Do y'all think they'll tease something about AC8? I think they'll definitely say something on the anniversary date but who knows.

Nope. Bamco only cares about Tekken.

I heard good things about AC4, AC5 and Zero, only ever played AC7 myself.
Getting remakes/remasters of those would be cool

How do I get the 3rd Anniversary update? Includes the F-22? I have and enjoy AC7. Thanks and cheers!

Although unlikely, this could attract many new gamers to the ace combat franchise. Im really up for the remasters

I don't think the game is ready yet. I don't believe it will be released before 2026. I think AC 8 will deliver an experience that won't fall short of AC 7. And that would require intense development work. For it to be as flawless as AC 7 was at launch, it needs to go through extensive testing. I'm eagerly looking forward to AC 8, but I don't want it to feel rushed either. I trust Project Aces. I hope we get to experience AC 8 as soon as possible. I'm really curious about what awaits us there.

Idk AC 7 was garbage... The story felt like there was serious infighting in the writing team and dev team, like they didn't know where they wanted to take the story..

You have 4 stories going on at once, and none of them really amount to anything specific.

You have the "Scrap Queen" which is utterly worthless of a story that takes up pointless time, and she was supposed to have more of an impact story wise giving insight into who this mysterious hero is, but then they scrap that idea and decide that isn't a good angle, and shuffle you off into the usual expected "you're part of the military now"

You have the Princess angle, which also is like.. really amounts to a huge nothing burger... You get a few tid bits of her personality, and the fact she was pushing the war, but not really any closure, or even opening of why, or how, and her story gets shoe inned into the Mastery Ace pilot.

You have, what I would say is the best part of the whole game.. when the satelites go out, and the whole world is pushed into chaos, which really pushes the whole "skies unknown" Which is where the story should of started imo.. Which would of made FAR more sense for Belka... Make a completely chaotic world, where you can dominate everything with your AI drones, take over the few remaining satellites, and the story revolves around trying to figure out who the real enemy is, whats going, and pushes that whole "what are borders" thing that AC 6, and even 7 push quite frequently.

Instead we get a huge nothing burger of a story, where you got multiple little stories that amount to absolutely nothing, and the obvious belka bad guy at the end, that everyone saw coming a mile away.

Then you have the awful gameplay.. MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE MISSLE MISSILE MISSILE MISSILE... with drones that you can only shoot down when they literally allow you too, which cheapens the whole experience.

Whoel game is garbage from top to bottom and I can't fathom why this game has the high marks it does.

dropping into my own thread to say that it's a little under 2 months until the anniversary
