I agree 100%. It just felt bland, dumbed down and more "realistic". I miss Gracemeria and the madness that ensued in it's destruction and capture! I want to fight city wide manta ray flying aircraft carriers while fighting 1000 su32s in a badass f22!
Using the word "Airships" to describe fifth generation fighter aircraft and attack helicopters is not a good way to get your point across. Maybe use correct terminology next time?
I don't know, I just wish people would stop bitching about franchise direction and either play the game, or don't.

Ace Combat Zero was awesome. 5 was good but cheesy as someone else said. Hell, all of the PSx and PS2 games were solid. This just seems meh.
I'm still thinking about this game, but probably the new combat system can make up for all the crazy weapons of before, I still need to see how the helicopter missions develop, after all it seems the demo showed the fist mission.
The music still kick ass though.

@Necron117, yea we should stop giving our opinions and just accept whatever stupid and ultimately suicidal decision every game company makes. That way the makers don't know what sucks about the game and continue to make it in the same fashion until no one buys the game. GREAT IDEA. Why are you even going into a thread that is about opinions on a game to only bash on the entire concept of criticizing games. Either a fail troll or a guy with serious NO life. ad hominem all day
Its like they tried to make Burnout with jets but I'm not digging it. Too bad because I like the previous games. Just do what you do best Namco.
I'm not impressed with the chances too. Which is sad because I was really happy to be able to finally play Ace Combat on a PS3.
Just played the demo: H-A-T-E-D it.
The demo crushed my hopes of the game somehow coming out OK in the end. Assault Horizon is officially on my "not even if it is on sale someday" list.
I could go on a nerdrage list of the aspects of the game which distress, annoy, or anger me, but there isn't much point in that. Gar gar, grumpy franchise fan upset that they shit on what he liked about the series and turned the game into everything he hates...

Also, the music in the fighter demo stage would have been bad on a PSOne game, in the present context it is just embarrassing.
I've never touched an Ace Combat game before, and I had fun with the demo... Was considering buying it, but now I hear it sucks.
I didn't get a PS2 until after I had my PS3, so maybe I should find a copy of one of the older games instead.

@dolson: wait a sec, you like the demo. but some guy tells you it sucks so now you don't like the game... O_o grow a pair
Namco wants and easier game for teh casula crowed, but I don't think there is a casula crowd for a fighter game. Moreover, I think fans of teh series just want to fly some cool jets while having a sense of control. This game is for nobody...or I hate to say it people who don't know any better, who have never played a flight game.
The old Ace Combat games were good, and they had a fan base. If Namco wanted to expand sales I think they needed to entice an even MORE HARDCORE feel to bring all the fans back.

I just don't see what's with all the hate, if you like the game, great! If you don't then don't play it. In that fashion I wasn't referring to Hamza, his opinion is as valid as anyone else's. However, at least have correct terminology in your articles. I know it's nitpicky, but it makes all the difference to the readers.
Calm down, it's really not worth getting worked up over.

Says the guy who tells the staff reviewer how to do his job over a choice of WORD. Not plural, as in a choice of WORDS, but a singular item of speech. Yes, it's nitpicky, and it only made all the difference to you, because I'm a HUGE Ace Combat fan, and I, for one, give no such fuck. I can tell you the differences between a F-15E Strike Eagle and an F/A-18E Super Hornet, and I still couldn't give less of a gilded shit that Hamza dared to use the word "airships."
It's a fucking videogame blog. You're bound to hear that word. And to be frank, the only one getting worked up was you, since you made the initial bitch about something besides the game itself.

I see this game, and one half of me wants to be glad that it comes out on my 29th birthday (come on, 10/11!), but the other half knows damn well that they've probably ruined what I've bought the past six games in the series for. As I haven't played it yet, I'm anxiously awaiting a demo. I'm hoping I can dig it, because I'm that dude who spent that serious coinage on the AC6 flight stick bundle, and HAWX just wasn't going to cut it.
In fact, I've gotten more use out of that thing going back and playing Descent on my PC. Go fig.
