Ace Combat VI revealed for Xbox 360, first screenshots

Today Ace Combat VI has been revealed for Xbox 360, thanks to a Japanese games magazine. The magazine has posted an article about the game together with the very first screenshots. Remarkable thing is that they only mention a Xbox 360-version. Ace Combat used to be a Sony-franchise.

If Ace Combat VI will be Xbox 360-exclusive or just hasn't been announced for PS3 yet is currently unknown.

OHHHH MANNNN this better not be trueeee....im buyin a ps3 on aust launch and i wanttt ace combattt

[Roblord]

First, I own a XBOX 360 but I'm not a XBOX 360 fanboy. I like good games.
I also have a PS2 and probably will buy a PS3.
Seeing that some games that were PS2 exclusive are coming to other platforms in the next-gen consoles shows two things:
- With little exception, most late-gen exclusive from third parties are going to be multi-platform;
- And, the console war in this gen will not depend only in the games the console have.
A good on-line service, system stability (read 3 red lights), interaction and company support for the consumers are going to help decide the fight.

I love the Ace Combat series! And is good to see some development of it in the next-gen. Especially for the system that I own....

Xbox live and ace combat = Good times

[Shadow Flare]

ace combat is one of my favourite game franchises

imagine the aerial battles the cell processor is capable of producing, or flying with the sixaxis

[Lex Luthor]

Please drop the cell processor and bluray act, it's getting VERY boring.

:yawn:

[ASSASSYN 36o]

imagine the power of the cell in a game like...oh oh Armored core vs. 360 yeagh it did good there. /sarcasm/

[borncult]

Here that, "the aerial battles the cell processor is capable of", as if its such a strong processor, go do your homework boy, the new dual core amd's will kick the cell and the 360's cpu to the ground, its all down to the GPU in wich case the ps3 is mediocre.

You people best get used to this trend of everything coming to the 360, there is a roll reversal happening, the 360 is the new PS2 and the ps3 is the new Xbox1.

[Shadow Flare]

Firstly, when you say everything is coming to the 360, you make it sound like a 360 exclusive. PS3 had and still has these titles. Sony first party games are also always awesome, and are made extremely well.

Secondly, what are you talking about amd processors for? The cell is vastly more powerful than any chip in the 360. Sony always brags about they're games having fantastic physics and vast amount of things on screen simultaneously. Tell me one game where microsoft brags about those things. Its cos the 360 just has standerd components. Scientists are also saying how great the Cell chip is and how they can use it for research because of how many calculations it can do per second. Which in turn benefits games. Since when has anyone been excited about any components inside the 360? Excited bout your dvd drive?

Just look at a flight combat game like warhawk. It has hundreds of aircraft in combat at the same time with soldiers on the ground fighting too. And Lair, which has incredible graphics, hundreds upon hundreds of highly detailed soldiers fighting it out, each doing their own thing in the distance. I've never seen a 360 game that can handle stuff like that so well. Thats why Ace Combat 6 would be awesome on ps3.

And on a side note, games come to the 360 not because they want to but because they have to. They have to go to another user base aswell to justify costs. And by a game going to 360, it gets ruined from what it could be. If it was solely focused on the ps3, they could take advantage of its power. Imagine the kind of living vibrant city Grand Theft Auto IV could have. So much could be going on at once, so many cars, people all doing they're own thing; because the cell cprocessor can handle far more calculations then the 360 can. But because its on the 360 too, it has to be dumbed down for both consoles to handle it. Why do think criterion is focusing Burnout 5 mainly for the ps3? Because imagine the kind of game it will be

[Grown Folks Talk]

check out dead rising and 99 nights. plenty of stuff on the screen at once. of course, that doesn't make a game good.

[CG]

"The 360 has only standard components" HA HA HA
Did sony tell you that in one of your dreams, oh man i feel sorry for you!
Your obviously another clueless super sonyfanboy!!

[SmokeyMcBear]

i thought the cell processor could also do the load of a gpu.. you know.. cuz its super badass

[EaziG]

I remember seeing the PS2 versions for the first time and thinking WOW! that looks perfect. way better than the old PS1.

I can't wait to see what the PS3 will produce.

the Cell will be able to make some excellent use of this francise, but Shadowflare, lets not use that seven-letter word... sixaxis?! sorry, i don't think that'll be anything great. ha ha

[BIadestarX]

There goes another exclusive.

[Grown Folks Talk]

i just hope it's good. been wanting a modern flight combat game. over g fighters doesn't count. i don't see why all of a sudden it would be 360 exclusive though.

[JPomper]

So is the Ace Combat series more of a sim flyer or arcade?

[InMyOpinion]

For europeans it would be considered arcade. Compared to other japanese games it's as close to a flight simulator you can get =)

[Contra26]

aahh yes.....
I love my 360

especially now that its got DMC.

aaahhh.... screw the PS3.... what's so good about it now?

aahhhhhhh... drink my piss, PS3fanboys

[Sashy]

You know what Contra26 ? I just reported your last post :D

LOl.

Btw. I think that there will be an Playstation 3 version of the game and it sure will support sixaxis :D I can imagine the smoke, the explosions on the ps3 :D

[lilwingman]

PS3 lost another exclusive? When was this game ever announced for the system? This is probably just another example of third-party developers having to take their games multiplatform.

[Lex Luthor]

You guys should read the 2chan(most popular forum site in japan) thread on Ace Combat 06 coming to the 360. It's all "360? Japan? Uh, no." "WHY NAMCO BRING JAPPO MADE GAME TO NON JAPPO CONSOLE?" and "Katamari free sixy is no good, no japon buy 360 consoru." instead of actual discussion of the game itself.

[devv05]

Enough Europeans/Americans that like Ace Combat, it's not a typical Japanese game. And who cares about the Japanese anyway, we all know they have a very bad taste.

[G_CodeMonkey]

Over-G is "the first one to the missile trigger wins", and it has too much anime-style art to it, where Ace has always been solid (albeit not online). I'd love to see Ace on the 360 for XBL. Some 24-plane battles would be the bomb... Over-G is okay, but Ace would be awesome. I can't wait. Yet another to drop $60 on launch day for...

Notice that the picture mentions XBOX LIVE and XB360 specifically... Oh, I'm getting a tingly feeling!!!! gCM

[ASSASSYN 36o]

I disagree with you on the over-g first to missile statement. If you shut off your radar in the F-22 you enter stealth mode and can`t be detected hence can`t be shot at. It is off when you see the flashing battery with an X on it. Full Stealth mode activated. Though this is a game in real life the F-22 would not use it`s radar it would use the radar of AWACS or another F-22 out of enemy radar range via an uplink to a satellite. This is called the Raptor jump.

[G_CodeMonkey]

I'll have to load it back up and try. AC will still be an instant buy and let them fight it out for dominance in my 360.

gCM

[Maddens Raiders]

window it's the sound of my heart hitting the ground. If this is totally true, then one of my biggest wishes for my PS3 purchase has been dashed in one fell swoop. I thought this was a Namco/Bandai deal. Cellius, hello? What the hell are you doing? ACE has always been on the PS and now it's not going to be announced even before the 360 version? All of a sudden it's getting cloudy and cold here. Fuk!!! Never thought I'd have to buy a 360 to play one of my favourite game's of all time -- Oh well.... (bending over, clutching kneees, sucking in gulps of air)....

What do the Belkans think of this? Damn you Cellius...........!!!

Guess I'll pick up my copy of KZ2 for the 360 and PS3 both just to see which is better.lol aaggghhhhh

[kmega87]

Download for themes and icons for this game on Friday!

[G_CodeMonkey]

I bet the theme rocks.... Nice link to IGN for yet another confirm.. gCM

[Xi]

It's being reported as a 360 EXCLUSIVE, that's right, exclusive for the 360.

Just so you know what exclusive means it means you won't see this game on the ps3 with your sixaxis controller, your cell, and your blue ray.

[EaziG]

If Ace Combat VI will be Xbox 360-exclusive or just hasn't been announced for PS3 yet is currently UNKNOWN
