I'm unironically very glad we're getting another melodramatic super unrealistic Ace Combat game. Despite being a massive plane nerd I much prefer Ace Combat to something like DCS. First person cutscenes are interesting, I just hope that they don't screw it up like they did with Assault Horizon.

The war-crime-o-meter was an interesting game mechanic as well

I played a ton of 4, 5, and Zero. The plot and storytelling of 4 were very cool, and 5 is a fun and believable political melodrama of presidents under the control of an ultra hawkish illuminati.

Zero had great mechanics tho, I think the best gameplay in the series was on the PS2 and Zero was the pinnacle of that.

Didn't realize how much I miss having a PS2 thonk-cri
