When Ghost in the Shell meets Air Combat

  • On today's video, we're kicking it all the way back to 1999 with the Playstation 1 release: Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. Specifically, we're looking at the Japanese version of the game with the Loadworld Team's English patch applied, in order to get the full experience offered by this ambitious title.
    This is my first time ever playing through the game.
    How does it hold up? Does the gameplay and story feel dated, or does it stand the test of time, 24 years later?

    As much as 3 was ambitious, I can see why it failed in Japan. Imagine going from an arcady top gun flight game straight to some dystopia nightmare future plane game because Evangelion and Ghost in the Shell were the hot new things in Japanese media.

      I hope that with a different age now, Project Aces can salvage AC3's plot by building up towards it in AC8. It doesn't need to bring weird futuristic planes to it, it just needs to give more focus to Simon and the General Resources and Neucom.

Mark my words: in Ace Combat 8 General Resource will turn out to be evolved GRunder Industries and the story is going to be about how it was Belka's plan for world domination all along. Oh, and Sublimation project will of course be started with the goal of preserving the skills of Mobeus 1.

    And here it is, the missing epic, the lost masterpiece... the one that the rest of the world got a _disgraceful mockery of_ instead of an export. Few things have made me more sad in the history of the videogame industry than learning I might never get a chance to properly play the end of the timeline for Strangereal. (Also, the truth about Nemo and the events of the game is the single most frightening reveal possible if you see the trends in IRL combat flight platforms.) A true high concept sci-fi story.
    I really want a sequel (in terms of an Ace Combat game set not long after this one) where the corporate war starts, and the ominous force of destruction that keeps swinging things mysteriously is Nemo. Setting up the player character as one of those outliers not predicted and watching as the plan for Nemo derails and Nemo reacts. A worthy opponent that isn't Dision? Surely Nemo would have to respond, even if the mission is complete. Nemo fly's and fights, that is it's existence. Plus it would make for a great final boss to have a confrontation with a previous player character that is canonical to Strangereal's timeline.

    Dision truly was an absolute sad man, he got cheated on by his own partner in front of himself by himself and then imediatelly saw her die and then went on to get purged in the future at a high probability rate if Simon's algorithms were correct. Can't say that he didn't deserve it though, that's what he gets for manipulating Rena on all timelines and all of the atrocities due to his sublimation plot.
    I Wonder if we'll ever see another AC game with this cyberpunk setting again though, we got somewhat close with the AI plot of AC7 but the game still felt very modern and aside from some of the drone designs and space elevator, most of the game felt very present day in its presentation.
    EDIT: The OST is also goated, it's my favorite out of all of the games.

      No he didn't get cheated. You need to understand that there are 2 Disions at that point. One is the real human Dision, another is AI Dision created through sublimation. When AI Dision was born it saw human Dision making love with Yoko. At that time his mind could not comprehend this, because in its perspective, it thought it was the real Dision. And not long afte that, it saw Human Dision and Yoko got killed

    Easily my favorite game of the franchise, speaking as someone who started with 04 just as you said. I like how you mentioned the flight model specifically, and I think you can really see it in play during the post-mission replays. The way that the planes gracefully drift about through the sky was absolutely enamoring, and I was shocked to find out people didn't enjoy how it handled. Honestly I wish the latter games had a similar model.
    Also something of note, the animated cutscenes were all done by Production I.G. Largely, by the same team that did the legendary Ghost in the Shell film. Very fitting for the subject matter.

    If Ace Combat 2 hadn't been the strongest drug ever made, Nostalgia, I would've picked this game as the best game in the series.
    and i played all AC games in half a year, before the release of 7, and after that 6's pre-order.
    and still 3 comes on top for me, because of "Ambition".
    edit: i feel like the game would lose it's atmosphere if it was remade in a more realistic style.
    taking a realistic design style, is a style, and it's biggest flaw is that it has no style, and waters down any atmosphere that is related to games and tries to compensate it by making it look like a movie, it is a poison that comes from the movie industry, because no real effort was made to evaluate video games as a medium.
    "making a game realistic" has been mistakenly seen as something that every game company must achieve, but i think it's undervalues video games and shows how much people are insecure about calling video games more than child's play.
    style doesn't make a game more mature, even if games don't look mature, they could be, but dummies can't muster enough pride and courage to say it.
    I want Ace Combat 3 to be remade in this PS1 older graphics but actually go all the way with it.

    Very nice video! One thing I don't understand with the story is how would Dision and Nemo interact with their squad mates? I mean everybody assume they are both humans. (since the shock of the revelation of Dision being sublimated) They both have no physical bodies since Dision was already sublimated and Nemo is an AI. A lot of communications between the characters happen remotly so I can understand that they can have a fake avatar. But Keith hinted that pilots still had some interactions between each others. I think at some point, if you save Keith's life, he says something like "we should drink a beer together". And Dision being his best buddy, I bet they'd met each other often. Or maybe it didn't happen since the attack where Yoko died?
    Maybe it's a little plot hole or maybe I'm missing something, what do you think?
    Anyway, I like the overall plot, even though the motivations of Simon are a bit silly in the end.
    I'd LOVE to see an upscaled version of all these gorgeous cinematics.

    I really like Ace Combat 3 and it left a impact on me early on, played the JP release first; while I don't think its the best in the series, it does a lot right. Something that stands out to me is that it's the only *“Kitai” game I know of that incorporates elements of psychological horror. The whole fight with Dision in the electrosphere and the scene where he gets sublimed is honestly pretty creepy stuff. As for its quality since you didn't expect it, it’s somewhat typical of PS1 games from the pre-Y2K and Y2K era - they’re just good.
    Will you do a video on Ace Combat 2? It’s not as great as Electrosphere, but there’s something magical about it. The soundtrack and simplicity of the missions make it one of the most fun Ace Combat games, despite its age. It’s not as great as Zero or 3, but it’s purely fun. and it aboslutely left a impact in the series as the modern Ace Combat forumula came from this game and clones from the PS2 era directly copy Ace Combat 2’s formula down to the “Break Now” intro sequence as opposed to taking from the better ace combat games.
    On another note, a game series you should look into is Armored Core. If you haven’t tried it, you should. Ace Combat and Armored Core share a lot of mutual inspiration and even some of the same concept artists. like really, to me, Armored Core is like the Ace Combat of mechs. The controls on earlier games are a bit clunky, but they all support analog on buttons via emulator, which I think is the best way to play them. If you haven't touched that series at all you should. Master of Arena on the PS1 is a good one to start with. I also bring this up because there are huge similarities between the series' overall aesthetic and tone when compared to Ace Combat 3.
    *Also to clarify what I mean by “Kitai” (機体), it’s a Japanese term for media involving fighter Jets or Mecha as the centerpiece. It translates to “Airframe”. It's a bit fustrating they're treated more as split genres in the west when both are related, ig it has to do with the western perception that a Mecha is more of a MBT rather than that a walking Fighter plane.

English wasn't my mother tongue and I barely knew it, so I went to a local gaming club and asked if there's a sequel to the Ace Combat 3. The club owner actually pulled from under the table the Japanese release and said that here's the full game but it's in Japanese so nobody needs it and he gifted the game to me.
    So I kinda combined the bare bones knowledge of the characters and factions from international release and the events from the Japanese release and played the game for dozens of hours completing all endings. Still barely understood what's going on but had tremendous amount of fun.

    Good video. In retrospect, I wish I had played the Project Nemo translation instead as it is so much more flavourful. I've been watching a few videos and I played the Load Word Team's translation which is the one used in this video. I feel the writing was really poor and every character ended up sounding the same. It was also a little harder to follow as a result, though it is definitely not straightforward to untangle this game's story as it is. Leaving this comment here for future AC3 players.

    i know, it sounds stupid, but my mind and my body got separated at that moment . . . even though i was questioning the mission, my body became mindless wings that only fly for destruction, like Rena and her Night Raven

    the feelings i have for this game are near impossible to describe to be honest, but one thing is for sure; Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is the game that affected me the most on the emotional level, a true game to be remembered
    lots of people in the ACE community wants remakes of the 3 PS2 games, considered the "Golden Age" of Ace Combat
    instead i believe Ace Combat 3 would make for the best remake, maybe even a sequel in a few years, when AC3 will be well forgotten, like Simon said "forget everything you saw here", i want to see Nemo out there

    I played a Ps1 demo disk that came bundled with the Ps1 and had 1 misson of Ace combat 3 the international version.. played it hundreds of time , but in my country the game never released , having said that the itch to experience a full ace combat game never left me and when finally Ace Combat 4 released and was available in my country I bought it , and have been an ace combat fan since then.

    I just finished this game on last Sunday.
    It was the international version, but i still got hooked by the gameplay, graphics, music.
    Kinda silly way to get into a series but i am ready to play more Ace Combat games.

    I love how in AC3 there is inertia! you can do high AoA flying and it feels way more satisfiying than in AC7 that feels like the plane is on rails... To be honest since i play War THunder i cant do with unrealistic physics, breaks my immersion lol

    Man, a game from 1994 holds up better than games that were made just last year.
    That said, despite the different tone and all, I’d say Ace Combat 3 is pretty dope to this day, just as long as you get the original version and patch it with the fan translation, instead of that watered down, 2 dollars worth, western release.
    (Also, Electrosphere is such a cool title)

    I played both releases. First, the incomplete JP version from pirated 'flight sim game compilation' disk, then the international.
    I felt the international release was a giga downgrade from JP because they cut down too many things.
    Then I found the JP ISO over the internet. It was a pleasure.

    No other entry in the Ace Combat series can even compete with the depth of the story and characters in Ace Combat 3. Just the conflict between Rena and Erich on the topic of "what would you do to keep the wings" feels more significant than many main storylines. That's why it irritates me to no end when people unironically say that "Mobeus 1 is the best character in the series."

    so I played the International release having NO idea that there was a Japanese version that was completely different and frankly I am SUPER annoyed that there was a so much cooler version of this game out there.
    While I still enjoyed my time with 3. (specially the cool sci fi ships) I have to admit the story never gripped me and I enjoyed AC2 so much more in that regard.
    Will say though it was interesting to see the parallels between the international and the Japanese version. and how DIFFERENT the context and story was.

    "Does a 1999 Ace Combat game still Hold Up?"
    Yes, Japanese version. Namco unfortunately butchered everything that make Electrosphere beautiful in international release.
    Also here's a list i have on why Electrosphere hold up.
    1.The only Ace Combat that ever goes to space
    2.The only Ace Combat that have 52 missions and 5 endings
    3.Anime cutscenes, FMV's
    4.Chance to defect, choose your own fate thingy.
    5.Airborne Carrier boys, our own airborne carrier.. UI-4053 Sphyrna
    6.Well, shocking ending i guess. Finish all 5 routes and well you'll have Simon informed you that we're not real.
    7.Database feature, strong world building
    8.Most amount of female pilots (Fiona, Rena, Cynthia)
    9.Complex Villain (Dision, Park, Nascimento) or almost no true Villain...except maybe Park
    10. O.S.L Get A in all 52 missions and you'll get access to OLS.. all you need to do Is lock on target and it's gone. No maneuver, No Nonsense.
    11. Unusual method to get X-49.. where you need a special CD which contain data named "DeadCopy" which will unlock X-49 for you. Tho.. it wont unlock OSL.
    That's my list of baddassery in the Ac3.. which so far not seen in later releases.

    I can't recommend you try out AC2 enough, because it really feels like a predecessor to the ps2 games down to control, level design, enemy ai and all. I really love 3 but at points it feels it little bit more style over substance, like the game looks and sounds better than how the actual gameplay is.

    Honestly, I'm not a big fan of this type of reviews/commentary. Because you spend 70% of the video retelling the entire game story in a shorter version but still spoiling every big and emotional moments. Wich is useless for those who played it and a major spoiler for those who did not. And kind of lazy to, cause 70% of your work is just a resume of the game story. The true commentary and analysis is only 10 min maybe at maximum. I would rather listen to a deeper analysis of gameplay cool mission, the story and themes, you emotion etc etc. So i would advise for a deeper analysis or a shorter video.

    Nie lubię AC3. To antyteza Ace Combat. A ta seria to power fantasy o ludzkim pilocie w prawdziwym, licencjonowanym samolocie, nie o ai w latającym sf-śmieciu. Mam nadzieję że ta gra jest zdekanonizowana. Albo chociaż istnieje ostatnia ścieszka, prawdziwa wojna, gdy to prawdziwy człowiek w samolocie rozkwasza nemo na miazgę.
