Namco Bandai have released a new video for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. This video is a behind the scenes interview with the games Producer and Director, Kazutoki Kono. From the beginning of the video, he makes it clear that this isn't Ace Combat 7 as this game isn't a continuation of the old franchise. Kazutoki Kono describes this game as a reboot to the Ace Combat series and the Ace Combat style of game.
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon is an action shooting game that focuses on "Close Range Assault". this is a big difference as the previous Ace Combat games focuses more on long range combat, whereas this game focuses more on "Dog Fight" style of close range shooting. in the video its shown, as he discusses it, that they've made the planes very destructible, with wings being torn off. but a key effect is how oil flows out of a plane, much like blood would in a first person shooter. This concept is called Steel Carnage.
Kazutoki Kono finishes of by talking about how the controls were redesigned along side the games camera. the aim is to make it approachable whilst maintaining the close combat feel. he says that the combination of all this makes Ace Combat: Assault Horizon a new type of game, a new third/first person shooter.
Namco Bandai have announced Ace Combat Assault Horizon for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Ace Combat Assault Horizon is being developed by Project Aces and is currently set to come out in 2011. Namco Bandai also announce that the game will have online multiplayer.
The Press Release doesn't detail much about the gameplay in Ace Combat Assault Horizon, but the trailer they have released features a mix of both in-game action and cut-scenes. the trailer shows you'll be doing more than just piloting planes in the game as your shown using a machine gun on a helicopter. the trailer also shows the game uses new camera angles that put you in the action, as well as using Quick Time Events to pull off cinematic moves.
