They just announced this game for 360 and screenshots. The screens look so real. Its going to have 16 player support on live

+ 1

Begs the question though, do any of the console platforms have supported HOTAS systems and titles that can take advantage of them? I honestly have no clue.

All you really need is support for three simultaneous axes, a dozen or two buttons, and the ability to assign them in the game. Doesn't seem like it should be a big deal to do given the current level of technology.

 

wow, I hope this game will be good, I love playing these kinda games.

 

The 16 player dog fights is well worth it, if they can pull it off right.

 

Love the Ace Combat series.

 

can't wait!

would definitely be nice if they had some new control stick/throttle hardware to go with it

 

Did you guys ever play air force delta storm on the previous xbox?

I liked playing that game a lot. grahics were pretty good. controls were ok, it would have been awesome to have the stick and throttle with it.

here's a SS from it:

 

yea i played a demo of air deta force. That game was awesome. These types of games are really fun to play, cant wait

wow

 

Can't wait for that game.

 

Looks like they are going to have a stick & hat combo for it as well

this game is ridiculous

that looks bad ass

 

I really need to play the demo to get excited about this.

Graphically, the Ace Combat series has been stellar on all platforms (outside of the crappy bit map land scapes), but their missions and AI have been sub-par for years.

Let's hope #6 bucks the trend

 

screenshots in general look kick ass, BUT the city scapes piss me off. The textured city is shitty. especially since tehy did some buildings in 3d (textured cubes) and then didn't do others. honestly I don't mind the textured cube buildings since they don't needdetails on them, but come on.. don't do fucking textures on the GRIOUND for buildings. I would rather have a grass texture there than a fucking shitty roof shot of a building that isn't even modeled in 3d.

hopefully I won't be able to notice this when I actually play the game though.

their new mission setup sounds super sweet though.

 

damn that video was awesome!

 

Today, Namco Bandai Games announced that a playable demo of Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation will be made available on Xbox Live starting this week.

As per my previous post, I hope #6 bucks the trend of recent AC .

 

demo is up on Live. i'm no expert on flight sims but the demo was pretty cool!

 

I won't be able to play until Thurs at the earliest

How are the graphics, particularly the landscapes?

 

This and Halo3 will have me finally breaking down to buy a 360

 

Seems pretty slick, it sure is purdy anyway.

Perhaps people who have played ace combat before can tell me. When using a real flight yoke or joystick can you control all the axis of the plane. Playing with the controller it only really lets me go up down left and right, I don't think I have any control over the roll.

 

ya know, after playing blazing angels, other airplane game controls dont seem to be as intuitive.

 

Left and right controls roll.

Shoulder buttons control rudder/yaw.

Up and down controls pitch.

AC5 was fun with a controller. Of course, a stick/throttle combo would make the experience much more enjoyable.

 

Are they making it for ps3 too?
Ima be PISSED if they skip the ps3 with an ace combat game that has online. I love the series, and all I've wanted is to take my über flight skillz to online

 

I'm pissed about it too. I have all the Ace Combat games for PS2 and was planning on getting PS3 mainly for Ace Combat 6.

 

Oh well, at least we'll have gran turismo 5
That'll be 10x better than ace combat

 

Well, I tried the demo and I like it. The textures have improved, but could be much better. The planes are beautifully detailed and the action is very smooth.

Can't wait for the full version and some dog fighting action on Live!

 

Is there anyway to get an in-cockpit view on the demo?

 

The right analog stick... button toggles views.

 

Sweet. Thanks.

 

I don't know if you guys know this, but i have the EBgames price list of new releases and Ace Combat 6 w/ flightstick is $159.99

 

I have to say I am a little disappointed. I will still buy the game, but I guess I was hoping for more of an evolution in the series. It feels like Ace Combat 5.5 to me.

The graphics and textures look good and the missiles seem a little smarter, but overall the feeling is been there, done that

 

Well also I guess it's based on the no longer available Saitek X45 flightstick, It's replacement goes for around 110 dollars though, so I would only feel sort of ripped off at that price. 100 for the stick and 60 for the game that is.

 

has anyone picked it up yet?

i've been too busy playing Halo 3 to even think about it even though i have it preordered and paid for

 

my friend has the combo pack and it's the shi* flip up the trigger and it switches to oyur specail and it's armed. The online dog fights are ubber sweet. I'm gona pick up and xbox and this soon
