The Other Ace Combat Games(4, 5, and 0)

[ConeHead]

(Note I know I have low hours on pc but I was mainly playing it on console before getting it here)

A few months ago I made a comment on social media about enjoying this game a lot which in return left me a lot of replies telling me to play the older games. I was mainly told to play 4, 5, and 0 but how would I go about playing them? Is there a emulator for these older Ace games?

wouldn't it be cool if they remastered those games as dlc for this game

As DLC...? What, no, that would require people to buy a game they might not want just to play another.

I'd honestly also recommend ACX: Skies of Deception. Sure it's a PSP game, but if you can get your hands on it, it very much follows the Zero gameplay formula (minus some things) and while the story might be on the lighter side, the gameplay is definetly there.

Project Aces wants to do it, BUT Bandai/Namco likely does not want to allocate resources to it because they fear not getting an adequate return for their investment. We know Project Aces is willing because of the preorder bonuses for Xbox/Playstation consoles include remastered games. Ace Combat 5 is already done, now just AC4 and Zero. Bandai/Namco will likely give the go ahead when enough demand and support is shown from the Ace Combat fanbase OR maybe before they release Ace Combat 8

If the kind of "remaster" we're talking about here is just increased resolution like was the case with 5 then no way I'm buying any "remastered" game. Even Kono himself said 5 wouldn't be a proper remaster before releasing.

Watched a channel on YT playing it and it looks really good for a PSP. If I had one back in the day I wouldve became an Ace fan sooner

Like I said before its a resource issue for Bandai/Namco.They must be made absolutely sure that they will get a profit from the remaster of those games.All that needs to be done is the community make the issue popular enough for Bandai/Namco to see an opportunity and give the go ahead to Project Aces

Absolutely. Like I said, it's basically somewhat slimmer version of Zero, and even then it has a bunch of planes to unlock. The D-pad rudder takes a bit of getting used to, but the final boss is very satisfying imo.

You oughtta just play the JP version of 3 now that there's an english translation for it.
I never see anyone talk about how ambitious and fantastic that game is.

Why no one mentions the original trilogy? ElectroSphere is by far the best Ace Combat game ever created. Ace Combat 2 is awesome too but the story is not very awesome.

I love electrosphere. I love it so much I even ordered the soundtrack for it from Japan. I haven't played the fan translation yet. I guess I should. But I have no idea how to make it work...

Dude it's like the ghost in the shell of ace combat games lol. It's fantastic.
I still cannot believe we never got it localised properly, it would have popped off.

Now, let me help you out with how to patch it;

Its sales were lackluster even in Japan. Most of the fanbase is not interested in that kind of game, they want 04, 05 and Zero, those are the titles that sold the most, that's why 07 resembles them so much and even is directly connected to them.
