      @BMO Ace Combat Zero is for PS2 only, unfortunatly there is no remaster of it for now (fingers crossed to have one soon)
      But you can play it using a PS2 emulator, its fairly easy to play it that way, i have it myself, just download PCSX2 emulator , foolow the tutorial and then download the ACZ game file (its a rar or iso file)
      And for the emulator setting there was video that tells you exactly how to adjust all the settings to have it working smoothly,
      Sorry about that rambling but jist want to make sure that your first experience with Zero is as amazing as possible like it was for us, oh and yeah you should play zero first, maybe 5 and 4 after that if you want, personal recommendation is 5, after that you can play AC7 like you want

      I regret buying it. It's not ace combat, it's ground attack combat while evading drones/SAMs. And the story is garbage, hardly any customization, wingmen are superficial as all hell. The core gameplay is great, the weather effects are awesome, and then it's completely ruined by a forced timer, drones and ground attack. No aces, no lore/affects of your squadron because you're hardly in the same one for more than 3 missions at a time and the player character is just a silent pushover. God dammit I was excited for this one, but it doesn't hold a candle to AC5 and it definitely isn't worth $50+ imo

      I don’t know about selecting aircraft, but in Ace combat 5, there is a decent arcade mode which steadily increases in difficulty as you fly through as a single fighter through different terrain and AI enemies, it also has no campaign on the arcade mode so no more annoying chat that repeates itself ever time you die. In my opinion as a fan it’s the closest you’ll get to what you’re talking about. Hella old game tho

    Short Story from a true game lover: When I was 5 my house burned to the ground. We had NOTHING left. My Grandfather got me a PS1 (was new at the time & simply called the Sony Playstation, I'm talking an OG 1996, square body, eggshell white build) And I got donated a copy of the Original Air Combat as well as a few other classics such as Spiro & Crash Bandicoot. As I am sure you all can understand, having a distraction to shield my mind from the reality of having nothing & living in a hotel, then a camper trailer, then a repossessed single wide my parents had to remodel themselves, these games damn near saved my life. I LOVE that AC7 It is literally a modern rebirth of the classic. Jake & Falcon you NEEEEEED to play the PS1 Air Combat.

    Jake, not sure if you got the preorder bonus on top of this copy, but if you get the chance play AC5. It's one of the best entry-level games that brought a lot of new fans, including myself, into the fleet. Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War is truly a story I can see becoming a really good wartime fictional movie if it's handled correctly.

I wish we actually had enough of these games to more honestly think of this as just another of its kind. Especially with the kind of graphical technology we have, these games could look gorgeous, and Ace Combat 7 certainly does.

    As a fan who's played other Ace Combat games, it's a nice return to form after Assault Horizon. One thing I wish they kept with the campaign mode is having some type of control with your squadron, like picking their planes or being able to command them on missions. The multiplayer is really fun and you earn nicknames for doing things, even from the campaign that you use in multiplayer.

    Glad you understand why, even though it's relatively small, the Ace Combat community is extremely loyal. If you're going to play the other games, I'd recommend the "Holy Trinity" with 4, 5, and Zero on the PS2. 4 goes through the events of the last war with Eurusia, 5 is about the last war involving Osea, and Zero is a prequel to 5 and involves the Belkans. You'll notice that the planes feel more agile and lighter, so dogfighting can get really intense, especially with Zero. Also, more planes in general in each than in 7.

    Ace Combat 4 holds the most nostalgic value for me since it was the first game in the series that I played as a kid. It's still a really great game, and AC5 really ups the anti in a number of areas. Most notably in its storytelling. As far as AC7 is concerned, I'll have to see where it ranks for me personally after giving it a little more time to stew. That said, I absolutely loved this game and it's definitely going on my best of the year list.

    PS

    Late as hell to the party here, but Ace Combat 4 stands out as the #1 game in the series for me. The story is great and compelling despite being told through (excellently drawn) pan-across shots of stills. And the opening animation where you're being launched off a carrier in a F4-Phantom-II was beautiful in an era where polygons were still all the rage. Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies was the true beginning of the series as we know it today. Excellent detail, tons of radio chatter, compelling story, and killer soundtrack. You can't ask for more.
    All that said, The Liberation of Gracemeria for the oft-derided AC-6 is still the best Ace Combat song ever written.

    Thank you for giving an honest review to a series you know little about. Im a HARDCORE fan of this series (Ace combat 4 is the game that made me a gamer) and after putting nostalgia aside this title TRULY holds up to the glory of the older ones. It has a 20 mission campaign, great soundtrack, plenty of callbacks to previous titles, and enough improvements to truly be a next-gen entry for the series.
    As a player of AC Infinity though, I was honestly hoping for a little bit more in the multiplayer. Everything they had in infinity was so much fun, and would be fairly easy to implement into their current system. I have high hopes for the future though, Im sure they want to release content updates and more as time goes on.

    Graphic wise Ace Combat 7 is great. However it has a few annoying gimmicks That I personally could do without (as well as enemies with plot armor and unnecessary objectives to ramp up the game difficulties). Like doing "Get this score within this time limit or else ... mission fail" stages are not fun to me as it forces me to spend less time on doing past time favourite of mine (dogfighting with guns only, limiting myself with only using 4-8 missiles per stage just like in real jetplanes).
    Also, the numbers of enemies lobbing missiles at you at almost all the time is getting annoying really fast. Like most of the time this is what you hear playing Ace Combat 7 "MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!MISSILE!!!"
    Anyway I prefer previous Ace Cambat gameplays (AC 4, AC5 and AC 0) more than this latest release.

      Tony G the VR mode has its own set of missions. You control Mobius 1 in the VR mode not Trigger

    For a first timer you got everything right on the money. I'm happy you liked it and I hope more people support the genre. In my opinion ace combat zero was the most intense from a gameplay an story telling aspect...
    It makes you feel like a legendary ace pilot all the way to the last mission. If your gonna start anywhere start there.

    Just realized there is a HUGE 11 year gap between AC6 and AC7. This got me thinking....there's still hope for us Ridge Racer fans out there in getting a new Ridge Racer game.
    I have a feeling we'll see one on the PS5 within its first year of release.

    I finished this game and I 100% agree with you. The story is super engaging as you said and it’s just a fun game to play overall. I’m really glad the progression system works very well and you get a fair amount of MRP which is basically the currency to buy planes for those who don’t know. And you still get a decent amount of mrp for replaying missions. This game is great

    I played this on gamepass first time I ever tried this type of game and man I was blown away with the quality gameplay. Man I'm hooked! I played on easy first to get to grips with it but quickly restarted on harder mode .
    Its gems like this that gamepass brings to the table for people unwilling to take a €70 hit on something they may not like . Happy gaming chaps

    Ace Combat 5 definitely the best one in the series. (My opinion lol)

    I beat the game without finding the plane unlock tree lmfao I'm replaying it now with the raptor and my upgrades. I wasn't prepared for japanese style boss fights in a fighter jet game. It's neat. Not at all what I expected.
