"What if Ulysses hit our Earth instead of Strangereal?" is the vibe I'm getting from this.

And if that's the case, then the geopolitical mess that Earth will be in is unimaginable and just may have some good potential.

Also that PS3 exclusivity is unnerving, but then again, Assault Horizon's first teaser said the same thing.

Scorps, at first look, you might be right, but theres all those stuff from Strangereal. So what if... Strangereal and "our" world fused as a result of the Ulyesses asteroid impact?

Strangereal is Earth, yes, but an alternate take on it. As for the issue of Strangereal's stuff showing up in our Earth, that's another thing to consider, yes, when taking the earlier countdown and tagline at the beginning of the trailer into thought); but then again, what's Strangereal doing with OUR stuff? Why do they have OUR planes and ships and weaponry?

We should also consider that it may be a what-if if not for the reason that the CFA-44 Nosferatu's origin(an old experimental Soviet bloc design) and name (NATO designation "Fandance") was actually reimagined for the real world setting of Ace Combat Assault Horizon.

I'd be more willing to see this as a "What-If" than an odd merging of universes because the latter seems like a last ditch move reeking of desperation to please rabid fanboys and girls. Seeing today's countries with their hands on Ace Combat's superweapons and planes in the aftermath of a world changing asteroid collision sounds awesome, considering how crazy things WILL get.

But, I guess time will tell. Either way, I'm intrigued.

I didn't mean an alternative take on it, I meant in 6, Melissa says Ulysses hit Earth (as in, our Earth, also Strangereal, meaning Strangereal is Earth. Our Earth.).

...yeah, I understand the implications of what you're saying, don't worry. I'm just saying that the Earth that Ulysses hit before wasn't necessarily our Earth. Though there is another possibility that Strangereal Earth is our future, with the Ulysses asteroid coming in and haphazardly rearranging the geography to suit the map of Strangereal we have now (doubt the plausibility of that, though), but then the question of the existence of superweapons and superplanes in accordance with the timeframe and timeline comes into effect...

...unless Ulysses hits our Earth on the same date and time as it did Strangereal Earth.

Or the numbers of superweapons and planes are given rewritten histories and designations similar to how the Nosferatu was handled, and treated as late Cold War projects which eventually saw fruition.

I'm probably setting myself up for a disappointment, if the rumor mill behind the release date and method end up being correct, but it's good to dream, I guess.

Considering that we were given a forty second trailer with split second images, I'd think so too... but if only we hadn't been shown so much in such a short amount of time.

That's definitely not possible since Ulysses impacted in 1999, and the Belkan War occurred in 1995.

Strangereal has a history dating back to the late 1800s.

I'm both aware and knowledgable of that, actually. And apart from a couple of historical differences and splits in the timeline, its history isn't so different from our own, disregarding the fact that certain allegorical conflicts take place at times different from their real world counterparts.

In any case, it's one of the many speculations that've come up. I'm personally still gunning for my initial what-if scenario.

I don't mind Free to Play, so long as it doesn't become Pay to Win. My only real issue with this is the PS3 exclusivity. I'd rather not shell out $400 to play a single game, no matter how invested I am in its success.

But otherwise, "Privateers"? More mercenary stuff? Not that I don't like more Ace Combat but they may as well call the series Merc Combat or something. They already had "UNF", for what I assume stands for United Nations Forces emblazoned on their tails, so why not just make us part of said multinational peacekeeping force? Unless Project Aces considers the UN as no-good do-nothings (like the rest of the world)?

I'm keeping my expectations in check until I know more about the game.

Interest is there, but ill reserve judgement myself. F2P? Maybe depends on how its done? As long as you cant buy something with cash that you cant get with in game currency, then im all for it.

And it looks like its gonna end up as a conglomerate story or something of the other Ace Combats. I know i heard Stonehenge from 4, i think i saw another super weapon from another Ace combat, and im pretty sure i saw that flying carrier from Ace Combat 6, unless im getting my Ace Combats mixed. And i beleive the Teaser site had a few quotes from several of the games before the title was 'revealed'.

It's a Namco Bandai f2p game. It can't be anything other than pay2Win. Just like Battle Flop, and just like Tekken whatever it's called.

Hell half the time they make more cash from selling DLC and add ons for games then they do the games itself.

You can PLAY for free, but only get 3 sorties. Then you have to pay.

Want a jet that's not the starting default one? pay up.

Want boosters? pay up.

If they do it like Sega did PSO2, it wouldn't be that bad?
And for Free to Play, isn't it a better idea to release it on as many platform as possible?
