Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown just posted its biggest UK launch.
The Bandai Namco flight game debuts at No.2 in the UK physical charts. It's the first game in the series since 2014's Ace Combat Infinity. The franchise debuted in 1995.
The game was most popular on PS4, with 76 per cent of sales coming on Sony's platform. The PS4 version features an added VR mode.
Despite its impressive start, the title couldn't topple New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe from No.1. The Nintendo Switch game retains its top position despite a 43 per cent drop in sales week-on-week.
VR flight simulators offer some of the best, most immersive experiences around. Here are seven that you shouldn't miss out on.
Literally, the vast majority of these games aren't flight simulators. Don't write about what you don't know.
Today Bandai Namco Aces announced that Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has added another million units sold to its trophy case.
I am with you. By mission 17 my mind was checking out. However.....Can we get a new one by now?
Well done getting that far! I think I made it to chapter 7 or 8. That bloody timer! Would play this game more if it was a bit easier. I might try again sometime see if I got better
Generation is too soft. Game was not difficult by my memory. Great and fair challenge.
I struggled too, I didn't get very far, I can't remember if the previous games were even this hard.
An excellent game, one of my favorites in recent memory. I only wish they made the VR mode span the entire campaign instead of a few select missions. And that they updated it for PS5/PSVR2, the resolution quite sucked in PSVR1.
Agreed. They could have sold a whole lot more units for VR users. To this day, I still go back and play those few missions. Stopped caring about the main game because I got so used to playing in VR. PC VR users would have bought copies as well.
Ace Combat 7 takes to the unfriendly skies once more, this time with the best experience now available on Nintendo Switch.
Namco/Capcom/Square are notorious for skipping the US for physical releases of some games and it's always a disappointment. It's much easier to import nowadays, but we shouldn't have to resort to that.
I honestly thought it did have PSVR 2 support, but was sadly mistaken. I was excited to check this out when I bought mine. It is so incredibly stupid that Sony hasn't figured out some way to bring VR 1 games to VR 2. Especially when they're barely giving VR 2 any support as it is.
“Ace Combat 7 breaks franchise records”
Great to hear. Haven’t played it myself but from what I’ve seen it looks great. Visuals look nice and being 60fps is a plus.
“The game was most popular on PS4, with 76 per cent of sales coming on Sony's platform.”
I feel like we’ll see a similar ratio with KH3.
This franchise is finally getting the love it deserves..
Glad they made a new episode, a good AC was really missing last gen.
Can't wait to try this on psvr.
I enjoyed Ace Combat 7 but at the sametime feel that it lacked a few things. Multiplayer (only 2 modes) compared to AC6 (4 modes) is a big let down. Heck AC7 Battle Royal only has 8 players vs AC6 16. The story was o.k. but it felt similar to other AC games I've played. Though there were some parts that did feel new.
Man, I absolutely love Ace Combat 7. Mission 3 kind of shocked me with how it ends and I love how Mission 4 introduces the squad.
