Agreed with Volothos, It wasn't bad.
The dogfighting sequences were thrilling and it looked awesome, the helicopter mission however was boring, easy and and repetitive, and i laughed out loud when i did the 'evasive maneuver'.

Aside from the plain ugly google earth ground textures the jet sequence was a lot of fun. The helicopter part on the other hand was boring and just never felt right. I hope the final game will have as few heli fighting as possible, best case would be to cut it out entirely I guess ^^.
It was a passable demo, but no amount of "this works well" sentiment makes up for the fact that they neutered the series. Fun enough? Sure, but without the corn story and insanely impossible aircraft and sci-fi twists, its just not worth it for me.
I reserve the right to change my opinion when they finally take the curtain off at least one meagfortress airship with homing lasers and shimmering stealth tech.

The ground textures were enough to make me go "pass". Apart from fucking ugly, they actually give a false sense of proximity, so that I crashed (or rather... bounced? lol) into the ground a couple times. You would think that with textures that downright awful they'd want to keep us as high as possible, but strangely, the enemy planes seem adamant that dogfighting should occur only 300 feet off the floor.
Id be a lot more forgiving if this game was called something else, because its sure as hell not Ace Combat.
I dunno...I really loved the other Ace Combat games, but I was just so completely nonplussed with the demo. It just felt...different. And not in a welcoming way to a longtime fan of the series.
I'm in the market for a helicopter game at the moment and I've been eying Apache: Air Assault. I wonder how this compares (apart from just having jet fighters).
"Ugh, this video looks way too grimdark and reali-
...wait, did that helicopter just do a BARREL ROLL? WHAT?"
Regardless, I still don't like the route they're taking with Ace Combat. They took something that was awesome and changed most of it completely just to try and fit in with current trends, and as a result there's pretty much nothing to distinguish it from most other generic flight games that come out other than the name.
