    Just two weeks to go!

    There were some pretty great deals over the holidays on flight sticks.

    That story looks like ridiculous bullshit. I can't wait.

    the usual brilliant mix of "i have no idea what the fuck is going on" "watch out for that crazy enemy ace" and "what the hell is THAT giant <superweapon>" ace combat is loved for

    Got a PSVR for christmas, so PS4 version is on preorder. If the missions are good enough, I may look into flight sticks later.

    I'm not ruling out buying a second copy on PC for my Logitech X-56 HOTAS, depending on the implementation. But I already have my XB1 pre-order.

    Yeah, once the price drops some, I may take a look. I'd imagine the extra horsepower from the PC would look really nice. I wonder how mod friendly it'll be.

    I'd wish they'd do the Shadow of War thing and make a digital purchase on Xbox also work on Windows 10 PCs....a fanciful dream.

    I'm not expecting it to be mod friendly, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong. I want my VF-0!

    I eagerly await the soundtrack more than the game itself... Project Aces' composers make good stuff.

    On those flightstick deals.

    Thrustmaster PS3/PC for $35.

    Trustmaster PS4/PC for $72.

    It's $200 for the official stick otherwise.

  • Options

    At a similar price point, the Xbox/PC Thrustmaster is $70. If I didn't already own an X-56, I'd seriously consider it.

    Kind of want to wait on flight sticks. Ace Combat is more arcade-y, not sure how much i’d get out of using a stick over a controller. If the VR experience is over the top, that might sell me.

    AC5, 0, and 6 were all great with a flight stick. But I'll be playing this on PS4 so no stick for me this time.

    I'd be extremely surprised if those official HOTAS were not available afterwards--perhaps at cheaper prices. Even in the small numbers HORI keeps producing them, it's really hard to imagine a console HOTAS selling out, and past AC HOTAS bundles were available for a while after the games released. You're probably fine waiting.

    Those Thrustmaster flightsticks will be available long after the next Xbox and Playstation consoles are released.

    They've released the opening video if you want to spoil yourself a little bit.

    Opening shot looks like a callout to Macross Plus.

    I'm not watching it yet, but supposedly a director from Macross is doing the cutscenes.

    I can only hope we don't end up in a high speed super-sonic pursuit of an advanced drone over downtown airspace.

    For a second I thought Bryan Cranston was going to be a voice in Ace Combat 7 (he has done dub voice roles for anime).

    I was disappointed. :sad:

    This is ace combat. You will pursue the drone through the metro tunnels.

    I'm replaying Zero right now, seems like a good opportunity to try the Knight path. (I've done Soldier and Mercenary.)

    By I hope we don't, I mean I hope we totally do.

    I want AC7 to be so anime it bleeds into the rest of the forum.

    I was so excited to see the painting in the trailer and a mention of a fabled mirror.

    So...any chance Ace Combat 6 goes back-compat before the 18th? 'cuz I still need to go through that...but it's just a pain in the ass replugging the ol' 360 back in (plus, I can't stand the controller after touching the perfection that is the Xbox Elite controller).

    I actually really enjoyed Ace Combat 6. :( I'm going to have a difficult time with my third play of Zero, I'm missing some mercenary scenes and some knight scenes because I switched paths midway through on my last time playing it.

    I'd rather stare down a gun cam than dance with another fucking angel.
