Ace Combat 8 Insanity
Keen-eyed fans might notice a few things about this promotional image! For one, this is very clearly White Valley, a glacial region in Northern Usea featuring in several previous Ace Combat titles.
Notably, it's also the location of a General Resource airbase by sometime in the early-to-mid 2030s. But what I'm interested in is this.
This structure, visible in the top-right corner is clearly the White Valley Military Factory as featured in Ace Combat 4 and Ace Combat 5's arcade mode.
The location alone doesn't mean much, but the historical significance of the location certainly invites speculation!

My little war machine can't be this cute
Just finished Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere and I gotta say, I really enjoyed it. I went down the UPEO/Neucom missions route and took down Ouroboros, severely hampered Neucom and General Resource, and killed the guy in charge of UPEO twice. The graphics are great for the ps1 and I like the plane designs, they're [mostly] grounded yet slightly futuristic, my favorites are the Su-43 Berkut and the R-211 Orcinus.
An old meme of mine from the days of actively fangirling over Ace Combat games. I really gotta come back to those...
