Ace Combat: Infinity

[Darwock]

The series just needed up to date graphics, new scenarios and new music. Nothing else had to change from the old AC4/5/0 formula. How many years has it been? There would be a whole new generation of gamers who are fresh to Ace Combat, never mind the fact that the rest of us have been waiting so long anyway.

Personally I think they could have spiced it up by making the wingman settings voice activated, and have radio messages through the headset. I was hoping for that back in the days of the PS2 games when online gaming and headsets were becoming the norm, but it never happened. Little touches like that would have been enough, instead of raping the whole franchise and then further raping the fans who wanted it back the way it used to be.

From what I remember Horizon did alright business so I'd assumed they'd knock out a follow up fairly quickly but this F2P approach seems to be becoming their focus for all their series and it just devalues them. Tekken and Calibur will persevere using new gen graphics etc but I'm not sure if Ace will make much of a showing and I'd be surprised to see a Ridge 8 at all at this point.

TBH, it doesn't sound too bad. If it keeps the old 04, 5 and Zero formula, but just adds a four-hour delay to playing, I'd go in for it. I wouldn't complete it in one sitting that way. If it's the 7 model though, it can GTF.
