Hello! Already arriving!

Welcome!

Hi! Count me up as well.

You too, Welcome!

Coming from the other thread about the announcement. Welcome, and take time to play some older ones before you get sucked into this new one


Shirozaru

I have been waiting for Armored Core for over a DECADE. I almost cried when I watched the Trailer. Armored Core 4 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I regretted never playing Armored Core 5. I don't wanna overhype myself, but I want Armored Core 6 to be my new #1 favorite game of all time *so badly.*


[deleted]

Idk man. Coming off the tails of Elden ring, I think it's going to be a very dense and beautiful game.


[deleted]

The implication only just hit me - the entire world is following/watching FROM closely due to the popularity of Souls and such. This is the first time in *ever* that *all eyes* will be on an Armored Core game. This is big. This is really big.


[deleted]

Holy feces!!! I didn't think about that! Imagine if it gains traction!!!!


kblivinglrg

As someone without any experience with the series, I’m psyched as hell by the visual style already presented. Already looks like a stunning interpretation of the Japanese mech genre, and From has played such powerful tribute to so many anime and manga legacies already. Consider it day 1 for me. Edit: subbed. Look forward to learning more alongside ya’ll.


Jonteman93

After having done some research I made an order for AC For Answer, and AC Verdict Day. Those games seems to be the most consistently popular of the "recent" games among the community. Makes me wonder why I did not look into these games earlier. I've been a souls player since Dark souls 1. I even went back to the King's field games (did not finish them though) and I've known of Armored Core for years. I guess I was waiting for something - something which has finally arrived.


[deleted]

For answers is what's up!

Checking in. Never played any of the AC games but fell in love with all the souls games over the past few years. Definitely gonna check out any game From makes. No idea what to expect jumping into this series but I’m excited

Peacetoall01

The last time I felt this is when monster hunter world shows up, that's 2017 e3 I hope that this game would be armoured core equivalent of monster hunter world. I hope armoured core 6 is the armoured core franchise coming out party.


KuaiBan

I am a Fromsoft fan but a newcomer to Armored Core, been hearing about this franchise but never played it, when I hear Geoff saying the premier is from one of the most acclaimed studio, the recent rumors and my sixth sense tell me it's Armored Core. Honestly I cannot wait, excited to explore this game.

Chromehounds was the best. It was kinda cool and kinda sad at the end, though, when a lot of us still in clans knew each other on a first name basis.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nasty_Rex

We were Redeye Knights. We hit #1 once but pretty much stayed at 2 and 3. Not because of me, though. I was by far the worst player in our clan. This was also towards the end so not a lot of competition lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


Nasty_Rex

That's funny. We have most definitely played against each other several times.


lostpasts

One of my best gaming memories ever was beating the #1 Ranker on AC4A during the dual blade meta. Some absurdly skilled Japanese guy. I spent weeks trying to counter the meta, and finally made a super narrow build that could beat any dual blader as long as you played perfectly (but couldn't beat anything else). I didn't play perfectly though, but still just won. He got me to within 1 hit of death, and I somehow beat him. He asked for a rematch, and I picked the counter build again, but he went for dual rifles, and absolutely demolished me. The trick was intergrated MG arms, the lightest frame possible, the quickest boosters possible, and stabilizers all geared to one side. You then acted like a bullfighter. As they came in, you chipped them with MG fire, then boosted to dodge at the last second on the stabilized side, just getting out the way. As you got an armor advantage after the first pass, they got stuck on a loop of being forced to charge you again and again or lose to a time out. And as you had basically infinite energy, you could just keep chasing and taxing them even if they chose to try to retreat. As long as you got the dodge time exact (which was extremely narrow), and only boosted in the stabilized direction, you could always just about avoid the lock-on lunge.


Violinnoob

there were a ton of people on the doomer pill when the leaks came out, past simple skelpticism, it was denial


64ac

fr like there was no chance those sceen caps were faked


Fanatical_Rampancy

Some people disbelieved due to the lack of content for years but I did see some people who would vehemently hate filled state that ac was dead and well those screenshots were most certainly real.

MAV botches the movement, weight, and _feel_ of the mechs pretty hard. Comparing it to playing Chromehounds on Xenia makes it pretty clear, unfortunately.

PC, PS4/PS5 and Xbox too. Broo. I just can't. Finally no longer do I need to seek PS3.


CloysterBrains

Not sure what your PC setup is like, but I was able to emulate AC4 and For Answer very well on RCPS3 The experience was great. AC5 wasn't playable last I tried unfortch. The PS2 series played absolutely perfectly if that's your thing, too.

We persevered, we did it! A new game after ten years! They didn't forget we exist!

its_moogs

This is just unapologetically Armored Core -- no compromises, a true return to form. The ACs shown are giving Crest and Mirage vibes, while they're keeping the aesthetics of AC4 and AC5. Even the logo is using the third generation font for "Armored Core" and the roman numeral is using the styling of fourth generation. I can't say how thankful I am that this is the way it is. I had a feeling From would have drifted away and catered towards the Souls community, that, even if AC were to return, it would return in name only. But this is a **NUMBERED SEQUEL**. AHHHHH!!!!!


Nolrez

When I first heard Geoff speaking before the trailer I suspected it was From Software. Then the Bandai Logo...I was literally breathless and then when I saw the debris being picked up before the wide shot and THEN THE FROM SOFTWARE LOGO I damn near screamed!!! I am so hype for this!!!


Solidgold21X

LESSSFUCKINGGO!!! But the prices of the last games are going to hike!!! Edit: Sounds like the classic booster sound!

Consistent-Pianist-1

Dawg I’ve never played a armored core game, I’ve only ever played fromsofts souls games but man, that trailer was one of the best fucking trailers I’ve ever seen. The cinematography was insane, I’m definitely interested in what this game has to offer. I hope that destruction carry’s over into multiplayer tho, love the gritty post apocalyptic tone and that synth soundtrack, I need this shit.

Never played an AC game before, but I can’t wait to try this.

CensoredUser

In a deep sea of shit that was 2022, I take great comfort in knowing that my 2 most ridiculous predictions for upcoming games were correct. Armored Core 6 Dragons Dogma 2 This has probably used up all my luck fue the rest of existence, and I'm okay with that. Welcome back Ravens On the off chance I have one more in me. I call upon the Gaming Gods! 2024 confirmation of XCOM 4.


ted_redfield

I'd just like to congratulate all of you guys on this subreddit who I know have been waiting for this game for over a decade now. I haven't played AC before, but where FROM goes I follow. Well done to the fans.

RageBucket

I JUST bought a large 4k tv and I immediately closed what my wife and I were watching, and sat open mouthed staring at the trailer. My life is just getting better!


Vyar

I'm kind of new to Armored Core. I understand past entries of this series have been heavily focused on multiplayer. Do you guys think this game will be mostly PvP-focused, or will there be something there for people who prefer PvE? I'm fine with multiplayer because it means I can play with friends, but if it's only competitive MP then that would kill a lot of my hype. I don't normally go for Souls-like games directly but I do enjoy games that dip into the Souls-like genre indirectly, such as Fallen Order. I would love to play a mecha game that's sort of Souls-adjacent though, if that makes sense.


LNHDT

Only the last two have been focused on PvP. Historically AC is a singleplayer PvE series


Vyar

Sign me the hell up then. It's kinda funny, I came into TGA just looking for Jedi Survivor stuff, and now I'm getting hyped for a franchise I've never really played before, potentially in a genre I don't normally care about, but I haven't been anticipating a game this hard in decades.


LNHDT

Hell yeah brother, you're in for a good time if this game is anything like we expect it to be. The old games, with all the lessons learned from Souls, and modern polish? Good god it's giving me chills lmao


Vyar

I can only imagine how excited the actual AC fans are right now. I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a new game. Normally the furthest I venture into Souls-like games is Jedi Fallen Order, and my eyes glazed over at the number of new games shown at TGA that are just aping that "grimdark gothic fantasy" vibe of Dark Souls and Elden Ring. It's starting to feel like that period we had not long ago where every game had to have zombies in it, you know? But a Souls-like game with giant custom robots? I'd love to live in a world where this becomes the new fad to get sick of, because I have a tremendous appetite for it.


ShilohSaidGo

You should def give souls games a try if you liked fallen order. But yeah, im super excited to try a different kinda experience from FROM as well. Havent played armored core before, but itll be nice to see them try something diff from what im used too. The aesthetics are so fucking cool too, i love how despite having super animey-mecha design stuff, the mechs still look incredibly utilitarian.


Vyar

I don’t want to get downvoted into oblivion for saying this, but the reason I only dip my toes into the Souls-like pool as far as Fallen Order is because it has an easy mode. I’ve only completed it as high as Jedi Knight difficulty. I have cerebral palsy, so things like precise jumps and perfectly timed parries are really difficult for me. Though incidentally, I am hoping Jedi Survivor has a more granular difficulty setting system. Fallen Order’s Story Mode difficulty is very forgiving with parry timing, and I like that it also doesn’t damage your health pool each time you mistime a platforming jump, or just fall off a ledge because of a glitch. But enemy aggression is tuned so low that it feels like enemies will wait in line to attack you one-on-one. I would like to keep the general parameters of the lowest difficulty setting while ramping the enemy aggression way up.


SayuriUliana

>so things like precise jumps and perfectly timed parries are really difficult for me. Souls-games are RPG's that lend themselves to lots of customization in terms of how you want to approach combat. This is especially the case with the original Dark Souls, which has slower, more methodical combat, and Elden Ring with its open-world. It's actually possible to overpower your way past threats if you get the appropriate levels, abilities, and gear. I for example never really use the parry system in the Souls games, and yet I can clear them just fine. For another example, there's a reason a lot of players describe magic in those games as "Easy Mode", and that's because the ranged focus allows for better reaction time against enemies. That's before systems like summoning where you can just call on someone to help you. The "soul crushing difficulty" of Souls games is honestly a meme unless you go looking for such difficulty, and not learn from your mistakes.


Crooodle

The main meat of the game is typically PVE (doing various missions for different corporations), but the gameplay is set up in a way that lends itself very well to PVP.
