      i never got that far in Infinity because of that stupid fuel system, either sell the game or allow it to be free, alternatively, they could just make an AC:Infinity campaign for free, and then sell all the campaigns from AC1 all the way to AC6 including Assault horizon, the GBA and the PSP versions all in that game, Sell them as DLC and let the player play as much as they want without constraints of fuel bs.

      I guess perhaps PROJECT ACES feel the effort needed to pull it off outweighs the payoff at this time, cause to me (admittedly as a person who isn't into Ace Combat all that much) it sounds like the scope they have in mind is rather grandiose - more than likely involving new voice work and redone music. Electrosphere would be even more daunting, probably...
      All in all, this may also be why they enlisted outside help for the next instalment by teaming up with ILCA... whatever the new game turns out to be.

      The audio they can rip from the PS2 game files and update.
      Also. Absolutely NO excuse for losing the master file for a game since like 1990. What, you can't burn some CDs and keep them in a master index, with a backup? IDK about you but if Im spending a few mil for development Im gonna spend a few hundred on backups.

    Hi. I'm a new subscriber. This is one of the best recreations of the Pixy vs Cipher duel I've seen! It takes me back to the PS2 era days. Ac zero was my very first Ace combat game back in 2006, and hopefully, someday we'll get a remaster. Anyway, I just have one question, where did you get the Belkan emblem for the ADFX-01 Morgan?

      The high-vis Belkan roundel emblem (called "The Principalty of Belka") is acquired from multiplayer by reaching a combined total score of 500,000 score throughout the matches you played. The low-vis version is double that.

    I used to be able to time the fight on AC0 so that the fight followed the soundtrack perfectly:
    Fight begins: Intro and orchestral
    Morgan is hit first and conversations with Pixy: Choral solo
    “It’s time:” if done correctly, the V2 leaves the silo as the guitar solo begins
    The guitar solo will end and the group choral will begin the *instant* you regain control of your aircraft.
    This is one of my favorite Ace Combat experiences of all time.
