I’ve always liked the Ace Combat series, the aircraft models, the story which is told after every battle, the fast action with original missions, during which the wingmens talks, contribuiting in an immersive game. Now Namco Bandai announces the next chapter Assault Horizon. The game will have single player campaign and online mode.. in the words of the developers this should be a re-birth of the franchise with a new engine. The new engine will translate in insane number of debris, spectacular explosion, more detailed cities and fast pacing action. As you can see from the video and from the amazing screenshots.
