Ace Combat 8 On spoilers and leaks

195 Upvotes

Hey folks. As we get closer to the release of Ace Combat 8, we wanted to reiterate our spoiler policy, particularly given recent leaks.

Any spoiler-related content must be tagged clearly as a spoiler, with the title briefly describing what you're spoiling without actually spoiling it. For example, `Ace Combat 8 gameplay spoiler` in the title. And we're discouraging the posting of leaked material (ie we'll delete those posts).

If you post a leak or spoiler without tags, that's a ban.

When the game releases, we'll put up some megathreads for discussion where you can post spoilers to your heart's content.

We know everyone is excited but let's be mindful of preserving everyone's experience.

Ace Combat 8 Am I the only one who's panicking a bit?

Yes I know, this thing is separate from campaign, that's what they said in the video. I'm just a bit scared that they didn't say 'completely' separate.

I'm fine with buying overpriced DLCs like in AC7. I bought them all. I supported them because AC7 was great. But I don't want to:

  • Pay a 70 euro box price
  • Pay for the DLCs
  • Pay for the battle pass
  • Pay for the lootboxes

to 100% the campaign. I just hope they keep it completely separate.

I'm not hating on the people who think this is great. I'm super excited that you guys have your ACI2 (finally!) I just don't want to have anything to do with it.

From the AC Online trailer.

Judging by the target boxes around the "legs", it kind of looks some kind of Antlion prototype.

In all of strangereals history I did not think they would have the boldness to include bipedal movement, I just saw the online trailer and had a heart attack when I saw the first step, paused the video, took my asprin, then I saw the second step and paused cause of the second heart attack.

No longer will my vision of myself as an as be a somewhat customized JAS GRIPEN Planesona but now I will be a MAN on the GROUND and not dying cause of said GROUND.

I wonder why we've never been allowed to fly them, they've popped up as enemies in a few games now AC7 included and it's a bit of a shame we miss out.

I suppose they haven't quite figured out how to make VTOL work but that hasn't stopped them with the F35 right? Unless there's an obvious difference I'm missing I don't see why not

General Series A theory Regarding Rex

So this is a small theory I have had since the reveal of Ace combat 8, given the games setting and it being a decade off from the events of electrosphere a theory I came up with was the superweapon we would fight would be a prototype Coffin fighter, but this idea I have is a bit of a stretch but comes from the idea Jan Cope may not be fully dead, this theory I have is that the planes Rex uses utilizes a prototype system similar to the Coffin system in electrosphere and this allows him to Sync with Cope who’s consciousness is uploaded into a prototype version of the electrosphere, or I can be entirely wrong, and I likely probably will be, but I figured I’d share this idea and see what others think
