Graham Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 On the fence about this. Will need to see more/better screen shots and then wait for some reviews after release. To be honest, I'm not a fan of 99% of the non-Macross mecha in the game and think most of them are damn silly looking. That, together with the fact that Macross mecha in ACE games often have handling problems, so I'm gonna wait and see before getting all excited.

Graham Yup, as doggedly as they handle in the other games, I don't see much better here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroth Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 I like the idea of playing Another Century game while on the move, though one must wonder how it will handle on the PSP. Like Graham, will wait for better screenshots and some gameplay footage before i comment more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Graham, will wait for better screenshots and some gameplay footage before i comment more. Well, the PS2 handled ACE games fine, so in terms of hardware processing power, the PSP can handle a game like this. It'll be interesting to see how the game controls work out, considering you're losing a pair of shoulder buttons and an analog stick. Still though, I'm excited! Going to pre-order this one as soon as it's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm not worried about the processing power of the PSP. My concern is whether the VF performance will be deliberately handicapped, with slow turning, poor flight performance etc, so as to not make other lesser mecha seem too bad in comparison, the way that has seemed to happen with the recent PS3 Ace Game.

CrazyMartian Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Hmmmm... I'm a big fan of the ACE series, but I have to agree that the Macross mecha are seriously lacking in it. Gameplay videos are necessary for a final decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fly4victory Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 The preview looks nice. I have a feeling ACE:P (VF performance) will be lacking when compared to Ultimate Frontier just like ACE:R is lacking when up against Trial Frontier. I will get it, just for the Nirvash, and hope to be wrong about the VF performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiroth Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Looks just like a down graded version of the PS3 title. Not all that bad, because it'll be nice to play this game while on the move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 No Orguss? I like a couple of the non-Macross robots on the list, like the Dragonar, Layzner and maybe L-Gaim, but don't really care about the rest. When I had a brief go on the PS3 version at a store display, I thought the controls were not very intuitive and overall I didn't find it much fun...

shiroth Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) Personally this will be worth purchasing just to play as Nelly Brain. Edited November 16, 2010 by shiroth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I saw this game is now out here in Hong Kong, so I presume it's been released in Japan as well. Saw it in the Oriental 188 center in Wanchai for HK$458. Anybody bought and played it yet? I want to hear some reviews before deciding if I should buy. I'm specifically interested in how easy or hard it is to play for someone who can't read Japanese? If there are too many long and complicated menus in Japanese then I'm not interested. Something like MUF I can handle, but any more complicated, forget it. I hate having to always refer to FAQs just to play a game. Also, I'm very interested in how well (or not) the VFs handle in all three modes? If the fighter mode is crappy, flys/turns like a brick, then forget it.

Graham Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 So no Japan or HK based members got this yet? Wanna hear a review from a Macross fan's perspective and also hear how it compares gameplay-wise to MUF. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow3393 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) In my opinion, it was kinda disappointment. The controls are kinda clunky and not being able to control the camera makes navigation awkward. Maybe I will warm up to it but so far I have enjoyed it a lot less then the other ACEs I have played. It is definitely not like MUF, much slower and a lot less missles. Edited January 15, 2011 by shadow3393 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I had a go on this today and it's OK, it feels a bit like Armored Core, I think it was developed by From Software, right? It has absolutely nothing on MUF, though. I only played as the Layzner (don't care for the other mecha -- WHY IS THERE NO ORGUSS??), and I just don't feel that there is a sense of speed and/or heft to the mecha, or a sense of urgency in the gameplay. I remember when I first picked up Mac Ace Frontier and it was like a total blur for two minutes, I didn't know what happened, as if someone put my PSP on fast-forward. I'm too used to that now, there's no way I can go back to boring slow robots. It's not intrinsically bad, but not a must-buy unless you care about any of the robots. Plus the graphics on MUF seem better to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thanks for the feedback Renato. I will definitely pass on this game. Only a few days now until Macross Triangle Frontier is released anyway. Very psyched about that. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPT2000 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 i played the game for some weeks now.. I have played most of the A.C.E series(except for the first and R) It is a pretty nice sequel..grphics are OK,gameplay is alright.. Although, Macross wise..It is not a great game.. really? 5 valks only?? no Armored parts?? No YF-21?? you gotta be kidding me....no armored parts is really a shame...would be sooooo much a better game if they made it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GXPT2000 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 no that i have played Triangular Frontier...i would really say pass this game.. although graphics are not so good for the macross games, the gaming experience on Mac TF is much better... and yes, this is my first time playing a modern macross game..(others being NES and PSX games) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 and yes, this is my first time playing a modern macross game..(others being NES and PSX games) Dude, you HAVE to play "Scrambled Valkyrie" on the SNES. That one is a kick-ass, rock-hard, incredible shoot-em-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runab0ut Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just got this game as a pick-up, anyone have menu translations? Would be deeply appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 ACE is good times... but it's really better if you're a Gundam fan. I remember the YF-19 being ok in ACE 3 on the PS2, but the game is balanced to favor robots, not planes. I always wound up playing mostly the Gundams.
