Namco game producer Kazutoki Kono wants to know which Ace Combat, Ridge Racer remakes fans want to see.


Kono posted two polls looking for feedback. In the first, he asked whether people wanted to see a remake of Ace Combat 2, Ace Combat: Electrosphere, Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies, or Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. Early responses show Ace Combat 5 in the lead with 39% of votes, while AC4 trails behind at 29%, AC3 at 25%, and AC2 in last place with 7%.


"I made the poll on an impulse in the middle of the night,” Kono said in a follow up tweet, “but as has been pointed out this morning, I forgot to include [Ace Combat] Zero. Sorry about that.”

In Kono’s second poll, he asked whether people want a remake of a previous Ridge Racer entry or an authentic evolution of one of those games. The tweet encouraged fans to vote for Ridge Racer, Ridge Racer Type 4, Ridge Racer 7, or an Ultra Ridge Racer with many real cars. Currently, R4: Ridge Racer Type 4 leads the pack with 52% of votes so far. It is followed by Ultra RR at 19%, RR7 at 16%, and RR with 13%.

Kono has worked on several Ace Combat and Ridge Racer games during his career at Namco, serving as director of Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War. He is currently filling the producer role the upcoming Ace Combat 7. It’s important to note that Kono does not indicate whether these two polls are officially sanctioned by Bandai Namco, so it’s unclear if the feedback will lead to any final products.

This is awesome news
