Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but Assault Horizon takes it too far.
If Modern Warfare was a rock star, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon would be its psycho groupie stalker. Assault Horizon doesn’t just love Modern Warfare, it wants to be Modern Warfare. Like Buffalo Bill pretending to be a woman by wearing a suit made of skins in Silence of the Lambs, the latest Ace Combat is unsettling in its desire to be something it’s not, which is a real shame because underneath that hand-stitched COD suit is a solid game just begging to be recognized.
The latest behind the scenes trailer focused on the realism of the game's graphics.
The DLC will include a new aircraft.
The new Ace Combat game has only been out for a week and a half but it's already receiving downloadable content next Tuesday. On October 25, 2011, a new fictional "state of the art" aircraft called the ASF-X Shinden II will become available, as well as two new aircraft colors. The F-14D Super Tomcat will get a "Halloween Pumpkin" paintjob and a "Red Devils" paintjob is available for the F/A-18F Super Hornet.
