Why does every single Armored Core thread start like this. Like /m/ doesn't know about the quintessential customizable mecha shooter series.

Anyways, I'd like something back to basics with the controls. Maybe include quickboosting by wall jumping but more free, analog and accurate controls would be nice.

>>15631476
There's no confirmation that a new AC's in development, the article that said so's been debunked quite a few times.

What the fuck kind of question is this? On /m/ no less, you From drones are something else

>>15631476
>Has anyone on this board for weeaboo robots played one of this long running series of weeaboo robot games
Yes I think that is possible.

>>15631476
My favorite gaming franchise of all-time, even though AC has more or less always been 50% excellence, 50% garbage per game.

AC3 is best AC

>>15632204
From my knowledge, Armored Core isn't as well known compared to other mech games, so i thought reaching out to 4chan might give me some thoughts about the next AC game

>>15632618
Mind linking the article? Miyazaki already said an AC game is in dev

>>15632623
not sure why you're so triggered, but i'm new here so if AC is quite well known in 4chan community, i'm quite happy to know that

>>15631791
like a new born baby if u want an example

>>15632668
me too, i've only tried Silent Line and i feel they could work more on the story and proper voice acting. If given a chance to try out another AC game, Last Raven is the top of my list along with AC4

>>15631476
From fired all the AC staff members, who made their own company and are making a mecha game for the PC with Unreal.

They also pressured the guy in charge into removing all references to From Software from his profile and their site (but the stuff is still cached in his Linkedin and you can of course just look at his name in the games' credits).

From is a load of chucklefucks and if they make a new AC it'll just be fucking ACE R redux and fucked up by Bamco meddling.

Quick question.

>tldr am I too shit for selling armored core verdict day after 3 missions to bother with the series again or is the learning curve THAT high?

Long time ago classmate brought over a ps1 armored core game, I think it was number 3, we'd have a ball smashing missions and tinkering with our murder mech, good times.

But when I got verdict day I struggled in single player, I thought maybe I could turn down the Ai difficulty until I get into the groove but I couldn't find any, and couldn't do shit with my mech that felt meaningful other than paint it nicely.

I dunno man, I thought I'd have fun, perhaps too many EZ check point based games these days have killed whatever skill I thought I had, didn't bother with mp, knew I would ruin the fun for anyone who still played online

>>15634279
All the important ones, dumbfuck.

>>15634300
VD's learning curve is per the series norm. Last Raven is the only AC game with a high learning curve.

You are, most likely, playing wrong. VD has one of the easiest campaigns in the series.

>>15634315
You got destroyed and that's okay, son.

>>15634321

At least they're free to make their own stuff now, and not all of them went to WCW either, Nabeshima got headhunted by Square and is supposedly working on a new Front Mission.

>>15633935
Wasn't that a mistranslation? The official translation was released later and it just had him say that he'd LIKE to make a new AC with a medieval theme "like Dunbine or Escaflowne", but he added that all the staff around him think it's impossible.

>>15634354

I would play the fuck out of that.

Jesus Christ if Miyazaki wants a new Frame Gride, then just fucking come out and say it. I'll throw money at that shit like a virgin at a strip club

>>15634370
>>15634364
/>"You know, we actually released a Dreamcast game pretty similar to that concept, named Frame Gride. It's a mix of fantasy and mecha genres, both of which I love working on. I'd love to work on a game that evokes the same themes as anime series like Aura Battler Dunbine and The Vision of Escaflowne, but it would be incredibly difficult to do so. I want to work on a game like that, but other people at FromSoftware would think that would be an impossible idea."

>>15634375
>but other people at FromSoftware would think that would be an impossible idea.
Is that really coming from the company that made The Adventures of Cookie and Cream?

>>15634421
Thats just their way of telling him to stop the bullshit and to keep making Souls games since they have finally found a game that can bring them good money

>>15635156
Souls became shit after demon and dark 1 though.

>>15635184
The people that buy it and the devs who get the money do not actually care, sadly AC wasn't such a high selling franchise, so now that they have one that sells a whole lot they are more likely to keep making it until people stop caring and even then they might just change the formula/setting a bit and keep getting the money

I may be one of the few who really liked the direction V took the series, but 4 and 4A definitely had the best moments.

Soundtrack was pretty stellar too.

>>15631476

Will the new game be available for PC?

>>15633935
If you didn't get it by now. This is the article the rumor spread from.

and as>>15634354 and >>15634375 pointed out it was a mistranslation. He'd LIKE to work on a new AC but its not in the foreseeable future.

>>15631476
E3 has come and go, nothing was announced, really worry about AC6 now

armored core is more of a TGS thing than e3

Nabeshima is making a Front Mission at Square, that's just as good as a new AC right?

Anon, AC is more of a TGS showcase rather than an E3 one. If you're worrying about it, worry about it after TGS (that is, if nothing comes up about it in the event)

>QUICKBOOST is the best thing ever happened.

I really disagree. It's a neat idea and would work nice if it's an ability with a lot of cooldown to be used as an emergency evade. But the way it works in fA is too spammy, it becomes the primary mode of movement, and the depth and nuance of dodging in previous games was lost.

>>15634315
>>15636097
Only a samefag would get this defensive

>>15636160
It wasn't too spammy in 4, though. That one and the V-VD Hi Boost got it right.

As I've said in many AC6 threads, I hope that they'd include some new stuff, like... I dunno, transformable legs.

We can already swap out weapons on the fly, so why not make legs that build upon that design philosophy? Like... legs that could switch between a basic Bipedal form and change into something like a Tank form, or Quad-leg form.

Yeah, it sounds gimmicky, but emphasize that in-game by giving them low AC and/or stability. This is a new technology that still needs the bugs worked out, and as you progress, you can unlock progressively better transformable legs.

Bring back Tuning for ALL parts like in the PS2 era AC games, instead of just limiting Tuning to weaponry. Allow UNACs to operate off of a "Ghost" of your combat data, or that of, say... your friends? Just make UNAC modification more streamlined in general.

Also, give it that late PS2 era AC aesthetics; those were probably some of the better designs that Kawamori did, in my opinion.

>>15636333
>UNACs
Just scrap the whole idea
It was one of the worse things to bring to this series. The AI in these games is NEVER good, so why make a system based around them?

>>15636333
>Yeah, it sounds gimmicky,
It's not just that it's gimmicky, but it takes away the whole idea of choosing a specific style. The legs are, to be honest, the most critical part when choosing how an AC is to behave, the entire rest of the AC is designed around how they move and how much weight they can handle, being able to switch on the fly to get the benefits of both worlds would be a little OP

>>15635905
well if it isn't then so be it, its copypasta from another forum.

so if I'm wrong I'm wrong, I really don't care about this franchise and its deadbeat studio that doesn't understand its audience anymore.

>>15634370
My god I would pay for the deluxe special edition that has the main mecha as a 4 foot statue.

What do you mean it probably won't have that? Fuck you I will make that a thing.

>>15638364
>I don't care!
>They just don't understand!
Dude, try being a little less 14.

>>15636616
What the hell are you babbling about, UNACS were great, you could spend as much time tweaking their AI as actually building ACs, and if you did it properly they could hold out pretty damn well in a fight. Developing my UNAC through many tests exercises from a block of spare armour with a gun to a unit that could give me a run for my money was one of the most rewarding things about VD.

>>15636761
>being able to switch on the fly to get the benefits of both worlds would be a little OP

Perfect for a boss if you ask me. Get the part for beating the game, unusable in multiplayer because everyone would use them.
