Project Aces Manager Risitas responds to DLC comments

[@MrLemmy82]

I spent a lot more money to get the XFA-27 in Infinity than I'll spend to get these three planes in AC7. I'm just hyped to see these beauties in AC7's gorgeous graphics, and if I can support Project Aces at the same time to ensure the series has a future, all the better!

[@skydragongaming7840]

And Once again. What can i say Except, I agree with you. Your comment Nailed it.

[@hwaitinghoshino]

I never got to play Infinity and fly the XFA-27 and Shinden in a "regular" Ace Combat flight model. Also for the people in the community that did not get to fly the CFA-44 owing to its X360 exclusivity. So the thought that one will be able to experience it in AC7 soon, is like a dream come true for many of us.

[@MrMorganEnjoyer]

Will it be in the season pass?

[@SlyAceZeta]

No, it will not be in the Season Pass. You got the $30 of content you paid $25 for.

[@hwaitinghoshino]

@@SlyAceZeta If i had a dollar every time someone asked "will this be in season pass" and "will it be free", we can buy the new DLC many times over.

[@RoguexGuardian]

Finally an important person in the community points this out. This has been going on since release. These "fans" will never be happy. And then the people asking for Co-Op to this day... good grief.

[@SlyAceZeta]

Asking for co-op is one thing, which I've been doing since before release. _Demanding_ it is beyond nonsensical, especially since AC7 is clearly feature-complete. They're adding content, not features. Co-op may come in a future game. We should keep asking for it, but not by expecting it to be added in AC7.

[@Rigel_6]

To be honest, before AC7 released, the community was much smaller and did not bitch about everything as much. But, after it released and was well received, it brought a lot more players to the series. Which is good. But a lot more players means there is a lot more entitled babies or just... ugh, the way our community discord devolved after that point with, well, degeneracy... was not really what I was looking for

The average gamer thinks developers have tools that do everything for them. But a game like Ace Combat 7 isn't a Mario Maker level. You don't just drop enemies into an environment and send it. That bitch gets more and more complicated every time you add something, and then all of that requires rigorous testing. The devs have lost two friends in the last year. They're all dealing with lockdown. They're probably just happy that they still have a job and can still work from home. Life has been as hard on them as it has been for us. They aren't going to churn out another Matias Torres in six months.

If you see this and feel 'attacked', you SHOULD feel that way. Also, on the whole 'aircraft are easier to make so should be cheaper' thing? Those aircraft being easier to make means charging that amount to make profit on the amount of extra work that goes into the mission DLC. A skin pack can theoretically be done by just 1, maybe 2 people. A texture artist, and if implementation is complicated, a programmer. A plane DLC can theoretically be done by 3 people, none of whom have to communicate. A modeler, a texture artist, and a programmer. If you need new sounds, that's 4. A mission DLC requires a lot more people, who all have to communicate directly to get it done, with more money having to be sunk in for hiring voice work, paying the additional people that have to work on it, and depending upon the initial license, possibly purchasing additional licensing rights for real-world aircraft. To say nothing of being just much more complex to work with, or the extra hours required to finish it compared to a smaller offering. Guys, these aren''t predatory lootboxes in a live service game. What Project Aces is doing, is what microtransactions, if they are going to exist, SHOULD BE. Small pieces of NEW content sold at a very reasonable price.

[@regardlessrampage]

for real. My only beef with AC7 has been the state of multiplayer, as it's been neglected completely since launching nearly a year before Covid hit. I don't expect anything from anybody right now, but that first year of support is critical for a game's longevity. AC7's multiplayer is still a bare bones affair with no interesting modes or new maps with every player flying the same planes because there is no way to be competitive with anything but the F-22 or a purchased plane. I fear AC7's multiplayer is going to end like MGSV's where there's only 50 of us playing the same levels with the same music in the same planes bored to tears but having literally nothing else to scratch that particular itch. hopefully when Covid is brought under control and the world starts to get back to normal Project Aces will put something out for the very real fans who want to see multiplayer's potential realised.

tl;dr Imma gladly pay for the new planes because we got plenty of new content for free or with the last dlc pack. Here's my thoughts on major upgrades : When it comes to multiplayer I'm happy to let them develop a better system for the next mainline game. I missed the boat on this one and I'm okay with that at this point. As for New missions, what could you possibly do that would live up to the bombastic standards of the Alicorn saga? I cant think of anything that could top that, maybe a Mihaly based "VR mission" mode or something but i don't think it would be that thrilling. The only thing I really REALLY want that I think would be easy because it already existed would be a custom paint color add on for all the skins. AH had it and it was one of the few positive marks that game could get.

[@SlyAceZeta]

Not easy. It existed, but it was in a different engine. They would have to remake that system and redo _every single skin_ to support it. Not easy at all.

[@Snakenator_WZ]

Long time fan of Ace Combat here (since AC4 on PS2), just more of a lurker rather than an active community member, but this subject really frustrates me (along with all of us true fans). I'm guessing these "fans" have come from the AAA game environment, where companies rake in six-figure (or more?) earnings as their games are in mainstream popularity. That makes a huge difference as those companies can afford to release free content because they earn so much money from high sales-volume. Also, they probably have hundreds of employees that can churn-out content in a relatively short time. PA bless their souls are probably not selling that many copies of the game now as its almost two years since release, which means lower overall income. Therefore additional DLC has to be paid for and takes so much time to make, I wish people would realise this. But no, the fact they've been so spoiled with free content means their entitlements are more important than the livelihoods of PA's hard-working, amazing team.

[@miburoushi]

I started playing AC series with AC2 and AC3 as a kid back in the PSone era. Then our family couldn't afford getting another console so I sadly missed out on AC4. Luckily I still got to play AC5 and ACZ on a friend's PS2. After that life got in the way and gaming only became a somewhat distant interest for me. That is until last year when I decided I wanted to get back to it and got myself a PS4, with AC7 Deluxe Edition being one of the first games I instantly bought. Was so very happy I finally could play AC series again after so many years and I thought the game and all the DLCs were extremely well done. It got the soul of the old AC series but with all the polishes you could expect from this era's console. It was at this point I decided to keep supporting the devs, they know what they're doing. So when the latest DLC with the freaking XFA-27 was announced it was a no-brainer. The ACZ skins were just icing on the cake. I have zero knowledge on game development so I don't know how hard or easy it is to make new planes etc. But for me this isn't a matter of that. It's about reliving my older days playing a a game that sparked my fondness for this series. I'd say that alone worth the money. If you think it's not worth it, then don't buy it. It's definitely not for you. As simple as that.

It was made as a callback to Ace 4 where you are essentially a solo pilot who doesn't need their squad and you unleash pure chadness on Erusea.

There are a lot of things to consider, and one is finishing detail and touches. Those are required to make the missions look good, and they who complained about that should think twice.

[@matthewmondragon2074]

As spanish talking I laughted anyways XD

[@FratMingo]

Only Ace game I've played is seven but that hasn't stopped me from looking into all the stuff about the series and ill gladly buy another dlc pack to support the devs!

[@jaxshake2077]

I’ll pay up for the CFA-44 Nosferatu and I’ll get 2 extra planes and some skins.

[@lockheedhenesy3899]

People are asking more. Come on people your asking too much your giving them a hard time

[@Jester8492]

I dont mind giving more cash for extra planes or content. If it means that the money I spend on it will go to the team of Project Aces then I'll gladly buy it all in bulk. I want to see more from this amazing series be it little things like free skin updates or a new announcement of a AC game. It showed me a new world with superweapons, superjets and sci fi plots with conspiracies. Although my introduction was from Infinity, Im glad I found this series.

[@SoleEpochMultipod3592]

Building something perfect takes time and money so be patient, good will come to those who wait

[@alfredwinchesterjr]

I dunno what I missed but I liked the game, liked the dlc missions and the only reason I have the dlc aircraft is from buying some kind of bundle, cause otherwise it seems like filler. Then again I only use like 2 planes when I play the game and don't understand the mechanical advantages between all the others besides the a10 not being a plane for dogfighting. I'm pretty satisfied with how things are, hoping for more difficulty later that would justify learning more stuff.

[@Razeacc]

I don't wanna sound entitled, but I'm just genuinely curious if the new DLC is a part of the current season pass or if it'll be its own thing. I haven't been in the gaming community long enough to experience a game having more than 1 season pass, so idk if multiple passes are normal. Hopefully you guys don't get mad, please qwq

[@MrLemmy82]

Some games do have multiple season passes, generally, the content tied to it is referred to as a "season". In this case, the first season pass covered the 3 ADF planes and the 3 missions, as advertised from the start, so this new DLC will be separate from it and have to be purchased separately. I hope that clears things up. :)

[@SlyAceZeta]

What might help you out to understand this is looking at Bandai Namco's other titles. They do, in fact, have multiple Season Passes. I don't think we're going to get a "Season Pass 2", I think it's just going to be called the Original Aircraft Series Pack or something like that, but yeah that's basically what it'll be.

[@WWTwoGuy]

Honestly I have no problem paying for dlc. One day I hope they remaster older A.C. games like 4-Zero but I'm not holding my breath in anticipation, because that would be a massive project with a lot of people involved. Frankly I'm happy with what they've been doing during these hard times.

[@mtallmen184]

I will still pay any amount of money necessary for Idolm@ster skins

[@Slender_Man_186]

I certainly wish the DLC were free, in a perfect world they probably would be, everything would be. But this isn’t a perfect world, and I certainly understand why they’re charging for them after the failure that was AH, and the money pit that was Infinity that nearly killed the series.

[@SlyAceZeta]

lol Infinity saved the series 😂

[@Tigermoto]

I've only played one or two Ace combat games as I prefer simulation stuff. But Ace Combat games are incredibly beautiful and fun. Why wouldn't DLC cost money? Graphics take time and time worked by people costs money. I mean I throw £60+ for one plane in DCS World, and I get that there's a lot more detail in that plane. But I'm paying 20x more for it. Hell... I might just buy AC7.

[@MrPeanut624]

S-Rank meme, dude.

[@cybrgames3537]

Everyone is so used to games like MW, GTA, and and many more games having “free” DLC and forgot how they were before. Those games that have the free DLC Clare only able to have those DLCs are because of their currency microtransactions. As far as I’m aware of, there’s no currency to be bought in AC7. I really don’t have to worry about having to buy the next content since I did get the Season Pass

[@SlyAceZeta]

No, you DO have to purchase the Original Aircraft Series if you want those aircraft and skins because the Season Pass is already complete. You already got $30 of content for the Season Pass's $25 price tag.

[@spartanx9293]

1:22 oh I'm asking for missions but not asking them to be free I'd be perfectly fine with paying though I can understand if they can't make them pandemic and alll and I paid for the other aircraft and skin packs

[@joshuaxiong8377]

Man, at least you all don't have FRAME DATA and BOWLING as your DLC... ugghhhh....

[@metalhatty4690]

I agree people that say dlc planes should be free are dumb, but the idea of a multiplayer updating being paid dlc is just dumb since it could cause a split in the player base between those who bought it and those who didnt. It already takes a bit of time to get enough people in a lobby to play (at least on ps4) that something that could cause it to take even longer could drive away more people from playing multiplayer

[@SlyAceZeta]

That's not the problem. The problem is expecting a humongous update to multiplayer in the middle of a pandemic, and for all that work to be free when it's such a massive undertaking, so it's realistically not going to happen until the next game.

[@fberdf]

Actually asking for PAID remasters versions makes sense, but everything takes time. What i'l never get it, is why ac5 was a timed and exclusive bundle opportunity, I really wanted to revist that game. Asking for free planes is pure nonsense, but they could add enormous ground attack paid missions on the long-run.

[@Alexander9924]

Imagine how Remastered Shattered Skies would look

[@fberdf]

@@Alexander9924 They can use the AC7 engine, and the visuals just need to look good (like a PS3 game). Crysis has got a new remaster, it´s from 2007 and looks almost the same as the 2013 remaster. They could do the same for Earlier Ace Combat games.

[@turtleboi8492]

Tbh, I was ready to drop $15 for all the new jets and skins anyway lmao, I didn't expect it to be free, that season pass ended a LOOOOONG time ago.

[@chasaroonie9339]

The people who disliked are the kiddies. And they *should* feel attacked

[@sierra597]

Man, I just wanna know when they're gonna release the DLC pack.

[@Gilicus18793420blazingfury]

Expect them releasing it this mid-October to early November.

[@GiveMeSomeRounds]

Some people are just next level cheapskate. I remember an argument in a trailer for the game back when the first batch of DLCs was released on Steam, and people were already cracking the game codes to get all the content for no charge at all AND still have the gall to try and justify the piracy because "hurr Project ACES shouldn't make us wait for the DLCs if they're already coded into the game". Of course. Being impatient = you deserve free stuff, just because. Amirite? So upset with this kind of attitude, honestly.

[@Massakre8492nd]

I have more than 100 bucks ready. I'll buy base game for my xbox too, just to buy dlcs again

[@TailAbNormal]

The only problem I have with this DLC is that there's no solid release date, and personally I would've paid just to get the Nosferatu.
