/acg/ - Armored Core General: The Revival Thread Died In Less

People we beat keep sending me friend requests and I don't know what to do with them.
Anyway, if anyone wants to do anything, just sign in and start talking. I'm going to be rifling through boxes and boxes of cards.

Sad times when the thread dies with about 5 not bumping posts.

Sony probably should. It might generate some hype for the game. Opposed to the not much it gets normally.

Or just put a big "From the makers of Dark Souls" tagline as painful as it is to suggest. That'd get a far larger Western audience.

>>147743434
I was trying to keep an eye on it as well, but I had to sleep at some point.

Whats that attachment on the side of the gun supposed to be? Looks like a bayonet, but it's way too short for that. And BFF would never bother with melee equipment.

Do you think weapon attachments might be cool to have in AC6? We already have weapon tuning which is basically the same thing. Instead of marking 3 points into accuracy though, you would buy an actual piece of equipment to add onto your gun instead like a scope or laser sight. Just think of all the cool stuff you could have.

>Energy blade range extenders
>gatling gun firing rate increaser
>heat sinks for energy weapons
>bayonet attachments
>underslung weapons (shotguns, grenade launchers)
>tripods so you can deploy regular weapons in the ready position
>firing rate modifications (single fire, burst fire, full auto)
>shoulder/arm conversion kit (use handheld weapons on shoulder slot, shoulder weapons in hand slot)

>>147744101
Surprised there's not something like different ammo types for weapons already. Could just be like actual guns for the most part, soft point, armor piercing etc.

>>147744101
Since you have already the other bunch of stuff to care about in AC, I think this could work for a FPS made by from, maybe as a spin off of AC.

Remember how on ACV story, a group of rebels enter Father's tower and capturing him before the Carol and Chief ruin everthing? this could be a game were you play as a soldier doing the more "delicated" work that a AC can't do, some missions have you even advance on a city alonside ACs and MTs, but your mission is to enter a place steal something, kill secure someone, hack something, and doing this with a set of customized weapons and equipment, some equipments are made to work better open spaces under constant fire, other to move fast and kill fast inside of building and similar, how you equip yourself for each mission depends on the player.

>>147746801
I don't really see the appeal. The only cool thing about AC settings are the giant robots. Take that away and it's just another generic scifi shooter. If anything, they could combine on foot elements with the mech action I guess, though that doesn't usually turn out very well.

>>147747497
>they could combine on foot elements with the mech action I guess, though that doesn't usually turn out very well.

Combining this is close to make a game with both on foot segments and vehicle segments, the best example I have on how to handle both is halo.

>>147746801
This sounds a bit too much like front mission evolved.

And as From Soft have about no experience with the FPS genre it'd almost certainly send the same way. Poorly.

>>147747826
>the best example I have on how to handle both is halo.
Not even a mech game though. I'd say Titanfall, Lost Planet, and Mechassault 2 are better inspirations.

Either way it would probably be a horrible AC game. Just look at what happened to Front Mission Evolved with its shitty infantry missions.

No but they weren't the worst thing ever, a bit annoying maybe. I paid a fraction of the price of what it originally cost and it was alright, might have been a bit different if I bought it for retail.

So, the Assault Suit Leynos remaster comes out in the West soon. Anyone tried the original or any of the the other Assault Suit games? They're pretty good.

>>147753404
The original is one of my favorite games of all time. I've never been able to beat it without cheats though.

>>147753530
I'll admit I've never touched the original and I know there's one on PS2 but like Last Raven it appears to have been horribly under printed for the UK market, same publisher too not that surprisingly.

Remaster seems pretty good from what I played down at comic con though.

>>147754067
You could just emulate it. It's a Sega Genesis game, any toaster can handle it. Though the remaster's classic mode seems to be a 1:1 copy of the original, just with modern graphics, so you probably won't miss out on anything by playing that instead.

Rate my AC too I guess, obviously it's not painted though. inb4 overweight, I took liberties with the armaments for the model kit though this is the frame I used in LR.

>tfw when you want FreQuency to do an anime opening
>>147797453
Well they have these banners to compensate.

Well /acg/, I'm new to Armored Core and I see Veredict Day is on sale at 5€ on the PSN.
Should I get it or should I emulate AC3 first?

>>147815306
Grab VD anyway if you want some multiplayer stuff, the games a bit dead but there's enough of us now to at the very least do some free battle stuff.

The early AC games are very different from 4 and 5 though so just bear that in mind.

>Leos Klein's VA
fuck my sides

>>147816602
In what ways? I just want good customization options.

>>147817781
Gameplay, 4 drops certain elements of the game, adds its own and ramps the speed up.

5 is also completely different from 4 and 3, it adds yet more stuff and changes up the rules again.

1-3 is more just a progressive increase in the amount of features and gameplay elements.

All games have pretty good customisation, so no worry there.

>>147816780
Not a series known for great voice acting, over played and generally shitty is the MO for the ps2 and ps1 games. Doesn't really get much better later either.

>>147818103
So I think I'll emulate 3 first, grab VD and then I'll jump into 4 and 5.

Thanks /acg/

>>147818679
Worth bearing in mind that 4 and 5 have no online anymore. You can't even get the patches for 4. 5 was quite multiplayer centric so it's maybe not as strong as the other games without any MP.

>>147819728
Well, then I will stop on 4 and stay with VD as it's still alive.

>>147821667
For Answer has multiplayer as well but it has its issues online.

>>147818360
I lost it at "Rav....en" and "DIE REBEL".

Well the PS3 era games improved somewhat, Liked FA most times and Chief.

>>147819728
You can still free battle on V.

>>147807071

>>147822701
To be honest Metal Wolf Chaos has the best voice actors for about any From Soft game. The line delivery and sheer amount of cheesiness in everything really adds to that game whereas in all the others where they're quite straight faced it's a bit off.

Bamp.

No no no.

>>147816780
LESHT FIWEHGT WAVEN. WEH'LL SETTLE THISH IN BAWTTAL

>>147818679

Here's your order:
3 , Silent Line, Verdict Day, For Answer, 4

Silent line is a direct sequel to 3, so if you're playing 3 it's definitely worth it.

Verdict day is very different, but closer to Silent Line/3 in gameplay, and very good on its own.

Skip V unless you REALLY want more of Verdict Day but are okay with a vastly inferior game. 4 is still worth getting on its own.

>>147836536

M8. You should go see a fucking doctor about that. Back problems in the lower spine region are not fun at all and it could be anything from having slept in a weird position to a slipped disc.
Especially if it feels like strekozas.That's fucked up.

It is quite ironic how the thing they thought would offend everyone is actually the appealing thing about it.

Basically arena combat for its short run.

It's like 5 chapters. Focuses on some female arena pilot who's dad was a professional Raven who made his own unaffliciated merc group.
One battle is trying to prove her self to some other Raven who worked with his dad, another with no.1 Raven and one with a H+ and her brother who are pretty much stuck with being experimental pilots for one of the two big countries/corps in the setting.

It's all right. Honestly too many open and unresolved shit. Gives setting stuff and at least sets up a world reminiscent of s AC world.

Mine is Vanishing.

>live action movie
with the record of animes getting a live action I dont recommend this.

A anime would be a nice, a serie of shorts could work for a military slice of life, showing the life of a raven in AC universe, could be focused on one pilot or each chapter a different one, going with their lives without involving themselve in any big war or obscure plans of the factions, just a merc earning his/her life.

To be honest I'd almost quite like a CG movie, they wouldn't even need to show pilots. Do it in the same vein as the cutscenes, trailers and intros and it could work.

But stuff like Patlabor is critically acclaimed and that didn't exactly pander to weeaboos. It's probably the anime that is most comparable to AC anyway.

To be honest I'm fine with just ACs standing there looking dramatic while Ravens talk over the top or whatever.

Suppose you're right but even still it wasn't quite a normal mech anime for the time. Definitely the most real robot and with the least trope following bullshit anyway.

>>147982816
Just a question how can we know the NEXT that appears at the end is Strayed? he doesnt have a canon emblem like Anatolia's mercenary did on 4, or a NEXT we can identify like White Glint mkII, since he hasnt appear again in any game or side material (like discovering a rusted NEXT on something related to VD times and something confirms us "this is strayed NEXT")

>>147982816
Is the "Strayed killing everthing" your vision of following destruction path or just him doing merc work?

>>147983250
Just say that the different NEXTS that killed the others just happened to be the same pilot.

Just like the player, he or she would use different NEXTS depending on the mission.

>>147983464
It's fitting either way.

>>147983552
Better just use Kasumi, like in open radio we always hear her saying something to the enemie (episode protagonist) on behalf of strayed or the client, make clear she is the operator and the pilot is the one she has being working since the "ORCA uprising"

>>147983950
Bingo.

>>147982978
Why White Glint? as far we know Strayed could have choose to fight with him.

>>147982972

It's sad. Robot anime used to be so cool.

>>147983180
And AC have the potencial to be this just that with more action, does AC havent get a anime because FROM doesnt want to or nobody is interested?

>>147985001
Anime in general was cool, I know the entertaimment industry tends to follow the leader a lot and have somekind of genre or formula to dominate for a period, but anime has been hit by this REALLY hard right now.

>>147985370
That much is clear, looking at anime from the 80's and 90's.

>>147985142
There was one planned using CG as far as I know but it was cancelled when the studio producing it closed down.

>>147985701

>>147986323
Not sure, maybe it's the fact that mecha just generally is declining in popularity. There's not exactly much of it being produced and then you get random garbage coming out and generally tarnishing the genre more.

I quite like the idea of a live action AC, there's no chance they'd have the budget or be willing to do it.

Anyone got some obscure mech games which are good, obviously not AC? I imagine there's some on PS2 which I haven't heard of or played.

>>147993243
I just used a fast AC with dual rifles, the only dangerous enemy there is Berloiz anyway.

Well, Hawken is actually pretty fun provided that you're okay with zero mech customization and a large grind.

>>148000621
That's my usual strategy too but I can't go fast enough in AC4 for it to work. I don't get what I'm doing wrong.

>>148000823
Maybe put a grenade launcher on. When I say fast I mean a lightweight AC, only your side boosters really need to have high output.

>>148000723

The game is dead though. It sucks.

>>148000000

Grenade launcher? Are you sure? Those are awfully inaccurate.

>>148008916

Not properly, just buy them. It's not like they cost much.

>>148030853

is Nexus recommended or skippable? i have all the PS2 armored cores except for the ones after Silent Line and from what i hear Last Raven is the pinnacle of the 1 - 3 series games, that's what i wanted to emulate

>>148031074
I really like Nexus, the two discs offer an awful lot of content. Nexus is one of the better games in my opinion, but you're completely fine skipping Ninebreaker.

If you really just want to emulate LR you could always just go for the portable version, it's far more stable for emulation and has a few extra parts and what not.

Its SNFA tonight, prepare yourselves.

Maybe? Probably not. I usually just dual wield when I use blades. The tracking is so ridiculous in FA that the blades probably make shotguns pointless.

>>148009820
It's just f2p. The only objective problems it has that I've noticed so far (on console), is that it lags quite a bit at the beginning of matches, and that the Nief is quit an overpowered mech. The reasons these haven't kept me away though is because the matches tends to smooth out rather quickly, and the Nief is easily countered by several other mechs. The microtransactions are also cancerous, but that's what you get with f2p.

I'm having a problem here, wanted to try Verdict Day online but every time I start up the game it complains about wanting a comparability pack or some shit. Well I've downloaded the one found on PSN and if I press like X on the menu, it takes me to an empty PS store page with fuckall.

What am I doing wrong here?

>>148151990
>Evangelion

>>148170748
TV producers want tried and true formulas that will work for 4+ seasons. Especially since a lot of anime is still for children or shown specifically for/on anime networks.

There's just no point in taking risks on new ideas unless you can root them in 'relatable' content that is proven to get views.

>>148171490
Why 2 over 3? Genuinely curious.

>>148172227
3's story is shit and boring, and the gameplay improvements doesn't make up for the lack of memorable moments. I can think of 4-5 memorable missions from AC2 but barely a single one from 3.

I always thought the general opinion was that 2 was a superior game to experience, but 3 was just newer and with more content / less buggy.

One thing I do like 3 for is the vast amount of content. It probably has more single player content than any other AC game.

Silent line is a close second to 2, for me.

>>148173123
Fair enough, my favourite is actually Nexus. I really like the amount of content in that and the changes from 3 never bothered me. LR a close 2nd

How do you guys deal with the awful latency for FA?

I know that only some weapons are going to be viable because of the lag, but when I do damage seems to be completely arbitrary. I can't "plan" a hit, it just happens or doesn't based on some mysterious netcode. How do you know you're actually going to hit the opponent vs just getting lucky?

>>148176219
You learn to tolerate the latency, but it can get frustrating when you use a big hitting weapon like hi laser or grenades, you clearly see they connect but no damage is registered.

>>148176536
I can't even hit with slug guns, machine guns, or rifles. The only time I seem to hit someone is when they're ignoring me and I sneak up on them from the side, and even then it's a crapshoot.

Most of my damage seems to come from shot spamming, too. I only hit when I don't try to hit, and I always miss when I think I've hit them.

Am I doing something seriously wrong that I can't even get reliable damage out of rifles? How does the netcode work so that I can actually know what's going to hit and what doesn't?

File: 1445972533841.gif (58KB, 287x344px) Image search: [Google]

58KB, 287x344px

>>148177270
We are the same anon, machine guns usually hit, but the latency can make a lot of the bullets to no register the damage, slug guns is rare that they do 0 damage since is various pellets hitting at once, so SOMETHING has to make damage, after that is just practice on how to keep a target.

If you want and if you are free, we can have some matches right now.

>>148177270
I'm comin in from Dark Souls PvP, so here's an example of what I mean:

At least in dark souls even if the latency is bad, you have an idea of what is going to hit and what isn't. There's "phantom range" so you know if someone threw out an attack, there's a good chance it will miss if you roll immediately, even if the attack doesn't 'connect' on your screen.

Likewise, if you throw out an attack while the opponent is ABLE to roll, you know that they're doing the same thing, so it will likely miss.

But ACFA doesn't seem to have any of that, it's pure chaos. Everyone is dodging and shooting non-stop and there's no real cost to dodge, so it seems to me that 90% of matches come down to bullet spam.

My biggest issues are with permaflight backpeddlers, who I can empty all of my ammo into and hit absolutely nothing, but they're somehow able to use GRENADES to knock me out of the air.

I don't mind the latency, I mind that every other player seems able to hit with grenades while I'm still struggling to hit with rifles.

>>148178834

>At least in dark souls even if the latency is bad, you have an idea of what is going to hit and what isn't. There's "phantom range" so you know if someone threw out an attack, there's a good chance it will miss if you roll immediately, even if the attack doesn't 'connect' on your screen.

>Likewise, if you throw out an attack while the opponent is ABLE to roll, you know that they're doing the same thing, so it will likely miss.

To further clarify: that means in Dark Souls, even if latency sucks, you know at least how to hit: Get the opponent in a situation where they can't dodge, or don't foresee the attack coming (such as attacking before their approach, or trading blows, or depleting their stamina).

But you can't do that in ACFA, you can't corner someone or deplete them of EN because everyone is permaflight and there's no real map.

So what's the secret? Do you just play super evasively and wait out the entire match until your opponent to rush at you like an idiot, or end up sitting still for a few seconds? That seems like the only strategy that makes sense to me, given what I've seen so far. It would also explain all the grenade kites I keep seeing

>>148177270
>Most of my damage seems to come from shot spamming, too.
And that's the secret to FA's meta. The biggest reason rifles are the weapons of choice is because they fire quickly, the deal noticeable damage, and they mostly have large ammo reserves. Most shots fired either miss or don't register, but that's okay, because you have hundreds more bullets at your disposal and that's enough to eventually kill someone.
And that's the answer to your question. You deal with it by continuing to shoot until it works.
Alternatively, you kill people with rockets.

Naw, store page is empty still when the game takes me to it. I do see one comp pack in the store if I navigate the god awful PSN, but that doesn't really seem like it's doing anything.

I just don't get it anymore. I downloaded the "compatability pack 1" from the PS Store and the game still whines about needing said pack.
I deleted all game related content and reinstalled/downloaded everything and still am getting the same shit.

Is there some sort of region lock or something for certain PSN regions not being allowed online or having some new patch?

>>148223619
Shouldn't be, have you got any other psn accounts you could try downloading the file from?

Never heard of anyone having this sort of issue before.

>>148225272

Was that definitely a PAL version you got from the UK

On closer inspection, this shit might be the American version though, which means I am a bigger fucking retard than I though I am. Fuck me.

That'd do it, thought that might have been the case.
Big giveaway is the games are rating, nowadays the UK just uses PEGI like the rest of Europe.

You could always try and get a refund from Sony and just download the compatibility pack from a US account. They might give you a refund if you explain it.

So I did some more testing and figured a few things out:

There are four enemy positions to consider when aiming in FA:

A1. The enemy you see on your screen
A2. Where your FCS expects your enemy to be (leading)
B1. Where the enemy actually is on their screen
B2. Where the enemy will be when the shot lands

It's something like this, if they are moving toward the left:


<B2<<<A2<<<<<<B1<<<A1<

A is what you see on your screen, B is what the opponent sees on their screen. The distance between A1 and A2 (and B2 and B2) depends on how fast the opponent is and how slow your muzzle velocity is.

B2. B2 IS WHAT YOU WANT TO TRY TO HIT, even though it's invisible to you. So you want to hit B2, knowing your FCS is aiming at A2.

Why so many shots miss:

If the opponent changes direction between B1 and A2, your shot will miss (since they never arrived at B2, and your shot never hit B2)

If the opponent maintains direction from B1 to B2, your shot will miss (and hit A2, which is where your FCS is aiming).
