You forgot to include that AC series is known for its music as well (Especially among the community). The 2020 Tokyo Opening Ceremony included a song from AC5 is proof of that.
I can't get enough of this series. I replay several of these games every year. The stories are surprisingly compelling, the missions have just enough variety to keep you motivated, the controls always feel perfectly responsive, and the music is consistently incredible. Bring on AC8.
Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is still one of my favorite PS1 games. I got the 2 disc Japanese release, which had a lot more story, and more missions. It may have had lower sales, but it still stands as my favorite Ace Combat games. Under rated and under appreciated.
@@keness4768 Everything is in Japanese. Hard to understand. But it’s a more complete game and can be played to the end, no problem… provided you have a Japanese or modded PS1.
i looked for this video years ago. We had a ps2, and by the time the third gen rolled around everything was changing so fast. I remember people talking about the graphics of ratchet and clank on TV, because everything was coming so far. I think there was a moment in the 2000s so many of us missed that separated the conclusion of the 90s from where I find myself looking up now and sighing. Maybe just growing up does that to a person, but growing up with a dead history, it feels like we were the first of another age to remember a memory and not the experience. Everything becomes corrupted, clones of clones until im someone else. 15 years. 15 years.
Oh yes! I had a lot of fun with that game, was such a surprise! You could feel the love from the devs while playing, hope they can make a sequel someday.
AC 5 is my fav. I play it every year. I think its tragic none of these games are available. I got AC 5 in a free dlc with AC 7 but it isnt for sale otherwise. 🤷♂️
This seventh games campaign is at least 4hrs long, but I loved it so much I put in almost 250hrs How it makes you and your squadron feel like mythical heroes of old flying fighter jets is unrivaled, soundtrack, set pieces, and a surprising amount of lore, all wonderous
4 and 7 were the ones I enjoyed. I do wish, however, that they'd kept it a bit more real. The final missions in the campaigns were ludicrously OTT and a pain to try and complete. You could say that there has been an Ace Combat movie, they just called it Top Gun: Maverick! If there is another then I may give it a whirl.
Ace6 is Still the PHOTOREALISTIC Juggernaut and Best ‘Feel Of Flight’ Even Today which I guess is the Only Strong Point it has which Made it Lowest selling !?
Why can’t these gaming companies all get together, like cod, battlefield, ace combat, all of these prominent war game making companies, or even ROCKSTAR too, (I’d like to see all ideas for a solid war game) and make a game that is EXTREMELY well put together, flight controls, character controls, weapons, vehicles, possibly different roles to play as drivers and shooters or whatever for campaign multiplayer integration for a storyline.
like I get what you're saying and in an ideal utopia type world where money and greed doesnt exist it would be possibly but...... yea that's like saying how come mcdonalds, burger king and wendys don't come together and make the best burgers and fries it ain't gonna happen, won't be enough money proposition for all entities involve to even make that viable
It's like calling NFS Underground a Racing Sim! XD But yeah, I guess it's a cultural thing, people are used to call games like AC as flight simulator, it's not common to call it "arcade airplane shooter" or something.
Chiper is badass, Kill the enemy aces (not just one country), coup d etat, plane fortress, laser, and his wingman .. survive the nuke, kill mobius 1 😂 What else?
@@itzlightspeeder It´s a non cannon mission in ACZ. In which Cipher takes up on many of the previous squads, and in the end, he fights a misterious F-22A codenamed Mobius. It was planned to be one of Cipher´s Nightmares. But the story got cancelled.
No options for take offs and landings in AC7😖 Made it a big NO for me😞 I know it’s NOT a Simulator but really? Landings and taking off options would kill the arcade feel? Not as long as you can pile 50 missiles on your,ahem..fighter.🤣
@@Apocalyptico100you're not crazy, there are missions where you can take off from carriers or airfields, and a mid-air refueling minigame if you're using a non-carrier capable plane.
12:12 prooved with a shadow of a doubt that it wasn’t just NOT Worth the wait but Continued to Ripoff its Players and insult them by pumping out DLCs that we’re basically just nostalgia bait in the Worst kind ! ZERO substantial updates from Launch like Update Replay Viewer to be in insta-replay from Pause menu and after matches, also Refueling and Sorties get ZERO Reward as no bonus point for not skipping Nor Enjoyment of watching REPLAY !? I wish the “fanbase” would just Openly acknowledge that Yes Ace7 SUCKED but therefore Opened a Path to BETTER ITSELF Again !?
Ace Combat Zero And Skies Of Deception Focus On Strangereal Bruh It Connect To Strangereal Years ago when Indivuval Terrorist Group Attacks In Osea and Anea Of Belkan Technology even Usea Ace Combat 4 Shattered Skies takes in bruh I'm a fan of Ace combat i analyze Ace Combat storyline don't call out Spin Off that Focus real world Oh Ace Combat Zero and Skies of Deception Even Ace Combat assault horizon plus Are Focus Only Strangereal Okay Really joint assault and assault horizon Focus on planet earth Bruh

Bro, I can hear the castanets playing in my head right now! (from Ace5) 🥰
With the ac3 and ac4 soundtracks being the best...bc ac3 had the Crystal Method on it

Does it have English text in it as is, or only with a fan translated rom?
@@keness4768 Everything is in Japanese. Hard to understand. But it’s a more complete game and can be played to the end, no problem… provided you have a Japanese or modded PS1.
100% agree bro, this was one of the top games I played on the PlayStation
Plus it started the detailed flight physics like Actual inertia and energy management smh
Couldn't have come at a better time - I just downloaded the newest release, but with Ace Combat 4 as my only prior experience into the series.
Hope you’ve been enjoying it and if you haven’t already figured it out you NEED to play 5 and Zero, those are both essentials
Absolutely one of the best, most solid series in gaming.
AC5 and AC7 are my favorites.
What I wouldn't give for an ace combat 8 that is truly next gen.... bandai/Namco, make it happen and proceed to take my money.
i cant belive they called ZERO a SPIN OFF GAME!!
It's more standalone proto dlc
I call it a prequel instead qwq
I've been playing the series since the Ace Combat 2 and yesterday I finished the campaing mode for the 7th. To me, story-wise, the best one still 5.
My favorite franchise on PlayStation.

What about an honorable mention to Project Wingman?
Oh yes! I had a lot of fun with that game, was such a surprise! You could feel the love from the devs while playing, hope they can make a sequel someday.
Its not from the same company so why should they talk about it?
@@Blueflag04because it would be an Honorable mention from a Gamer that Played the “Company made games” who went on to develop his own ?
No talk about project nemo?
AC6 started it all for me. AC7 made me fall in love with it again, and im very impatiently awaiting AC8
Sony must enjoy losing sales with the PSN requirement blocking it's games in some regions
That's what happens when you have corporate assholes take over a company the f*** s*** up for no reason
The ps2 ones were my favorite.
Agreed.
Ace combat 5 is THE BEST: best story, best characters, best planes and best missions! Second place to 4!
Yes except no multiplayer and no real flight graphics like 04 had
The only ones I've ever played are the original on PS1 (yes, I'm that old), and Ace Combat 7 Top Gun Maverick Edition.
I loved Ace Combat 3 on the ps1!😮😊
AC 5 is my fav. I play it every year. I think its tragic none of these games are available. I got AC 5 in a free dlc with AC 7 but it isnt for sale otherwise. 🤷♂️
I wish PS2 Ace Combat games will be released on phones via Netflix.
Love Ace Combat. Distant Thunder is my favourite :)
Can't wait wait for it to come out for Switch x3
This seventh games campaign is at least 4hrs long, but I loved it so much I put in almost 250hrs

there's the anime lol Area 88. kinda came in before AC and i bet it served as inspiration for the mercenary theme of 1, 2 and Zero
Ace combat 5 the best.... storyline... music... #1
Garuda Team all call signs report in
I haven't got a PS5 yet, but release Ace Combat on it and I'm all in :)
I can’t wait for 8
Maybe this is nostalgia but ac6 is one of my favorites
Ace6 is Still the PHOTOREALISTIC Juggernaut and Best ‘Feel Of Flight’ Even Today which I guess is the Only Strong Point it has which Made it Lowest selling !?
I hope ace combat 8 comes to the switch. I love 7 being on a portable.
And in 3D and Split screen
We need a new one and not just on PlayStation.
Hoping the next one is a success

it ain't gonna happen, won't be enough money proposition for all entities involve to even make that viable
@@demonreturns4336 great analogy. That’s very true and very unfortunate. Dammit. Thank you. Haha
@@demonreturns4336what a Smart ass
If it isnt in Strangereal it isnt worth playing.
AC8 - WHERE IS IT???????
Played the original and 6
Ace Combat is Metal gear solid with Jets. Change my mind
I wonder how many new ace combat fans this video will create, we welcome all of you, nuggets. :)
You didnt even mention the arcade game which is where the series started. This is a complete history my ass
2:01
Your ass needs to pay attention bro
Calling it a simulation is a bit of a stretch
It's like calling NFS Underground a Racing Sim! XD But yeah, I guess it's a cultural thing, people are used to call games like AC as flight simulator, it's not common to call it "arcade airplane shooter" or something.
It never was a sim
@@Apocalyptico100because it’s Not really Just an “arcade plane shooter thingy” it’s More than hat but less than a “full blown boring sim”
@evolamcer211
Acepedia literally calls it an Arcade action sim
It's not a stretch, you just don't know what a Sim is.
No talk about project nemo?
8:40 ace combat zero is 100% a mainline game it is even numbered
It´s a shame they skipped such a masterpiece
@@crisapolopatuno11 ik right
Chiper is badass,
Kill the enemy aces (not just one country), coup d etat, plane fortress, laser, and his wingman .. survive the nuke, kill mobius 1 😂
What else?
@@yassermuttaqien5487 wait what he killed mobius 1? When?

I feel ya! It's a small detail, but it adds to the feel of being a pilot. Tho I recall you can take off and land sometimes (or am I crazy?!)
@@Apocalyptico100you're not crazy, there are missions where you can take off from carriers or airfields, and a mid-air refueling minigame if you're using a non-carrier capable plane.
Is that really what this video said !?
I haven’t even watched it yet
If u have a switch, buy it

AC5 slander???
Ace Combat 7 is objectively bad. But it is a step in the right direction.
He said "simulation" 😅
Unrealistic game, it's better to play DCS if you want to be a pilot
There are Other things then dcs that can make you “feel” like a pilot
