Ace Combat series: I love and I hate...

[F-ZeroOne]

Finally got the Typhoon - bloomin' heck, its a bit quick is the Typhoon! Go down low and its like a little pointy rocket ship with wings. I found myself whizzing by targets before I had time to actually shoot them...

Now you're going to have to get a Razgriz emblem for your beret - Ace Combat is coming to your iPhone:

I imagine that sales of Top Gun soundtracks will increase by several thousand percent when this is released.

FFS, another cool thing out for the iPhone. I can't afford one and if I could I bet it'd end up winding me up perpetually.

Looks slick though.

Well, if its anything like the other flight games on my iPod, you can emulate the effect by holding your thumb and middle fingers together to form a square and then waving your arms around whilst yelling "Fox Three! Fox Three! I can't shake him! I can't shake him! Tell ThunderHead I love hi - ARRGGGHHH!"

Still the best music in video games. Helicopters are now included. Gameplay changes likely to be... causing opinions. Unrequited love affair with an AWACs unconfirmed at this time

Eurogamer has the first detailed preview I've seen, plus a new trailer:

Glad that they're trying a few things to try and break the gameplay out of the (still very enjoyable) rut the series was beginning to plough. Upset that the deliciously bonkers alternate world ("The Sidereal World") background has been dropped. We already have enough games where serious people say serious things in serious Russian accents and not enough where you fight people called Solo Wing Pixy.

I abandoned God and shook hands with the Devil [1] in order to raise this thread from the grave. Also, need to buy a PS4 - note that this will be VR compatable...

"Higher. Faster... "

That looks fantastic. I hope the PSVR content is decent.

Hey, gives me time to decide whether to get the XBox version (so I can pretend I'm Isamu Alva Dyson with my friends) or the PC version (so I can use the flightstick thats been gathering dust since I found out landing a Cobra Mk. III is really, really hard).

[F-ZeroOne]

Really wish I had a PS4...

Must admit I wouldn't be that interested if it wasn't for the VR.....but man the VR looks great.
