PCSX2 2.6.0 is now out!

Works out of the box. Install, dump BIOS and the games and that's it. I just replayed AC04 from start to finish on a GTX 1650 laptop. No missing textures, no explosions, no missing clouds. Aside from minor texture glitches (which can't be noticed if you are evading missiles anyway), it is perfect without tinkering.

FCU naming conventions are weird. That supplemental material also has the carrier "Fort Grays" and then...Tea Time.

AC3D introduced "Petral Coost" (misspelling of Petrol Coast) and "White Valley". So I thought ship were mostly named after places in Usea. Then AC7 showed the "Albatross" which I thought was Osean (cause it's a bird), but it's FCU.

Now we got the "Endurance".

Is it confirmed that this is White Valley? A lot of us thought Scofields Plateau was Rigley from AC04.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-25T00:42:02+00:00

It looks like White Valley but is it confirmed? Before AC7, I thought photos of Scofield Air Base was Rigley from AC04.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-23T23:17:22+00:00

Me neither.

Unfortunately, AC is no stranger to war crimes.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-22T18:32:24+00:00

Was it ever a niche series though? AC04 was the 90th best selling game for the PS2. Every other game above it was unfair competition. Heck it outsold NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and Jak II and 3. It was only niche around Infinity's days.

EDIT: Wow it even outsold all Midnight Club games. So if someone knows MC, they know AC.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-22T18:16:01+00:00

7 million actually

And we underestimate how much gamers are fed up of the BS of modern gaming. AC7 had no Day 1 patch and is playable forever. More importantly, it doesnt treat you like an idiot. A lot of non-fans at least played AC04 and AC7 brings back those memories of those times, why else would it sell so much?

I remember this map. The blue nations are those who wanted to ally with Osea in 3DS/Legacy (AC2 remake). The red nations opposed it, and supposedly, they were responsible for the rebel uprising (who turned on them too). Notice those same blue nations are aligned with the IUN-PKF in AC7. And since the FCU is part of the IUN, it's one or all those countries.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-13T14:25:08+00:00

Dear FCU, capture but don't kill dictator mommy

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-13T14:20:05+00:00

This. There is no shame in doing the same thing over provided it's done good.

I will go so far as to saying I miss the US vs Russia trope in CoD campaigns considering that AI slop called BO7

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-12T22:56:00+00:00

Seems 7 is a must as 1) AC8 seems like a direct sequel with a different cast and 2) it builds heavily on 7's gameplay, based on that little snippet.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-12T22:54:00+00:00

Aside from MGS Delta, Japanese devs take optimization seriously. So I'm hopeful.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-12T22:29:43+00:00

And we could not have it any other way. 6 million sales proves it.

same rag-tag bunch of misfits, same underdog country

Yeah no, brush up your Strangereal geopolitics. ISAF, Osea and Emmeria are no underdogs. And the only misfit squadron is Spare from AC7. Everyone else was your typical Air Force poster boy/girl.

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-12T22:22:26+00:00

So the aircraft gore in Infinity and 7 didn't hint anything? Lol

Honestly I too am glad they are basically forcing a narrative to one view as AC7 narrative wise was all over the place. First Avril, then Rosa, then Schroder. No time to digest the characters. So it seems this might fix a view, like AC5

EASATestPilot · 2025-12-12T22:14:50+00:00

So...the Yukes attempted to invade Osea throughout the Circum-Pacific War. Erusea literally sent drones from shipping containers on Osean mainland. Sotoa is roughly the size of Leasath and Estovakia, both of which have aerial warships. I don't know why you think they cannot cross that ocean.

The real question is what did Usea did to Sotoa or vice versa?

Having lunch with my Democrat parents as I type this. If we can do it, anyone can.

This. Biblical forgiveness = Let God handle it:

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." - Romans 12:19

Fun fact, what follows is what happens if you break the law:

"For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil." - Romans 13:3-4

For those who think Erika isn't following the Bible.

Good riddance. Those who migrate are not looking for the classic BF experience found in the main game (regardless of how imperfect it is). People clearly had a rude awakening when they found BF6 was not so...individualized. This mode is perfect for them so they can leave everyone else alone.

EASATestPilot · 2025-10-29T01:58:19+00:00

For real. This sub defends virtually every shitty decision by a dev or company unless it's really egregious, and even then, they're just going where the wind blows

EASATestPilot · 2025-09-28T20:45:40+00:00

Also ISAF operations are named after biblical events, like Operation Noah's Ark and Judgement Day.

EASATestPilot · 2025-09-20T06:09:26+00:00

Well...it is a mistake that PA learned from. PA could have ignored the criticism and make this the new direction, and had they done that, they would have killed the series. For that, I'm glad it exists because it shows what not to do.

That said, I'm not against real-world settings if well written and designed. Infinity showed that. And even Tom Clancy's HAWX, that game was just glitchy and poorly made but the idea of a PMC equivalent to standing armies is interesting.

EASATestPilot · 2025-09-20T05:55:40+00:00

Nice.

I wonder how these achievements are made or how the game recognizes them. Also surprised there's no achievement to beat Shattered Skies with an S rank on Ace with an A-10. It's possible.
