This is why when a game becomes truly dead (you can no longer buy a legal copy in a way that gives revenue to the developers) I am all for emulation. Unfortunately AC4, AC4A, ACV, ACVD are difficult to emulate
I feel the pain, I wanted to show my audience the forbidden Ace Combat game (Assault Horizon) and the hoops I had to jump through to get a steam key...but it was worth it! There is no jank quite as good as 360 era jank.
I tried replaying Assault Horizon not that long ago. I don't know how I was able to play the entire game some 15 years ago. Now I can't get through half the missions without taking long breaks (months long). I blame forcing us to use the dog fighting mode all the time.
The only AC game I've played was last raven. I've been wanting to play other later gen AC games especially FA, but the struggle is real. Shame I won't be able to get VD anymore without the possibility of getting scammed. 😔
its not fromsoftwares fault, at least not entirely, back then they werent so popular and had to switch between publishers all the time, its a legal issue. the publishers dont see any profit in it so they just leave the games shelved forever. only hope is emulation advancements...
Some of the soundtracks like Mechanized memories will keep V day/5th gen memorable
I love armored core mainly for its music as all of it goes insanely hard
The end of an era. I remember getting my 360 back in eighth grade, that was probably around '08.

some rpcs3 updates make the game more playable but it still has problems.
this was one of a few games i actually did go ahead and buy earlier in the year before the shop closes its an interesting entry into the series

@Mobilesuitk9 yeah that took an insane amount of time to get used too, especially with ac7 controls and gameplay still fresh in my mind
just get AC6... I'd argue it's better than AH
This game is still available digitally on the PS3 store as of Aug. 24, 2024
they NEED TO release this on PC man...
Already bought with the DLCs.

Last Raven was literally the first AC game i played from start to finish.
Emulation makes sure most game live on!

I'm pretty sure Bamco saw it... that only the souls games were selling... take a note ACV and ACVD were published by bamco
