      i never got that far in Infinity because of that stupid fuel system, either sell the game or allow it to be free, alternatively, they could just make an AC:Infinity campaign for free, and then sell all the campaigns from AC1 all the way to AC6 including Assault horizon, the GBA and the PSP versions all in that game, Sell them as DLC and let the player play as much as they want without constraints of fuel bs.

      I guess perhaps PROJECT ACES feel the effort needed to pull it off outweighs the payoff at this time, cause to me (admittedly as a person who isn't into Ace Combat all that much) it sounds like the scope they have in mind is rather grandiose - more than likely involving new voice work and redone music. Electrosphere would be even more daunting, probably...
      All in all, this may also be why they enlisted outside help for the next instalment by teaming up with ILCA... whatever the new game turns out to be.

      The audio they can rip from the PS2 game files and update.
      Also. Absolutely NO excuse for losing the master file for a game since like 1990. What, you can't burn some CDs and keep them in a master index, with a backup? IDK about you but if Im spending a few mil for development Im gonna spend a few hundred on backups.
