Terra Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 The trophy card says Squadron but not the title. I’d be down to buy this since it’s the only Ace Combat game i enjoyed! Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virdeborn Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's a pre-order bonus for Ace Combat 7, I believe. It's the PS2 version, emulated just like other PS2 games on PS4 (Wild Arms 3, Jak and Daxter etc). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodigard Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 and by the looks of the trophy list it's going to be glorious. tough call on whether to start this or AC7...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totallycrushed Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Not a remaster. It's a PS2 emulation. EDIT: About the trophy card and title, I guess they couldn't make a choice between the NA and EU titles Edited January 15, 2019 by totallycrushed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Katt Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) Not remaster, not PS2 emulation. PS4 port. https://www.dualshockers.com/ace-combat-7-ps4-preorder-bonus-not-remaster/ Also, you CANNOT buy this game after the game is released, pre-order bonus only. If you want this game, act fast.

I don't see any online trophies in AC5, so I'd start with the 7 one, while the playerbase is the most active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bummer for those that could miss the window of pre-order, on the flip side, I’m ultra happy that I pre-ordered it today! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkSoleride Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Only reason i pre-ordered AC7 was for this bonus too and i guess to get those MP trophies out the way for AC7 when the MP community is active 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it will be similar to those other games which were also pre-order exclusive but surprise surprise the publishers decided to sell them after a given time: Final Fantasy XV --> A KIng's Taile South Park: Fractured But Whole --> Stick of Truth Not to forget a game like CoD: Infinite Warfare where you were able to purchase a standalone Modern Warfare a few months later. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited Bandai Namco US's office and they informed me in no uncertain terms that they would not be able to sell AC5 in this form afterward. Hopefully you're right and that changes -- before I was told that, I was suspecting the same situation as Modern Warfare -- but they assured me it wasn't just marketing speak, there were actual issues with selling the game in the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's true then I wonder why they decided to do a port of the game. Seems like a stupid business diecision to be honest. Why would someone port a game if they can't guarantee to refinance the costs. And I don't think that either a port of AC5 or AC6 (for the X1) would ensure a higher pre-order rate.

APCGrayLocked Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 yeah yeah, pre order exclusive. Sure, like King's Tale etc etc (already mentioned by Crimson Idol). Platinum speaking, it will be hard probably and that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you get tens of thousands of extra preorders but it was probably enticing to many. I almost preordered the game myself because of it but i'been spending too much on games lately.

Goldfire Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) So I had an interesting one. My game store (EB Games Australia) sent me an email this morning with the pre-order code that contained AC5/F4E/Theme/3 skins/F104C/8 Emblems as they apparently weren't included with the Strangereal edition (their words, not mine). A few hours later my delivery arrived of the Strangereal edition, and of course, that also included the pre-order code for AC5/F4E/Theme/3 skins/F104C/8 Emblems. The only thing I got as an extra from the Strangereal edition was the Season Pass (and obviously the Arsenal Bird/Pin/Patch/Artbook). So, I've essentially ended up with two sets of the pre-order bonus listed above. I've passed one of the codes on to a friend. How good is that artbook though? I read through a bit of it whilst the game was installing and it's an excellent read. Edited January 18, 2019 by Goldfire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TesseractE Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Played the PS4 port of AC5 earlier tonight and it's kinda strange. The CG sequences and gameplay are in full 16x9, and triggered Supersampling on my PS4 Pro, so they may be displaying in full 4k. It was buttery smooth... Noticeably less quality than AC7, of course, but still LOADS better than the original. The strange part is that all of the menus and briefing screens are in 4:3 with the sides blanked out. Not 100% why this is the case, but at least the important stuff is full resolution. So it's definitely NOT like the other PS2 remasters like Dark Cloud or Wild Arms 3. Bandai Namco DID put some extra work into the CG and Gameplay to make them buttery smooth and full screen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloGrimoire Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Just thought I let you know... I pre-ordered my copy on Amazon on Wednesday. It arrived today, but it didn't come with the pre-order bonus as it was advertised. Letting Bandai Namco's customer service people know now. Get back soon. Never mind. Amazon emailed the pre-order code and it works. Is it too hard to add a sheet of paper with the code in the game case?

It certainly shows the EU name on the console itself. Edited January 19, 2019 by dell9300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
