SCORPIOOOOOOOOO BUMP! I wish VR was a bigger play in this, and maybe it is now [full disclosure, I'm a Sony employee], but don't tell me another Ace Combat game isn't going to go from "hey, pretty typical missions" to "OH HOLY FUCK THERE'S A DEATH MACHINE" as part of the plot.
Also, there was recently a shakeup in the Oval Office that might have twisted things a little.
