----- --- 634319538 Thoughts? --- 634320208 is that Mechzibart kneeling? --- 634320487 This is the second thread with this image. Is it official? If so I like the implication. Trailer followed quad until he was killed by this mech only for the next promotion to be this guy dead too. That said let's have more than one image after many months Gameplay please --- 634320504 >thoughts it certainly is a picture --- 634320824 >>634320487 >This is the second thread with this image. Is it official? ye, it's what shows up as a splash when you try to pre-install the game on xbox --- 634320838 >>634319538 (OP) >Armored Tranny --- 634320924 Isn't this supposed to come out in a few months and we still haven't seen gameplay? --- 634321021 higher quality version --- 634321153 I hope this game has a sense of scale and weight and a 1st person view option I want to feel like I'm in a giant robot, not be a flying metal man in a empty gray void like rest of the game. I want packed city streets to bang into and normal conventional war machines to also fight. --- 634321515 >>634321153 Armored Core combat is extremely spastic so prepare to be disappointed --- 634321734 >>634319538 (OP) he didn't press B enough --- 634321993 >>634321153 Conventional war machines are a given and all over the trailer AC games have something that's hard to express in that it really feels different for each build. You can be as lumbering and tanky or as lithe and anime as you want. It was less prominent in old gen but still there if you aimed for the lightest parts possible with a fuckoff booster. 4 and V gameplay on the light vs heavy end is truly insane. It's like a completely different game depending on your weight class. That said don't expect terrain interaction on that scale. Hell most mech games don't have it either with Mechwarrior 3 being the best off the top of my head --- 634322120 >>634319538 (OP) Literally me --- 634322359 I just wanna see some gameplay I like Souls games but I'm worried that's all they can do know and it will feel mouse like a souls game than a AC game Also I hope they don't do an open world, I had enough of that in Elden Ring --- 634322670 >>634322359 They had an interview earlier where they specifically said it won't have any of those things. Its an armored core game. Simple as that. --- 634322809 >>634322359 There's no open world. They've stated it's mission based on two separate interviews now. As for the gameplay who knows? They say it's being faithful but there's a bit of gameplay variance in Armored Core as it is. Playing like 4 is faithful while very different to playing like 3, which would also be faithful. Plus there's that line about incorporating what they learned and liking the Sekiro poise thing, but Armored Core had a slightly comparable version of that in stability so maybe it's just that? Impossible to say until gameplay but I assure you whatever is shown people are going to say it's exactly like souls and nothing like souls because people are retarded --- 634323035 >>634322359 They had an interview stating it won't be a soulslike and it will retain a mission based structure like the other games in the series. https://www.ign.com/articles/armored-core-6-interview --- 634323284 >>634323035 It's weird for them to say "more single player focused than previous games" when V was the only multiplayer focused one at all. I highly doubt they're not going to have an online VS mode. That'd be retarded I'd love for a co-op option like 2 and 4s mercenary system, but with actual players --- 634323423 >>634319538 (OP) Miyazaki isn't directing, game will be utter dogshit like Dark Souls 2. --- 634323436 >>634321153 I'd say maybe try out V or VD except the meat and potatoes of the game was the online stuff which is I think long dead. I'll miss gliding through city streets, casually smashing cars on my way through. --- 634323515 >>634323423 DS2 was the best Souls game though? --- 634323528 >>634323423 its being directed by the guy who made sekiro, thier magnus opus --- 634323638 >>634323423 It's the dude that directed Sekiro though. DS 2 is my least favorite souls game too, but I'd hardly call it dogshit --- 634323674 >>634323528 based >>634323423 BTFO --- 634323707 >>634321021 Forgive me... --- 634323764 >>634323528 >*CLANG* >*CLANG* >*CLANG* >*magical red dot appears* >*press R1 to instakill enemy* >repeat 800 times until the game ends Suckiro was shit and Armored Core 6 will be shit just like Dark Souls 2 was shit. --- 634323785 >>634323764 cope tendie --- 634323815 >>634323423 Except DS2 was soo much better mechanically then DS1 and DeS that Miyazaki git Taniumura as co-director for DS3 and ER (their current best game by far) --- 634323823 >>634320924 They'll probably show gameplay at the Summer's Game Fest but it's still weird that they haven't shown us anything beyond a trailer. --- 634323865 >>634323515 What question are you asking? --- 634323923 >>634321021 i wonder what the lore implications are for the mech missing an arm and being damaged. has vaatividya commented on this yet? --- 634323986 >>634321153 I'd tell you to play Titanfall 1 (not 2) but alas it is dead --- 634324151 >>634323674 >takes 20 emblems to kill a miniboss that you could kill in a few clang clangs This is the problem with shitkirou --- 634324283 >>634321153 Get away from my franchise, tertiary. --- 634324287 >LE SAD KNEELING KNIGHT >now LE SAD KNEELING ROBOT Creatively bankrupt --- 634324495 >>634321021 I really do wonder if that's going to be our flagship AC. It's not like Berlioz or Leos Klein or Evangel, where they're proudly standing up, but this one's fucking trashed and kneeling over. Even in V and VD had their flagships at least functional. --- 634324785 >>634324283 Can't believe it took this long for this reply. --- 634324802 >>634324495 one of the first ACs in the trailer is a piece of junk that looks like it was built out of spare parts, so I wouldn't be surprised if From Soft's 'everything is dead and decaying' fetish has managed to sneak into the AC design here too --- 634324883 >>634324287 >DS1 Explicitly a Berserk reference, and it's DLC >DS2 Where does this art even come from? It's not coverart for the original or scholar, it's not in the title screen or credits, it's not the Steam page HUD, where does this come from? >DS3 Clearly standing >Elden Ring 1/4 --- 634324934 >>634324495 It's nothing new, the PSP release for Last Raven for instance had Fascinator getting its arm blown on the cover, AC games had a number of different covers and it wasn't just ACs standing there stoically, hell MoTA had Leos Klein and Nineball duking it out --- 634325225 >>634324883 >Where does this art even come from? It's not coverart for the original or scholar, it's not in the title screen or credits, it's not the Steam page HUD, where does this come from? Black Armor Edition art --- 634325231 >>634324802 Isn't it the opposite though? That junker AC at the beginning was picking up chunks of other broken ACs and throwing them into some little backpack. I wanna say that one was some kind of scavenger just gathering shit to bring back to base. It was at least functional. >>634324934 I mean yeah, but my point is mostly that they're all intact. The flagship for 6 (if that is real and not just some shitpost fanart) is a ruined piece of shit, not a pilot who is clearly dominant in their battlefield. It's off-putting if we're expected to look forward to some guy in a collapsed AC, as opposed to these guys who are clearly threats. However this is also presumably just a splash screen, so we'll need to see the actual cover before we have a proper gauge on things. --- 634325353 Big Guy (metal version) with a Big Gun ...Forget Me... *ai generated orchestra chords* --- 634325356 >>634324802 it'd hardly be a new thing to AC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6QU2i6-BQc [Embed] --- 634325459 >>634321021 fuck me fromsofts art and general design is SO FUCKING GOOD --- 634325470 >this entire thread The mindbreak is real holy fucking shit --- 634325581 >>634325231 I think it's just from becoming less subtle All AC games were post apocalyptic heartless corporate warfare simulators with mission often being "Lol destroy this habitation block and/or remove these murder drones from this habitation block" The pulverizers trying to kill all of humanity, ect ect. This is just wearing it on it's sleeve a bit more and in any of those game if there wasn't a Ravens nest/collard stand in them yeah most ACs would be battered to hell and back without quality repairs --- 634325790 >>634325581 I guess that might be it. I'm used to the only game that legitimately feels apocalyptic being the 5th gen games, but even then the AC's at least looked intact. But it's all conjecture over a splash screen honestly, there's nothing to pull from this that'll matter in the actual game anyways. --- 634325828 >>634325231 to be fair the first thing we heard about the world for AC6 is that it fucking exploded and now everyone's back because it's about to fucking explode again no wonder everything on Rubicon is a shithole --- 634325931 >>634319538 (OP) >Zanzibart Mk. VI... forgive me... --- 634326020 >>634321021 I like the implications that it gives. It isn't just the wrecked AC, but the fact that everything around it is trashed or destroyed as well. It really helps setup the fact that the world we're going into is likely a complete and utter shithole, and it the end game of when corps pretty much run a world into the ground. --- 634326263 >>634319538 (OP) It screams Last Raven to me. Mechagods will be eating good no doubt. --- 634326547 >>634319538 (OP) woah cool robot --- 634326898 >>634319538 (OP) Should've used reverse-joint. --- 634327192 >>634326547 This ain't gundam, that's the correct response to AC. --- 634327193 >>634326898 take your chickenshit outta here --- 634327250 >>634327192 This ain't your granny's mecha --- 634327448 >>634321021 trailer pilebunker AC...what happened to you man... --- 634328057 I am going to take this AC thread as an opportunity to bring up the classic nerd debate, perhaps "Mechs are dumb because they would never make sense IRL." In a world where you are not constrained by modern tech and costs, the ACs of this world would be very useful in combat. They are essentially the perfect multipurpose weapons platform, and are modeled after nature's apex predator, human beings. An upright human-like design has several desirables features that provide flexibility and combat effectiveness. >Tall with primary censors in the relatively small "head", maximizing FOV while minimizing the size of a critical point. >Arms and opposable thumbs capable of utilizing a variety of different types of weapons in the hands, with shields and blades able to be mounted on arms. >Additional weapons/supplies/boosters to be stored on the shoulders and back while maintaining agility. >Bidepal design enables a flexible combination of balance, agility, and load bearing. Can stand or navigate virtually any type of footing it can reach. Can strafe in any direction quickly and turn on a dime. Can adjust to more specified (treads, quads) legs for more specific missions. >Can manipulate form to fit environment by bending, crouching, standing, etc. >Can be loaded with all sort of counter-measures and electronic warfare capability just as modern combat vehicles are. As for ACs in general: >Far more mobile, heavily armored, and adaptable than tanks >Less mobile but far stronger than combat aircraft >Too heavily armored to be worried about conventional AA or AT tank missiles >Modular design allowing mission flexibility In an urban environment, an AC would swiftly maneuver and strafe across streets, erasing everything on them with high caliber automatic cannons and missiles. On an anti-air mission, it could be fitted with drones and strapped with dozens of AA missiles. On an artillery mission, it could be put on treads and turn into a highly mobile long range cannon. --- 634328067 >>634327448 He just got tired of winning --- 634328165 >>634321021 dark soul if he steel --- 634328328 >>634321021 >Same, if not extremely similar head part >Also has the visor on Scan Modo bros, we're so fucking back --- 634328995 will it be megastructure kino? --- 634329034 >>634328057 Crippled legs typed this post. --- 634329086 >>634328328 I swear to God if I have to deal with SHISUTEMU: SKYAN MOODO-SHISUSTEMU: SENTOU MOODO ping pong one more time I'm losing my fucking shit I do hope they keep the silly CPU voice options from V though. --- 634330336 >>634323764 if you don't have anything of substance to say, then please just remain silent --- 634330449 Does anyone know how to into PS3 emulation? I'm trying to play 4 on rcps3 and I can't figure out if the iso I downloaded is corrupt or if I'm just retarded, I try to open the PS3_game folder and it just says "invalid or corrupted" --- 634330726 >>634320208 Mechzibart forgive me… --- 634330736 >>634328328 As long as it’s not gay as fuck like ACV I’ll be good for it. I can’t help but like visor kino on my mecha --- 634330803 >>634328057 Basado --- 634330856 >>634321021 >destroyed arm Last Raven bros we’re back --- 634330939 >>634319538 (OP) Kino --- 634331194 >>634323923 I unscrewed the arm and it fell off --- 634331435 >>634330449 >pic now this is good comedy --- 634331893 >>634330449 there is a bug in the later RPCS3 versions where the radar-dots aren't displayed. breaks some missions for 4 i recommend emulating on xenia-canary. runs perfectly. you just have to reduce the buffered-frames in the config to fix audio-lag for 4 For Answer you gotta go back to RPCS3. radar bug is gone but it occasionally crashes during mission breefings --- 634332336 It would be really cool if they had joint role missions. Like combined arms. One AC is tasked with AA and has to focus on air targets and an AA loadout while another AC has to take on ground targets for example. This would be perfect for Co-op but I doubt its co-op. --- 634332342 >>634331893 I see, thanks for the advice I think the issue was that I had to decrypt the iso and do some other shit, trying to make it work now --- 634332676 >>634321021 That looks so good, its gonna be my first mecha game. --- 634332996 >>634330736 >gm sniper kill yourself you fucking nigger. --- 634333359 >>634331893 >>634332342 I found using RPCS3 version 0.0.25-14474 largely eliminated the cutscene crashes, no idea why this old version specifically but it might be worth checking out for yourself if the crashes become an issue. --- 634334378 >>634319538 (OP) Who is the lead main designer? I don't suppose it going to be Kawamori. --- 634335634 >>634332342 Yeah, it was having to decrypt the iso, I've got it running now. Which of the starting ACs is recommended? I like the look of the Aaliyah the most. Radar seemed to work fine in the tutorial, by the way. --- 634336012 >>634335634 Aaliyah for sure. If it’s your very first time hogire is fine to get the ropes, but Aaliyah is the most bang for your buck --- 634336179 >>634334378 I'm guessing Masaru Yamamura is double booked as both director and Lead game dev, since Miyazaki was the initial game director AND there's that co-director mentioned in the Taipei Game Show interview. --- 634336432 >>634324287 ok make something better tranny, also you will never be a woman --- 634336559 >>634321153 sorry first person weight chad but unfortunately most AC games dont offer that just go back to Titanfall 2 --- 634337171 >>634336012 Thanks anon --- 634337349 >>634319538 (OP) Kinoa honestly Kinoa --- 634337603 >>634321153 City streets are a series tradition. --- 634337757 >>634337171 No problem --- 634337849 AC6 later this year (Fall?).

The sky is ultra red which is a contrast to the "ice-age" environment we get in the trailer. My prediction is that we are going to play folllowing the cataclysmic explosion. --- 634342338 >Armored Core fans excited to play it for the first time --- 634342834 >>634319538 (OP) I hope Armored Core VI is so good that whenever you look up "AC game" on Google Armored Core will appear instead of Assassin's Creed. --- 634342927 >>634342243 It's a fromsoft game so yes you're going to play in a desolated, decaying shithole full of insane people --- 634343119 >>634321734 You press X to boost and click the rigtht stick to turbo boost in Armoured Core --- 634343360 >>634328995 Certainly gave off Nihei stuff with the giant concrete column structures in the back there. --- 634343459 >>634328057 >censors that's it, spotted the bait --- 634343539 AUGH RELEASE DATE WHEN, I WANT TO FUCKING PLAY IT SO BAD. --- 634343553 >>634339729 GET THE LINEAR RIFLES --- 634343754 >>634321021 --- 634343960 >>634334378 Not sure yet, but the designs do vibe very much with his works.

I hope for a videogame adaptation eventually --- 634347352 This game is going to end up the same way as the AC that released after DS1, which 99% of the people in this thread didn't play, forgotten. --- 634347559 >>634339729 Hopefully not because all of LR's ACs can be beaten by looping their piss poor AI through spiral strafing. It's probably going to be as focused on that kind of fight though, but nowadays FROM knows better in terms of programming than making up for poor routines with every possible cheat allowed, ER showed they're extremely capable of making passable enemy AI that doesn't need H+ and bloated stats to make those absurd enemy AC work. --- 634347840 >>634346253 >one of the few companies that still gives half a shit is making a new game >it looks kino and people are excited >this is somehow a bad thing --- 634347853 >>634347559 This is the Sekiro team Reminder Genichiro still flails at nothing even if you run on the other side of the arena and you can bait his mirkiri for an easy counter by healing --- 634348020 >>634346616 >compared to the PS2 games where OB was an emergency move Oh I see, you're a scrub. That is certainly not the best way to play the PS2 games --- 634348092 >>634348020 I beat them all, including the arena --- 634348148 I'm going to laugh at Soulsfags who have absolutely no idea what they have coming if they expect AC to be anything like Souls. --- 634348198 >>634347352 Even after DS, FROM was not a household name. Nobody knew about Demons even existing, and no one thought the company could strike gold twice, much less like 6 times in a row. --- 634348295 >>634344115 Gen 3 is the peak of the series in my opinion, enjoy. Last Raven > Silent Line > Nexus > 3, and they're all great. --- 634348357 >>634348295 My nigger. --- 634348371 >>634346237 >tendie out of fucking NOWHERE Nintendo MINDBROKE you. --- 634348415 >>634319538 (OP) Zanzibot... forgive me... --- 634348454 >>634346958 Oh i think its pretty neat, but it just seems like a bad color to market your game on. --- 634348681 >>634348295 I’m very interested in Silent Line after 3. Unsure if I’ll go as far as Last Raven but that depends on how much I enjoy SL --- 634348702 >>634338864 The game is probably finished already months ago and they're just waiting for good release window. Hope they took the opportunity to polish the game more, can't afford to fuck up their first mecha game in a decade now. --- 634348707 >>634348148 >Several thousand articles that will inevitably come out all lambasting the game for its "poor controls" and "confusing" encounters >"Should you play Armored Core 6?????" videos everywhere where some shitter who doesn't even know how to use his mobility claims the game is too hard for 99% of people who play games >Dark Souls streamers who have made a career on riding From's coattails all get slaughtered on many stages and many of them quit early >Tons of people will think the game is bullshit/unplayable garbage and it'll get extremely poor ratings >From will never know it's just shitters being retards and they'll once again think the Western audience simply doesn't enjoy AC --- 634348757 >>634347853 The director is the same as Sekiro but that doesn't mean they'll repeat the same mistakes, it's also a radically different type of game so that kind of aggravatingly exploitable routines won't be needed. I do find it weird how they rushed to correct Sword Saint Isshin's loop after a week and left so many other glaring issues in programming with their other bosses though, shitposters make a big deal about ER having things like the foreskin duo throwing meatballs if you sip but none of them bitch about things like Genichiro spamming his command grab at mid range if you dare press R1. --- 634348864 >>634348681 Silent Line's ending was the first time I felt really impacted by the story in the series. I find it hard that you won't feel like playing more of the series after finishing SL. So fucking good. --- 634349157 >>634327448 What are the lore implications of Armored Core mercenaries in space using giant version of an Italian shotgun that hasn't been in production since the 21th century? --- 634349274 >>634348757 The problem is precisely porting Sekiro's boss behavior but not the player controls. Input reading is a lesser issue in Sekiro because it lets you cancel a swing halfway through to deflect, instead of not only making you commit, but buffering commands 3 years in advance as well. Sekiro bosses endlessly flailing at you in anime combos means you get a shitload of deflect opportunities, building their posture meter. Defense is an active process in Sekiro, you're not waiting for your turn while avoiding damage and looking for unclear gaps, their anime combos are your turn as well. R1 is Sekiro's neutral, not just offense. --- 634349339 >>634346253 >NOOOO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO ENJOY A NEW AC AFTER A TEN YEARS HIATUS HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN Get fucked >>634346084 0/10 made me reply --- 634349362 >>634321021 they are bringing limb damage system into the series or it always had it i only tried playing the ps1 and early ps2 games and the gameplay was so shit that i pleb filtered me --- 634349437 >>634349157 It looks cool --- 634349442 >>634349157 Italy makes very sexy guns --- 634349630 >>634334378 Kawamori is busy with Daemon X Machina 2 atm and i'd figure the devs wouldn't let him working for their main competition lmao. --- 634349651 >>634349339 If i made you reply how come its a 0/10? Surely you dont go around replaying to every shitty troll like an impulsive retard do you? Surely you understand the whole point of "dont feed the troll" saying dont you? Dumbass. --- 634349669 >>634349274 You can't deflect grabs in Sekiro, by the same reasoning I can say the stricter buffer in ER is there to prevent Sekiro's issue of L1 spam turning you invincible. >Defense is an active process in Sekiro, you're not waiting for your turn ER is the exact same outside of not having the game tell you whether you need Rock, Paper or Scissor through glowing icons. --- 634349687 >>634349157 Italian guns are pure sex --- 634349948 Still kinda wish we had a semi-open game where you have to scavenge parts off of enemy ACs and derelict hangars/factories. Hyped for ACVI though --- 634349985 >>634348454 I think at this point people don't care what color FROM markets. --- 634350012 >>634349630 DxM2 is a thing? huh. first game wasn't bad, but they no longer have the "From is too busy milking Souls" buff, so they really need to step it up. --- 634350042 >>634349948 That would just turn into Nioh looter shit though, no thanks. Any new parts should be purposeful. --- 634350056 >>634349948 >find hanger in a hard to reach place >Figure out the trick to get there >"Received Mushroom" Elden Ring proved they can't fill an open world --- 634350063 >>634349948 They do mention some aspect of explorations in the game so i don't think it's going to be this overtly linear affair. --- 634350084 >>634350056 kek --- 634350310 >>634349985 Maybe not, but i still would be impressed if this ends up being the art cover they go with. --- 634350458 >>634346959 Based Mech enjoyer --- 634350606 damn people werent kidding about the AC fights in Last Raven i think i'm gonna take a break and replay the PS1 games --- 634350953 >We'll never have FROM+Nagano game --- 634350971 My only singular hope and improvement they make for this series is having some longer form exploratory levels. Doesn't have to be much. Just two to three missions that start off slower paced as the player soaks a vast field before everything becomes a large scale dogfight. --- 634352698 >>634352625 >exposed leg joints lewd --- 634353124 >>634350953 Or VOTOMS --- 634353370 I miss Shirow's power armor designs --- 634353486 >art show me the fucking gameplay already --- 634353586 >>634319538 (OP) I hope it's the mech souls game we have all been wanting. --- 634353587 >>634326898 What is even the benefit of reverse joint? At that point just go 4 legs? --- 634353597 >>634353486 boost strafing things things --- 634353846 Will hover legs make a return? --- 634353856 cant wait to be a asshole in missions --- 634353985 >>634353587 In [at least the older] AC games reverse joint had very good native jumps and landings making them optimal for ariel play, as well as being on the lightish side though with heavier variants. Quads were pretty shit for ariel sharing the properties of tank legs, they weren't as sturdy as tank legs either but they were the fastest legs you could get. Then hover was introduced and then quads got changes and everything is weird --- 634354004 One day I WILL own this --- 634354096 >>634354004 --- 634354209 >>634354096 --- 634354232 >>634354004 i want the fanart ginjiki version of it in a statue --- 634354379 >>634354232 pic? --- 634354486 The only one I played was verdict day and I liked it especially the customize and clans and shit. Why did AC fans hate it so much? --- 634354519 >>634354379 --- 634354538 >>634322359 >>634322670 >>634322809 As a og armored core fan I hope the gameplay is exactly like a souls like because that is what og armored core played like. It was just mecha kings field. Slow and clunky. Get ac5 zoomzoom speed out of here and give me slow clunky deliberate mechs instead. Give me a poise system, give me a dodge button and most importantly give me the moonlight sword. --- 634354552 >>634354519 lewd --- 634354641 >>634319538 (OP) >Thoughts? I still can't believe its happening Those parts look vaguely familiar I wonder if they got Kawamori to design parts again I need to take a shit --- 634354648 I know it's useless, but I would love to walk around the hanger and get up close to mech --- 634354789 >>634354648 Mechwarrior 5 did that, I hope AC6 does it too because it is really neat --- 634354854 >>634354486 i heard it was because of the lower speed from 4, the constant' scanno modo' feature thats needed for looking for enemies in detailed environments, the focus on teams rather than solo, and the aiming. I never tried VD but i played that fangame hammr which was sorta like it and i hate the up close UI info on the reticle --- 634355065 >>634354538 So you WANT to i-frame roll on a robot and then attack once every 4 minutes because the enemy or boss refuses to stop attacking while having passive infinite hyper armor? you got shit taste in gameplay, guy --- 634355102 Give me sexy mechs --- 634355137 >>634354789 >>634354648 Its unlikely but it wouldnt be hard to do, just take the ER cc and movement while in the base. --- 634355197 >>634355137 >ER cc BARF --- 634355216 >>634354538 SLOW DELIBERATE STOMPY GROUNDED LMAO --- 634355247 >>634355137 >>634355197 >ER cc what? --- 634355265 >>634355102 i think this is based off diancie from pokemon --- 634355306 >>634355247 E(lden) R(ing) c(haracter) c(reator) --- 634355318 >>634355065 No no not dark souls 3 not elden ring gameplay I want dark souls 1 gameplay. Heavy slow combat where you can meme on bosses if you know how. I know it won't happen because from is currently addicted to add turbo boss fights but it's my dream --- 634355331 >>634355216 Perfect --- 634355457 >>634355216 Never said grounded and the webm you posted shows the clunky slow movement I long for anon. Did you begin the series in 4? I dare you to go back and replay the PS1 games and tell me they are just as fast --- 634355581 >>634355457 actually they got slower in armored core 2 to make them feel more grounded. they only got faster in Nexus --- 634355589 >>634355197 Its that or nothing, because they arent wasting dev time for a new cc in a game that is 99% mechs. --- 634355684 >>634355589 The best mech pilots are lolis --- 634355872 >>634355684 >wasting lolis on mechs Bleh. --- 634356114 >>634355684 the best mech pilots use human plus for intense simulated VR --- 634356197 >>634350953 Nagano's too autistic to work with anyone. --- 634356216 >>634319538 (OP) That's obviously AI generated --- 634356326 >>634356197 Nagano worked on SEGA for some PSO2 costumes/weapons/MAGs --- 634356458 >>634356114 --- 634356536 >>634356458 Even Nineball uses it. Why cant I? --- 634356604 >>634355589 i'll take the nothing, thanks. --- 634356637 >>634356536 Nineball is a Cheater McFaggot who's the main enabler of everything wrong in AC1. --- 634356837 >>634348707 >>634348148 >Saw a webm of a soulsfag quitting monster hunter because he got carted once Yup. Shitters shitting on shit they don't understand incoming. --- 634357086 >>634356837 that video is so funny, it's a fucking khezu too --- 634357204 >>634356536 tbf, the way to become human plus was to be a shitter who lost at the game too much, and the actually strong parts of it, like not having to kneel to fire shoulder cannons, only comes after like the fourth or fifth gameover. --- 634357354 >>634357086 The Great Wall of white fat and shocking attacks claims another pathetic YouTuber. Can’t wait for the same people to post “build guides” for the “best armor core robot” that’ll be pathetically tuned and carried by the most noob friendly missiles or some shit. --- 634357464 >>634357354 >here's why hiding the easy mode behind 5 game overs is transphobic --- 634357482 >>634356114 >human Can we train chatgpt to pilot a mech? --- 634357568 Do we have any confirmation on Kota working on the OST? --- 634357593 >>634357482 maybe. someone make a nineball ac drone --- 634357641 >>634356197 >>634356326 Nagano worked on quite a few games and anime, actually. He just likes to play his own series very close to the vest He'd probably be down for a video game adaptation if a studio would just loan him all the equipment to let him make it by himself. --- 634357660 Mechs are cool and all. But have you thought about just making a simplistic functional hunk of floating metal that can be easily mass produced, easily modded, and lacks any overdesigned failyre points? --- 634357805 >>634357660 --- 634357806 >>634357641 what is this kusoge? --- 634357817 >>634357354 It's pretty depressing how many people follow stuff like that. I guess it has always been a thing with gamefaqs, strategy guides, and some reviews but with how easily accessible it is now people tend to jump to guides/cheese strat videos after any amount of struggle --- 634357925 >>634357806 Kusokino --- 634358020 >>634319538 (OP) People expecting this to be a souls like are in for a rude awakening. --- 634358059 >>634357593 No, but seriously. I want them to bring back the trainable AI from Silent Line. --- 634358124 i'm going to miss FreQuency's music, it may of been a garbled mess that sounded like it was coming out of a broken amp but it had some grooves to it. --- 634358196 >>634358124 No reason to think they're not doing this one --- 634358218 >>634357660 We already have a ball mecha bro --- 634358757 will the v and vd ever be playable on rpcs3? --- 634358823 >>634342338 >>634344517 No one played 5 because it was mediocre and 4 came out in 06 --- 634358873 >>634357660 There's an entire anime about exactly this, where the main protag's group has a mech that's just a massive ball with fuck you guns mounted all over it. Every mech is some variation of how to slap as big of weapons as conceivably possible on a somehow functionally useful base. Show's underrated for actually having a fair bit of screen time to the logistics of changing parts and mechanics. Now if only we could get a game in this vein. --- 634359030 >>634358873 >sounds coo- >already downloaded --- 634359131 >>634357568 not yet, but he seems pretty excited for the game, using it as his twitter banner and all. I figure that if he's not doing the OST it's just because he doesn't want to. --- 634359237 The trailer OST has a little of Blade Runner touch and I hope there would more to it. --- 634359240 >>634321021 AS AN ACFAG SINCE 1997 I AM BEYOND HYPED --- 634359258 >>634355065 >>634355216 Stop replying to bait retards. --- 634359406 >>634355216 Im about to replay this masterpiece again. It has aged like fine wine. Armored Core even in the ps1 days had absolutely majestic combat and depth to its overall design --- 634359518 >>634359406 I loved the missions were you go underground and kill bugs --- 634359524 Whoch prior AC game did Miyazaki work on? --- 634359572 >>634359524 Last Raven, 4 and For Answer. --- 634359648 >>634358124 I do not trust a soul on this planet that dislikes FreQuency. https://youtu.be/7kLPPUQyLNA [Embed] --- 634359728 >>634350953 If From ever worked with Nagano there'd be some petty as fuck stipulation that it'd never release outside of Japan in perpetuity --- 634359748 redpill me on ac can I build an entirely drone-dependent mecha? and no, i dont mean just funnels --- 634359776 >>634359648 Pure fucking gold --- 634359914 >>634359728 That's fine, I'm not EOP anymore --- 634359980 >>634359748 like dummys? orbitals? nope. back weapons or extensions only --- 634359990 any bets on the odds of getting at least one cute feminine mech this go-round? --- 634359997 >>634358873 >Primary themes of the story are intact froms tart to finish >Qwenser and Heivia expertly detail the obscenely dangerous potency of sabotage in a world of base-destroying superweapons >Said base-destroying superweapons are also of such potency that when (you)r side's weapon is destroyed, there's not even an attempt to fight back, just an immediate full retreat with a desperate hope to simply survive the coming massacre >Still get sexy-beyond-reason Froyletia just to add some levity to the story >Non-stop logistics autism throughout every fight, regular politics autism to justify why nations might be fighting or would have a sudden truce despite brutal engagements moments prior, etc. Heavy Object is an absolute treat.

I've never played armored core but I love mecha --- 634360090 >>634360036 does the steam deck run Sekiro? if so, most likely. --- 634360142 >>634359990 Depends on what you mean by "cute" and "feminine". --- 634360184 >>634360090 I don't know is AC 6 going to be on ps4? the deck I think is on par with that spec wise --- 634360187 imagine using energy weapons --- 634360234 >>634360142 like, bare minimun effeminate like the 063 from acfa. --- 634360269 >>634359990 I hope for xexy hips --- 634360285 >>634360184 Yep, Xbox One too. --- 634360312 >>634360036 Yeah. If the Deck can run Elden Rangzz and Sekiro it can most likely run this too. --- 634360315 >>634360269 And girlcock too apparently --- 634360345 >>634360269 thats a normal core using NEXT legs --- 634360517 >>634359748 Depending on which game you will have the option of placing emplacements and there are some weapons that have funnel-esque properties to them, but to take out an enemy using only those is extremely hard because their output is shit and they can be shot down. Otherwise if you play ACVD you can use UNACs and build a team of entirely (programmable) AI-controlled ACs and progress through the story with one, or go into the online mode with a full team of them. --- 634360843 an article was posting saying they want to release AC6 before ER's DLC drops, and that put the launch window somewhere around September-October. hopefully thats still true. --- 634360867 >>634346846 1 and all of its accompanying games you could build small light mechs with functionally infinite boosting. --- 634361030 >>634323923 >has vaatividya commented on this yet? yeah he said you're a faggot for listening to an e-celebs opinion --- 634361195 should I play other ACs or just wait for 6? --- 634361447 >>634360269 the Woundwort is dangerously sexy from an engineering standpoint AND a design standpoint and it's seriously one of my favorite mechs ever. --- 634361505 >>634319538 (OP) Looks fucking sick, I'm hyped. Armored Core has always been one of my favorite series, I can still remember saving up my mcpaychecks for a PS1 after playing the demo over and over at a friend's house. I'd be perfectly happy with a "traditional" AC game that's just nothing but garage+combat missions+lore emails but I do wonder if they'll try to evolve the formula a little bit. DxM had a bunch of cool shit, shame the game was so piss easy that there was never much use for any of it. >Hop out of the mech and fight, and/or get in a different mech/vehicle, I always thought a mission where you killed a giant boss by shooting out its pilot and then got in and used the big guns would be tight >Find weapon/ammo pickups, attack with objects in the environment, maybe even give electronic warfare heads more use by letting them hack stationary defenses and/or drone dispensers >More biological enemies, maybe giant creatures with parts you can blow off with gore and shit >More environmental destruction, we need more than just tiny buildings that instantly despawn with an explosion sprite, bullet holes, plasma burns, craters, anything >I don't care if it makes me a soulsfag, I want some form of drop in/drop out co-op. Bonus payouts if you allow invasions, summon signs to co-op bosses, I would eat that shit up. >Come up with some way to have a space battle! Rip off the flight mechanics of Ace Combat of something and handwave it away by strapping a space booster pack on the AC or something, fuck you I want it I dunno, I know AC is pretty committed to being all about just heavy metal corpo war but it's the only half decent mech series around anymore and as a result my wish is for it to fulfill every cool thing you could ever want to do with a mech. None of this shit will happen but I can dream. --- 634361645 >>634361505 >None of this shit will happen And thank fuck for that because they're all awful ideas. --- 634361902 i have yet to see a single person say they;ve played this series yet everyones hyped --- 634361945 I played the hell out of a demo, not sure which AC it was, in the official playstation magazine and I loved it but for some reason I never got the game. This will be my first AC, but I remember looking forward to Mechwarrior online --- 634361973 >>634361902 Try FightinCowboy --- 634361985 >>634361645 Shut up zoomer, I got my first boner for a mech before your dad even hit puberty, quit trying to fit in because your generation's getting nuked before it's even relevant. --- 634362052 Why is /v/ pretending to be ACfans now? --- 634362065 >>634347116 You're in luck, because there is a Final Fantasy Tactics-esque game being made Kickstarter that reached it's goal called Lancer Tactics. It even has a demo on either the KS page or the itch.io page if you wanna try it out. --- 634362110 >>634361985 this post was made by a 17 year old --- 634362145 >>634361447 --- 634362207 As someone who came from the slower simulation autism mecha PC scene, will I be able to cope with I presume is more zip zoom arcadey combat? --- 634362242 >>634362052 because of from's fame now that they can make quality tier games now. I hope they still can --- 634362250 >>634361505 >DxM had a bunch of cool shit DxM was terrible, braindead shit precisely because it had horrible ideas like ammo pickups which made resource management nonexistent and wasted time on pointless shit like a useless meatbag mode --- 634362310 >>634362052 I see famous company name and get hyped! --- 634362321 I can’t wait for Souls shitters to buy this and make little meta builds they copied off YouTube for me to roll in with a nade quad and isntanuke their asses. --- 634362347 >>634362052 This meme has been going on since the AC6 announcement, what's the point? --- 634362365 >>634361985 One of these days you retards will learn that on foot TPS shit is always a detriment to mech or other vehicle focused games. --- 634362381 >>634362207 its not that bad its like going from flight simulator to ace combat if you know the fundamentals of mecha customization, resource conversation, and mecha controls then itll track --- 634362442 >>634362207 Just play one and see for yourself, PCmustardface should know how easy it is to emulate --- 634362463 >>634362207 Early AC titles were an in-between of the two extremes. If 6 is like them as well, it wouldn't be too big of an issue. --- 634362530 >>634362381 Is there a lot of heat sink autistry? I'm sure weight will play a factor. --- 634362568 >>634362110 >>634362250 >>634362365 Thank fuck Armored Core was never popular and normie secondaries will immediately fade away after the first gameplay reveal. --- 634362629 >>634362207 The whole appeal is the customization. You could make a light zippy AC and kill by a thousand cuts or a heavy AC that will annihilate enemies in a broadside of weapons fire. --- 634362631 >>634324283 soulskings own this now, its ours. --- 634362669 >>634362568 The mission-based systen is definitely going to cut off half of the casuals who want to play it. People ar too obsessed with seamless cinematic experiences these days to stomach a return to form. --- 634362694 >>634362530 Not nearly that detailed. Heat as a real mechanic only shows up in 3rd gen, it just forces you to look at radiator stats and be aware of calorific values on boosters and some of the sillier weapons Weight is very simple. Your legs can hold a certain amount, don't go over it. --- 634362703 >>634362242 Please stop piloting an armored core inside the library --- 634362862 >>634362568 Armored Core being obscure is a recent zoomer meme. Everyone with a PS1 played Armored Core in some form, and it even had a regular monthly column in game magazines for readers to send in their custom builds. This continued to the end of the 6th gen where 4 fell off, but For Answer was a big deal again and brought in a lot of new blood. If AC was so fucking "niche", it never would have gotten more entries than Final Fantasy --- 634362919 >>634362703 No --- 634363001 >>634362862 You forgot the part where everyone routinely made fun of the series for the yearly releases. But given how you're deliberately misrepresenting the magazine shit I'm not surprised that you're a dishonest bitch. --- 634363012 >>634321021 This game is going to be so good and will bring a huge swarm of new players who never before played an AC game. --- 634363054 >>634362694 Based, thanks. I'm looking forward to it. MW:O was kind of a letdown for me. --- 634363094 My wish is that the girls in this series arent just disembodied voices anymore. Give us a face. --- 634363108 >>634363001 >You forgot the part where everyone routinely made fun of the series for the yearly releases Who? Where? You? You weren't born yet, homo. --- 634363216 >>634322359 It's not all they know. Miyazaki MADE fucking armored core games in the past --- 634363243 >>634363094 No. Waifufags begone, AC is for mechasexuals ONLY. --- 634363298 >>634363108 Very convenient for you to ignore being called out on the magazine lie. --- 634363317 >>634328057 >"Mechs are dumb because they would never make sense IRL." Literal retarded smark shit nobody gives a shit about on the same mental level of guys who make ">JRPG >Kill god" threads --- 634363390 >>634363001 kek ChatGPT hallucination Fix your prompts --- 634363480 >>634348707 >>Dark Souls streamers who have made a career on riding From's coattails all get slaughtered on many stages and many of them quit early From already has reputation as >le heckin hard gamerino So I'm pretty sure people will stick with it based on that alone even if they don't like it. Wonder if From is going to get a review bonus just from being From at this point --- 634363502 >>634320208 >>634330726 can't wait to fight Myrmitron of Loss --- 634363582 >>634363502 Zanzibot... --- 634363596 >>634362862 >Everyone with a PS1 played Armored Core in some form bruh, the whole PS1 trilogy couldn't sell more than one million, everyone with a ps1 my ass, now we're playing maximum contrarians and pretending AC was also super mainstream? Please. >it never would have gotten more entries than Final Fantasy What does that have to do with actual popularity? SRW has like triple the entries of FF and yet sold like 5% of what FF did, having a niche but loyal userbase=/=being some normalfag franchise that sells millions to different generations of normalfags --- 634363664 >>634362862 Anon, only the first game in each gen is actually a new game, all those other titles were just full priced expansions. That fact alone should tell you it was always supported by a diehard fanbase that was so desperate they'd buy practically the same game 4x in a row and that it was never a widespread thing. It wasn't UNpopular, but you'd definitely never see an AC game on top of the latest Madden game at a normie friend's house. --- 634363689 >>634362862 >Everyone with a PS1 played Armored Core in some form, and it even had a regular monthly column in game magazines for readers to send in their custom builds. This continued to the end of the 6th gen Nigger you're full of shit. Most people with a PS2 didn't even play the AC games. I'll agree with the PS1 statement but that's over 20 years ago. You act like it was yesterday. AC3 - VD all sold poorly but sold enough to continue making them since the cost was dirt cheap thanks to asset flips throughout the entire of the PS2 era. --- 634363705 >>634363298 What lie? --- 634363916 I played Armored Core 3 on the PS2 when I was younger, thought it was boring as shit. I love me some Soulslop but I don't think I'm going to buy AC6 out of loyalty. --- 634363957 >>634363705 That's one magazine. Singular. You won't post another. --- 634363974 >>634324802 >'everything is dead and decaying' fetish has managed to sneak into Please do not tell me you think DS invented that shit. AC didn't invent that shit either they've loved that shit since KF --- 634363997 >>634363689 Who cares nigger One of /v/'s favorite games is EYE for fucks sake Go poll normalfags and see how many of them played it /v/ is not a representative of normal people --- 634364017 >>634361195 It couldn't hurt to try them out, Emulation for gen 1-3 is pretty simple. --- 634364090 >>634363997 If some retarded faggot tried to say >everybody played EYE it's not niche at all You better believe several people will point how fucking stupid it is. --- 634364115 >>634363957 Your fucking nuts are singular, fag, go find more yourself, I did enough of your homework for you. --- 634364151 >>634363997 >One of /v/'s favorite games is EYE for fucks sake You greatly overestimate the actual number of culters, you mistake vocal but small userbases with actual popularity. --- 634364154 >>634362052 People are FROM's fans
