. 👍

 

[Lain]

Never played an Ace Combat game and I typically suck at flying in games, but that trailer looked awesome. Definitely gonna pick it up at some point.

First impressions on AC7 played in VR.

Also found some screens confirming the F-16 to be in the game.

Edit: That 2nd last picture with the Rafale. Is that the same island/airfield you operate out of in the first couple of missions in Unsung War?

 

[Paulie]

Trailer looked great, really looking forward to the game.

Finally we have a base version of the F-16 with those IFF antennas in front of the cockpit. Makes the plane look more agressive.

What I'd really like to see is if anyone's taken any video of the gameplay demo at PSX. I've only seen pictures so far.

I only read about it. Can you post the pictures please?

[dacc10]

Nice to see that the camera angle can move a lot more, so now we see the full cockpit.
And nice that, atleast in VR, we see the radar displaying in one of the LCD screens inside the cockpit.

This game could be the sole reason I want VR...I say want because no money.

I'm just worried that it'll be limited to a certain mode/campaign. The way it's worded on the official site is worrying.

Just as I started to revisit Ace Combat, and Download Infinity, they do this.

Hell. Yes.

Dude, where were you last year?

Is it silly that I thought these whole pictures was in-game? I thought we were in for some extreme inception for a second

 

[nocturnalgrey]

After watching that trailer a few times I am as excited as ever! This game will be the main reason I am buying PlayStation VR.

I will wait until I see full confirmation of it, but it looks as if we get to look at the entire cockpit of the plane we are flying. This will add some immersion to the game that's for sure, especially since Project Aces started giving us cockpits of ever plane we fly since AC04.

Why is there no pre order yet?

No real release date either unfortunately.
