I literally lol'd when that came up. I don't think we've gotten to that point in gaming yet where we see DLC as "Fuck yeah they're gonna keep supporting the game after launch!" yet.

@cbk486: That was all in-game. You could also play the demo if you want to. Unless you're PC only. I think most of the trailers have been in-game.

Games are becoming like printers? A hollow cheap husk where money is made on the overpriced refills.

That's how they started out. You played the cabinet until it ran out, then you paid to refill it.

Maybe its just a younger generation of gamers who don't know/don't remember. Remember the cabs where 1 coin = 1/2 credit?

Awesome. A game full of planes Japan can't legally own, because you know, Pearl Harbor.

I wouldn't have minded if the video went to black and went on for however long the music is. Kobayashi is so godlike.

Kids these days with their consoles. They don't even remember what it was like. Of course,then again I don't blame them since arcades charge out the ass nowadays. Any decent game costs $1 for a play, and some even cost $2.

"Loads of Post-Launch DLC!"

Wasn't Ace Combat 6 notorious for the huge amount of over-priced skins and such? I believe AC6 still holds the title for the most value-less DLC despite Gears of War 3's most recent efforts. I don't understand the thinking behind putting that in one of their trailers so close to the game's release...

 Buy the highest difficulty level for every mission. Separately.

Can't wait to fly my jet down an office corridor or into the barrel of a giant gun or something equally bat-shit and frustrating for the last mission!

This will be a great one to pick up for 20 bucks in 9 months. . . after I get sick of Gears of War 3, Skyrim, Saints Row 3, Battlefield 3, Rage, etc. etc. etc. . . .

Don't forget, you also flew down the loading track under the gun, then shot your way out the back, and then went down the barrel. The only two things I didn't like about the mission were those six flak/turret towers that would annihilate you if you didn't jam the stick in a direction as soon as you gained control, and how the gun kept loading every 5 seconds. You can't shoot the towers until near the end, and you have to line up the shot for the shell that's loading while trying not to be hit by those towers.

Also, Bartolomeo (?) Fortress around the middle of the game let you fly through tunnels under the base four times or more if you missed a target. At least they acknowledge the insanity of it "A jet?!?! Down here?!" or something like that.

I wonder if they'll have some kind of giant military monstrosity that you have to fight like the Aigion. A tank the size of Rhode Island? A ship that's an island? I hope there's something, and they don't completely tone it down for the "Real world" setting. I only really got into the series at 6, but I loved every minute of it, and I know past AC games were all kinds of crazy.

Seems to be lacking giant monsters attacking the city.
