VR Update: Several people have said they can move their heads around just fine, it may be an issue specific to WMR headsets.
I have a Samsung Odyssey which uses the WMR stuff and I could move my head around fine. Might need to re setup your headset because the same issue has happened to me for other games before
Every time i use my WMR headset i have to set up boundaries for seated play again or this happens. It's annoying but mine works fine as long as i do that.
I use quest 2, but can't use the included controllers, may be I will try in steam vr. Skyrim vr wouldn't launch without steam vr which I just found yesterday.
If you liked the vrc mode for ace 7 and project wingman try vtol vr you can pilot the plane with controllers and you can fly it by stick in the plane with the be controllers and you can press and use all the buttons in the cockpit
yeah that happens when it loses the boundary. the headset itself can only move around in 3d space if you have a room boundary set up for some reason...WMR has its weird share of issues but i think its a pretty okay platform when you get the hang of it
Ace Combat 7: "Does the color of the sky matters to you?"

Me after PW: "I swear man, the sky outside is ORANGE!!"

I cant believe modern warfare 2 ripped off project wingman's snowmobile chase sequence
Good one
look at the release dates xD
@@henryb.574 but release dates...
How is this a AH ripoff? It's much closer to zero, and doesn't have the lame ass quick time events, scripted scenes, or the voiced protagonist.
In short, this game is nothing like AH
@@henryb.574 I hope it was, but if it really was it wasnt funny either anyway so still screw that guy

You forgot to mention you that the Harrier clone can actually hover in this game. Which is freaking amazing.

Oh my god, it can?
@@Tigershark_3082 well not really, it just can't actually stall. The controls are the same as normal flying, it's just that you're not going anywhere.

I'm glad you pointed out PW's best feature

But what if its just smol Australia?
That's not how you spell Prez.
I thought that your co-pilot WSO wifu was the best feature?

15 years ago, there was an oboeshoes main channel upload
yeah, thats about how long he takes between uploads to main
That fact that this is being sold for $25 is insane.
It costs even less with regional pricing; in my country, I was able to get it for 11 USD!
The price in my country is even less than $10
Well AC budget goes to cutscenes and Voice actors, the brand itself also old so what to expect when they want 60$ more?
I kinda wish they cared a but more.. 30 usd?
@Nuklear Scorpio Who took a dump in your coffee?
I feel offended when you said played it five times over. Bruh...it's 6 times :D
Ummm six?....
Isn't it closer to ten?
With AC7 it's all difficulty lvls (so we have 4), one normal playthrough, mg only campaign, no damage campaign, speedrun and probably one for good measure.
After that mods come into play and mastering all missions for an S rank.
I bought Project Wingman instead of Cyberpunk and ohnestly I'm having metric shitton of fun.
waaait... you're not supposed to be here
so we meet again
Haigs shows up in most of the military vehicles videos' comment section
I'm still playing it. lol
I know this video is almost a year old now. But it got me thinking of the time when I was 15 and visiting a USAF museum and went into the super realistic flight simulator they had. The retired USAF captain said he "hadn't seen someone commit to CAS that violently" since he'd served in Korea. I'm almost 30 now and still not sure if that was a compliment.
that's based
What is CAS?
@@sdsdfdu4437 Close Air Support. The Brrrrt.
@@spasminos the Brrrrt suck, rockets, bombs and AGMs are where its at
@@AHappyCub he asked what CAS is. Not what the best CAS is.
glad I'm not the only one that crashed into the big planes 900 times
holy shit, I thought I was the only one here. I'm not a moron! :D
@@vexingrabbit1824 Same but i had a near miss with 2 of them while using anti-cruiser missiles.I barrel rolled out of the way and then crashed into another plane XD.
All of my deaths so far have been crashing into the airships. They always seem to get bigger much quicker than I anticipated
Ayyy hahahaha same for me
I'm not.
I crashes into those C/Y-17 transport way more than the air ships.
Dip: "SHUT UP AND FIGHT NOBODY CARES" *proceeds to ragequit*
@@nickcher7071 My favorite moment from him. He said exactly what I was feeling.
@@nickcher7071 czcams.com/video/O3pW-JkxQiw/video.html A legend recorded all his shut ups.
@@nickcher7071 Love Dip's reaction. That's how I always felt when someone quotes that buddy quote from AC:Zero. "SHUT UP, I DON'T CARE"
Jose Pavli's work would make Kobayashi-San proud. This whole game was one of the best way you can spend $25. I got to play this game with VR and HOTAS and since that's enough invested in flight sims to make Jeff Bezos poor, the $25 price tag was extra bonus.
And the fact that the 25 bucks price tag (and probably can even be cheaper in some country with price regional) with tons of replaybility content, great flying physics, full VR campaign (even AC7 only has like 3 campaign mission on VR), and for sure WSO waifu (and its not including a mod tho yet) Its a freaking MONEY ROBBER kinda like The Witcher 3 case in the past
@@monsterhunterdarksouls6229 god bless the modder that not only modded prez into every plane, but also changed the models into 2-seater
All the orange is a homage to your CZcams pic and channel background though.
Project Wingman's latter half of the campaign feels like Ace Combat: The Line
Tell me Monarch, Do you feel like a king yet ?
How many Cascadians have you killed today?
@@CheemsofRegret SHUT UP NOBODY ASKED

There is also those who are combat vets who can meme the shit of everything.
@@thatfemboyinyourbackyard7363 I am all encompassing; the solo, the rogue, the reading, the Prez... The VR mode is the superior way to play.

"So.. we can do Genocide route, right?"
Considering you have a choice between attacking civilian/non-combatant targets or not... *_yes._*
Well if you want the max possible payout, yeah
Considering the way the game ends, we DID do the genocide route
@@DoomFoxofDeath
No, Crimson did. Also about the only civilian target is that one yacht, it's never clear what the rest of them are.
@CruelestChris The lack of targets on civilian infrastructure will not stop my missiles.
I mean they have a fully functioning VR campaign, sure it ain't vtol VR level of realism but honestly, still more impressive then AC7's VR cutback
EXACTLY, especially somewhat pretty cool with how decent it is if you compare it with other big guns like DCS & MFS2020
VTOL VR isnt realistic dude. DCS, IL2, War Thunder all have better VR flightsim modes.
@@ItsATrap614 The entire point of VTOLVR is to make realism arcade like. You have to have some sort of knowledge of aircraft to fly the thing, just because it isn't a full simulator game doesn't mean it isn't realistic.
Glad to finally have a game that accurately simulates the color of the sky in California in 2020. Also how did you know that I've already played this game 5 times already??
"You get more kills than that one pizza guy"
I'm . . . sorry?
you didn't get the joke?
the brand of pizza shown is called red baron
the red baron A.K.A Manfred von Richthofen is/was W.W1/great war big german ace getting something like 80 confirmed flying kills
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manfred_von_Richthofen
with that knowledge, you should get the joke now.
@@cjp3033 i wasn't sarcastic neither am i a prick
@@pierre-andrelecomte9384 "I might be a prick" - probably isn't a prick
"I am not a prick" - almost definitely is a prick.
Higher, the king of the sky!
Plot twist: Youre an Pizza guy and try to kill people but thought it never worked, and now you think he is talking of you
Of course you can't see in clouds, they are clouds. You might as well be saying I am annoyed with the ground because I can crash into it
Hah! Now that's a perfect point 😁
I think that one of the issues with the clouds is the fact that the game doesn't feature an auto-level like AC does. So if you fly into a cloud in 3rd person mode and lose visibility, suddenly you can't tell if you're going up or down and can't just click a button and let the game sort it out.
Time to learn how to fly by instruments then
Altitude go down: facing down
Altitude go down faster: facing more down
Ya the instruments are all that save you. Meanwhile your evading three missiles and don't hardly have time to watch so still fly into the ground🤣
It gets tricky but just check altitude. The only prob is knowing what direction your facing when you plummeting down. Am I gonna be right side up? Am I gonna be upside down? Do I need to pull back or push forward? Especially when dodging missiles. Clouds seem low too
When your altimeter hits three digits instead of four, start pulling up
Yeah, my only slight criticism for the storytelling would be the devs should at least utilized some character portraits & symbols for the dialogues to give players something visualized or catch upon even with the low budgets style. They could easily put a codec style conversation with portrait beside the weapon UI while the briefing cutscene actually like MGS style codec dialogues.
I mean I guess it leaves the appearance of the characters to imagination? I don't particularly mind.
Well, it took until 6 for Ace Combat to implement it during missions.
@@yuenjanson we don't even need to see their faces, like a custom patch emblem or something could have worked fine. The crown for Monarch, a suit and tie for Diplomat, a mic for Comic, A fancier crown for Kaiser, etc.
Because Bounty Hunters. You don't wanna slap your face on anything when it attracts a squadron of bounty-hunters who know your name and underwear size
*Hmm, Galaxy, I'm trying to sneak around but I'm in a two-seater plane and the sound of Prez eating my pretzels is alerting the AA defenses*
"It might be that I crashed into the sea one time because I thought it was the sky and I'm salty about it"
Yeah, I also become salty when I dip into the sea. I think everyone does, in fact. :^)
I really hope the devs continue to add to this game/make a sequel. There’s so much potential and I’m kinda super invested in the game’s lore now lol
The VX-23's actually more like the F-22 frankensteined together with the Chinese Chengdu J-20, that's where the baby wings on the front are from. Which remix of Fire Youngman is that at 3:50 btw? I don't think I've heard that version before
Yes it's very much a F22/J20 hybrid, I wished for the J20 and I got something better :)
To me it looks most like a YF-23 with canards stuck on.
@@carsonm7292 The PW MK1 looks more like the YF-23 than the VX-23. The VS-23 is a mix of F-22&J-20.
@@SomsoKca I respectfully disagree but it's not a hill I intend to plant my flag into and die on 👍
@@SomsoKca It looks more like the SU-37, bulked up a fair bit, got better wings and rudders and two freaking reactors in the back for thrusters...
Dumb thing needs some kind of motion dampening, bcoz that thing will explode your head in a single immelman.
(way too agile)
Anything that makes me feel like an anime jet fighter pilot is right up my damn alley. God bless ace combat and the people who made this game.
What sells these games to me is the hollywoodian vibes, not the anime stuff. But I agree with you, all my gratitude to Kono and Keiki, and the PW developers.
Me, a war thunder player looking at mouse aim option:
*I T ' S T I M E*
Wow, a main channel upload!
Great and hilarious review! One thing you missed out is that there are no checkpoints in this game. So you can easily spend 30 - 45 mins in a mission only to either crash into the ocean or one of those air cruisers and have to start all over again. Still, didnt mind since it was a fun game.
another thing he missed is the *absence of mandatory tunnel missions*
@@MarvinT0606 they made it optional. You can fly into 3 tunnels in one of the night missions
0:51 I beat Ace Combat 7 with a mouse and keyboard. This should be no problem.
Inb4 famous last words
How high are your pain tolerance levels?
@@dr.vikyll7466 I mean, I failed Mission 6 of AC7 like 16 times and died on the Space Elevator climb like 23 times, so...pretty high, I guess?
I beat PW on hard with mouse and keyboard, it's actually pretty good
PW actually uses a pretty modern and friendly mouse control scheme. Very similar to the style war thunder uses
@@HiroTeaShi agreed, it's also fully customizable too
Who are you. Why is this review so good. Either way, you sold me on this game. Thanks
Oh my god, your videos are always a treat.
I LOVE your reviews, not just for the humor but for the fact it features games that go over most heads. Much more interesting than just another one on a game where there's an ocean full of videos to choose from.
probably one of the best reviews I've seen in a looooong time, good job and that's a word i use seldomly, worthy of a million views :).
Finally! The only Project Wingman review that counts.
3:03 “It’s subtle.” Oh man I’m dying 😂😂😂
"...but what they've managed to accomplish here is still pretty orange."
I'm getting too much amusement out of that line.
the ac7 remix of tango line is actually a banger though
first time seeing your channel ... loved your review content and style
@2:40 "did you know? there are 3 kinds of project wingman players" killed me .... really nice

you are my favorite gaming youtuber rn, almost every joke landed so well. great vid man
The man, the myth, the legend... has finally returned with a new video!
Assassin 1 here, glad you enjoyed the game!
I've been waiting for this
1:00 you take that the fuck back about the best goddamn controller to grace this planet
Realy enjoyed your review, well done! :)
I watched your corrosion only sally video on twitch, it was the first video I ever watched in that platform and I don’t regret it
You know I always wonder, how did the ace combat dev’s react to this game, I bet they were proud of what their fans could do, sadly i could not find anywhere where they left a comment about the game
I hadn't heard anything about this game because I don't read forums. As a big ace combat fan (which is what brought me to your channel) thanks for telling me exists! I know what I'm spending that steam gift card my wife always gets me for Christmas on.
Not Cyberpunk 2077. As she only ever gets me a $25 gift card. Because we're poor.
Better poor than rich, cuz if you were rich she'd leave with half instead of buying you games
@@jeanpaulgartier3404 Not this one. If I was rich we'd spend all our time doing romantic shit like taking long walks through Provencal villiages that tourists don't usually visit and sitting in cafes sipping rose wine. But we're poor so we mostly just drink box wine and play stardew.
you will love Project Wingman. It is harder then AC but you will enjoy the hardness. You will be the campaign, then you will play it again.
@@vexingrabbit1824 I'm looking forward to it! The fact that it's harder is a good thing. AC is comfortably easy even on harder difficulties, but I don't mind that. I look forward to the challenge.
Well. PW is 100% playable and made by fans of AC. That's is really great
I love that you and Rimmy have the same levels of reactions to all the orange
3:22 this wasn't the F-22 and I don't mean that in the copyright joke meaning
some think it's the J-20, chinese design (totally not stolen F-22 design then Frankensteined) but its not 100% identical.
the exhaust, intake and 'skin' look like F-22 the shape like the J-20 so this is a Frankenstein mashup of both.
It really looks most like the FB-22 (proposed delta wing variant of the F-22) that they just slapped some canards on.
You could throw the MiG-1.44 in the mix as well for the J-20's inspiration.
its neither of those, its an NATF-23, a projected naval version of our beloved and superior ATF YF-23
@Sebastian Larrosa took a quick look at what you said and I can instantly say *NO* the shape doesn't
match, there's a good meter between the canard wing and the "main wing" for the VX-23 in-game
where on your NATF-23 there is no space between them.
or at least nothing I found about it match, cool planes design tho.
@JohnnyBoythePilot I don't see much MIG 1.44 in the J-20
the delta wings on the mig are much more pronounced and straight
the canard wings have *nothing* in common, same for the aerodynamic profile, the mig is shorter too.
@HaveBlu i dont think so.
my last theory is that it's an F-22 BUT slightly lengthened, the horizontal tails wings removed then added as canard-wing (baby-wings) and the main wings pulled toward the rear and *VOILA*
@@pierre-andrelecomte9384 Yes, although I don't mean totally. The tails to me on both primarily look similar.
The one thing I'm excited to see is the "very accurate lore recap" for this game. I think it would be funny as hell
I’ve recently been looking to get more into flight sims/ arcade flight combat after getting a computer that’s not a potato. I’d heard of Ace combat obviously but hadn’t heard of project wingman until today and holy shit that looks amazing. And the conquest mode honestly seems really cool to me
BRUH I'M SUBBING good content can not wait for more
The fact that I only played Ace Combat 4 and watched a little bit of content on AC and some of the storylines yet this game still feels familiar and great to me is awesome, AC4 holds a place in my heart and this definitely satisfies my desire to play it again someday, and I just kinda stumbled upon this
Our ace has a wingman now, and he does not disappoint.
Wow, high praise with that rating huh? When I finally upgrade my computer I'll try wingman out
What is your pc right now?
I'm playing on intel graphics of a i-5 7th gen 4gb RAM. Just play enough with the video configs to not make it look like a PSX or N64 game
YAY! I didn't have to wait hundreds of days like poor Lochlan
Never a fan of any those air arcade game, but this, this project wingman game, give me a thrill. The high of reading all the information in the cockpit, the feeling that everything has gone, just you and your target. The thrill of speeding up and dog fight, is really good
i have been playing it since yesterday, great timing algorithm
Great review, I'm buying!
i love this review
great review
I guess it would be nice to have coop on the conquest mode. It would add a whole new deal for the game. Ace Combat Infinity and even the old HAWX were pretty fun and interesting to play due to coop.

Je viens de finir ce jeu vidéo et j'en garde un merveilleux souvenir. La campagne solo et épique (Les super musiques aide beaucoup.) Et le jeu en général et génial. 👍
8:35 it is inevitable for anyone who plays Conquest
Great review. 👏👏👏 TOP.
You beat me to it. I was frantically writing a script to do a review on this for three days and I keep adding more stuff to it.
Holy crap, spent first two hours playing the Conquest gamemode on Hard difficulty. First minutes in and I'm already experiencing Macross - Itano circus level of missile barrage and dodging while attacking an aerial fortress. It was intense and hella fun.
Good job on the review :D
Most enjoyable air combat game after Ace Combat 6, man it is a blast!
I have a very specific taste of youtubers I like. You are one of them. There is just something you do perfectly (Prolly the sarcasm)
Best game review I’ve watched across all genres so far and I don’t even like jet fighter games. Great vid mate.
i love project wingman and i hope they keep coming out with new games like it
Honest review.
My stunt mix is now up.
Your thoughts about the clouds are true, at least for me, I feel you man.
The conquest mode is amazing and I'm surprised not many people talk about it. It's decently challenging and can be replayed infinitely
Best review ever.
First time I heard the game used "AC" as the year indicator, I was like: "Oh so they went full Gundam Wing up in here"
"All of our AMMO, all of our GUNS, WE ARE BREAKING THIS LINE!!!" WOOOOOOO!
Honestly how well the mouse and keyboard controls work for you depends on how you set them up. AC7 I absolutely wanted the controller for, but Project Wingman I actually found to be a LOT easier to control with mouse and keyboard, but I put some effort into setting keybinds and such up correctly since initially, both keyboard AND controller felt really, really jank to use.
If you play War Thunder on mouse and keyboard, Project Wingman feels right up your alley. In fact it's easier to use the gun at times because you can lead shots with the mouse.
The tango line remix was great!
The game "heatseeker" on the ps2 also has multipule special weapons.
I didn't mind no timers, but I think the game needs more objective markers/something to aid the hud and maps. Some missions endings also let you fly around for a few minutes aimlessly, and I had no idea what was going on during the return to Rosdower AFB until I checked the map
As for M/KB...yes, it works just fine. The auto leveling is difficult due to the nature of the way keyboards work, which can make your plane wobble a lot in tight turns, but otherwise, M/KB is just fine, but controller and HOTAS setups are going to be superior, that's just a fact. But if you don't have one of those, you're fine with a M/KB
8:50 What you meant to say was "if you're looking for ace combat but orange"
i did not expect the soundtrack to go that hard
good to hear your voice again Oboe...
this video got me to buy the game, and now I have just completed it so... thanks oboe!
5:00 this bit was gold
I love this game so far and the VR works fine for me, I even have full 6 degrees of movement. I once clipped my head out of the canopy for the lulz. I just hope with mod support we'll be able to make custom missions making the reality of recreating the holy PS2 trilogy on PC a thing.
2:30 But...I loved Tango Line...
Such a classic AC song!
I'd like to see more of the flight characteristics of the snowmobile.
I didnt expect the Tango line reference
Looks cool, and the menus can be easily updated to better serve the VR players. This kind of flight sim works for a wider audience, and its a good addition to the VR gaming sphere. Hope they sell tons of copies!
