Video Gaming News - March 2004
San Jose, CA (March 25, 2004) - Namco announced today the upcoming
release of Ace Combat 5, shipping exclusively for the PlayStation 2 in Fall
2004.
From Namco:
The newest installment is the most explosive title yet in the unparalleled
ACE COMBAT series. Developed by Namco Limited in Japan, ACE COMBAT 5 is set to
soar as Namco’s fifth installment of the Air Combat/Ace Combat series.
Introducing Wingman Command, ACE COMBAT 5 is the premier air combat game
combining ultra-realistic graphics and dog fighting with the sheer excitement of
commanding a squadron, knowing that their fate is in your hands.
“There is an incredible expectation of quality associated with the ACE COMBAT
series,” said Garry Cole, executive vice president of sales for Namco Hometek
Inc. “More than one million people have enjoyed ACE COMBAT®04 and our
development team has been hard at work to make sure those fans have a great
sequel to look forward to. With a compelling storyline, unbelievably realistic
graphics and great new exclusive features, ACE COMBAT 5 is the whole package.”
With more than 50 different licensed planes and an intense storyline extending
over 30 missions, players will be put to the ultimate test, including air-to-air
combat, air-to-ground fighting, air-to-sea assaults, rescue, recon and much
more. Incorporating ultra-realistic beautifully rendered in-game graphics and
cinematics along with unparalleled game play; ACE COMBAT 5 goes a step beyond
the traditional air combat gaming experience.
One of the exciting new features to the sequel includes Wingman Command, where
players can issue directives to their wingmen mid-mission to carry out
coordinated group attacks. Additionally, the in-game radio communications with
the squadron and enemies adds to the realism and intensity of the dynamic battle
sequences.
It is September 23, 2010 on distant Sand Island, a small island in the Ceres
Ocean that divides the two superpowers, Osea and Yuktobania. An entire military
base is on red alert--the 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron intercepted an
unidentified aircraft and the entire squadron was decimated. You are a fighter
pilot, part of the new squadron that’s been called into action to protect your
nation of Osea. Now, the story begins to unfold.
