  • @KnightValfodr
    @KnightValfodr 7 років тому +63

    Just a heads up, Ace. This is still 30 fps even if your capture card claims to be recording in 1080p60fps (as is the case for Elgato HD60 and similar hardware). Why? Because Ace Combat 6 runs natively at 30 fps. The only way to get a 60 fps effect, would be to use motion interpolation software like pandazooka, Dantofu and I use for our videos. I hope you understand that I'm not dissing this video and just giving you some valuable information.

    • @AceCombatFan
      @AceCombatFan  7 років тому +6

      Really? Because I am getting a 60fps input in my game capture and when I checked in my editing software there were 60 frames in every second of the video

    • @KnightValfodr
      @KnightValfodr 7 років тому +12

      Like I said, that's just an indicator of the maximum output your capture card can record for games in general, but the game itself cannot go to that frame per second threshold (it was made way before 60 fps and high definition games came along, after all). A good eye can instantly tell this gameplay is in 30 fps, and nowhere as smooth as 60 fps.
      For your editing software, it's the same answer: it says it renders in 60 fps, but the recording itself is an obvious 30 fps, and only a few specific software can artificially produce more frames per second. What you're doing is just unnecessarily making your file size larger.

    • @Deliverygirl

  • @danishfarrell4653
    @danishfarrell4653 7 років тому +3

    tbh Melissa's story could've had a bigger punch.. if only the game gave the time (and the missions) to let her and Matilda grow as a character.. idk show them in their daily routine while sprinkling hints here and there that shit's about to go down south.
    This applies to all of the characters, they didn't have enough time to show themselves as individuals rather than just some blatant characters that you just gotta sympathize with from the get go.
    There is a reason why we love Edge, Chopper and Archer more than Swordsman in AC5, because we "grew" with them from when we were nothing. From when Blaze was just your average Joe Schmo of an Osean fighter pilot to a war hero praised by many feared by all, and then into a fugitive where everyone turned their backs on him and Wardog Squadron (even AWACS Thunderhead, someone that have been through the shitter with them throughout the entire Circum-Pacific War) and at last being the "Unsung hero" we know and love.. While Swordsman is just like "Hey, I'm the new guy here.. yeah, you've probably seen me like a couple missions ago. I'm just here to fill in the void Captain Davenport left... just uhh.. don't mind me, I'll just.. uhh.. yeah".
    If only they would let Melissa, Matilda, their late husband and father, Colonel Voychek, Shamrock (Garuda 2), AWACS Ghost Eye and all the other characters grow just a bit longer.. like maybe 3 to 5 more missions before the assault on Gracemeria, we could've had a great story on our hands... huh...

      Sorry but...
      Ace Combat 6 is XBOX 360 exclusive game.
      Ace Combat 5 The Unsung War
      1. Has more than 20 missions
      2. Has a lot of aircrafts
      3. Has a good storyline (if you care)
      Ace Combat 7 Skies Unknown
      1. Has an aircraft customization
      2. Has an VR game mode (PS4 VR only)
      3. Has an "Post-Stall Manuever" mechanics
      4. Has an lightning strike mechanic
      5. Has an wind glide mechanic
      6. Has an freezing temperature mechanic
      In my opnion, buy Ace Combat 5 and 7, because they are available on PS4, and aslo buy 6 if you had XBOX 360.

    Esto si era Volar! Tenías control total del avión, aunque le faltaba historia y dramatismo como en el Ace Combat Assault Horizont me quedaría con el AC 6, tenía mejores efectos que el AH, espero que el AC 7 sea como este en en el modo de juego

    I think, the best ace combat is 2!

      Gentoo Antoo 5 is in my opinion

    Why does this game give players so many missiles? I find it very unnecessary and to easy, in Ace Combat 5 you had to manage every thing and time your attacks precisely or risk running out of everything. Good hunting guys and girls.

      michael garcia unlike AC5 where you fight a few enemies at a time this game has you fighting enemy battalions, the areas can get crowded at times and some enemies are tough to shoot down

      Honestly ace combat 4-5-0 really made you learn how to use your guns over missiles, especially with ground targets.

      88Mobius Not really for AC 4. Having a return line for every mission means an unlimited supply of weapons and repairs.

      oh yeah, i forgot about that. I would try to avoid that though, so i did not run out of time.

      The return line in AC4 felt like cheating.

      AH is , music sucks in 6 tho

    • @88Mobius
      @88Mobius 7 років тому

      call me crazy, but I actually liked AH. I thought AH focused more on action rather than story, and to be honest it was not bad a story.

      88Mobius it's not bad. My least favorite was AH, and my favorite was Zero

    • @88Mobius
      @88Mobius 7 років тому

      I will agree it was not bad game play wise, story wise it could literally put me asleep.

    • @88Mobius

      The level's felt long and way to drawn out. The allies system was a cool idea, but it felt forced at times. on the other hand the first time i played through i completely ignored the allies system. AC 4 5 & 0 are the gold standard for me.

    poor graphics, strange dialogue. (japanese esque) i would rather hear it in japanese and read the subtitles, it just sounds too weird in english.

      Funny but I didn't feel that way with AC5, what went wrong here?
