    I don't think I even need to mention which console is which.

    EDIT: Ha! Look who's eating their words. I should have watched the next few moments of the video before commenting; this isn't typical at all.

    X1S: Wobbly 45 FPS
    PS4: Wobbly 55 FPS
    X1X: Wobbly 55 FPS
    Pro: Near locked 60 FPS
    972p ps4 55fps vs 1080p 1x 55fps

    What did the dev mean by this :\

    pc version it is, then

    Yeah, definitely waiting for PC impressions before I grab this.

    The VR mode is absolutely mind-blowing. Incredible.

    No, I did some crazy turns and spins. I felt it slightly but fine considering.

    It really is amazing.

    Played that for far too many hours than is healthy for a 36 year old tonight. What a brilliant game.

    Quite a quick install from disc, didn't appear to have to download anything big - great to see these days.

    Graphics are lovely on 1x. I have a 4K 50" TV, and the image is slightly soft actually on that screen, although I don't mind that. The lighting and weather effects are brilliant. Clouds, lightning, rain, and actual turbulence. Really immersive.

    It feels like 60 fps on this system to me, if it's actually 55 as reported I can't really notice, it feels extremely smooth. Love the high-G manoevres, can't remember if these have featured in other instalments I've played.

    Story is the usual bonkers nonsensical anime guff, a nice change from the dudebro stylings of the last entry though'

    Free flight is nice. Spent a good few minutes just pottering around in the Starfighter over the map that looks like the UK with none of the megaviolence just for the joy of flight and looking around. I used to do a bit of Airfix modelling and stuff as a kid so having a game that is even a caricature of jet flight on console is brilliant. It's been too long.

    Too many Sukhois though.

    To whoever was complaining about the camera choice in the replay, try using the dpad.
    Yes, I've spent far too long directing my own top gun movie tonight.

    I'm interested in how you handled

    A) volleyball

    B) fretless basslines

    C) 4g inverted dive with a MiG 28

    Did someone say there was a VR demo? I can't see it anywhere.

    Watched some gameplay now, did’t really take my breath away. Looks very repetitive.

    It certainly is repetitive. You dogfight, 80% of the time. 20% of the time, you hit ground targets.

    It's utterly brilliant, if you like that sort of thing.

    I forgot how mesmerising the little post mission animated replays are.

    Is there a button for selecting next actual target? Also, target the thing directly in front of me. Cycling through junk using X is tired.

    A) like the rest of the boys, of course, i.e. with plenty of oil.
    B) I tend to jump on my motorcycle and race a fighter jet when I hear one.
    C) from about 2 metres. Maybe one and a half. I have a Polaroid.

    I keep failing mission 5, and I have no idea why. 7 minutes on the clock, 1 target left. It almost feels like a bug.

    Combined with the complete lack of checkpoints which means it takes me 15 minutes even to get to that point, I a somewhat annoyed.

    @UncleLou is that the resuce mission where you have to save the president by the space elevator. I'm not going to spoiler this because it's not intuitive.

    Shoot him down.

    @brokenkey Heh, no, the next one, actually. :)

    I guess something gets destroyed by a bomb or something but it‘s not communicated at all. Just get a „mission failed“ rather unceremoniously, every single time. Stuck there for 2 hours now.

    Yeah, is it just me, or does "restart from checkpoint" pretty much just mean "restart"?
    That's been the case for me, though, to be fair, I've only actually played two missions, and spent more time directing the replays...

    Restart puts you back to any takeoff/refulling sequence.

    UncleLou, which mission exactly ? Can't be 5 (444) surely ? Only thing I could guess at would be the bombers are doing too much damage to the base, so prioritise them.

    Anyone got it specifically for the psvr stuff?

    Any good?

    SORRY I MEAN US IT GOOD, MY OLD CUNTS?!

    And it finally becomes clear why we need all the shouting in here...

    I'm kinda purposefully avoiding the VR for the moment; as decks said, it'll possibly have a detrimental effect on my enjoyment of the full game (much like firewall has sort of broken any FPS for me).
    I didn't really buy it for that anyways (though, obviously, I'd have been all over a full game of it), I just love the series.

    Might well leave it until I've completed the campaign (so by the time I get to it there'll be a full ps5 PSVR v2 release).

    Is there any reason why they didn’t VR the full game?

    Cost, basically. Turns out converting a game to PSVR takes a bit more work than they figured.

    I'm 99% sure I didn't do this manually. The cutscene played out like I had though

    What camera view are you all using? I can't settle between third or first person (not cockpit).

    All the older ACs first person was a no brainer, but third is pretty nice now.

    Also expert controls or GTFO

    Cockpit, always cockpit!

    Expert controls, cockpit view (yes, even with the planes that result in, like, half the screen being obscured), helmet on, visor down, top gun soundtrack playing in the kitchen (still awesome).

    I'm probably also naked. Anything goes when the visor goes down.
