Ace Combat: Assault Horizon

[Paroxysm]

Namco Bandai takes to the skies on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year with Ace Combat Assault Horizon, a rebirth for the franchise featuring helicopters, turret-gunning, and quick-time events. Fans hungry for a new console version of Ace Combat since the 2007 release of Ace Combat 6 on the Xbox 360 are on course to be sated next year, though it might taste a little different than they're used to.
This teaser trailer for Ace Combat Assault Horizon from Gamespot shows a massive battle taking place over the skies of Miami, indicating a departure from the fictional country combat we've grown accustomed to over the past few titles in the series. During the battle, prompts appear on-screen, urging the player to press the PS3's triangle button, performing a special maneuver and then ejecting from a damaged vehicle.
Later in the clip we're shown what looks to be helicopter piloting, as well as a segment where the player is firing a mini-gun from inside of a chopper.

For some reason I could never get in to Ace Combat games, I know they're good, I just dont do flight simulators. I might break down and give this a chance when it releases.

I dont think you could ever call Ace Combat a flight sim, they were always a bit over the op.

Between this and HAWX 2, I'm glad to see that PS3 joystick I bought will be getting a lot more use!

My #1 favorite game series returns in all glory. I can't wait!

I am a bit disappointed with the departure from fictional nations, hopefully they'll keep the super weapons and prototype jet fighters in.

It's been a long, long, looong time since I played Ace Combat. I don't know which number it was on the PS2, but I played the heck out of that one game. For some reason though, I couldn't get into the sequels and kinda lost interest. Might try to give it another go with this newest game.

PS2 had Ace Combat 4, 5, and Zero

I think I played part 4 then. It was an awesome game.

AC5 and Zero were the pinnacle of the entire series IMO.

Actually it's a arcade style flight action game.
