Post some VR impressions if possible. I'm interested in the sense of speed, control, length. I'm one of those gamers that sense of speed does not translate on a TV or monitor hardly at all, but in VR its glorious if done right.
there is a demo of VR section on Japanese PSN store right now. I don't know how much of the VR section is accessible in the demo though.
I would have loved for them to package the VR mode separately for $20 or something.
that and weather hazard missions(extreme winds in a canyon like area, lightning storm that can hit and disable certain instruments like HUD and radar)
Yeah, it was the following Ace Combat 6 trailer that caught my eye for that reason but for some reason I never followed through (maybe it was not being able to get one of the flight stick bundles at the time that hurt my interest).
It's melodramatic as can be, but there's just something there that really clicks with me.

Yup, if there is something that the Ace Combat games are very good at, it's stroking the player's ego, hahaha. It's always a blast to see the world/characters react to your PC that grows from an unknown pilot to an overwhelming presence that awes your comrades and terrifies your enemies. 4, 5, and 0 were all masterclass at this.
Same here actually. I'm buying it primarily for VR especially the free flight mode.
Yep. If it has HALF the 3D presence and sense of speed that Wipeout VR has, I will be playing free flight for a long time.
Seems this might be the only way to get AC5 is to preorder AC7. Era thread on it.
Can you comment on the sense of speed? Everyone I've heard said it looks amazing but no comment on speed.
I assume you have PS4 and PSVR already. The VR demo on Japanese store has English voice/text support and it's easy to make Japanese PSN account (I am sure there are many guides on the internet and youtube) so maybe you can check that out.
Very very fast.
Especially when you fly low or enemy flying toward you and pass by closely, sight and sound is superb.
Thanks, I think I'll wait and see if my region gets a demo first. If not, I'll go through that.
Even the "bad" games in the series are good.
If you preordered for PS4 you also get the best in the series at least
It's why I still go physical for launch day games.
AUD$69 from Amazon, or AUD$79 from JB Hifi:

You don't get the theme, but the theme doesn't seem that amazing anyway.
So looking forward to this. I got a HOTAS stick during Christmas 2017 in anticipation of the 2018 Q1 release and now... over a year later, here we finally are. AC7, HOTAS stick and VR, I'm really looking forward to Friday, just waiting for the pre-load countdown to finish. Is it safe to assume that AC5 will also use a HOTAS stick?
In VR.
Only played one level of none VR, learn the control, jump to VR, never look back.
So I watched the opening cutscene/intro scene that was released
And I'm surprised by how great the voice acting is. So far, I've tended to play the Yakuza games with subtitles, but the English voice acting in that cutscene is really good, that I might play AC7 in English instead of Japanese. Like better than most games outside of specifically narrative-focused ones IMO.
Is that a good barometer for the voice acting and cutscene direction (also really well done) for these games as a whole?

This is one of the few Japanese games where I think I prefer English voice over Japanese. This, Resident Evil and DMC are the only ones top of my head that I prefer English voice.
You kinda need to honestly. Spend one second looking away at some subtitles and you can be nosediving into the ocean.
Does anyone have a text list of all of the aircraft in the game? It would be great to get it chucked into the OP too if someone does.
First time player here and only completed two missions so far.
It's fun.
Once you get your plane near the ground you can feel the speed better.
I had one defining moment that I shot down an enemy plane right in front of me (one more second and we would probably crash) and managed avoided the debris.
Soon after that I was, again, back into the larger fight planning who to take on next, how to tail them and so on. A lot more thinking is involved than I initially would have thought.
I think I will really like this one.
EDIT: Also, best sound design for 2019. No doubt about it.
My PS4 was flying so high that you really think you're inside a plane.

Funny enough Ace Combat uses a lot of the Resident Evil cast mainstays.
Wesker was a side character in that past, now is the scientist guy in 7,
iconic RE4 Leon was the protagonist of Assault Horizon
RE6 era leon was the narrator character of Ace Combat 5
Chris Redfield was an AWACS tech
etc
Hoping someone can help me out.. Is the Deluxe edition is worth it? From the PSN Store Pages, when comparing the deluxe to the regular, I could only see that you get.. emblems, in the deluxe edition? There are "six additional content packs" that the deluxe edition says it offers, but none of them are revealed on the store page, and the season pass that's referenced by the deluxe edition doesn't seem to be on PSN either?
Also: Do we have any impressions of performance on PS4 Pro? Debating on pulling the trigger tmrw instead of waiting til the 31st for pc.

That's great to hear. Really excited to play this
Oh cool, I was wondering if that was a factor
So when are we getting Idol M@ster planes?For any newcomers wondering about the other preorder items besides AC5 or AC6
Still waiting on the game to arrive but the PS4 FlightStick just arrived.
I'm sure some of this is common sense to anyone who owns a recent Hori HOTAS products, but per the back of the box:
I'm sure some of this is common sense to anyone who owns a recent Hori HOTAS products, but per the back of the box:
- PS4, PS3, PC natively supported out of the box
- Specifically mentions Windows 10 / 8.1 / 8 / 7
- PS2 and PSone brandnames are also mentioned but I can't read japanese so no idea if they are mentioned to say "not supported" (which is a bit overkill) or if you really could reuse it on PS2 (which has USB) for example.
- PS4/PS3 do list minimum required firmwares (4.73/2.80) for whatever reason.
