[Dagless M.D.]

Bleh.

It looks like it was built on a current gen engine

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Looks meh compared to ChromeHounds.

 

[Lo-Volt]

The problem is the emptiness of the environment. Not every arcade-like dogfight has to be over such bare land, does it? PS2-era Ace Combat games made a point of actual environment, like cities, naval task forces, land forces, something besides the desert. The planes look good, but without the rest of the environment there in full next-gen glory, it's just another AC.

 

[Amir0x]

Well hey, what d'ya know. Another mediocre looking next-gen game.


When will you arrive, next-gen Ace Combat?

 

[FightyF]

So what's the excuse for the low res textures?

If there is any game that will really benefit from motion blur it's flight sims.

 

[MetalAlien]

Yea now these are the kinds of games I can't wait to see done right on the next gen...

 

[Red Blaster]

Ace Combat 5 looks identical to this in some shots.

 

[RiZ III]

Looks good to me.

 

[dorio]

Looks great to me. What are you guys complaining about?

 

[mckmas8808]

I've was hoping for more. The airplanes should look better than they do. But maybe it will look great in motion. I don't know.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Ace Combat 5 looks identical to this in some shots.

Yeah, the cleaned up shots of AC5 look just as good if not better than this. Heck, if PS3 allowed 16x anti-aliasing on PS2 games it probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between current gen AC5 and next gen games like this.

 

[FightyF]

Low res textures in nearly every shot is the absolute killer.

Great colour palette, technically the lighting looks good, but I have to see it in motion to judge the highlights.

If it had high res, crisp textures, it would look pretty sweet.

 

[J2 Cool]

weak. Sega's After Burner blows this AWAY.

 

[Varian]

 

[blackadde]

Janes, where are youuuuu.

 

[eso76]

weak. Sega's After Burner blows this AWAY.

uh, it's easy for an on-rail shooter where you can't fly higher than 200 meters blowing away a flight sim where you're supposed to fly anywhere you want.

I don't think it looks bad, we should first see how many of those mountains in the distance are made up of real geometry and how many are just textures...and kinda low res at that At least the draw distance looks good enough.

 

[AndreasNystrom]

Lomac on my PC makes this game look like one of the first direct 3d flightsims...

this looks very bad.

There ya go. Mark down "Microsoft" and you'll be set.

 

[jarrod]

Geez people, cut the game some slack, it's Taito. These guys aren't exactly known for their technical prowess... and this certainly looks like a generational leap over their PS2 Energy Airforce titles.

 

[Bartman3010]

Shouldnt we have things that arent barren and bleak?

 

[dark10x]

Heh, AC5's cleaned up shots really DO look about that good.

Even the non-AA'd shots hold up well against it.

 

[PhatSaqs]

Not impressed.

 

[Hyoushi]

CRI, make an Aero Dancing 360 plz.

Kthxbye.

 

[AssMan]

This is next gen? Graphically, AC5 shits all over this game.

 

[Xrenity]

I'n not impressed :\

 

[bloke]

Short gameplay video from TGS, doesn't look bad actually.

[Willy Wanka]

I'll be waiting for Ace Combat Next gen too. It really doesn't look that great but if it has some interesting combat and missions in there then I'll rent it.

edit- gameplay vid looks a bit better but not much.

 

[Shubit]

I can't be the only one that noticed the canopy glass seems to be missing in those shots, can I?

Looks like ass to be honest.

So this

looks better than this:

:lol Whatever you guys say.

 

[Shubit]

Great comparison tard, bravo.

Try these:

52000 polys for the win:

Game over man, game over.

 

[Xrenity]

Still not impressed.

 

[VictimOfGrief]

Still not impressed.

Junior members by nature are hard pressed to be impressed. Keep up the good work son. :lol

 

[EGM92]

I seen a couple of older shots that looked better then these... man Common Namco show us a couple of shots of ACE COMBAT 6 to help these developers learn from their mistakes!

 

[zero44]

World airforce still looks the best.

 

[dorio]

Great comparison tard, bravo.

Try these:

Game over man, game over.

And Airforce still looks better than all those shots.

Mountains shouldn't have poly edges:

They should look like this:

 

[Hydro_Alexis]

Bleh.

It looks like it was built on a current gen engine

Agreed and Indeed.

 

[jarrod]

Everyone's still missing the point. Here let's put it this way... World Airforce is the best looking game (in a technical sense) ever made by Taito.

 

[FightyF]

jarrod...trying to explain things on GAF is quite a bit more challanging that teaching a mentally handicapped class.

 

[KINGMOKU]

This game needs to be played with Rev's remote. Oh so badly.

 

[BioFan]

I'd like to see more video of this or at least other games than kameo and gear of war, I mean blim has 4 kameo videos, gow footage everywhere and it seems like the same demo as at E3, where are the videos for this game? or wrestling kingdom, more chrome hounds....every party...[eM], dead rising, not enough ridge racer 6 too. All these games are playable, am I the only one who cares for them?

 

[Shubit]

Funny they look just as boxy as lomac ones and plastered with an ugly low res sat photo (that partialy covers the above fact) to boot.

 

[urk]

Funny they look just as boxy as lomac ones and plastered with an ugly low res sat photo (that partialy covers the above fact) to boot.

Still leaps and bounds over that blurred mess in the Lock-on shots. It looks like they used crayola for the texturing.

 

[..pakbeka..]

if this is a 2006 game, i'm sure it'll look much better when it's released, and they've not shown the whole game, so i'm sure there must be some detailed cities and great landscape

however if this is a 2005 game, then I'm not impressed

TGS trailer in low res

[MightyHedgehog]

Too low res...and choppy. Seriously reminds me of Ace Combat...on the PSone. Need better video quality.

MASTURBATION

 

[retardboy]

CRI, make an Aero Dancing 360 plz.

Kthxbye.

LOL... You mean Sega... CRI merged with AM2. CSK got out of the gaming biz a long time ago. (Well, when they sold their Sega shares to Sammy.)

 

[DCharlie]

looked good at TGS , although installations/buildings could do with a little work.

Super smooth frame rate too

 

[xabre]

Looks alright I suppose, I really don't know what else you could do with it. The textures are pretty high rez, but they are supposed to cover a large landscape so they appear to be blurry up close, a problem all flight sims suffer from.
