Rumor: PS3 to get Ace Combat 6? - Image 1Namco Bandai's Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation was originally released for the Xbox Live last year, and we're now hearing that it might just pop up into Sony's PlayStation 3 console as well. There it was, cited in the PSM.

Check out the scan that we were able to get. This particular citing was found under the "2008 year of the PS3" feature of the magazine.

Apparently, the game was listed as part of it. A short description was also provided with it. It went, "Japan's favourite dogfighting series returns with a new made-up war, a brace of superweapons, online co-op and a custom controller for the superfans."

This is most definitely something very peculiar as there's no official word yet from the company saying that they have plans of releasing it to the PS3. So better just regard this as a rumor for now unless something official comes out from Namco Bandai.

For now, keep your eyes glued to our site as we will be bringing in more news and updates regarding this matter.

The price better be right for a 360 port. $60 is way to much for this. Only if Namco would make a real Ace Combat with more detail using 50gig Blu-ray and optimized for the cell processor then I will be excited to shell out $60. Oh well, if this port is $30, maybe i'll buy it.

I hope its more than a port and they actually have been taking this time to strip it down and rework it for the PS3, offering the best they can for it.

**I heard a rumor that BN is slightly p1ssed with the timed exclusive deal they made cuz AC6 didn't sell worth crap on the 360. If that turns out true... what did they think would happen? Fans of the series (the series thats always been on PS) were expecting to get it for the PS3 and just refused to buy a 360 for something they knew was coming to the PS3 later.

In all honesty, as much as it would be cool, and as much as I personally believe NamcoBandai would probably do this(probably driving PS3 sales through the roof in Japan) this scan looks like it's from a magazine from before the game even came out for the 360. Just the way they describe it, making the features of this game seem like it's brand new info. It would seem this magazine was published before the game was announced as a 360 exclusive. --BUT-- these are just my assumptions. How nice would a black Ace Combat flight stick be?

Do a sequal not a remake Namco though the ps3 does have more hardware power than the 360 haha!

I don't know I saw this game in Gamestop playing on a Xbox360 I was seriously not impressed by the graphics, the entire environment looks like its just a pasted flat copy of a city as well as the skies.

Pretty much the only thing worth looking at were the jets and they too looked kind of off.

This would have to be totally redone other wise forget it.

I can't wait for this, I hope it has PS2 style controls by default.
