Ace Combat Infinity teaser looks like proper Ace Combat

Things look Strangereal up here

Namco Bandai’s just dropped a new teaser for Ace Combat Infinity, and I’ll be damned if what’s shown doesn’t look like proper Ace Combat. Let’s go down the checklist of “Ace Combat-y Things”, shall we?

Vaguely awkward-sounding fighter jet unit names? Check.

Ridiculous superweapons? Check.

Experimental-looking jet fighters? Check for Shinden.

Dramatic music? Angelic choir check.

Endearingly wooden radio banter? Check, rookie!

Single-player story campaign? AWACS “Press Release” tells me “Check”.

Free-to-play? Check…if you give me some Idolm@ster skins.

Now all we need is a sermon about how much war sucks, and we’ll be ready to dance with the angels! 

Ace Combat Infinity is due this year on the PlayStation 3.
