Namco Bandai announced a set of release dates today for Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, its refresh of the action flight franchise. The PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 title will hit North America on October 11, and then hop the pond to release in Europe on October 14.

The game is being written by Jim DeFelice, a New York Times bestselling military author who isn't Tom Clancy. You'll be taking the helm of super-sonic jets, attack helicopters, and the usual array of other slick aircraft. You'll also visit locales like Russia and Dubai, presumably too fast to admire the insane architecture.

"Ace Combat is a beloved franchise and we're excited to take the series into a whole new direction with more visceral and fast-paced action," said producer Kazutoki Kono in the announcement. "Players around the world will find an adventure that will keep them glued to the edge of their seat. They'll feel their adrenaline pumping with every bullet, every explosion and every near miss escape."

      I know it's difficult to do with a casual gamer flight 'sim' but I wish the different aircraft would have more distinctive handling characteristics and weapons systems. The last time I played an Ace Combat game the planes all seemed to handle more or less the same with minor weapons variances.

      Why can't their be any good flight sims on the PC? You could do so much better with graphics and performance.

      That looks like the rail sequences from GRAW1 & 2, not Ace Combat... ah well, fingers crossed.
