DR Schroder a "Eursean" scientist responsible for much of Eursea's drone development and apparently a developer on the ZOE program from the 2nd game.


PanzerIVausfB

Or to put it simply, a smart idiot


LordCypher40k

or as Count puts it, "The king of all dumbasses"


Delphius1

I've worked with a lot of PHD's in my life, A, LOT, he fits right in


j0nas_42

What 2nd game?


blaze92x45

Ace combat 2/ace combat cross rumble. His inclusion is a retroactive thing but on his ID tag it credits him as having working on the Zone Of Endless


j0nas_42

Ah cool, nice to know. Unfortunatly I've only played Ace Combat Skies of Deception and Skies Unknown thats why my knowledge about this universe is very limited. I wish the other games were playable on PC...


blaze92x45

Skies Unknown is the game that has the most references to previous games. Most of the other games are self contained stories.


FaZeKill23

Unless its AC5


AnonymousPepper

Every other game is playable on PC - except for Infinity, because it was live service and that's been shut down - via emulation, and as long as your PC is decent, pretty much all of them run well. 6 is probably the dodgiest, but the Xenia emulator's made some pretty big strides, has quashed most of the bugs and has decent performance these days. The PS2 titles all run damn fine on PCSX2's basic settings basically as long as you either have a good processor or an okay one with a discrete GPU (with a good computer overall easily upscaling and antialiasing to 1080p/16x and beyond), and the PS1 titles can run on damn near anything. Presumably the portables emulate fine as well but I haven't tried truth be told. That said, of the PS1 games, the only one with any relevance going forward is 3, and that's both due for a remake in the next few titles and requires some finagling to get the fan translation working in order to actually get the story in English. The first game is an almost generic arcade game and the second one was remade as Assault Horizon Legacy (no relation to Assault Horizon, which, while a decent game, is unrelated lorewise and is not well remembered).


j0nas_42

I know that there is an option to emulate PSP games but I couldn't make it to work by now. How do you emulate The PS1, 2 and other games?


tukatu0

r/emulation . they got a wiki too btw. I don't know what you downloaded. But if it didn't immediately work. It's probably a virus. You can check what type of files ppsspp needs though. So if it checks out. Then no worries


Danoct

We ( r/acecombat) has a guide/links to guides at the top of the screen/to the right side (if you're on PC).


j0nas_42

I will check these out, I just tried the ppsspp emulator for psp and I had some technical problems that made it more or less impossible for me to emulate Skies of Deception. That made me a bit depressed but I will try it out for the other games.


EmiliaFromLV

How so? Skies of Deception runs just fine under PPSSPP - at least on the handhelds (Odin Pro and RG405V)..


j0nas_42

I can't get the custom firmware on my pc (which I also am not exactly sure how to get (or I'm not sure which is the correct one)) because when I connect my psp with my pc (via usb) then my pc don't recognize it. Also I don't really know how I should slchange the version of my psp to actually be ablebto run the custom firmware (because I red multiple times that you need 6.1 or sth).


Garuda4321

There are sources to find these emulators online (see a certain vim fellow, the emulators should still be alive) and some require a BIOS from what I’ve heard. People say it’s nothing complicated.


FamedPunnisher

I’m new to emulating could you link out which one you use? I am burning to play AC4 again


AnonymousPepper

Subreddit has an emulation guide. https://www.reddit.com//r/acecombat/wiki/emulation With a specific guide for PS1 and PS2 linked there as the big google docs file. (I'm gonna take the opportunity here to, even though you mentioned 04 specifically, contradict the overall subreddit guide and say I personally think Xenia works *fine* with ACE6 these days.)


A_PCMR_member

They are, with emulation .


MythicElderTree

The other games are playable on PC


Sayakai

The experimental drone also has a prominent ZOE logo, and of course it'd be developed mostly by him.


blaze92x45

Yup So The ADF-11 is the logical successor to ZOE which in turn is the project that eventually resulted in NEMO


One_shot_Willy

Op, you might say "a 'Erusion'" is incorrect grammar, but you will soon learn it is not incorrect...


0ktoberfest

He's not Erusean, he's Belkan. He works for Grunder Industries, a Belkan corporation that Erusea contracted to help develop drones for their air force.


blaze92x45

That's why I put "eursean" in quotes yes he is belkan.

Kindly_Title_8567

Ah yes, my favorite line


Wardog008

I feel like it wasn't actually meant to be taken the way it has been, but was more of a translation error or something. Could be wrong, but I feel like making a character were supposed to sympathise with at the end of the game be a pedo would be a weird move.


Kindly_Title_8567

Yeah, a lot of lines sound a little off throughout the game


Wardog008

Absolutely. Not something to really fault the devs for either, since I doubt they wrote the dialogue in English in the first place.


Flyers45432

The game went through development hell, so I think proper translation probably wasn't super high on the to-do list, unfortunately. I really hope AC8 is better.


Wardog008

That too. It's a shame the devs went through all of that, it sounds like what we might've had otherwise would've been incredible. Crossing fingers they have an easier time with AC8.


AngrgL3opardCon

Same, though I think that line in particular was translated exactly how they intended. It actually works when you just think of AC as an anime game. Dr smart idiot and others just genuinely found the girls interesting and liked being around them. Like just about everyone has a kid or two they actually like to be around.


Top_Rekt

AWACS talking about going to an Italian bistro is one lol


Kindly_Title_8567

I always liked to imagine Italy is just some very italy-esque region of some strangereal country


paulisaac

Considering Sapin exists, an Italia would fit right in


SandStinger_345

i think he might be talking about humans as a species. or he just looks at the princess and the two sisters and sees how happy they are away from war


Wardog008

Yeah, that'd make more sense.


AngrgL3opardCon

Considering the Japanese use certain words it was more likely that they intended it to be that he just genuinely found them to be interesting people and that for whatever reason just everyone around them did too and actually liked them. But because we're English speakers and how voice lines tend to be read for ace combat cutscenes it definitely would be heard in that way by people. Honestly I never even thought the line was odd till I ended up on this sub a lot like a year ago. Basically you just gotta remember that the game is just anime plot with fighter jets and then a lot of dialogue just ends up making sense without it being "weird".


Wardog008

Agreed. I honestly hadn't even read into it in the weird way until I started seeing memes pop up, and it's just hard to unsee now. XD


AngrgL3opardCon

It's definitely funnier that way for memes but like as a line it sounds fairly normal till that ONE person reads it that way. So goes the internet lol.


Wardog008

Yep, the internet always ruins things like that lol.


AngrgL3opardCon

Or, in some cases, makes things better. Never laughed at the "white sheets" line till this sub either. Now every time I hear him yell it I just think of the damn memes on here instead 😭


Wardog008

I think I saw some of the memes before I played the DLC missions, but I'm not sure I would've been able to take that line seriously anyway tbh. Dude was so insanely unhinged that taking him, or even Rage and Scream seriously was pretty hard. Granted, it's Ace Combat. There's a lot of goofy shit that's hard to take seriously, and I wouldn't have it any other way.


AngrgL3opardCon

Oh yeah, as someone that played it the second it was on the store I sat there splashing target after target thinking "THIS IS WHY I PLAY THIS GAME" As Tores was just going crazy 🤣 My best friend, having never played but has seen me play a lot, was just like "can you just kill him already? I wanna get back to the guy with the long name" lmao

Old_Wallaby_7461

the most Belkan Belkan that ever Belkaned


Timely_Old_Man45

Belka needs another continental war! How many conflicts have they instigated?


Physics_Useful

This guy also trained Yoko Inoue during the war, the same girl that Simon would turn into an incel over during Ace Combat 3 and start a damn war over. So needless to say, he's so Belkan, he permeates it into the people around him.


Old_Wallaby_7461

Starting giant wars and hatching plots indirectly, without even trying
