Probably the best graphics I'd seen in a game EVER!

You really must check out the demo if you havn't already.

Yeah its a great demo. It does say in the demo, but if you hold the B button (the missile button) it'll got a kool missile camera view. and holding the Y button shows your relation to the target. Hotness!

meh... I was hoping that when I flew down lower to the city it would be more realistic but most of it is just a bird eye view picture.

meh? don't let the fact that you can't do stuff you're not even able to do anyways (fly through downtown cities in a fighter jet at mach 2) be the reason you don't like the game, if that's the only reason for the meh.

It's far from the best graphics, but it still looks pretty good. The best part for me is just doing stunts like flying as close to the water as possible and flying under the bridges.

I agree with you, when you get real close its like a picture from google maps, just kills the whole AC6 graphic experience.

The topic maker was talking about graphics quality. The game quality is what to expect but by my 'meh' referred to the graphics. I would expect that the landscape would be better. It's just like those flight simulator graphics back on the PC. Planes look all good and nice but when you get close to the ground it's rubbish.

Good graphics...but there is just something w/ flight games i just dont like. Think its the whole 400000000000000000 enemies and unlimited weapons thing. Think it should be more realistic. Buth eh, enjoyed the demo, wont buy it. Save money for other games.

All the enemy planes have boxes surrounding them with the word "Enemy" next to them. You really can't miss them :|

Anyway, the graphics looked great in the screenshots, but I was disappointed to find in the demo that it doesn't look much different from Ace Combat 4 and 5. I mean, yeah, the graphics are better but not as big as an improvement as I was hoping for. Hopefully they'll improve before release since I swear the screenshots looked a thousand times better than what was in the demo. I do like the sound effects of falling glass and metal that you hear when you fly through the debris of a plane you just destroyed though. I'm still looking forward to this game though, especially since it finally has online multiplayer. I can't wait.

BTW, has anyone heard anything more about the flight stick that's getting released with this game? Like, can it work on the PC, can we use a PC flight stick on the 360, and will there be anymore games that support it?

I thought the game was pretty fun to play but what's with the raving on and on about the graphics? The terrain looks like it always does in flight games, like a stretched out texture, and what's with the 8-bit crash animations? I wouldn't say the graphics are anything out of the ordinary for a 360 game. Sure the plane models look kinda snazy and shiny, but what else?

You shouldn't be expecting too much. Every flight game has bee like that, you don't normally fly so low to the ground to notice. They'd be wasting resources trying to load such high-res textures for something you won't normally see. Right now I think it's a good balance, you can get pretty low. If you want something for flying low the ground get the Latest MS Flight Simulator X, a $2000 computer to get to run this smooth, then extra money for super high-res expansion texture packs.

I personally thought it was a terrible game with horrible voice acting and I have seen better graphics on 4 year old PC games. It was not at allwhat I expected it to be. I found myself bored with it.

I think the reason the demo graphics were a bit less than in the screens is because they still have to finish optimizing the framerates for the real high quality graphics. The demo uses more compressed but still really great IMO graphics so that they can give us a taste of what it will be like. There is still a long time untill release so I'm sure they will improve it, even though I don't think it needs improving. I really enjoyed the demo and can't wait to get it. -Ace

i loved the demo. no matter what people are gonna say the graphics look bad, because people are retarded (when crysis comes out even then i know pwoplw on here are gonna have threads saying the graphics arent what they expect). i think people that didnt like this demo probably sucked at controlling the plane, were lost in what to do, and got their ass handed to them by enemy fighters. i beat it easy the first and only time i played the demo, but it was a lot of fun.

Calling people "retarded" for having an opinion other than yours is NO GOOD. The graphics were alright, I really wasn't like OMG NICE, and I found it boring to fly around. Ground textures, alright can't expect it to be high quality without lag yet but the explosions look plain bad. For a game like this they should atleast have everything in the air look good, which most does except for the explosions.

they should've made one super turbo that you go fast as hell or speedup the game and a more detailed ground would be nice.... Not saying that this game isnt great but could be perfect. I would rate it AA and just cause it doesnt have any competitionin modern flight combatgames I might buy it... If any1 knows any competition for this game on 360 feel free to tell..

I thought it was good, graphics looked pretty photo realistic. Free look needs to be tweaked, make it so it just pans around (like a fps view) then just click a button to re-center the cam. A 360 degree view is too much to have locked to a little stick, makes me dizzy. Other than that, Co-Op will be a blast.

dude this game sucks. If you fly down to the city you will notice your plane is like 5 times bigger than a building and your plane is like 5 times bigger than the aircraft carriers. Aren't planes supposed to land on aircraft carriers? When I saw this it just about ruined my chances of buying this game.
