Namco announced the upcoming release of ACE COMBAT 5, shipping exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 2 in Fall 2004. The newest installment in the ACE COMBAT series will be developed by Namco Limited in Japan. Introducing Wingman Command, ACE COMBAT 5 will attempt to maintain its title as the premier air combat game but will add the excitement of commanding a squadron, knowing that their fate is in your hands.
With more than 50 different licensed planes and an intense storyline extending over 30 missions, players will be put to the ultimate test, including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground fighting, air-to-sea assaults, rescue, recon and much more. Incorporating ultra-realistic beautifully rendered in-game graphics, to view screenshots follow the Screens tab above, and cinematics along with its trademark game play, ACE COMBAT 5 goes a step beyond the traditional air combat gaming experience.
One of the exciting new features to the sequel includes Wingman Command, where players can issue directives to their wingmen mid-mission to carry out coordinated group attacks. Additionally, the in-game radio communications with the squadron and enemies adds to the realism and intensity of the dynamic battle sequences.
In the game's premise, it is September 23, 2010 on distant Sand Island, a small island in the Ceres Ocean that divides the two superpowers, Osea and Yuktobania. An entire military base is on red alert -- the 108th Tactical Fighter Squadron intercepted an unidentified aircraft and the entire squadron was decimated.
You are a fighter pilot, part of the new squadron that's been called into action to protect your nation of Osea. Now, the story begins to unfold.
