Gamer By Proxy Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies - PlayStation 2 Mission 17 - Siege of Farbanti Very Easy Mode [Due to Technical Errors, this Channel's Logo would only appear for the first 5 to 6 seconds of this video! During the attempted repair of this issue, the Channel Logo was streamlined.] Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies is a 2001 arcade-style combat flight simulation video game developed and published for the PlayStation 2 by Namco. The player assumes the role of a fighter pilot, assigned the call sign Mobius 1, and controls one of 21 different fighter jets through 18 different story missions. Each mission features different objectives including shooting down squadrons of enemy pilots and escorting friendly units. The development team viewed Ace Combat 04 as a return to the origin of the franchise after the mixed release of Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere. This design philosophy was reflected in the marketing tagline "It's Changing Everything Again". Gameplay was given more of an arcade feel with an increased focus on score attack objectives and less story cutscenes. In addition to standard missiles that can lock on to any target, Ace Combat 04 introduced special weapons such as anti-ship missiles, unguided rockets, and bombs. Studio 4°C developed the interludes that play between missions as slide show cutscenes, which was a cost-effective alternative to the fully-animated cutscenes in Electrosphere. As opposed to the Top Gun-inspired rock music in Ace Combat 2 and the electronic music in Electrosphere, Ace Combat 04 features a blend of rock, orchestral, and synthesizer music, as well as a Latin chorus, which cemented the style of Ace Combat soundtracks going forward. Ace Combat 04 was a commercial success and shipped 2.64 million copies worldwide. Critics praised the gameplay, story, and soundtrack, while the graphics received mixed reception. Criticism was pointed to the game's lower challenge and smaller amount of missions compared to its predecessors. It was re-released as a budget title in Japan in 2004 under Sony's The Best label.
