I noticed it’s backwards compatible on Xbox One, so I’m tempted to play it there, but obviously all my saves are on the ol’ 360, and I’d like to use the Nosferatu again sooner rather than later (I have zero memory of what it took to unlock) and just swat everything down...

AC6 still is the best at having grand scale battles, but the AC7 DLC was pretty on par with it, and I would love to see the next mainline game continue that trend. And man, I can't even imagine playing this series and not embracing the anime.

Yeah AC6 has some killer missions that I remember much more fondly than the vanilla AC7 missions despite AC7 generally playing better overall imo. The AC7 DLC missions are, of course, in a league of their own. But yeah play AC6 if you can, laugh at the catchphrase, and then fly through the aigaion.

The massive battles in AC6 were why I spent more time playing it than any other game in the series, despite sinking my teeth into the games way back with AC2. I rented 3 for a weekend after it came out, and never bothered with it again... not because of the neutered story in the U.S. version, but because I didn't like the sci-fi spaceship planes. Went back to playing 2. I can enjoy the cheesy anime melodrama they put into the series, I just wish it was less Macross and more Area 88. I just don't care for any of the fictional jets. I'm glad you'll all have fun playing with ADMMs again, but they aren't my cup of tea. Hobo on Fire fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Aug 30, 2020 |

I just did a quick run through the first mission and the Nosferatu missile spam remains fun. Probably gonna replay the whole campaign now. I think all my save dates were from 2007.  Only downside is I didn't have any of the DLC, and you can't get any of it anymore for some reason. I think it was just skins anyway, and I'll probably spend most of my time using the Nosferatu anyway.

Star Wars isn’t anime enough. How about Star Fox, though? That’d probably be great for their brand of gritty-cheese melodrama, and would give them tons of latitude for making 3D levels and new super weapons.

Namco pulled the DLC line off of Xbox Marketplace in early 2017 for... basically no reason. While skins were the majority of the content, this also included the Ace of Aces special missions which were turbo difficult. You can pirate the DLC from various places, but to actually run it you need a hardmoded Xbox 360 and a program like Horizon and a bunch of other super sketchy steps to the point where it's barely worth the effort.

the only part of the 'let's just remix the existing stuff but harder' DLC for 6 that I remember an absolutely astounding amount of antiaircraft fire coming off a carrier battle group or something? It was genuinely difficult to get in close and hit them, which was unlike more or less everything else in 6. the DLC was extremely disappointing overall but that part was memorable

My 360 saves were on a360 that got stolen so now you can't transfer saves or save when playing on the xbox1 for my gt. Offline saves only. Apparently xbl can't just delete the saves that are pending to unstick everything either and couldn't get any of the support tickets to do anything. Edit according to the community support forums when i was screwing with it sometimes the saves just get locked in tending upload and there's nothing you can do Stravag fucked around with this message at 00:41 on Aug 31, 2020 |

I just played a game of TDM during which the final score was ~120k to...887. I got 887 points by hitting the enemy with a single machine gun round, and also a missile. I got downed approximately a dozen times, 10 of which were by machine gun. How in the hell is someone killing me so many times with a machine gun? I'm doing literally everything I can to get out of his way, but nothing worked. He was an absolute surgeon. I'm guessing he's got....thousands upon thousands of hours in Ace Combat games.

If you can hit him consistently with the railgun he goes down super fast.

One thing that I enjoyed from AC6 that isn't present in AC7 is when allies killed an enemy it still gave you points ( I think not as much as if you killed it) it's very annoying in AC7 when you're dogfighting a plane and your ally gets the kill on it and you get no points

Might be of interest to some folks here, but SuperOstritch, the dude behind the Ace Combat X HD Texture Pack has just released the Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy + HD Texture Pack, which is a full HD upscale of the textures of the 3DS remake of Ace Combat 2, which is now allegedly playable and stable on the 3DS emulator Citra. Citra's still a work in progress, especially when it comes to AHL (the most recent build I played it with suffered crazy slowdown once there were more than 10 enemies on the screen, but it seems to be getting better each iteration, very slowly), but if you're at all interested in the experiment, it's definitely worth it. The pack he did for ACX (and Joint Assault, for that matter) was really well done.

Yeah, replaying AC6 I was surprised that it was a lot sleeker than I remember. Also, wingman being helpful! I honestly can’t remember the wingmen or allies in AC7 ever doing all that much for me or ever taking a kill like someone else mentioned, where as in 6 it’s awesome to see them all swarming in on a bunch of targets... Or me and Shamrock both firing ADMM’s at once.

When Kono talked about size in the video, he was talking about specifically the model size in game going from 6 (larger models) to 7 (smaller models). Not the (fictional) mechanical dimensions of the aircraft. At least, I think.
