Do you guys color your weapons to match your AC or make them different?

Yo. Let's bump it up.

I usually go with boring gray weapons, but I usually color the laser blades/shields in more exotic colors.

>>179068420

>>179086114
The guys behind Evangelion, to make bio-synthetic AC armor.

I always imagined that Kisaragi's bio weapon experiments would yield something like organic-machine armor.

Day of the rope when?

>>179134083
It's not because they dislike AC, it's because they wanted to share their video games with you but you're not letting them.

People flock to brand new AAA titles because all their friends are doing it, and they like feeling validated in their choice by being able to talk to all their friends about it.

Playing AC instead of BOTW is like being that one guy who surfs the web on his phone when his friends invite him to a party. You've got better things to do, you're not interested in the party, but they really wanted you to get involved.

>>179143649
Maybe they should play AC instead of zelda

>>179149071
Maybe they should, but they won't because they care more about the social aspect of gaming than the creative or mechanical aspect.

>>179149308
the eternal struggle withing doing something because you like the activity itself, or because it gives a change of social interaction, is always a sad tale.

>>179143649

I've run into a similar situation. When I'm with friends when they're in town, I'll be happy to play their games because it's what's "in" with the young people, so I don't want to be a party pooper. Unfortunately, not alot of care care for AC, so even if I show it to them, they show a passing interest at best. I think that's such a pity. But there's not much you can do. Just leave them to their enjoyment, while I sit back and satiate my autism by creating a pixel perfect emblem which I can never get right because it has to be perfectly symmetrical.

>>179167892
>>179149723
>>179149071
It's surprising to me how many friends I have that, as soon as I talk about AC, their first question is:

>"Did a new game just came out? Is it on PC?"

And when I explain that the best games were on the PS2 they aren't interested at all. There are VERY few games I think that can hold interest past their original console generation. Mario, Smash, Mega Man, maybe Metal Gear Solid, Morrowind, etc. AC is definitely not one of them.

I thought to myself "Would they play shadow of the collosus?" Probably not. So it's not about how good or critically acclaimed a game is, it's still more about the convenience and social factor.

I think the best angle to getting people into AC is the uniqueness. There's few games like it, therefore it's worth going back to the past to enjoy. Most success I've had was:
>It's like dark souls, but an action shooter, and from the same people
>there's even more customization
>there's nothing quite like it

People play games like Titanfall and get lukewarm on Armored Core because Titanfall seems like an "alright" game and they judge all other mech games by it, so a PS2-era titanfall sounds like a waste of time. But people who are still playing Mech Warrior Online, if you can get past the "western mechs only" mentality can really enjoy AC.

>>179170027

>people who can get past the western mechs only mentality

Hah, after the military shooter craze, suddenly everyone wants to talk realism and how "robots aren't practical" because video games can't have a fantasy element to them. Heaven forbid something whimsical happen.

Mech dev here, back again with some questions for you all.

Here's an example of the basic mech. I feel as if the proportions are off. Thoughts?

It'd probably be helpful if I posted a picture.

>>179177118
Yes, there is a lack of hands. I'm still working on them.

Here is a diagram of how parts work. Currently, arms are considered one unit but I'm considering allowing the user to choose both left and right arms for slightly asymmetric designs. I don't really want to do that for legs, however, due to how my animation system is setup.

>>179177412

>>179177118
I think it needs another segment for the arms as like pseudo shoulders or something so that when the arms rest they'll be right next to the legs without touching them.

Besides that the design looks great.

>>179177118
Torso is way too tall. Human torsos look longer than they really are but for mechs narrow/short chests and nonexistent torsos are more common because they give a sense of size and scale (it makes the legs look much longer).

>>179177581
This makes me think of a cool idea for dealing with mech damage (I think I might have mentioned this before) where you essentially have a different hurtbox for each body part, and instead of doing damage, you do "status effects". Like each body part has a heat bar, and when enough heat damage is taken to that location, certain functions cease.

So say you have an armor stat, which has high heat resistance. If you use armor-piercing bullets, it wears down the armor stat until is "breaks" and now the underlying armor is exposed, which allows you to use high heat rounds now. Other effects would be like crushed or severed joints, electricity attacks causing arms to fail

So instead of killing someone by depleting their HP to zero, you find weaknesses in their armor and wear it down until they're just a broken mess that can't attack or move, or their cockpit is exposed.

>>179178914
Yeah, that's more in line with my thinking. I thought I could remedy it by scaling up the legs and maybe shrinking down a bit of the torso.

Does pic related look a bit better?

>>179179149
Yeah, I plan on doing modular hitboxes, but visual decay is a bit too impractical for me to pull off as I'm only one person. I was probably just going to resort to a flat "armor" value that is just decreased as the part takes damage.

>>179179648
Looks better.

>>179179648
>visual decay is a bit too impractical for me to pull off

You wouldn't need visual decay, just disable certain controls or change animations, and put a warning light on the screen like "ARMOR DOWN" flashing over some part that changes its stats.

Something like:

Armor (0 to 1000)
Shielding (0 to 1000)
Energy (0 to 1000, slowly recharges)
Cooling (0 to 1000, slowly recharges)

So each weapon would do a certain amount of damage to armor, and certain amount to shielding, a certain amount to energy, and a certain amount to cooling.

If armor reaches 0, that part is completely disabled (can't attack using that arm, etc.), and at, say, 50% armor value,for legs, your mobility is reduced, 50% armor for arms you can't swing melee weapons (but you can fire guns), etc.
If shielding reaches 0, armor damage is allowed (if shielding exists, armor damage is blocked)
If energy reaches 0, that part is temporarily disabled until it restores to full, maybe also have other effects like making the screen fuzzy for energy depleted head parts.
If cooling reaches 0, armor continually is damaged until it restores to full

And each weapon would be like:
Rifle Damage
>Armor: 10
>Shield: 5
>Energy: 0
Cooling: 10

Armor Piercing Damage
>Armor 5
>Shield 20
>Energy 0
>Cooling 0

Chemical Weapon damage
>Armor 5
>Shield 5
>Energy 20
>Cooling 50

ECM weapon damage
>Armor 5
>Shield 5
>Energy 50
>Cooling 20

Melee weapon damage
>Armor 20
>Shield 100 ( a successful strike can break through shielding in one hit)
>Energy 10
>Cooling 10

And each body part will have different armor/shield, etc. values, so some mechs will have really strong shields and armor, but low energy defense , some will have high armor but small shields, and some will have high shielding but low armor.

So the game's strategy would involve swapping certain weapons to break the enemy's strategy.

>>179181247
Yeah I've been flirting with ideas similar to what you described. The reality of the situation though is that it takes a lot of time and effort to get these systems in place. My first goal is to get a rough gameplay loop going, but I wanted to get some animations up first. To get animations going, I needed a standard rig, so I've been putting time into making my first standard mech. All other mechs will use retargeting to try and match that rig's animations.

Seeing the Devposting has got me thinking, what if there was a core that was designed to ram into people, pre-equipped with the fastest boosters but you can't change course when it's active

>>179177118

Like everyone else said, I'd give your mech some thunder thighs and a smaller torso.

Ring World? When was that name established? I know there's a mission in AA where he(?) attacks you, but I don't remember a name being given. I thought it was called "Chess Knight" or something.

>>179310191
how? Piles?

>>179310652
Nah, you'd probably get staggered on the approach and I don't know if they do enough.
So from what I remember, there were five targets. Two hands, two missile pods, and the chest cannon. You know the large turrets that are like multi grenade launchers? The hands are basically those with a faster reload and more damage. The missile pods vomit missiles all over the place, it's disgusting. I can't remember how the chest cannon attacks, but it's a beam and it'll probably one-shot you. Also, the thing is really tall, so getting to the missile pods is a real pain.
Or you can just take a Legion Pulse, activate it, charge it up, get right up under it, and fire. If I remember right, the Legion Pulse's attack extends all the way to the ceiling border. Or maybe you had to jump up a little ways to do it, I can't remember very well any more.

In any case, the Legion Pulse eats it alive.

>>179305967
Luckily, I did. It was pretty fun. I hope they keep that concept of multiplayer mega bosses in future AC games

>>179311058

I didn't know that. Funfact, you actually could grind blade it to death, but you had to be really precise and hits primary control center. I think I did it once, but the game dropped below 10 FPS, so I wasn't sure if I killed it or if I crashed the game.

Yes. They also transfer save files.

You do lose some parts that are AC3/SL specific, mostly the recolors of various weapons (like the "heat" version of certain weapons) and the howitzer class, but all the exclusive parts were added in every game I think.

If anything, LR:P might have a few parts that weren't in AC3/SL, given that it was released last.

From doesn't get a panel since they're a third party developer (they aren't a publisher). They will piggyback on either Sony, Bandai, Ubisoft, EA, etc.'s panels. From hasn't been announced to show anything but usually things like this aren't scheduled ahead of time, and From has showed something at almost every E3 event since 2005ish, even if it's just a

Maybe a new Borderlands game?

Past that, I'm just keeping an eye out for anything fresh and new, and not just another regurgitation, sequel, or remake.

With press conferences right around the corner, I'm starting to get pretty antsy. I know E3 isn't really prime AC announcement time, but they've done it before, and it's been so damn long

>>179410963
You have to basically build entirely around it. Karasawa in Nexus is honestly the weakest its ever been. It's not bad as a left arm weapon though.

Use it on a horizontal lock on with a left arm machine gun so you can get the widest lock on range you can.

Next, make sure you're using really low drain and low heat boosters so you can keep up with energy drain.

Sawa is best when you have a bead on the enemy and can just constantly keep on them. It's DPS is really high, it's just heavy with low ammo. Maybe do it on a heavyweight so you have enough backup ammo to complete missions and stuff.

4 shouldn't have any problems running. I've got it working just fine on my laptop and PC.
But there are a few specific missions that crash the game, even with the hotfix installed, which means you can only complete one of the game's routes and one of those missions is past a point of no return, so you just dead end at that point.

I'm going to be honest with you guys, one of things I really wish for the next AC, is that it manages to become popular so we can get some good fan remixes of the OST

>>179480790
why need fan remixes if we have "Thinker"?

>>179480790

Eww, no offense anon, but I don't want normies ruining Armored Core. You know the very first things they'll ask for:

>this game needs to be easier
>why am i dying so much?
>why isn't there an easy mode?
>I have to aim my weapons? Ugh, can't the game do that for me?

You thought Dark Souls was memed up to be a hard game? Brother, people will be vomiting blood over how difficult AC is in comparison.

>>179482225
the game inst that hard once you learn how to build a AC.

>>179482225
>I have to aim my weapons? Ugh, can't the game do that for me?

Don't AC games already have lock on? Unless you're referring to rockets and such.

>>179482454
I think is more about using a lockbox.

>>179482454
AC technically has "fuzzy" lock on, meaning that the game will snap toward enemies when enemies are near your aim. It's just a really large box.

>>179482225
I don't think normies will complaint about the difficulty. It will be so plastered with FROM THE MAKERS OF DARK SOULS (TM) PREPARE TO DIE HARDEST GAME EVER that people might actually complain about AC being too easy.

Their complaints are going to be:
>Why does it take so long to turn?
>Why do I still get hit even though I dodged?
>Why are there so many numbers? I just want to play and go

"This game isn't very hard it's just really bad" is what people would say.

>>179482868
Man, this is a pretty pessimistic look on how it'll appear for all I know, was it like this with other AC releases after the Souls games were released?

>For everyone asking, just use a machine gun (since it has the biggest lock on square) and use the biggest FSC (or whatever its called, the lock thing) and you'll be able to shoot at stuff easily without having to deal with the clunky aiming system.

This triggers me. Make more

>>179484910
>for all I know, was it like this with other AC releases after the Souls games were released?

Yeah. A bunch of souls fans jumped onto ACV and sorta kinda maybe liked it but found the movement really slow and awkward (one reason why ACVD was sped up). But most importantly, they went back to the previous games and there was a pervasive attitude that the controls in every pre-ACV game was fucking awful because pre-souls From Soft was bad.

Now that Dark Souls 2 and 3 have come out and largely disappointed those original fans (who found out that DS1 was kind of a fluke creatively and From doesn't actually learn from their mistakes) I think it's not quite as bad.

The souls fans in ACV were pretty awful though.

>>179485410
It didn't really help that Minmaxed meta builds were really bad in the beginning. Even with DS1s Giantdad there was still more variety in DS builds than ACV

>>179485276
>[Discussion Title] I'm done.
>That's it guys, I'm done.This game is impossibly hard. I made a robot with {insert relatively high AP number} health and I still get killed over and over. WTF From? Instantly killed in 1 second? I know you guys made Dark Souls hard, but at least it was fair... This is just plain cheap. Since I ONLY HAVE 1 SECOND to kill the guy, I put on the strongest guns I have, I wait until I lock on, and then shoot. AND THEY MISS?????? What's the point of a lock on if the gun is just going to randomly miss every shot? This is really disappointing From, after your amazing Souls series, you lower yourselves to this irredeemable mess... I regret wasting 60 dollars on this trainwreck and going back to Dark Souls 3, as I know many others will.

see: >>179411663

From could show up on any panel but the main one to watch is Sony (6PM Pacific), and PC gaming (10 AM Pacific).

Bandai already had a bit of coverage during the Xbox event (for Code Vein) so if they were going to show a multiplatform AC game they probably would have done it then, or at least showed a trailer. That can pretty much all but confirm no xbox release, so PS4 exclusive or maybe PS4 with a PC port for their next game, or nothing at all.

>>179491897
>That can pretty much all but confirm no xbox release
That's like saying the games showed at the Microsoft panel won't be on the Playstation, but that's a lie. Even a portion of exclusives are most likely timed exclusives.

>>179493204
In order for them to have an xbox game, they need bandai namco as a publisher. The only other active publisher (sony) is PS4 exclusive only.

If bandai isn't giving From any facetime, then they likely have ended all of their business and have no new games planned together. Aka, no Xbox releases.

So what's more likely?

>Ubisoft or Sega picks From back up for a multiplat game after 10 years
>Bandai is working with from, but for some reason lets them announce their games separately at a different event without bandai?
>From works with their existing publisher (Sony) and makes PS4 exclusives

I'm putting all of my money on PS4 exclusives only from here on.

>>179497140

I'd be fine with either no announcement or at least some reassurance during another game that it's coming out.

The important thing here is:
>"Has a publisher picked up armored core?"

If AC hasn't been picked up by a publisher yet then it's likely to end up canceled or delayed. I don't need a trailer, I just need reassurance that it's actually been approved and going to come out, not just that they're working on it

>>179524343

Delayed even after it supposedly just started conceptualization less than a year ago? And I doubt they cancell it since they self-publish in Japan.

>>179548670
"early production" might just mean concept art, not actual progress on the game.

It's equally likely they just said they were working on armored core to stop people from asking about it or to get news than it is that they're seriously releasing the game.

T MINUS 30 MINUTES

Decided to get back into AC again. Previously I played 4 and For Answer, and absolutely adored them. Moved onto 5, found it pretty eh, but really enjoyed my time with Verdict Day(fantastic soundtrack). Played a bunch of Another Age, and picked up Last Raven today. I know I'm going about the series in a weird way, but I'm in a remote area so the shipping of games that I can't find at my local store is about a two month wait.

That said, should I order Nexus or Ninebreaker next? Eventually want to do a full sequential playthrough of them all the Nexus expansions. My local store has Silent Line, which I've heard some say is phenomenal, so I'm gonna grab that next paycheck.

Nexus. Nine breaker is one of the few truly skippable games.

See you guys at Tokyo Game Show.

I hope you're not serious.

We got nothing, but Fromsoft didn't show up. There's always TGS, I guess?

TGS LADS, THE DREAM'S NOT DEAD YET

No reveal is better than if they had shown a bunch of non AC games.

I want to play Moss though, seriously.

Man what a let down, I was expecting something about KH3 and more rpgs, is there any hope for AC on another conference?

I bet they're gonna announce AC 6 on AC's 20th anniversary, get hyped for July 10th.

Seems interest honestly, but it needs VR, I need to get a job

I was holding my breath for at least something from From

>No KH3
>No Death Stranding
>No Souls Remasters
>No BB2
>No new hardware
>No new PS services

Shadow of the Collosus, Moss, and Monster Hunter World are the only ones that looked remotely interesting.

>>179572053
Yeah, it could have been better

Shadow of the Colossus got my hope up for a moment, thinking that it was going to be a direct sequel, but then I realize that it wasnt, the game is good and all, I love it, but just a remaster is no that big deal, unless they add a couple of colossus more.

Moss seems interest and so far I think is one of the best projects for VR, but since VR is mostly new territory I wont get my hopes high

No a fan of munter hunter so I dont really care.

and my normie moment was with Destiny, but seeing how the first one went, I will wait for the game to release the complete version with all DLCs, probably 3 years after original release.
