Ace Combat Megaplay News
I want to thank everyone for their positive response to the Ace Combat Megaplay project. Between Consoleation and Twitter, I’ve been encouraged by the responses I’ve received. I’ve been wanting to get back into some more traditional writing, to go along with my industry analysis, and I think that this project is a big step for me in that direction. I’m hoping to have one installment released every 7-10 days. I did complete the first installment (for Air Combat) today. The game only took about three hours to play through, and the words have been written.
The rest of the lineup looks like this:
- Ace Combat 2 (PlayStation)
- Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere (PlayStation)
- Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies (PlayStation 2)
- Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (PlayStation 2)
- Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War (PlayStation 2)
- Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (Xbox 360)
- Ace Combat: Assault Horizon (PlayStation 3)**
** — I’m also considering replaying the Xbox 360 version to see if there are any notable platform differences.
I’m also considering adding Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy (Nintendo 3DS) as a bonus installment if response to the project is good.
I’m also happy to announce that Splitkick will be publishing my Ace Combat Megaplay writing installments. I began writing as an industry analysis contributor for the site earlier this month and, after some discussion with site staff, but this is an opportunity to be published on a wider scale and hopefully gain some exposure and experience in the process. While I’ll still be maintaining Consoleation and Armchair Analysis, my hope is that being published outside of a personal blog space will help me towards my goal of becoming an established and legitimate writer. I haven’t given up hope that I might be able to earn a paying job somewhere down the line, and I think that this Splitkick partnership is a good step in that direction. I hope that you’ll add the site to your bookmarks and give it a read when time allows. There’s a lot of great writing to be read over there.
After each installment goes live, I’ll probably write up an addendum for each one here. I like being able to add some extra insight after a piece of mine is published elsewhere, talking about my personal experiences or adding things that I might have left out of the original work.
Thanks again for your support of this project, and I’ll be checking back in once the first installment goes live.
