Namco Bandai has announced Ace Combat Infinity, an all-new download-only entry in the flight combat series releasing exclusively on PlayStation 3 on September 25, 2013.
After four years of pitched online aerial battles, Ace Combat Infinity's live servers have been shut down by Bandai Namco.
Never played Ace Combat Infinity online because it seemed as though I had to buy things like fuel, I could have been wrong about that, but decided not to get into the game. Always been a fan of Ace Combat since Ace Combat2, favorite being Ace Combat5 then 4 then zero. Drawing a blank right now on Ace Combat3.
Saw an article last week stating that Ace Combat4,5 and zero are being considered for remasters or remakes for the current generation. The article was more of a job listing, so it may take a while to come to fruition if ever. Here's hoping that it does happen.
Never got into this tried but was turned off by the nonsense of MT involved with it. Cant wait for the new VR supported new game though.
Heart skipped a beat when I first read the headline. Initially thought it was talking about the latest AC in development (Skies Unknown).
A few days before PlayStation Experience, DualShockers reported on a leak of the announcement of Ace Combat 7 at the event, thanks to eagle-eyed Japanese dataminers that found out information about a related challenge in Ace Combat Infinity. The leak proved accurate afterwards, and the rest is history.
Starting today, you can actually take part in that challenge, and win four emblems themed after Ace Combt 7, with an event running until January 19th in Ace Combat Infinity.
Sounds like they are hoping to get some extra money from AC Infinity. They want people to start playing their free-to-play game so u can try earning emblems for a game that has no release date. More than likely you will have to spend money on fuel trying to earn those emblems, making Namco/Bandai extra coin. No thank you i will just wait for AC7 to release and be satisfied, I dont need any special emblems that Im not even going to notice as I fly.
A while ago, Ace Combat Producer Kazutoki Kono mentioned in an interview that a current generation Ace Combat game was being considered, and we might finally see the results at PlayStation Experience.
Some eagle-eyed Japanese fans datamined the files of the latest update of Ace Combat Infinity and discovered references to a very interesting event revealing the announcement of Ace Combat 7.
Can't wait to see this reveal next weekend at PSX live myself if indeed true. Hopefully a playable demo will be there. One now my favorite Namco series.
I'd be surprised to see Ace go exclusive, but I wouldn't be surprised if Sony threw some weight behind the publishing and developing of it. Ace is one of the few games I thought would fit VR perfectly since it became big news.
Perfect,
Looks like a re-telling of ac4, was that Stonehenge.
Glad to see the series go back to its roots.
Huge fan, Day one download for me. Glad Namco decided to bring it back, hopefully it will be more like the original games on PS2 rather than the latest installment.
Is this Strangerreal? If not, mehh....
Yessssss!
wow. Ps3 is still announcing new exclusives.
how do some people still not get that PlayStation is the brand that just keeps on giving
