remake or remaster from Ace Combat 5 for PC ? ;=)

[Commander Jonathan Archer]

Will we ever see a "remake or remaster" from Ace Combat 5 for PC ?
Really love this Game *.* and still play it sometimes on PS2 ( was one of my first Games as Kid ).
Really good Campaign and good Music / Synchro.
Feels really that you are in a Jet ;p

pcsx2 is your answer

edit: pcsx2 is your friend if you want to play the OG games in a super crisp 60fps and with the help of the resolution multiplyer in the settings and a de-interlacing mod you can get pretty good visual im talking 8k if you so desired and if you pc could handle it. i would suggest watching a youtube video or two on how to setup pcsx2 for ace combat tho. since its default settings kinda make most ace combat games look jank

this game was by far and still is the best game in this series. the active storyline that directly affects your pilot was one of the most inclusive and unique takes for the single-player campaign. and is exactly what I wanted in a game. a story about the world around you where the story doesn't directly affect you is not a story worth telling. that's like giving a prologue that has nothing to do with the story. and many of the ace combat games before and after the unsung war were like this including 7. however 5 did a great job not making that mistake.

buying AC7 back in the day depending on the console nets you either AC5 in hi-res 1080P (guess which console this is) and or AC6 which is "crappier" attempt at hi-ressing

so yes... you had to buy AC7 on pre-order on the PS4 to get "remaster" of AC5 people speculate it was built from the ground up for the PS4 unlike AC6

how so?
blaze is just as faceless as every single other player character in the series, bar bishop, and has as much effect on how the story plays out, which is to say "none"
if you mean in the sense that the entire story essentially boils down to you and your squadron following in the footsteps of a prophecy, as much as you can suggest that it's a conceit unique to that particular ace combat title, it would be considered an extremely derivative trope by wider literary standards

given that entire genres - some of which are fairly popular and form the basis for, say, daytime television soap operas - are predicated on the notion of 'slice-of-life' storytelling, this isn't an assertion that you can make objectively
in the context of ace combat specifically... this is only true of the first-generation games; from shattered skies onward, namco became enamoured with the idea of having every character with a speaking role either namedrop your pilot in abject dread, or fellate them at every possible opportunity

the only way i can reconcile your point with this series is if you mean to say that you don't have an effect on how the story progresses in the same way that 5 does, which is patently untrue so long as skies of deception exists
in fact, ace combat X took that mechanic and, arguably, did it better than 5 did

for the sake of brevity, i'm not going to delve into why, but i don't think that's a very good analogy

did it?
from a storytelling perspective maybe, though i would argue that very few of the titles in the series have early missions that are as totally and completely divested from their respective plotlines as you purport them to be, save maybe AC22
from a gameplay perspective, however, i'd cite AC5 as having the single worst prologue of any modern ace combat title, simply by way of forcing the F-5 upon you for three whole missions, even in NG+

AC5 a ♥♥♥♥. Forced walking (flying?) sections suck. I do not want to spend 2 minutes every mission flying in a straight line listening to characters talk. I do not want to have half the missions in the game be flying in a circle shooting a small amount of respawning enemies while other characters talk. It's bad. It's a bad game.
Also, the story that so many people say is so great actually sucks. It's dumb and full of terrible plot devices and twists that make no sense, and the characters are nearly all terrible. The game sucks.
Oh yeah, also, the plane grind is terrible too. Because AC5 didn't have enough bad ideas already so of course they had to throw in another one.

Would be nice if they just put all the old AC games into this game engine. Sell them as DLC expansions.
