29 years of Ace Combat, the most realistic fighter jet game then and now.

If we talk about games that are so realistic that we can use those games as references in real life. For driving games, we have to think about the Gran Turismo series, or if you want to be a Japanese train driver, you should choose the game JR East Train Simulator, which simulates the controls of real vehicles as prototypes, which Ace Combat is also in. This category. Because it is a game that simulates the most realistic control of a fighter jet that a video game can create. June 30, 1995 is the 29th anniversary of the release of the first Ace Combat game on PlayStation 1. Let's rewind this game together.

Ace Combat is an arcade-style combat flight simulation video game called Project Aces developed by Namco Entertainment. The game focuses on fast-paced experimental action. An exciting story with near-realistic plane driving gameplay. It has dynamic flight, can stand still like a real fighter, and can carry dozens of missiles to carry out missions in a fantasy world. Different countries' wars are fought by many different types of combat aircraft, each with different controls. This is the main selling point of this game that fans love.

The world of Ace Combat is called Strangereal Earth, and it takes place after the event called Ulysses which happened in 1999 where the asteroid Ulysses 1994XF04 collided with Earth, but humans used anti-asteroid cannons to destroy it. But the remains of asteroid 1994XF04 Ulysses were scattered across the world, causing a global crisis. And international tensions until the story eventually developed into war. Where we will play the role of soldiers who come to carry out combat missions this time using different types of flying vehicles in the story. All the missions in this game will be driving flying vehicles. This includes protecting civilian aircraft or fighting for objects in the air depending on the story. What I can say is that it is fun, realistic, and very fan-pleasing.

The first games may not have realistic controls, but in later games, the games will start using real planes as models. If you play with a joystick like an airplane, you will be more impressed. Because it will give you the feeling of actually flying the plane, and anyone interested will not have to buy the first game to play with the boxy graphics and unrealistic images of the first game to waste time playing. But I advise you to buy the latest version, Ace Combat 8, to play it, it is fun, the graphics are so beautiful and realistic that you will definitely not imagine it, and when you play a lot, you may become a fighter pilot in the future.
