Why Ace Combat Will NOT Receive Remakes

[@activace]

Before someone crucifies me, yes...I spelt licensing wrong. Major typo, thanks quarantine. Lemme know your thoughts!

[@acewyvern3489]

ACX would already be enough for me... AC04 and ACZ...hmm IF they make it. What if they put the same planes as in AC7/8 nobofy will miss the A-10A if we have the C, and nobody will miss the F-1 i think. They could reuse a lot of stuff, like they did in AC7 with the F-117 in M12. (For those who dont know: they reused player models from ACAH for the enemy F-117s) I personally would be fine if they remove some planes. Idk how it is exactly with the licenses, but can't they use one license for 2 games? Like they have the F-22, so cant they put this model/etc into 2 differemt games?

[@acewyvern3489]

So my personal idea would be: Same aircraft as in 7/8 and all Original Planes which X had. I'm personally waiting for the customization from AH, but i think the licensing would be Expensive as hell. So we dont know and this is my idea. Who knows what we'll get. But i honestly would like if they fix some minor stuff in 7, like the canards which move the wrong way. Ik the 37 would move the canards in a cobra like that, but the S.-Wyvern moves the right way.

[@karios9635]

Here is my question. If they put 4, 5, and zero into one game and the license the aircraft, could they count as just one license for all the games? For example, the f15. If they license it, would that count as a license for all the games if they were to be in one game that contains 4, 5, and zero?

[@activace]

More than likely yes, because they’re selling 3 games as one. I think that’s why making a “collectors edition” of the holy trinity would be a smart move.

[@acewyvern3489]

@@activace Hmm... What if they make Zero, but put 5 and 04 in. It will be one game. The PS4 can handle it and the PS5 will handle it either way. The question is: What would be more likely and logical? A HD Remaster like AC5 on PS4 Or a remake based on (for example) Infinity's engine? I'd say remaster and I'd personally be 100% fine with it. I mean Cmon. AC04 with encreased Distance of sight and without the ps2 blur.... Would be beautiful AF....

The whole thing about licensing makes an AC3 remake more valuable to the company because of the number of fictional aircraft it contains compared to the others

Great work, the licensing issue is pretty much the only reason for me, but remaking a game also has the huge risk of displeasing older fans. I disagree with 3 being the hardest to remake though, what they spent on acquiring the licenses for planes would be mostly saved in that game, and they could put that money into manpower. I think they just don't wanna touch anything that far into the future anymore.

As much as it sucks if we do not get a remaster of the holy trinity (which for me also includes X and 6) I still can play them through emulation anyways. So it's not a total loss IMO. As far as aircraft licensing is concerned. They could do what Project Wingman has done and give the real life aircraft fictional names. I would be fine with that.

[@mrandrossguy9871]

As long as I can play the "emulated" games in my living room on the Big Screen with multiple controllers yeah it's fine with me

[@dragonandavatarfan8865]

Yea sure we gladly have emulation but even they sadly have their limits. For example, AC04 in particular was a pain to emulate with you having to patch ur ISO, play on older pcsx2 builds and mess around in the settings etc (most of them have seem to be fixed in the most latest updates for which i am forever grateful to the pcsx2 dev team) and of course AC6 which still suffers from many bugs and glicthes on the emulator and it is pretty much mandatory that you get a old xbox 360 console if you wanna experience the game in its full glory.

[@greyscar687]

They just need to remaster and HD ace combat from 1-zero and release it as a full price item. They'll get their money back and then some. They have the code already just need to re render everything using 7s engine.

[@badasstasticusbadass4908]

Option 1: They can make remakes of the holly trinity, changing a few aspects of the story, and changing some of the aircrafts in order to avoid some of the license costs, however, they would have to expend money at the long run, since they will have to bring up the old voice actors, or hire new ones, PA is a small game developer, and..... *sigh* it pains me to say it, but Ace combat is a niche franchise that only a portion of the whole gaming comunity plays, so is not like they have a big revenue. HOWEVER! the gamble of expend money and resources on those remakes could make them gain some good profit, since theres new people coming in to the franchise thanks to AC 7 and wants to know more about Strangreal and their stories. Option 2: They can make Re-masters of the holly trinity, but not just a simple HD port thing, i mean, making a full upgrade to the graphics using the Unreal engine, plus recreating some of the cutscenes (maybe not in AC Zero) a good example of how to make a remaster, is how the Coalition developed Gears of War Ultimate Edition, the game literally looks brand new, while just being the same as the original one, the only issue is that they will have to pay for the licenses of the aircrafts portrait in those games, find someone competent enought to make a good job and not some crappy HD thing, and also pay the voice actors since their voices are going to be used again. One way or another... it's expensive... i guess this is the reason of why Project Wingman decided to make copies of the real life aircrafts in order to avoid those licenses -w-

I am sad that Ace combat is not more widely known. Yes It probably could not compete with a franchise like Mario or Call of Duty, but it is an excellent game. I understand why it is not widely known as its only a specific type of game, and it is more challenging than a game like Mario, but Ace Combat deserves better. The Music is top tier, the game looks amazing, especially 7, the Story is incredible (mostly), and it is super unique. it doesn't even have any real competitors, the only one being Project Wingman, but that itself is loved by Ace Combat, and it was made by Ace Combat fans, not a company trying to compete. overall Ace combat deserves more attention, and I hope it will achieve even more sucess

[@sekphejul4863]

The problem with the licensing argument is that it kind of falls apart when you consider one thing: the existence of Project Wingman. Project Wingman has all the same planes as the Ace Combat games (except of course the fictional ones) but the three-man team behind that game never got sued by Lockheed-Martin or any of the other companies after releasing their game. This is because the likeness of a plane isn't copyrightable, only its name and schematics. The Planes in PW all have different names from their real-life equivalents. So all Project Aces would have to do is change the names of the planes in those games and remove all references to their real-world counterparts in the descriptions, and there wouldn't be any issue. The fact that the games haven't been remade means the issue lies somewhere else, likely in the amount of work they'd have to do to remake the games. Going off of how long it took before AC7 came out and how it got delayed twice, I assume it's a combination of corporate meddling from Bandai Namco, and just plain bad management of team resources in Project Aces.

The thing with the 'Holy Trinity' is that... the master copies _went up like kindling_ a long while back, meaning that they have to start _from scratch_ for a remake. You heard that right. Basically, the same problem prevents Gearbox from remaking Homeworld Cataclysm/Emergence. Outside of the audio masters (the creators of Homeworld had one company do the audio work and they kept their own copy of the masters, meaning that Cata's audio work is available), everything else is _gone_ and hanging out with Elvis and Hoffa.

[@NinjaSpecter]

I don't understand, for the life of me, how remaking Ace Combat 3 is more expensive than remaking 4, 5, and Zero when licensing seems to be the big issue here. ACE3 features mostly fictional variants of real-life aircraft with names that are not even real variants and more original aircraft than any other game in this franchise so licensing is out of the question. Cutscenes, VA, music, and others? Well, you'd have to remake those for AC04, AC5, and ACZ as well ON TOP of the licensing. I mean, they got licensing for more aircraft than ever with Infinity, even going as far as getting the license for the Tornado. In my opinion, that contradiction just means they simply don't want to touch ACE3 even with 10 feet pole, perhaps they perceive it to be too "out there" as if we were in 1999 still; yes, the concepts ACE3 explored might have been too ahead of its time but the concept of sublimation, internet taking over and corporatocracy all over entertainment right now, especially in videogames. AC2 sold even fewer copies than ACE3 and they still remade it. It's a matter of willingness to do it, not bureaucracy, money, or time.

There are 3 ways they can handle the holy trinity; 1. Pay the fees for the planes. It keeps their bridges intact for future use and keep everyone happy but costs money (Though there is a way around this) 2. Ask for a break on the fees. I'm no legal beagle, but PA has some relationships with plane manus, just ask them to cut you a break. Have had planes with copyright since AC4. 3. Just rename them or use military terms for them. It is the easiest but you might upset some parties involved. There are more workarounds for VAs and other stuff. Project Aces needs to realize that they have options on the table to use.

If we're getting anything remade, it'll *_probably_* be 3: No licensing costs because every single aircraft is either fictional or some fictional variant.

I would honestly rather they go back and re-visit the _eras_ of the previous games but with new stories and protagonists. An AC04 counterpart from the Erusean, or a different ISAF perspective would be amazing, we never got to see the siege of Los Canas for example. An AC6 spinoff set in the Estovokian Civil War would be literally the perfect setting for a whole new main series entry right there, a four way free for all civil war where all factions use superweapons and fighter jets? are you kidding? Zero WISHES it was that crazy. Speaking of Zero, the Belkan War is a huge conflict you could get a lot more stories out of, as was the Circum-Pacific War. Plus, there has been talk around the community about perhaps making another prequel game, set earlier in the timeline more around the 1970s or 1980s, to be honest all of these sound like better ideas than rehashing what are already essentially perfect games... If you want to play the PS2 trilogy so bad, idk man, get a PS2? they're not exactly rare or expensive, and idk about other parts of the world but here in Canada copies of Ace Combat are not very hard to come by. Yeah it sucks we can't play them in 4k, with polished textures and more detailed maps, but I'd rather play them as-is than see AC04's campaign butchered with AC7 style arcade physics, or see the aircraft tech tree chopped up and sold as micro-DLC.

PSA: It's still possible (albeit hard) to buy the PS4 version of Ace Combat 5 (it's bundled with a version of Ace7). Plays great, and it's upscaled.

Hears about ace combat coming to phone. Vader: VAT!!!

7:15 would love to see them all remade on gamemaker studio and blender

[@AtrociousAK47]

man If we could just have 5 but with the flight mechanics and graphics of 7, that would be amazing. 7 was good but felt like a watererd down retelling of 5, kinda like how SW the force awakens was to a new hope, with some familiiar characters, setting and other elements for that nostalgia factor, but not a whole lotta substance beyond that. in 5 you had a huge number of planes to choose from and a wide variety of missions to use them in, with wingmen that were not only competent enough to survive and kill things on their own, but also highly memorable. when Kei "edge" nagase got shot down at the end of a mission and we had to mount a search and rescue mission, I cared, and was overjoyed when sea goblin finally found her. when Alvin H. "chopper" Davenport went down in the stadium, I was saddened by it. and when I saw the USS kestrel sink below waves as the captain watched us fly toward the capital for one final operation as he hummed "journey's end", I cared. I never cared about any of my wingmen or supporting characters from 7, didnt help that most of them were killed off after only one mission, even count, who was the only one to survive the game and first to start singing praise about me, wasnt all that likable, and still felt useless. 7 had way fewer planes with no ability choose which ones my wingmen flew, less mission variety with no branching lines that changed what missions you did according to certain choices you'd made, and overall the story felt like it had way less at stake toward the end of it. it's a real shame the remaster/port of 5 that was bundled with 7 was only for the playstation version like the VR missions, and were left out of the steam pc release. guess i'll have to settle for an emulator if I want to play 5 again and dont wanna dust off my old fat ps2 and physical disk version.

Well, my Ace Combat Collection of my dreams is not an HD remastered Collection like N.Sane Trilogy or Reignited Trilogy, but something like the Kirby's Dream Collection, you can play *6* Ace Combat games which are: Air Combat, Ace Combat 2, Ace Combat 3 (maybe it will be finally localized in english or other languages, maybe), Ace Combat 4, Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat Zero. Then there are extras such as interviews with the developers, original artworks and a place where you can listen the OST of all 6 games of the collection. Then there's an extra game, which is like the New Challenge Mode from Kirby's Dream Collection, but it celebrates the franchise's Anniversary.

Monkey's paw: ILCA does a remake... But it's all chibi.

[@cipher0325]

Demon Lord rage mode at full power

[@clydemarshall8095]

I don’t want remakes, I just want ports, which could easily be termed remasters. They ported AC5 to the PS4 so clearly they can port a game they already paid the licenses on. EDIT: Okay, I didn’t realize there were stipulations on the AC5 port

[@SilverHand-fu1jn]

If you guys keep praising ace7 as the best. Im glad to not play the other ace. Assult horizon is my fav. Not as an Ace fan but Single player game gamer

[@VladimirKrshunov]

Aren't AC3 remaking gonna be cheaper in case of fully fictional vehicle-park? + COFFIN-interface is the way to not draw cockpits.

[@teamdoghouse82880]

Dude I get so pissed at the thought they will not do it. What's to lose? They try to sue us for copyright violations for emulating, pirating, and using any other method to play these old games, so why not just profit off it by doing current generation remakes/remasters?

[@RedShocktrooperRST]

My thought is that if the Holy Trinity comes back, it'll be as full remakes, not remasters, in the case of planes that can't or won't be licensed by their owning companies, and likely modernize the levels (i.e. compare Mission 12 of AC04 with the mission from Infinity it inspired and tell me just that gap in their in-house development doesn't leave 04 Stonehenge looking anemic). Now with this in mind, any resources put into a full redevelopment of 04, 5 and Zero is going to basically be equal to a development cycle of a new game.

[@devin_plays5154]

Nice video, keep it up man!

[@activace]

Thank ya boyo :]]]]

[@mikeymontuy4520]

Ace combat assault horizon my favorite just cause of that first mission, it showed me how sick the f22 was and how awesome the fighter jets are

[@TheMoonShepard]

Would going Project Wingmans route be enough Renaming the jets?

[@Stinger522]

As cool as it would be to receive a remake of the holy trinity Ace Combat games, I think it's better that we don't after watching this video.

[@genericnamehere7602]

Ace Combat needs to reach back into the past. A WW2 era game set in the past of their Strangereal universe.

[@irExron]

The only thing i could see them doing is the remakes IN Ace Combat 8, although that would probably make it release in 2060

[@konohamaru77]

This is like need for speed fan expecting underground and mostwanted want to remastered

[@icat0753]

Ironically, electrosphere with alot of its futury planes and aestetic So its awefully sad 3 probably wont get a remake

[@zero5374]

Even if it's just a modern port for modern consoles, I would be satisfied

[@M2xim]

I miss Ace Combat Zero. I tried to play it with an emulator but playing the PS2 version is hurting my eyes. xD
