Namco was founded in 1955 and merged with Bandai in 2005. Between that long period, they have produced some of the most memorable franchises in gaming.
Namco Bandai has dominated the air combat genre with "Ace Combat" for years without much competition, but Ubisoft is taking the series head on with the Tom Clancy-branded "HAWX" in March. A Ubisoft developer told MTV Multiplayer one of the big differences between the two games is the element of realism brought to "HAWX."
IGN reports, "Leading video games developer and publisher Namco Bandai Games America Inc. announced today that the Ace Combat series has surpassed 10 million units sold worldwide, and that Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system has surpassed one million units sold in North America. Fueled by consistently entertaining and accessible gameplay as well as cutting-edge graphics, the series has remained a critical and commercial smash hit since its introduction in 1995."
This game is going to be great...another perk of being a 360 gamer. And why would a tornado use thrust reversers in flight thats cute and stupid. Yet, it gives an indication to the high level of thrust control in the game.
havent played these games since i was young on the Psone....im excited :)
IM OUT...///"""
An exclusive or timed exclusive? If it is timed, than maybe the PS3 version will have some nice extras. Depending on the extras, it may be a tough call as the 360 version will have better multiplayer over Live.
It's timed Scrump.
I'm only impressed by the planes...but everything else...hmmm
