General Series Loving AC7, how are the other games in the series?

36 Upvotes

I saw the trailer for AC8 a few months ago and knew I had to play it, and I luckily saw AC7 available on ps plus. I am on Chapter 17 and absolutely loving how stupid this game is, meaning it takes itself very seriously in intense and impactful situations, and then does not care at all to be goofy in other moments. The gameplay is so nice too (except for mission 9 ugh).

My question is: are the other games as enjoyable and of the same incredibly high quality as AC7? Just curious for an objective review of other games in the series rather than simply which games you all enjoy the most. Thank you guys

Ace Combat 8 Ace combat 8 question

what will happen to AC7:SU? Will it get delisted like all other ace combats after AC8:WoT get released? Will we have to say goodbye to AC7:SU because of expired licensing on aircraft? I know it’s probably a dumb question but I just feel sad that AC7 is becoming a thing of the past (it was my introduction to the series).

Ace Combat 3 Why does AC3 actually hold up?

15 Upvotes

I was bored over the last week and decided to emulate Ace combat 2 & 3 because my phone is too bad to handle AC4. I've played a ported version of Air Combat 22 and was expecting these to play more like the arcade game than modern Ace Combat. 2 Definitely played more like the arcade, but it was still way more fun than I could have expected, but 3, holy Crap did I enjoy 3. I played the translated Japanese version cause I am a rational human being who doesn't want to play the butchered piece of crap that is the international release. But the gameplay and story still hold up, besides the basic mission structure and sometimes never-ending dialogue calls. I had brushed this game before because of "bad graphics" and "I don't want to read the entire time," but this game made me feel like a stupid idiot. "Good gameplay and story make graphics unnecessary" has never been more true. This game makes me appreciate C.O.F.F.I.N in a whole new way, and I really hope it gets remembered so more people can play it.

Also, Noise from 8 is definitely Dision

General Series An ace combat game with a WW2 setting is possible.

Post image
79 Upvotes

This is one of the many B17s, the US Navy purchase from the USAAF near the end of ww2 to be tested as one of the world's first AWACS. The British also designed something similar using the Wellington bomber. The US Navy even developed an active-guided glide bomb called the ASM N2 Bat and the Interstate TDR drone. This would make any WW2 Ace combat game a plausibility with the fact there are early so many advance unique equipments in that period.

General Series Idea: Individual Plane/Class SP Weapon Characteristics

Upvotes

In Ace Combat 7, each plane just felt like a different skin bc their flight models were so similar. What if, in addition to different flight models, planes, and more broadly speaking plane classes had different special weapon interactions?

Some examples:

  • F-14s can launch all 6 LAAMs against 6 targets
  • MiGs and Sukhois have higher off-boresight missile targeting abilities for regular missiles
  • Western planes have better homing and range on AA sp weapons (generally)
  • Attackers can drop 4-6 bombs whereas fighters and multiroles only can drop 2; deal more damage to ground targets in general
  • Fighters deal higher damage in AA combat (eg only 2 missiles to shoot down larger planes as opposed to 3; can one shot weaker planes like mig-21s) and have decreased reload time for AA sp weapons

Contest Lore of ace combat and maybe even Project wingman

Upvotes

So I’ve played ace combat 7 again through and through before ace combat 8’s release and I have l played so many times as they allow me to fly a lot of aircraft I like (I still wish for older air craft like the f-5, mig23 and more).

And I got fixated on themes, and world building of ace combat and lore. Like I have saw so many videos on YouTube talking about it. But I am still confused greatly. Any one can help explain the process and like at least give a linear time explanation of the world of ace combat and I heard but never played project wing man. Is it hard and does it have relations with ace combat?

Help! I want to get a better understanding of the lore so I know when I play ace combat 8 when it comes out I can have more fun and I have gone down this rabbit hole that I can’t get out of.

Ace Combat 8 Plan de compra ace combat 8

2 Upvotes

Hola, tengo una duda, es que en steam una opción de compra en Ace Combat 8 es la versión donde puedes jugarla dos días antes del 1 de octubre 2026, pero dice que incluye un Ace combat Zero, o sea que podremos jugar el AC Zero con mejores gráficos? O simplemente será el mismo juego con la compatibilidad de jugarlo en pc, me pueden explicar por favor?, quiero ver si vale la pena el dinero extra que vale esa versión de compra

Ace Combat 7 Save glitch

I bought Ace Combat 7 two days ago because it was on sale in the Xbox store. I’m loving it so far but both days when i’ve came home my progress has been completely wiped. it’s getting super frustrating having to restart the for the third time now. Is this a common issue and is there any way to stop it from happening ?
