I've been tossing around an idea with a French friend of mine who I've been working with on an Ace Combat inspired prototype game that we're making in Unity. So far, the ideas we're coming up with are original, but I've brought up the idea time and again since Bandai-Namco have officially shot down the idea of an AC3 remake. So far, all I've asked to do with him is more of a 'proof of concept' prototype as a means of just showing it possible, however he's been hesitant about the idea due to community pressure. I can certainly understand it, and Project Nemo was a very good attempt at making the Japanese domestic copy playable on an international level (or at least for those in the western world), however what I'm trying to get my friend to help with is trying to do a ground-up rebuild in Unity as a fan remake. Personally, I'd love to do it, and endorsement from Bandai-Namco would only be a bonus and not needed/wanted, but I feel like even a free fan remake would be plenty appreciated by the community even if no money were made from the game from the start.

I'm rather curious what you guys think of this?
