Finally, GamerKnights did a full review of "Ace Combat: Skies Unknown". Not too late but still ahum a bit late.
Anyway here's a snippet:
"Oh, how it has been a long, long time since this was on my HDD. It has been over a decade since Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation came out to a lukewarm reception on PS3, PC and Xbox 360. I remember owning this and thinking that things had been better. Indeed, I looked back to the original Air Combat from the first Playstation and I remembered just how simplistic and enjoyable things were back then. I mean, the problem with Ace Combat 6 was that it tried to sew a narrative with depth into a game mechanic that was relatively minimalist. It always felt like the combination didn’t fully work. And so, with that, it lay in stasis for many years, until infinity in 2014. Now, it tries to rise like an F-15 back into the skies for a new take on the genre. It has been a long time coming, but can “Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown” be king of the skies once again?"
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.
NE: "Tying in with the launch of Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown on Switch, we were recently able to learn a bit more about the port. We caught up with Ryunosuke Hagiwara, producer of the new version."
