Rumor: Ace Combat 6 Flying to PS3 In 2008?

This rumor comes from Playstation 3 magazine PSM3. PSM3 is part on online gaming website CVG.

In their feature "2008 year of the ps3" I noticed something interesting.

Among the games listed one poped out the most, Ace Combat 6 with this written below:

"Japan's favourite dogfighting series returns with a new made-up war, a brace of superweapons, online co-op and a custom controller for the superfans."

Could this be a miss print even though there is a picture and writting to go with it or do they know something that we don't and that Namco will be annoucing this for the PS3 soon.

Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

its obvious that Ace combat will come soon to the PS3 wether its 6 or 7, but the actual question is, is it a good port or a bad port?

no, if im correct the site only listed Katamari and Eternal Sonata, not Ace Combat.

but seriously who didnt see this coming? Ace Combat was always a PS series, its probably timed exclusive.

I personally hope it follows Ridge Racer style where 360 gets Ridge Racer 6 and PS3 gets Ridge Racer 7. I played AC6 on the 360 and while the gameplay was fun, I didn't like the story that much.

Please don't make number 6 for PS3.
I played it on my 360 and it was awful. The graphics were so undetailed. If they're gonna make one it should be a new one with true next gen graphics.

Ace Combat 6 was first announced as a multiplatform title, then became a timed exclusive for the 360. Then the PS3 version just went off the radar, and now it's back again.

General Pinky, sigh. An Ace Combat is coming to the PS3. You cannot deny that. Ace Combat 6 sales were not to snuff on the 360 to begin with. This article is probably a typo, but an Ace Combat will come out on the PS3.

But I wont be interested.

I never really got into flying/airplane games as it was. Warhawk was my first, and last.

I'm sure this is good news for the fans of the series though. If it's true.

Though this was mentioned last year that Ace Combat 6 was a timed exclusive, it should be no surprise that the Playstation 3 gets another Xbox 360 hand me down.

i thought it was the other way around......GTA4, DMC4, Ace Combat, Resident Evil.....i didn't know those were originally Xbox titles.

you should just be happy you get SOME playstation games and keep your mouth shut. you make yourself sound foolish.

With the exception of Devil May Cry 4,none of those games have been released and they will be released at the same time as Xbox 360. They certainly can't be handed down if they are released as the same time. However if you are referring to the franchises starting life on a Playstation system, you are only halfway right. Because most of you Playstation fans aren't real gamers and have no clue as to the origins of the games made popular by Playstation. I'll educate you. Grand Theft Auto started life on the PC and Not Playstation. Did you think that GTAIII was the first one? Grand Theft Auto Part one and Two were later ported to Dreamcast and Playstation. Resident Evil has always been a multi platform game. It was also released on Sega Saturn and PC. Tomb Raider was also Multi platform but was made popular by Playstation. Metal Gear started life on a computer released in Japan called MSX2 home computer. It was later Ported to the NES. Final Fantasy started Life on the NES. Many of you Playstation Fans are under the illusion that Sony brought you all those franchises you enjoy but the truth is that most of the games you love on your Playstation were brought to you by Third party supporters such as Konami, Namco or Capcom. Had another system been popular during that time frame, those games would have still been released but on another system.

When I refer to the Playstation 3 getting Xbox 360 Hand Me Downs, I'm talking about games (not Franchises)that have already been released on Xbox 360, that are well past their financial viability, after months or years are now being ported or handed down to Playstation 3.

However you do have a valid argument if you want to say that franchises are being handed down to Xbox 360. Watch your words because a large percentage of the Franchises made popular on Playstation actually started life during the PC or the 8 and 16-bit era.

Pretty obvious. AC6 sales weren't that great to begin with, much like Eternal Sonata/Trusty Bell. I just hope they make Ace Combat 7 with a much more sci-fi story rather than port AC6. PS3 owners aren't known for liking one year old ports. AC6 had great gameplay and some pretty nice visuals, but I didn't really like the story in the game. But in all honesty, while an AC is coming to the PS3, I believe this is a typo on PSM3's part.

I don't really care if its a port or not. I want it, if possible in 1080p. Do AC6 or a new one. Doesn't matter. Just make it happen, Bandai.

They would be pretty stupid not to port or make a Ace combat for PS3 considering how popular the series is in Japan and now that PS3 is gaining more ground now.

Sound good i always wanted to buy this.. im a big fan of air combat games but not many can deliver this gen.. crimson skies cannD, Lair got terrible reviews, Starfox (my fav) is not made yet, rogue squadron MIA.. This game going to PS3 would cure my hunger for an air combat game.. until Starfox for Wii comes out..

isn't as bad as people think it is. If you can make it to the second or third level, you should have the controls down, if not, perhaps you've got down? either way its a good game that should AT LEAST be rented by PS3 owners in search of something fun and original.

14 - I would say no
cause Ken Kutaragi works for Namco^^
Oh i must say that sony/namco has a Jointventure and Ken Kutaragi is the Chief of that, they make only PS3 games and i Think that his Company will show something for PS3 too (and i Believe that Ken Kutaragi works for middleware for PS3)
I must look what his company called

It is called Cellius. And technically, Ken Kutaragi works for both Namco and Sony. They were supposed to show off what they were doing this year... Also, as a side note, I find it interesting that even though Bandai Namco and Sony are joint venturing this company, last year, Bandai Namco made two of their lead franchises (Ace Combat and Katamari) 360 exclusive. Seems to kind of conflict with the mission statement of Cellius("To take away market share of games from Microsoft and Nintendo"). Really, really odd IMO.

17 - No news here
At least not to me, wasn't AC6 already confirmed long long ago as a timed exclusive? I've been avoiding buying the 360 version for just that reason so if I'm wrong I'm going to wait out this "rumor" before jumping on the 360 version.

We seen what AC6 did for the xbox360 in Japan for the first couple of weeks. When this Comes out for the PS3 it's going to move systems for month to come. Got to say the Japanese love their AC a lot.

PS3 + AC6 = Big Win in Japan!

20 - That's pretty cool, and expected.
Quite a few 360 exclusives have gone multiplatform lately, and I'll probably try to check this one out since I loved Ace Combat 4. Hopefully they improve the graphics though. I saw the demo kiosk for this game, and it while the clouds and atmosphere looked great, the city still reminded me of the PS2 series. Hopefully they do what they did with Lost Planet and actually upgrade some of the geometry.

I prefer using PS controller to handle flying the plane. it will be awesome if SIXAXIS motion will be supported.

Yes, motion controller could work. I just got Blazing Angels 2 recently, and it works well there (not so much in the first version). The other title with good motion flight control is Lair, but we know how that ended. I don't like it in Warhawk, but it should work great with AceCombat. I'd be curious how that arcade stick would work, which was bundled with the 360 version, once.

23 - So what is new?
It was always expected that it would be a timed exclusive. Due to poor sales, they will most probably skip to version 7.

Come on... bring it on.

24.2 - It's an arcade game that's
built like a simulator. You get all the fancy features that come with flying a plane, but with none of the hassle. It's pretty sweet dude, you should download the demo and try it out.

Darkiewonder - 674 days 19 hours ago
25 - Most likely true
When have any of the NB games that went 360 "Exclusive" stay exclusive?

It'll most likely be Ace Combat 6.5. Get the game the 360 have + all the DLC as well extra missions.
