Kazutoki Kono would make Ace Combat: Assault Horizon "Call of Duty of heaven"

The new episode of Namco aims to achieve global success Ace Combat: Assault Horizon aims to make the kind of shooter aircraft "popular and accessible as that of first person shooter. During a recent interview with CVG, the game director Kazutoki Kono explained that although Assault Horizon has little to do with Call of Duty, in his view could offer something new to fans of the series Activision.

"We believe that the large number of FPS in recent years has come out a little 'saturated the market. E' for this reason that we want to propose new situations where you have to shoot while driving at high speed. We want to offer new experiences," said Kono. "Many people are not fond of shooting planes is telling us that our stock is really strong.

Receive this kind of praise reassures us." "We had no direct influence on the Call of Duty, but I think that Assault Horizon is a spectacular game, and it would be nice if we got the same success of Activision's products," he said finally. Source: CVG
