If that was a HD Remake of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War, I would be all over it. But Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation, just wasn't all that great. All that fucking "fly with the angels" nonsense. AC 5 had a pretty good story told through the eyes of a journalist. It was pretty damned fresh and original.

Little bit of trivia, I wrote the strategy guide for Ace Combat 5. My name isn’t on the book because of some problems I had with the publisher, but that’s my content in the entire book.

But... you ARE getting "Ace Combat 5"! Unless you want to play AC7 on the Xbox of course, but who in his right mind would do that?

All kidding aside (personally, I loved AC6 on the 360, despite the "dance with an angel, mom/mister" shit), I'm kinda glad Ace Combat is returning to the PlayStation. And, no, "Assault Horizon" doesn't count.

Actually its Ace combat 6 on playstation. 5 was released on ps2 along with 0 within like a year.

Someone made mention of the going with angels but that was theme through 4-5 and zero but might have been replaced with birds or a shooting star or some such.

"Fly with the angels" was always something present in Ace Combat, but became a mother fucking annoyance in 6 because everyone used that damn phrase in every fucking cutscene. So by the end of the game, I was tired of hearing that phrase. Much like I am going to be tired of everyone referring to the main protagonist as the "tail with the three stripes".

As for Ace Combat 7, I know this is sacrilege, but I am actually planning on getting it on PC. Unless I hear the port is horrible and my experience would be better off on console, then I will go with the PS4 version. So hurry up reviews, I need to know what platform to get my Ace Combat fix from!

looks like Ps4 gets Ace combat 5

Well, the game is developed in Unreal Engine (which is probably the reason I don't like the visuals all that much), so you should be safe on PC. I'm sure to get the PS4 version, because I bought a PSVR set for the single purpose of playing this game*. I just hope the pixels don't blind me...

*) That was shortly after they delayed it from 2017 to 2018, but a looong time before the move to 2019...

That is one of the benefits of still having an active GameFly subscription: I can always rent the PS4 version to play the PSVR missions, assuming they do not ultimately also support Oculus.
