Well, I'm loving sold on AC7. What are the odds that they're remastering the originals in a big collection and bringing them to PC?

Insert name here posted:The hearsay is that the plane rights thing stop the older games from getting a re-release where they receive money for it, but they can give away copies for "free" which is why if you pre-ordered on the PS4 you got a AC5 port and on the XBone you got AC6. Dunno how true it is but I know gun licenses in games are super weird about stuff so it wouldn't surprise me if plane licenses were the same.

It’s really a shame too because while the PS2 Ace Combat games are simpler in a lot of ways there’s some real good stuff in each game. See the aforementioned plane jousting.

It's also the reason Afterburner Climax was taken off the digital stores.

Like surely they could get away with something spookily similar called an X-69 SKYSNAKE developed with advanced metal gear tech the boffins upstairs have been keeping under wraps and people would just be all "hell yeah" and they wouldn't have to deal with licencing or the military industrial complex complaining about how backflipping planes misrepresent their product like it's Gran Turismo or whatever I haven't played an AC so maybe the whole thing is real world but gone real OTT? I get that, but if they can't even publish old games because of this kind of stuff it seems like if any series could just wing it  with their own designs it would be this one

Ace Combat games love to play everything super straight, with real-world jets, realistic HUDs and radio chatter, new nations with old grudges and familiar geo-politics, all so when one country drops a space station the size of San Diego on another and you have to fly inside it and blow it up over the ocean it feels more like a climactic movie moment than some dumb fanfic.

i think the one time i poked my head into this forum's proper ace combat thread there was a guy in there extolling the virtues of the f-35 supergrover which is definitely NOT a trillion dollar piece of worthless poo poo that can't fly in the rain and DEFINITELY does not reboot all its computer systems when crossing the international date line and CERTAINLY isn't glued together with epoxy that disintegrates under normal operating strain and temperatures and ABSOLUTELY does not suffocate pilots when it feels like it, and all of the above is just what MISINFORMED LIBERAL NAYSAYERS opposed to MILITARY SUPERIORITY claim are problems, is all you need to know

They did do an ace combat with fake jets set in the future and it was pretty cool so I wouldn't mind if they did another.

It’s worked for months and all of a sudden Steam is resetting my desktop controller configuration to be completely blank and says: DISABLED Modified by you, based on ScottD’s configuration I use my Xbox controller as my mouse to select games and programs and it completely wipes the profile now as soon as I’m done changing the default again. No clue who ScottD is or how to change it back and make it stick.

How you fight it is a spoiler, though. It's kind of a big deal within the game. But if it convinces people to give the game a try, all the better - the whole mission is something else. Grab the DLC while you're at it because the extra missions are also peak Ace Combat which gives me great hope for AC8. I gave Taur a try and while the idea for the tower defense is cool and the core mechanics are interesting, there's really not much else to it to justify the high price point. You will just very slowly build up your tower until the boss appears however many missions in and maybe you'll win, maybe not. Imagine playing X-Morph and every mission is one wave long and you have to organize your defense in the middle of fighting. If you miscalculate or the enemies are surprisingly too strong, then you lose all the invested resources, so it'll be rather easy to get into a death spiral.

I dont think AC7 or whatever is going to get pulled because of rights situations- the games they cant sell are the PS2 era ones, where the idea of selling your game with licensed stuff down the road wasn't something to consider. Think about all the shows that dont have the original soundtracks on Netflix/Hulu because streaming rights weren't part of the contract back when the content was first licensed... because streaming didn't exist back then. I don't know what the licensing agreements are now vs then but there's definitely a lot of stuff from back then that can't be sold now. It's much easier to change the soundtrack on a remaster than go through and change all the planes. Blattdorf posted:
I just played half an hour of this and was going to post basically exactly this. It's almost my cup of tea- I love setting up my towers, but building a maze for creeps bores me and usually turns me off of later TD stuff. The actual levels are lacking. I had some air units as a defender and in one mission they all died before the enemies showed up when they crashed into poo poo nonstop. I'm gonna refund it and if they patch it and put it on sale for ten bux or less, I may rebuy it, but it's a bit rear end at the moment. You do get 100 percent resources back for destroyed towers, though, per the tooltip. Never seen it in action, as even picking the hard missions none of my towers died, just some of the units they controlled.

Team Ladybug, the folks who made that metroidvania Touhou: Luna Nights, are working on a Castlevania: SotN clone based on, of all things, 90s anime Record of Lodoss War. https://www.gematsu.com/2020/02/tea...am-early-access It's going up for early access on Steam on March 12th for ~$12 US, and is blatantly a ripoff but looks pretty sweet. I never played Luna Nights but the speedrun I saw at GDQ looked pretty clean and cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdmKbXx6gtU
