"Call of Duty in the air is underselling it." That's the best quote they could use?

I've been somewhat of an Ace Combat fan over the past years. But after playing the demo for this latest edition, I'm no longer interested.

Might this give this one a try after the price drops a bit. Demo was decent, but didn't push me to a first day purchase.

"Call of Duty in the air is underselling it" 
 
is probably the weirdest line I've ever seen in a launch trailer. I mean, what? Different genre, publisher, developer, country of origin, audience, ... Hell, "Call of Duty in the air" would probably make me want the game less if I hadn't been dying for some AC since finishing 0 the day it came out.

Company's really have to stop releasing launch trailers before the game's even out. Anyway, I already have this pre-ordered 'cause why the hell not I guess.

You just named both the things I HATE about the Ace Combat series! But I bet those will be included somewhere.

I love jets and Japanese America. The theme from previous trailers gave me chills. Sign me up, I don't care about those terrible ground textures.

I will be surprised if this game's single player story doesn't end in either a trench/tunnel run, a super weapon smashing, or a duel with an enemy ace that cheats in one way or another. I will probably love it regardless.

@PrioritySeven: But those have to be in there. It wouldn't be an Ace Combat game without them.

And man, I am stoked for this game. Looks like the usual AC story only on earth instead of a fictional place.

Im actually a bit sad that this AC doesnt take place in their fictional world. I always dug the fact that the nations developed super weapons in preparation for an asteroid and the conflicts arose out of it all. Now thats its boring ol' earth, meh. No giant airships and laser towers here. Meh.

Looks great, but cutscenes are so Japanese it hurts to watch.

This is one of the better Ace Combat trailers. I love the series, but the trailers have always been a load of nonsense.

I hated the Ace Combat 6 story. Game was very fun though, so it was pretty easy to suffer through the cinematics inbetween.

Huh, it's the Americans and Russians now? Let's hope Project Ace has the subtlety and tact to treat and depict two such important and culturally diverse super-powers in a--

"VE ARR RASSIANS, GENERAL LEWHATEVER. NOT NATO."

Well fuck.

Well at least the Russians and Americans are allies in this, even if a bit reluctantly. The bad guy ace is a Russian ex-military though. Also "Conspiracy" so...yeah.

I've never been a big fan of the Ace Combat games, but this looks pretty cool. However, I can't tell if that's just because this is a well cut together trailer or if the game itself is actually good.

I always loved the overly melodramatic tone of all the Ace Combat games but I think I'll wait for reviews before touch this one though.
