Ace Combat 8 on Steam appears to include a port of Ace Combat Zero

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Ace Combat 8's SteamDB listing has been updated to add what APPEARS to be a PC port of Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War. Separate launch options are also present, including a "CNT" for AC8 which may be a Closed Network Test.

Old man here, chiming in that Ace Combat 2 is the best. Last game before they started with the anime and sci-fi bullshit.

It would be incredible to have the best Ace Combat game on PC with modding potential. AC5 on PS5 was one of the best preorder bonuses ever, it's a shame they didn't have a wider release.

I could really go for a full modern remake of AC4 though. Stonehenge Megalith with AC7/8 quality visuals, fully animated anime cutscenes, etc would be insane.
 
This went from Discount buy 3 years from now to Day 1.
You may be right dude. I wasn't planning on getting 8 day 1 but if it comes packed with even more AC then I might bite the bullet.

7 is so damn fun, and those DLC missions are pure kino.

I didn't like 7 that much tbqh. Too much banter between Bandog and the Spares and then later with Lancaster. Mihaly, Cossette, Harding, Scientist, Avril... dunno man. Felt a bit complex. Glad you liked it though. The Holy Trinity exists for a reason. I'm in for 4, 5 and 0. Ok and 2 as well, and 3 if they remake and localize the Japanese version.

7 is the only one I've played and that was like 2 weeks ago lmao. I'm a 7 baby :lollipop_content:

Still I'd recommend the DLC mission if you find them for very cheap. 3 mission that lasted me about 3 hours with better banter, story, characters and music than in the base game, plus the missions themselves were challenging and quite exciting.



But if you say the others are much better then hell yeah man, lets go can't wait to dive deeper into this series. Already have the PS2 titles waiting to be played.
 
Zero and 4 are the best Ace games. I tend to love Zero more simply because of the epic boss fights and music with the guitar and stuff. but AC4 is with it for the top place
 
Ace Combat 7 came with Ace Combat 5 on PlayStation and Ace Combat 6 on Xbox as pre-order bonuses, so this wouldn't be surprising.
I really don't understand why they couldn't sell AC 5 and 6 separately and port it to PC as well.

The already did the work, might as well make some money on it and allow fans of the series access to give the publisher $/€/£. It's just strange.
 
Oh fingers crossed, I played AC0 at a cousins house when I was young and never played another till I fell in love with 7. Very excited to go back to the classics.

These games contain real planes including Russian ones.
 
That's pretty sick! Hope at some point they port the other older PS2-era games, but I know I've seen some real planes so I'm assuming licensing is an issue like older racing titles.

Just gotta hope for some dope recomps.

I am not a young buck either but "the anime and sci-fi bullshit" made the subsequent games much more interesting. AC2 is not even the best AC game on the PSX.

I'm a bit jealous. Wait till you play them. Ace Combat 4 is my fav. Then 0 and 5 at about the same. Lucky man!
