Played through AC6 after seeing the article a few days ago. If you discount the weird story and atrocious voice acting, that was damn good good. Not sure how I feel about the close camera shenanigans and helicopter barrel rolls, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Were we watching the same trailer? Looks way crazier than any past flight game I've ever seen.

Hawx doesn't suck at all. 
Buut this looks way better, now if only the gameplay itself was exactly like show in this trailer with all the kickass camera angles it would make it even more awesome, but I doubt it.  
 
But Ace Combat is a day one for me.

@CreativeColossi: I liked it. 
At least the Multiplayer was fun for a while (with friends, of course) but the singleplayer didn't do much for me.

In my difference, my intention was not to insult HAWX, but to point out how dumb the "Twitter" message stuff is in the trailer.

Raise your hand if you know nothing of this franchise, took one look at the video screencap, and thought it was an iPhone game or something :\

The army needs to keep up to date with current events too.. 
Granted current events going on in the chopper right next to them, but still it's vital information!

@MattBodega: No you're right, but in fairness the twitter stuff is viral advertising which can either make the inclusion in the trailer more or less egregious depending on your opinion.

And it might not be a shot at HAWX, considering he is a gunner in a Blackhawk helicopter.  
 
But whatever. :D

Might not want to call out a completely unrelated game in this video, but whatevs. If you piss off Ubisoft and Tom Clancy's I guess GB would just lose a bunch of content. No biggie.

@Bionicicide: A lot of us vets got really attached to those fake countries, because they allowed the devs to really go off the wall with war scenarios that couldn't happen by modern standards. Play Ace Combat 5, and tell me you don't have at least a little bit of affection for the nation of Osea after playing that game. They also had awesome aces in 4, 5 and Zero that were pretty unique to that game's world, but not in 6.  
 
Ace Combat 6 is like that really pretty girl at high school, and when you get past her gorgeous looks and actually try to start a conversation, you find out you could have more engaging interaction with a box of rocks.

Getting shot down and needing to eject out of an F-22 is a pretty good abilitease.
 
This is now one of my most anticipated games. I convulsed and foamed at the mouth when I saw this.

@Bionicicide: There were just USAF and VVS markings on the planes, a picture of the United States from space, the city of Miami mentioned by name. 
 
Truly inconclusive.
