I don't know what you're pretending to want, this is precisely when a clean UI should be clean.
Watch Ganker say absolutely nothing about this when they screech about every western game UI
It’s ok when FromMyLastSoftware does it just like how copying and pasting games is ok when they do it but not when ubisoft does it
it literally is okay when games do it if it fits the setting
it worked for death stranding, it works for AC, it will work for starfield (all sci-fi games)
the problem is when you get this shit put in games like witcher and GOW (fantasy) because the designers wanted an intuitive casual-friendly UI without putting in the effort to make it fit aesthetically
This is mek UI, it's supposed to be uber flat loaded with info and bonus points for some useless graphs like 'SEMENAL FLUIDS LEVELS BELOW CRITICAL TRESHOLD'.
>watch it win GOTY
Unfortunately, they won last year with Elden Ring. It will undoubtedly go to TotK because Tendie shilling. If it doesn't, I'd expect Hogwarts Legacy IF Dorito Pope doesn't make a moronic fricking statement about JK Rowling.
Obviously AC6 is gonna be a ten times better game than those but I don't think it's getting GOTY realistically in the same year that a fricking Zelda game has come out. Hogwarts legacy is not getting it, the story is way too trash. Starfield gets a good amount of points for just being a Bethesda game. FF gets a lot of points for being a ridiculously long running franchise but no way anything other than Tears of the kingdom wins. Fromsoft gets a ton of free points at this point, they have a certain amount of "pedigree" if that makes sense, but nothing can possibly outmatch the sheer cult like behavior Nintendo evokes with the media type "people".
>fly over something >camera does this
even the mech instantly turns around, this garbage has soulshit all over it
So what is the cope that Slopfield fans will use to justify Starfield being a better game than AC6? The paper-thin RPG mechanics? The infinite worlds full of nothing but rocks and a few fetch quests?
Oh look, floating camera just like a Souls game. Something I said the game blatantly had but was told by both Ganker and /m/ I'm a fricking moron who doesn't know anything.
Feel as vindicated as when I said the Bloodborne leaks were real and I got the same response.
The AC's heading is not determined by the direction of the camera like in past games, like a typical TPS view. The AC now follows a 360 degree of movement and the camera pans around the AC.
>That's not exclusive to any one game.
Saying it's a "souls game" is shorthand. The argument isn't that it's like a specific game, the argument is that it's not like armored core. Playing like "all AAA games" is NOT playing like armored core.
Black person, what does From make? How did AC games work before 6? How does 6 work after a decade of Souls games? The design decisions surrounding it very much exist in a vacuum on what From has learned since Demon's Souls.
what does any of that have to do with fromsoft and their development history? a series that barely changed fundamentally is now seeing massive core shifts, and you don't think the genre of games from basically popularized had anything to do with it?
if you think from soft invented the modern way of doing 3d person camera I legit have no words for you, you're a lost cause

If you want to fricking die, yes. Even heavily tanks need to consider some kind of short-burst movement option like a strong OB core if they don’t want to be sitting ducks.
Wow, I don't think I've ever made an AC that tanky that could take that many grenade launchers. Oh, a shield. I almost never used those either. Too bad in actual practice tank treads were basically grenade launcher platforms until we unlocked h+
If you want to fricking die, yes. Even heavily tanks need to consider some kind of short-burst movement option like a strong OB core if they don’t want to be sitting ducks.
I just played through all of AC Nexus and 1 route of Last Raven as the fricking heaviest tank AC possible with the most powerful weapons I could fit on it. I had few problems until the final mission of my Last Raven route where I couldn't dodge the bombardment missiles.

Look how the mechs have zero weight to them. Will still sell gangbusters because it has fromreddit on the cover
>Look how the mechs have zero weight to them
This is my biggest gripe so he's not alone. People saying this has any resemblance to the PS2 era are fricking delusional as well.
I don't want to return to PS2, FA and VD have shown me what this series can actually be, and 6 is showing to be exemplary in this regard. If you want to play Another Age for 20 more years, it's still easy to emulate.
The idea of no FCS because of lock-on is moronic because AC4 had lock-on and still had FCS. It can still dictate lock-range, missile lock max, lock speed and accuracy.
Nah it has blatant hard-lock. The reverse joint AC was doing instant perfect 180s the moment enemies went under it, and there was no sign of the lock disengaging like a soft lock in that scenario. Too good for a demo presentation player. That's tourny pro level shit in ACFA.
The camera is clearly being manually turned as the player passes over the enemy, and he then re-establishes lockon when he has the enemy near the center of the screen.
I don't care because anybody with a brain sees the clear improvements to combat now that they can design the fundamentals around the face buttons being comfortably available to even Ricky Berwick. The AC was combo chaining multiple weapons seamlessly.
>morons will say this is bad because they made it better
It's MHW all over again, enjoy screaming at your series evolving and achieving major success I guess.
>That's how it's been in every game. You equip the karasawa and you win.
Based moron who doesn't know the Karasawa was shit for literally half the series.
>Just understand the gameplay loop is die > build new AC > try again. Instead of die > learn attack patterns.
This will be good then.
Frankly, I am just tired of perfecting a boss movement pattern at this point.
>violating one of the core tenets of the series
Fake fan.
The core tenet was always about building the AC for the mission at hand and never really about skill. Even Nexus becomes a cakewalk when you build an AC for maximum cooling.
Don't understand why people would object to a lock-on system. Having to constantly both use the right stick to aim and press the face buttons is terrible. Controllers just aren't designed to accommodate complex sim-like control schemes, that's why the Steel Battalion controller exists.

lmao
It looks excellent, this is easily going to be the best AC game. Environments actually have some design and look interesting to navigate, combat looks incredible and melee better than ever, I need it to be August now.

the Shazam discord really needs to get some new material for this one, their shitposting has become samey at this point
I don't mind change, I just don't want it to be effortless to control your robot. I always liked how it felt like you're piloting a tank when playing Armored Core, even the easiest titles. This looks a bit closer to ZoE, which I'm not a fan of.
So i just went thru all of AC2 and AC3 again and they still hold up. And i was really excited to get more of that and god damn am i disappointed at this video. They made it something completely different and thats not at all what i want to see armored cores name stapled to. Just rename it and it could of been a cool new game. I shoulda driven drunk more when i was younger maybe i could of avoided having this happen to all my favorite stuff.
you could jump and sidejump in sekiro
what fricking difference does it make when you are circle-strafing around enemies and dodge their telegraphed attacks just like in dark souls??
Just play release order. This is the answer to this question 99% of the time "how do I get into X" is asked. The first game still holds up as it was crazily ahead of its time
Play all of them, just make an effort to learn bunny hopping in the earlier games because it makes them feel a million times better to play and will help you not to get killed a gorillion times.
AC fanbase is way too defensive over the word "Souls" and jumps the gun like a pitbull mauling a child whenever they hear it.
Saying AC6 has a Souls camera is not people saying FromSoft invented TPS lock-on action cameras. It's not saying AC6 is a Soulsborne. It's saying FromSoft took the camera they know works from the past half-dozen games they've made over the last decade and put it into AC6. It's like a barebones comparison that's easy to understand. Nobody is saying AC6 is secretly Elden Ring 2, or that it's going to have dodge rolling or whatever. I know you're testy over VaatiVidya and other secondaries coming in, but you have to calm yourself down.
>AC fanbase is way too defensive over the word "Souls" and jumps the gun
it's only americans and shiposters tho
old fans in europe and japan lore everything shown about AC6 so far
>Saying AC6 has a Souls camera is not people saying FromSoft invented TPS lock-on action cameras. It's not saying AC6 is a Soulsborne. It's saying FromSoft took the camera they know works from the past half-dozen games they've made over the last decade and put it into AC6
Except that
-Fromsoft didn't invent that camera style. Modern games have had it for a while, it's just a standard way of doing cameras now so saying that is some sort of connection to Souls is moronic
-Fans are sick of people obviously trying to force AC into being something it isn't and isn't trying to be.
>now so saying that is some sort of connection to Souls is moronic
You mean besides the fact FromSoft made the games, which became a sub-genre akin to Metroidvania, so saying it's a Souls camera is about as on-point as saying Death Stranding has clear gameplay influences from Metal Gear.
The game seems weightier than I expected, but that might be because of the animations and sound design. For aesthetic reasons I wish it played a little slower, but it looks a lot better than I thought it would
>Slow
Blatantly faster than 3rd gen and 5th gen. The only way you don't know this is if you exclusively played 4th gen.
>dumbed down customization
Customization is in line with titles like 3 and its expansions. The only part type missing is Shoulder Attachments.
>music is just some background noise
Confirmed Kota Hoshino, who has done the OSTs for basically every AC game, is the head of audio design and music, and the boss fight theme is the exact same electronic borderline indecipherable lyrics he's always done.
>Souls boss at the end of every level
Games like Nexus always ended, or the very least included, boss fights against other mercenaries and super weapons.
>faster than slowest shit
Impressive, very nice. Which is slow. >The only part type missing is Shoulder Attachments.
Thanks for confirming. Don't forget 4 boosters being merged into one, killing the build variety and complete lack of stabilizers. >Confirmed Kota Hoshino
Cool, too bad they in 4 minutes of the demo there haven't been a single track that grabbed attention. >Games like Nexus
Too bad all other games didn't have it for a reason.
>Vaati says the player intentionally died during the mission so he could change his mech and go back to the last checkpoint and beat an enemy more easily
Huh. I don't play this series but that seems a bit too convenient
I wouldn't be surprised they have pulled back on punishing you for death. Series was already headed that way. But I could see them doing a cost for changing out your AC.
Look, I just don't like how it's missions-based (more like missions-cringe ammirite guise?)
I'd want to take time and explore these big levels and grind souls to get better gear, get lost, etc. I just think there's going to be no replay value here.
It looks really fricking good. Blades actually have more than one swipe now and the overall pace of combat seemed very well done. This is what happens when you get a mech game done with somewhat of an actual budget. From has come a long way with their know how and giving the project to Yamamura was definitely the right call.
>HARD LOCK-ON IS LE BAD! >Why? >WELL UH... YOU SEE ERM... FREE AIM... MUH SOUL... FRICK SOULS...
You're all moronic as frick. This game looks amazing and I say that as a long time AC vet.
It does, confirmed by everybody who saw the full preview with HUD. Lock has two states, soft and hard.
>Soft lock evenly splits missiles between targets and guides your weapon aim like typical AC >Hard lock focuses on missiles on the currently selected target and keeps the AC primed at what you're looking at
>listening to the nonsense Vaati pulls out of his ass
It has soft lock on with the ability to prioritize a certain target, like 4.

Honestly that seems about appropriate if we're going on 5th gen rules. If you aren't boosting or if your generator is off, you turn extremely fast. It's actually the core of how U-Turns work in 5th gen. >Boost in one direction >Cut boosters almost the instant you start boosting so you hit the ground >Land and hard turn until you're facing the direction you want to be facing >Jump immediately to return to aerial positioning or QB to the side for a juke and then jump immediately

Oh yeah, I think you're right. Based on the footage it looks like boosting trades off turn speed for movement speed, meaning there's actually a point to not boosting during combat.

Oh what a surprise, it's 4cucks who are dogging on this game.
You are the most worthless Black folk imaginable, your opinion holds about as much weight on the franchise as DmC fans to DMC. You played one fricking game in the franchise and think you have valid input on anything.
It's not even 4gays, it's literally just homosexuals, who literally have only played FA. The idea of actually playing any other AC title gives them lesions.
>Looks nothing like a Souls game >People are shitposting that it is despite looking nothing like it >Just looks like a fusion of Verdict Day and For Answer
morons I swear
>It's not a good game from a different genre >it's more like a stripped down/simplified mix of the two worst generations of games
Even worse. I just want them to remake a game from 1997 AGAIN
Stop being moronic. People are saying the combat is influenced by Souls, and between the Hard Lock-On, huge telegraphs on enemy attacks, and ability to stagger enemies, you'd be a fool not see the effects that Souls had on the games design.
The games prioritize function over style. You can pick your colors and it'll probably allow you to make an emblem too, but there's no transmog options and you need to be mindful of weight, so for example it can be difficult or impossible to make an AC that has a chunky ass upper body and is decked out like rambo but has skinny chicken legs.
If you slap on tank legs and tons of armor, you will be extremely slow, but extremely hard to actually break. It actually serves its purpose extremely well in 1st gen (other than literally the last mission of AC1), all of gen 3/3.5, and it's fricking phenomenal (with a large amount of skill) in gen 5. It's only explicitly bad in 4th gen because of the extreme speed climb, and they're usually really bad in 2nd gen because most of the missions require a ton of vertical movement and tanks pretty much can't meet the requirements with their limited vertical climb and generators running out.
I will literally never recover from that feeling when I learned that that was actually the fricking lyrics. I thought it was in some other language and it was just so loaded with filters that it simply sounded like that.
This looks pretty much exactly how I imagined it in my head. Weightier than something like AC4, still highly mobile, souls-ier boss design. Looks pretty good to me.
What'd be really cool is if it got more and more mobile over the course of the game.
Honestly tho, Vaati turned me off AC VI now, it really does feels like Armored Souls (no, I'm not baiting, I'm just sad).
I thought having telegraphed enemy attacks might be better, but after playing AC4A and fearing for my life when going against White Glint and having to go back to the garage and think about my build again to try and face off against this very dangerous enemy that moves like a human because they aren't shackled to pre baked animations.
Am I being a doomer? I was really hyped for this game but start of Vaati's video managed to dump a bucket of cold ice on my hype.
>Kota Hoshino really isn't back.
the fact that from relegated that madman to just sound design is one of the greatest tragedies in the modern industry. We need him now more than ever.
>To be fair it was to be expected; Souls literally prints money.
It's dissapointing cause From went out of their way to say "no this won't be anything like Dark Souls" but now it feels like there's just so much Dark Souls influence from the way the AC moves, the camera lock on, the level, encounter and boss design, doesn't even sound like there's any music, just like Dark Souls.
>Am I being a doomer? >Nah, pretty much every single veteran of the series gave up on 6 after watching the video.
"every single vet gave up" Frick off, you don't speak for anyone but yourself. You're seriously lacking self awareness if you think the post you just wrote wasn't just more nonsense doomposting. You didn't care about AC before AC6 was announced and you wouldn't care then if FS wasn't successful, don't pretend otherwise.
Because 4A is the game I'm currently playing, but I could've just as well choose any AC encounter from AC1, or Master of Arena, or really, most Arena fights to make my point.
You couldn't really do that against the AI pre-4 either, they were always locked on, and it's just their weapons that had to catch up

Question is, is the general gameplan still more about smart overtime damage mitigation instead of dodging big frick off attacks that take out half your health?
You could "cheese" all of 2's arena by doing strafe QB bursts to get behind the opponent. You could always stay behind enemy AC's if you weren't slow.
I don't, which is why I'm reserving judgement, but that was the way every enemy fought in past AC games, they felt real with their unrelenting assault, not like programmed enemies in a video game.

There were, yes, but I still prefer a more refined version of that to having telegraphed fights in a AC game.
Reminder that AC6 threads, like any big new game release, are being raided by Discord troons desperate for their next (you) fix, but AC fans are too autistic to notice.

Yea but those changes happened in the OLD games, OLD = GOOD, remember?

>soundtrack so far consists of nothing but dreary industrial ambient music
It's cool I guess but I hope that's not the whole game.
Where are the bangers?
Stop being such moronic contrarians. >No, you can't have lock on in AC game!
You can't use both sticks and face buttons at the same time with, whine about lock on after every controller has back buttons. >No, you can't have souls bosses in AC!
It would be extremely dumb to not use something that from excels at.
Stagger mechanic and well telegraphed attacks are always great as well. Hope there is some kind of parry mechanic too.
I can't tell if the camera is making the AC do quick turns like that or if they are doing it 4/5th gen style. I'm cool with the camera and lock on as long as your FCS effects lock on range and how fast it can keep up with you boosting around. My only major concern is if every stage is gonna be as empty as it is now and in4/4A. Sure 4A is my favorite game in the series but I hate how empty it all is especially since you have a lot of mobility and I don't think any of the giant bosses will be a threat if every stage and arena are that open. Overall it looks pretty alright, I just want to see a HUD and how fighting other AC's play out.
Pretty sure this is 4th/5th gen style. Kind of sucks because turn speed should be a stat. And having your FCS work as a limiter for your souls lock-on kind of defeats the purpose of having that in the first place so I just think those parts are out.
Lmao it looks like a piece of shit from PS3 era and plays even worse.
Who the frick gets excited over this garbage? Is that some kind of meme where everyone just pretends to get hype?
It's shit, objectively. Looks like shit, animations are shit, gameplay is stiff dashing left and right, what the frick?

You gays don't tire of the same song and dance for every game?
I always wondered how people got around in the giant test facilities that they have. How do they open those huge ass doors? Do they just gokart around everywhere?
ACs are very large, like a human sitting inside the head piloting it large. I assume there'll be at least a few missions set in a city so you'll be able to see its size vs buildings/vehicles.

There is literally no generation where you are not constantly in motion with boosters, not even AC1.
Because ever since 2012 every major release needs to be a tortanic so they can get their ebin dopamine release from posting the funny screencaps on r/Ganker about how they le epic owned a new video game.
Because this place isn't for talking about videogames earnestly, it's basically blue /b/ and if your post isn't porn or trolling it falls on deaf ears, the only way to interact if you want to argue a serious point is to be a bigger autist and out-troll and out-bait everyone.
No it's because liking games is for redditors and children, REAL men shouldn't like games, they should just waste of hours of their lives angrily shitposting about random games that they never played. They should all be buglike hiveminds of anger, devoid of joy or critical thinking, only ZOG approved contrarianism.
Oh, and they should do all of this for free, too.
No but it'd be cool if that was an option. It'd actually make sense since your missions have gotten interrupted by enemy ACs since the PS1 games. They could even do it like a bounty system where you get paid by one of the corpos to defend their assets vs a player that's in a mission.

Either way, this becomes goty and sells more than any other AC game in history.
There is literally no way you can tortanic-shazam this one Ganker, given by how you've now resorted to try and pit soul babies and armored grandpas against eachother, when in reality both are loving every second of what they are seeing as they are part of the big fromdrone family, nay sayers quite literally cannot do anything but ignore reality and get high on the fumes of their own turds, trying to detract away from the "competition", strashfield being DOGSHIT LMAO.
In truth I haven't seen a single doomerpost that seems like it's coming from anybody who has demonstratively played Armored Core before. 99.999% of this inane shitposting is clearly from outsiders who found one thing to repeat ad nauseam in the hopes that it upsets others, but really nothing else concrete.
Dude I didn't just pre-order it, I shelled out like $200 for the fricking Collector's edition. I NEVER pre-order games and NEVER buy collector goyslop but holy shit, we are fricking back.
I'm not interested in making a webm of the latest when it's basically the same, enemies can't hit you for shit and they stand still waiting for you to kill them.
>The video proof is a lie!!!! >NOOOO NOOOO IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO I MEAN 1 YEAR AGO
So it's the same despite being a year/two years in development?Enemies can't hit you for shit and they stand still waiting for you to kill them, being able to run now makes it even more evident.

Forget about it. He's a useful idiot to get the masses to buy Armored Core 6 so we get the redux soon.
He'll forget all about AC anyway when the ER DLC dripfeeds come in and he gets in fast in order to not miss the boat ever since seething that the bloodbornegays ate his lunch
It's nothing like Souls. People are seeing a hard lock-on and calling it Souls. Souls didn't invent hard locks and AC has had them before. There's no i-frames and no invasions.
It's AC movment, just not AC:4A insanity speed movement.

You people are dumb as frick. Decoupling the camera from the AC and adding a hard lock doesn't suddenly make the game a Soulslike. AC needed these things to survive as a modern game. They weren't going to fricking make a classical AC game with everything preserved because classical AC games were clunky (I loved them anyway) and sold like shit as a result. If you expected anything but this you're moronic, and if you're upset this is being done at all you have shit taste.

Yep, just normal armored core camera control here.
It's funny how people just hate pure FUN here, they should be fricking glad some devs are still willing to make games like those instead of the Ubisoft/Sony movie trash.
Just hope you can be FASTER and just jump around and boost like a total dumb dumb. Also hope the enemies are more reactive. It looks like it was on easy mode. Melee is sick though. Level design did seem souls though. But I haven't played a underground/isolated AC level in a bit. But it did remind me of nexus shit. And you gays would call Nexus "armored souls" if that came out today. Anyway the smoke, exhaust, and other particle effects are cool and make the game feel alive. Especially the way the enemy mechs react to being shot and melee'd.
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BORROW MECHANICS FROM YOUR OWN GAMES THAT LITERALLY REDEFINED THE ACTION GENRE AND EVERYONE RIPS OFF NOW! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOULS SOULS SOULS >Lies of P? Nioh? Now THIS is kino!
Honestly I don't care what you "people" call it as long as you kys. Preordered btw.
honestly I'm not even that annoyed at the repair kits cause they said the levels are longer, that makes sense.
Now i'm worried the levels are longer cause the'll be like dark souls levels
You really didn't, cause them you'd be worried that the game you've been expecting for the better part of a decade is going to be a rehash of another franchise.
People who like bad things and hate good things are happier since there are more bad things around than good. The tradeoff is being upset with games like AC6 that show actual promise.

Looks so fricking clean
>Like souls

It's so tiring.
the UI is already confirmed for being soulless lol
Watch Ganker say absolutely nothing about this when they screech about every western game UI
It’s ok when FromMyLastSoftware does it just like how copying and pasting games is ok when they do it but not when ubisoft does it
>Armored core has not only had UI's like this for two generations now, but it literally fits the corporate hellscape properties of the setting to a T
>Clean information will also be needed when parsing through large amounts of information that aren't just "ATK+1800" and "Fire Element"
I don't know what you're pretending to want, this is precisely when a clean UI should be clean.
it fits the setting, unlike the similar clean UIs you see for fantasy games
Flat robotic UIs work in sci-fi games such as this, not in medieval fantasy.
it literally is okay when games do it if it fits the setting
it worked for death stranding, it works for AC, it will work for starfield (all sci-fi games)
the problem is when you get this shit put in games like witcher and GOW (fantasy) because the designers wanted an intuitive casual-friendly UI without putting in the effort to make it fit aesthetically
This is mek UI, it's supposed to be uber flat loaded with info and bonus points for some useless graphs like 'SEMENAL FLUIDS LEVELS BELOW CRITICAL TRESHOLD'.
That UI is the same as the first AC you homosexual.

>watch it win GOTY
Unfortunately, they won last year with Elden Ring. It will undoubtedly go to TotK because Tendie shilling. If it doesn't, I'd expect Hogwarts Legacy IF Dorito Pope doesn't make a moronic fricking statement about JK Rowling.
Sadly TotK will win because Zelda fricking tendies
starfield or ff16
Dude I love AC but it's not getting GOTY over Starfield which has a billion todd marks or Zelda nintendies.
nobody thought elden ring was getting goty either.
Their only realistic competition was God of War under normalgay standards
Obviously AC6 is gonna be a ten times better game than those but I don't think it's getting GOTY realistically in the same year that a fricking Zelda game has come out. Hogwarts legacy is not getting it, the story is way too trash. Starfield gets a good amount of points for just being a Bethesda game. FF gets a lot of points for being a ridiculously long running franchise but no way anything other than Tears of the kingdom wins. Fromsoft gets a ton of free points at this point, they have a certain amount of "pedigree" if that makes sense, but nothing can possibly outmatch the sheer cult like behavior Nintendo evokes with the media type "people".
ahh yes, just like the games my grandpa used to play out in the streets with all the other kids from the neighborhood, like hoop rolling n shiet

Looks fun as frick
Oh look, floating camera just like a Souls game. Something I said the game blatantly had but was told by both Ganker and /m/ I'm a fricking moron who doesn't know anything.
Feel as vindicated as when I said the Bloodborne leaks were real and I got the same response.
What do you mean by "floating camera"?
The AC's heading is not determined by the direction of the camera like in past games, like a typical TPS view. The AC now follows a 360 degree of movement and the camera pans around the AC.
It's just the modern way of doing the TP camera, not really exclusive to DS.
That's not exclusive to any one game. Pretty much all AAA games in a 3D space has this
For God sake, nobody is saying From invented this camera view. But AC didn't have it and Souls games did, and now AC has it.
people are arguing they are dumbing down the series to make it more friendly to new comers and in turn making the series lose what made it unique.
>That's not exclusive to any one game.
Saying it's a "souls game" is shorthand. The argument isn't that it's like a specific game, the argument is that it's not like armored core. Playing like "all AAA games" is NOT playing like armored core.
>any 3d person game is a soulseborne
for your own sake I'll pretend you're baiting
Black person, what does From make? How did AC games work before 6? How does 6 work after a decade of Souls games? The design decisions surrounding it very much exist in a vacuum on what From has learned since Demon's Souls.
by your moronic logic RE4 remake, Max Payne and Vanquish are soulsborne too
just fricking kys moron, I'm not joking
>b-but other games by other devs!
If I had wings I'd be a bird, not fricking relevant.
what does any of that have to do with fromsoft and their development history? a series that barely changed fundamentally is now seeing massive core shifts, and you don't think the genre of games from basically popularized had anything to do with it?
if you think from soft invented the modern way of doing 3d person camera I legit have no words for you, you're a lost cause
nobody is saying that, you're making things up in your head
>from makes ac which has basically third person view
>from makes souls games from over a decade
>armored core comes back
>it now has a camera like... the games from has made for the past decade
doesn't make it soulsborne or whatever fricking scenario you invented in your head
>doesn't make it soulsborne or whatever fricking scenario you invented in your head
Who are you quoting? Who said FS invented this camera view?
So they got rid of the turning speed stat and instead are using modernized camera system with a hard lock-on? Thank fricking god
This is why we can't have good things anymore.
But we're getting AC6 soon and it looks really good so you're wrong
have a nice day moronic normalgay
Up until now you would have been an idiot because nothing we saw indicated this. And it certainly didn't help with fromsoft going all "it's totally not souls guys" the whole time. But then again they said the same shit for elden ring lmao
>Up until now you would have been an idiot because nothing we saw indicated this.
Literally visible in the second trailer.
Looks great. Love the weighty look of the melee combat, especially the loud BANG caused by kicking MT’s.
god DAMN i am hard now
>wienerpit
Can you just make a huge meaty slow mecha in these games?
If you want to fricking die, yes. Even heavily tanks need to consider some kind of short-burst movement option like a strong OB core if they don’t want to be sitting ducks.
Wow, I don't think I've ever made an AC that tanky that could take that many grenade launchers. Oh, a shield. I almost never used those either. Too bad in actual practice tank treads were basically grenade launcher platforms until we unlocked h+
I just played through all of AC Nexus and 1 route of Last Raven as the fricking heaviest tank AC possible with the most powerful weapons I could fit on it. I had few problems until the final mission of my Last Raven route where I couldn't dodge the bombardment missiles.
You can be a heavy boy if you want.
Fricking KNEEL. He was RIGHT.

FCS is still there. You can see the parts listed in the garage footage.

>Look how the mechs have zero weight to them
This is my biggest gripe so he's not alone. People saying this has any resemblance to the PS2 era are fricking delusional as well.
PS2 era AC was garbage. Kusoges propped up by nostalgia, I'm sick of people pretending AC didn't peak in Gen 4.
I don't want to return to PS2, FA and VD have shown me what this series can actually be, and 6 is showing to be exemplary in this regard. If you want to play Another Age for 20 more years, it's still easy to emulate.
That's fine. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that they're nothing alike so posts like
are nonsense.
>FA and VD have shown me what this series can actually be
Yea, complete fricking garbage

If you think that looks and plays anything like Elden Ring you're genuinely braindamaged or has autism.
>no FCS
>hard lock on
>no weight
Where are these hallucinations coming from?
The idea of no FCS because of lock-on is moronic because AC4 had lock-on and still had FCS. It can still dictate lock-range, missile lock max, lock speed and accuracy.
Yes, it's clearly like AC4's soft lock on, that's my point. Anyone calling it hard lock on is blind.
Nah it has blatant hard-lock. The reverse joint AC was doing instant perfect 180s the moment enemies went under it, and there was no sign of the lock disengaging like a soft lock in that scenario. Too good for a demo presentation player. That's tourny pro level shit in ACFA.
It's clearly hard lock, the camera's always fixed on the enemy.
is there a mecha game that doesn't involve strafing back and forth in the air and using auto-aim missiles

>drop the gameplay nonchalantly before summer fest announcement

That was hilarious
>souls lock on
What did you expect?
We all knew this was going to be Dark Souls mecha no matter what FromSoft claimed in early interviews.
are you fricking moronic or something?
Do you really think locking on target was something souls games originally did?
>fly over something
>camera does this
even the mech instantly turns around, this garbage has soulshit all over it
Seriously how the frick does anyone think this is anything but a hard lock on camera system.
The camera is clearly being manually turned as the player passes over the enemy, and he then re-establishes lockon when he has the enemy near the center of the screen.
I don't care because anybody with a brain sees the clear improvements to combat now that they can design the fundamentals around the face buttons being comfortably available to even Ricky Berwick. The AC was combo chaining multiple weapons seamlessly.
Those are quick turns.
And what's this?
This shit looks amazing, fast paced, combo potential, this is how mecha games should fricking be.
Reminds me of Gundam Extreme Vs.

Just understand the gameplay loop is die > build new AC > try again. Instead of die > learn attack patterns.

Fake fan.
The core tenet was always about building the AC for the mission at hand and never really about skill. Even Nexus becomes a cakewalk when you build an AC for maximum cooling.
Armored Bore is a mech series aimed at normies it basically plays like an arcade game so yes
Go back to War Thunder realistic boreshit, games are fun because they don't have to limit themselves to all that bs
have a nice day. also, miyazaki has little to do with this game
Looks good but if you released this same exact game in 2014 everyone would think it belongs to its time. It just seems... narrow. You know?
> that mechanical retraction after the double sword swing
Noticed that too, also all those jets firing up properly with the movement is fricking amazing.
My absolute homie
Don't understand why people would object to a lock-on system. Having to constantly both use the right stick to aim and press the face buttons is terrible. Controllers just aren't designed to accommodate complex sim-like control schemes, that's why the Steel Battalion controller exists.
what's the most comprehensive video on the game that isn't Vaati? I can't stand that guy's hyper-serious narration.

I don't mind change, I just don't want it to be effortless to control your robot. I always liked how it felt like you're piloting a tank when playing Armored Core, even the easiest titles. This looks a bit closer to ZoE, which I'm not a fan of.
So i just went thru all of AC2 and AC3 again and they still hold up. And i was really excited to get more of that and god damn am i disappointed at this video. They made it something completely different and thats not at all what i want to see armored cores name stapled to. Just rename it and it could of been a cool new game. I shoulda driven drunk more when i was younger maybe i could of avoided having this happen to all my favorite stuff.
AC2 fricking sucks because controlling a 3D action game with a d-pad is awful.
remap your controls scrub. I will use cirlce, X, square and triangle to change my view and there's nothing you can do about it.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS BAD BECAUSE............. BECAUSE I HATE SOULS GAME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
When could I fly or drift in Dark Souls?
>he doesn't know what happens in NG+156
ngmi
you could jump and sidejump in sekiro
what fricking difference does it make when you are circle-strafing around enemies and dodge their telegraphed attacks just like in dark souls??
I wish i can fly in Dark Souls
no anon, Ganker is still in the "i-its not like souls at all" cope because they haven't watched the gameplay video
Did you?
>IT has melee so it's a souls game
DMC is a souls game now.
what are the best ac games to play before this comes out? or should i just play them all.
3 > Silent Line is the best entry point. Good balance between overall presentation, general gameplay, part variety, difficulty etc.
Just play release order. This is the answer to this question 99% of the time "how do I get into X" is asked. The first game still holds up as it was crazily ahead of its time
Play all of them, just make an effort to learn bunny hopping in the earlier games because it makes them feel a million times better to play and will help you not to get killed a gorillion times.
AC fanbase is way too defensive over the word "Souls" and jumps the gun like a pitbull mauling a child whenever they hear it.
Saying AC6 has a Souls camera is not people saying FromSoft invented TPS lock-on action cameras. It's not saying AC6 is a Soulsborne. It's saying FromSoft took the camera they know works from the past half-dozen games they've made over the last decade and put it into AC6. It's like a barebones comparison that's easy to understand. Nobody is saying AC6 is secretly Elden Ring 2, or that it's going to have dodge rolling or whatever. I know you're testy over VaatiVidya and other secondaries coming in, but you have to calm yourself down.
>Nobody is saying AC6 is secretly Elden Ring 2
I'm saying it
AC6 is secretly Elden Ring 2
>AC fanbase is way too defensive over the word "Souls" and jumps the gun
it's only americans and shiposters tho
old fans in europe and japan lore everything shown about AC6 so far
this is nothing like elden ring. it's bloodborne 2
Mechiro: Ravens die thrice

Except that
-Fromsoft didn't invent that camera style. Modern games have had it for a while, it's just a standard way of doing cameras now so saying that is some sort of connection to Souls is moronic
-Fans are sick of people obviously trying to force AC into being something it isn't and isn't trying to be.
>-Fromsoft didn't invent that camera style.
Did you even read what you just quoted?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>is not people saying FromSoft invented TPS lock-on action cameras.
>now so saying that is some sort of connection to Souls is moronic
You mean besides the fact FromSoft made the games, which became a sub-genre akin to Metroidvania, so saying it's a Souls camera is about as on-point as saying Death Stranding has clear gameplay influences from Metal Gear.
The game seems weightier than I expected, but that might be because of the animations and sound design. For aesthetic reasons I wish it played a little slower, but it looks a lot better than I thought it would
PEAK ARMORED CORE
PEAK ARMORED CORE
Just as I thought. Dark Soul with robots. lmao
Can you fly in dark souls?
And thats kino.
Looks rad and an improvement on OG AC gameplay in every way, definitely gonna buy this.
I'm interesting in gameplay, sure, but it doesn't look... good? I don't know. We'll see when it comes out.
Reddit really needs to open back up so people who type like this can get the frick out
>but it doesn't look... good?
What do you mean? It looks like a really nice balance between 3rd gen and 4th gen movement.
>slow
>dumbed down customization
>epic killmoves
>music is just some background noise
>Souls boss at the end of every level
Skip
the music is pretty lacking
Wanna know how I know you're not even a secondary, but just a shitposter?
Do tell, I own 4A on both PS3 and 360 because PS3 version ran like ass.
>homosexual
Literally the worst kind of secondary
>boomer can't keep up
/spit
>Slow
Blatantly faster than 3rd gen and 5th gen. The only way you don't know this is if you exclusively played 4th gen.
>dumbed down customization
Customization is in line with titles like 3 and its expansions. The only part type missing is Shoulder Attachments.
>music is just some background noise
Confirmed Kota Hoshino, who has done the OSTs for basically every AC game, is the head of audio design and music, and the boss fight theme is the exact same electronic borderline indecipherable lyrics he's always done.
>Souls boss at the end of every level
Games like Nexus always ended, or the very least included, boss fights against other mercenaries and super weapons.
>faster than slowest shit
Impressive, very nice. Which is slow.
>The only part type missing is Shoulder Attachments.
Thanks for confirming. Don't forget 4 boosters being merged into one, killing the build variety and complete lack of stabilizers.
>Confirmed Kota Hoshino
Cool, too bad they in 4 minutes of the demo there haven't been a single track that grabbed attention.
>Games like Nexus
Too bad all other games didn't have it for a reason.
>Don't forget 4 boosters being merged into one
Which is how it's been for 90% of the franchise, secondary.
>faster than slowest shit
>Impressive, very nice. Which is slow.
Being faster than 3rd gen literally makes it the second fastest game in the series.
>watches tutorial level
>says a bunch of homosexual shit
>posts a homosexual-reddit-tier reaction image
Have fun transitioning, moron
god that's a lot of pve vs shit jobbers
>Vaati says the player intentionally died during the mission so he could change his mech and go back to the last checkpoint and beat an enemy more easily
Huh. I don't play this series but that seems a bit too convenient
It will most likely be limited, and your ammo/repair costs will stack.
I wouldn't be surprised they have pulled back on punishing you for death. Series was already headed that way. But I could see them doing a cost for changing out your AC.
they already confirmed that you will be penalized for dying and retrying from a checkpoint
this looks sick, haven't played an AC game since 4A. can't wait to get back into mech shit.
where the karasawa and moonlight at
Look, I just don't like how it's missions-based (more like missions-cringe ammirite guise?)
I'd want to take time and explore these big levels and grind souls to get better gear, get lost, etc. I just think there's going to be no replay value here.
Who asked?
>it isn't dark souls with robots!
>has all the soulsgays shills shilling it
hmm
They are unironically on From's payroll.
>One of the infamous handler Miyazaki's hounds
Looks cool, I'm excited for the tread legs.
>Armored Cucks are doomposting
>Soulschads are getting excited
We can't stop winning
It looks really fricking good. Blades actually have more than one swipe now and the overall pace of combat seemed very well done. This is what happens when you get a mech game done with somewhat of an actual budget. From has come a long way with their know how and giving the project to Yamamura was definitely the right call.
>HARD LOCK-ON IS LE BAD!
>Why?
>WELL UH... YOU SEE ERM... FREE AIM... MUH SOUL... FRICK SOULS...
You're all moronic as frick. This game looks amazing and I say that as a long time AC vet.
It doesn't even have hard lock on.
Yes, it does. It even controls missile barrage focusing.
>listening to the nonsense Vaati pulls out of his ass
It has soft lock on with the ability to prioritize a certain target, like 4.
Anon, it's been confirmed by multiple people how the lock-on works. You're coping at this point.
This is a mech game, not Call of Duty.
>multiple people
Name one other than Vaati and journos who watched his video to write their articles.
Anon, this was a live private presentation. Vaati didn't have an exclusive front-row seat just for him. Journos and other Youtubers were there.
You are coping.
Name one. Iron Pineapple also doesn't count.
>Nobody counts
Classic coping.
I accept your concession.
I accept your tears on August 26th, or when the two longer demos go live within the next month.
Where did he say hard lock on? He talks about the lock on making it easier to aim, which is true, and was true in 4.
>camera stays locked on
>don't have to turn your mech
c
o
p
e
He says it HELPS you stay locked on so you don't JUST have to turn. You left out some important words.
Yep, just normal armored core camera control here.
God the sense of scale is so fricked
this is just iron man sim at this point
at least in the PS2 games you were fighting in city streets in among futuristic apartment blocks
There probably is a city area in this game. problem is why didn't they show that instead?
>decoupled camera
So? You still strafe when targeting an enemy.
>fast turn speed
That's definitely a difference from previous games, but there is still quick turning so it clearly won't be enough during faster-paced combat.
Quick boost turn is just a cosmetic effect now, not a button you push.
>source: my ass
IT'S NOT FAST TURN SPEED YOU BUMBLING moron
camera is decoupled from turning your fricking mech
it controls EXACTLY LIKE DARK SOULS
you literally see it in the webm
of course you strafe when targeting the enemy... just like you do in DARK SOULS
Also what the frick is that turn speed?
Honestly that seems about appropriate if we're going on 5th gen rules. If you aren't boosting or if your generator is off, you turn extremely fast. It's actually the core of how U-Turns work in 5th gen.
>Boost in one direction
>Cut boosters almost the instant you start boosting so you hit the ground
>Land and hard turn until you're facing the direction you want to be facing
>Jump immediately to return to aerial positioning or QB to the side for a juke and then jump immediately
Oh yeah, I think you're right. Based on the footage it looks like boosting trades off turn speed for movement speed, meaning there's actually a point to not boosting during combat.
He literally says you stay locked on.
but but the shills told is good so it must be good.
Armored core is a mech game, this is not armored core
It does, confirmed by everybody who saw the full preview with HUD. Lock has two states, soft and hard.
>Soft lock evenly splits missiles between targets and guides your weapon aim like typical AC
>Hard lock focuses on missiles on the currently selected target and keeps the AC primed at what you're looking at
>defending hard lock-on in a shooter
guess you've never seen 6dof ac pvp
Fromdrones baka
soulbabbies never play other videogames
Have you literally only ever played FPS games?
>All third-person games are shooters
Yikes.
what the frick is wrong with you p*do idolgay?
Oh what a surprise, it's 4cucks who are dogging on this game.
You are the most worthless Black folk imaginable, your opinion holds about as much weight on the franchise as DmC fans to DMC. You played one fricking game in the franchise and think you have valid input on anything.
I agree with you but your example is shit I constantly hear normalhomosexuals say DmC was fine and it always seems to be the only one they played.
It's not even 4gays, it's literally just homosexuals, who literally have only played FA. The idea of actually playing any other AC title gives them lesions.
I fricking love AC4 and am excited as frick for AC6. Don't lump me in with moronic zoomers.
>Looks nothing like a Souls game
>People are shitposting that it is despite looking nothing like it
>Just looks like a fusion of Verdict Day and For Answer
morons I swear
>It's not a good game from a different genre
>it's more like a stripped down/simplified mix of the two worst generations of games
Even worse. I just want them to remake a game from 1997 AGAIN
The new FCS lock is still looking kinda sus though.
well we need to see what will be the stats of the fcs part, but so far it look like old fcs + optional hard lock
Stop being moronic. People are saying the combat is influenced by Souls, and between the Hard Lock-On, huge telegraphs on enemy attacks, and ability to stagger enemies, you'd be a fool not see the effects that Souls had on the games design.
>combat is influenced by Souls
Where other then Melee and that's about it
How about you read the rest of my post and I might tell you?
Show me where's the souls like influence then other then Melee then
I'm sorry, your inability to read more than a single line of text per post isn't my problem to solve.
I appreciate the concession then
so long as it doesn't have rolling or healing
Limited use AC repair kits per mission are confirmed.
wow looks incredibly easy. glad to know from software really got neutered after making sekiro.
why do pasty nerds always argue over irrelevant shit like the camera lock on
So how do cosmetics work in Armored Core?
Color is up to you and has a LOT of options, everything else is a part that serves a real purpose.
Can I make my mech look like a moron at the very least?
The games prioritize function over style. You can pick your colors and it'll probably allow you to make an emblem too, but there's no transmog options and you need to be mindful of weight, so for example it can be difficult or impossible to make an AC that has a chunky ass upper body and is decked out like rambo but has skinny chicken legs.
You actually can but in very subtle ways.
So how slow and tanky can you make yourself in these games? And is it viable?
If you slap on tank legs and tons of armor, you will be extremely slow, but extremely hard to actually break. It actually serves its purpose extremely well in 1st gen (other than literally the last mission of AC1), all of gen 3/3.5, and it's fricking phenomenal (with a large amount of skill) in gen 5. It's only explicitly bad in 4th gen because of the extreme speed climb, and they're usually really bad in 2nd gen because most of the missions require a ton of vertical movement and tanks pretty much can't meet the requirements with their limited vertical climb and generators running out.
The only part I'm not keen on is the estus equivalent
But if the trash do more damage then that should balance out
Are you scary now Ganker?
OH I'M SCAAAARY
I will literally never recover from that feeling when I learned that that was actually the fricking lyrics. I thought it was in some other language and it was just so loaded with filters that it simply sounded like that.
Frquency's lyrics are unique
Absolutely. I'm praying that whatever we get for AC6, it's just as odd as every other track we've gotten through their history.
I don't know how I feel about those boss fights
AC always had giant MTs but this time they look not awful to fight.
It has like one or two missions like that per game. Now we get capra demon at the end of everything all the time. armored souls
Naw one of the fights they showed was just a slightly tougher quadleg
There's gonna be more unique bosses than before but it's not every mission
This looks pretty much exactly how I imagined it in my head. Weightier than something like AC4, still highly mobile, souls-ier boss design. Looks pretty good to me.
What'd be really cool is if it got more and more mobile over the course of the game.
jesus
mecha gays are eating good, good for them
Honestly tho, Vaati turned me off AC VI now, it really does feels like Armored Souls (no, I'm not baiting, I'm just sad).
I thought having telegraphed enemy attacks might be better, but after playing AC4A and fearing for my life when going against White Glint and having to go back to the garage and think about my build again to try and face off against this very dangerous enemy that moves like a human because they aren't shackled to pre baked animations.
Am I being a doomer? I was really hyped for this game but start of Vaati's video managed to dump a bucket of cold ice on my hype.
Also, there's no music during missions anymore? Guess this means Kota Hoshino really isn't back.
>Kota Hoshino really isn't back.
the fact that from relegated that madman to just sound design is one of the greatest tragedies in the modern industry. We need him now more than ever.
>Am I being a doomer?
Nah, pretty much every single veteran of the series gave up on 6 after watching the video.
To be fair it was to be expected; Souls literally prints money.
>To be fair it was to be expected; Souls literally prints money.
It's dissapointing cause From went out of their way to say "no this won't be anything like Dark Souls" but now it feels like there's just so much Dark Souls influence from the way the AC moves, the camera lock on, the level, encounter and boss design, doesn't even sound like there's any music, just like Dark Souls.
>Nah, pretty much every single veteran of the series gave up on 6 after watching the video.
Go back to your general.
>Am I being a doomer?
>Nah, pretty much every single veteran of the series gave up on 6 after watching the video.
"every single vet gave up" Frick off, you don't speak for anyone but yourself. You're seriously lacking self awareness if you think the post you just wrote wasn't just more nonsense doomposting. You didn't care about AC before AC6 was announced and you wouldn't care then if FS wasn't successful, don't pretend otherwise.
>4A
Why is it literally you gays every fricking time lmfao
Because 4A is the game I'm currently playing, but I could've just as well choose any AC encounter from AC1, or Master of Arena, or really, most Arena fights to make my point.
How do you know the enemy ACs won't fight like they typically have done over the series? We've only seen one giant frickoff boss fight so far.
Because the old ACvAC combat doesn't work in a game where you can't intentionally fly out of the opponents view.
You couldn't really do that against the AI pre-4 either, they were always locked on, and it's just their weapons that had to catch up
Question is, is the general gameplan still more about smart overtime damage mitigation instead of dodging big frick off attacks that take out half your health?
You could "cheese" all of 2's arena by doing strafe QB bursts to get behind the opponent. You could always stay behind enemy AC's if you weren't slow.
I don't, which is why I'm reserving judgement, but that was the way every enemy fought in past AC games, they felt real with their unrelenting assault, not like programmed enemies in a video game.
>but that was the way every enemy fought in past AC games, they felt real with their unrelenting assault, not like programmed enemies in a video game
There were so many ways to cheese the dumbass AI in gens 1-3.
There were, yes, but I still prefer a more refined version of that to having telegraphed fights in a AC game.
For a guy with the username Vaati he sure seems to act like everything Souls borrowed from 3D Zelda is souls exclusive
I hate for answer gays like you would not fricking believe.
Reminder that AC6 threads, like any big new game release, are being raided by Discord troons desperate for their next (you) fix, but AC fans are too autistic to notice.
I don't know anything about AC but that looks really fun homie
If you're an AC fan you know you're eating good, the rest is all really secondaries trying to fit in.
>cumbersome controls
>weak weapons
>"its a soulslike"
pass
How hard can you gatekeep your precious game series Armored gays?
are you sure you can actually keep the cancer away?
is Mitsubishi really turning everything he touches in gold?
>are you sure you can actually keep the cancer away?
Have you looked at this fanbase? I'm getting more second-hand embarrassment than when ACgay turns up.
>WAH THEY CHANGED X MECHANIC IT'S RUINED
Woah, it's not like this series has made a habit of changing fricking anything and everything since 2.
>Woah, it's not like this series has made a habit of changing fricking anything and everything since 2.
Yea but those changes happened in the OLD games, OLD = GOOD, remember?
>Armored gays
Who? All the real fans abandoned ship after all the changes 4 brought, and what was left of them left after the abomination that was 5.
Damn this forum really just shits on every game thats not anime, and even those ones too sometimes. Do you guys even like video games or do you just like to b***h? This will be unadulterated kino
>shits on every game thats not hentai
Fixed it.
Go the frick back you moron
I wonder every day why I come here when so many people want to give the impression they don't like playing video games. On a board about video games.
Those are just the tendies and microwiener gays shitposting, ignore them.
>soundtrack so far consists of nothing but dreary industrial ambient music
It's cool I guess but I hope that's not the whole game.
Where are the bangers?
ac3 ost kind of just blends together in my memories tbh
only ones I remember are the arena songs
I love that video so much
Stop being such moronic contrarians.
>No, you can't have lock on in AC game!
You can't use both sticks and face buttons at the same time with, whine about lock on after every controller has back buttons.
>No, you can't have souls bosses in AC!
It would be extremely dumb to not use something that from excels at.
Stagger mechanic and well telegraphed attacks are always great as well. Hope there is some kind of parry mechanic too.
Shields take less juice to block things if you time it well apparently, so there's your parry
stop being a shill cuck sucker
I can't tell if the camera is making the AC do quick turns like that or if they are doing it 4/5th gen style. I'm cool with the camera and lock on as long as your FCS effects lock on range and how fast it can keep up with you boosting around. My only major concern is if every stage is gonna be as empty as it is now and in4/4A. Sure 4A is my favorite game in the series but I hate how empty it all is especially since you have a lot of mobility and I don't think any of the giant bosses will be a threat if every stage and arena are that open. Overall it looks pretty alright, I just want to see a HUD and how fighting other AC's play out.
Pretty sure this is 4th/5th gen style. Kind of sucks because turn speed should be a stat. And having your FCS work as a limiter for your souls lock-on kind of defeats the purpose of having that in the first place so I just think those parts are out.
Lmao it looks like a piece of shit from PS3 era and plays even worse.
Who the frick gets excited over this garbage? Is that some kind of meme where everyone just pretends to get hype?
It's shit, objectively. Looks like shit, animations are shit, gameplay is stiff dashing left and right, what the frick?
You fit in now anon, I'll get your badge, congratulations.
Its directed by the same guy who directed sekiro, so in the worst case it would be just a good game.
oh yeah? what's your favorite game, homosexual?
looks like a mobile game
>Armored core has literally never been good

You gays don't tire of the same song and dance for every game?
Are the mechs human sized or does sense of scale just suck in this game?
that's how it's always been baby
I always wondered how people got around in the giant test facilities that they have. How do they open those huge ass doors? Do they just gokart around everywhere?
Worker mechs and super dystopian golfcarts
ACs are very large, like a human sitting inside the head piloting it large. I assume there'll be at least a few missions set in a city so you'll be able to see its size vs buildings/vehicles.
they're no knightmare frames.
Do you not see all the tiny walkways around the area
I'm sure there will be stages outside of those big megafactories

ARMORED CORE gayS BTFO LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AUTO CONSTANT LOCK ON LMFAO
Dark Souls didn't invent hard-lock moron.
And armored core doesn't use hard lock
Is the camera turning to follow the enemy anon?
yes, at 10 seconds in, the camera is doing all the movement itself, not the player
You dumb? Yes, you're aimed at the enemy, but your movement is still free, not bound to the lock.
Watch more than five seconds, ADHDkun.
I don't need to watch I played the fricking game, this is not a hard lock like in Dark Souls or fricking Zelda.
>He played AC4 but never once pressed L3
lol
lmao
hahahaha
Honestly, no, I never once felt the need.
Then quit being moronic. AC4 had a hard-lock.
And it broke moment you QB'd and got outside it's range.
And they fixed that problem. AC6 is based as frick already.
It's literally fricking hard lock, you didn't play AC4. It has a toggle lock that works exactly like Souls.
NOW GO FAST AND GO BEHIND AND FLANK THE ENEMY
notice near the end where you boosted near the MT and the camera didn't follow it?
>breaks the second he dashes past the enemy
based moron
>AUTO CONSTANT LOCK ON
Literally existed since AC4, which pre-dates Souls. Nice try moron.
yea no.
Screenshot is from someone who was at SGF, seems like quick turn is manual at least...
looks like something a fridge could run. i'm actually really looking forward to playing it.
Do people actually care about graphics in an armored core game?
nah I'm just fricking around.
You're in luck, fridge-kun
Considering the state of elden ring on release and the fact that the recommended specs are not out I wouldn't be so optimistic
At least the sound design is on point.
hell yeah
ZOE 3
instant buy
This game's might as well be a ZOE game with how weightless the mechs are
>Lightwheight make is fast and nimble
Wait WHAT?!
>being lightweight means you don't need to aim and the game auto turns for you
It's just like my japanese armored core games!
The turning is manual, literal source in this thread.
>daemon ex machina 2
This is no where near as weightless as DxM, and I say that as someone who LIKES DxM.
At least the weapons have some impact in this one

That would have been the one thing that was actually armored core though.

Rapid turn on the ground, snap u-turn in the air (both from previous gens)
>infinite flight
You don't actually know that
>swinging a blade is now flashy and takes up 80% of the screen
Wow it's much cooler than previous gens, how miserable
>emphasis on bouncing around like a moron with boosters
There is literally no generation where you are not constantly in motion with boosters, not even AC1.
on bouncing around like a moron with boosters
Like... literally every single fricking Armored Core game?
You've never played an AC game.
but enough about 4A
>emphasis on bouncing around like a moron with boosters
Who the frick put all this armored core in my armored core game?!?!
Why is talking about any new game here like this
either you're indie or you're goyslop now frick off
NEW BAD
Because ever since 2012 every major release needs to be a tortanic so they can get their ebin dopamine release from posting the funny screencaps on r/Ganker about how they le epic owned a new video game.
Because this place isn't for talking about videogames earnestly, it's basically blue /b/ and if your post isn't porn or trolling it falls on deaf ears, the only way to interact if you want to argue a serious point is to be a bigger autist and out-troll and out-bait everyone.
No it's because liking games is for redditors and children, REAL men shouldn't like games, they should just waste of hours of their lives angrily shitposting about random games that they never played. They should all be buglike hiveminds of anger, devoid of joy or critical thinking, only ZOG approved contrarianism.
Oh, and they should do all of this for free, too.
does this game have invasions
No but it'd be cool if that was an option. It'd actually make sense since your missions have gotten interrupted by enemy ACs since the PS1 games. They could even do it like a bounty system where you get paid by one of the corpos to defend their assets vs a player that's in a mission.
No, arena is the only multiplayer.
yes its basically a reskinned souls game
No it doesn't moron.
The arena is already confirmed to be the only multiplayer.
No but it will probably have a PVP arena
I want AC6 to have invasions like my favorite video game mindjack
>range of movement of AC3
>Weight of AC5
>acceleration akin to AC4
>A pace and style of combat unique to AC6
Seems really promising. I can already imagine how varied builds could get balancing stagger/energy/heat

>Press some dodge button or a chaff button when projectiles come near you.
Yeah I don't get it. Is this fun if you're into mech porn?
Go back to CoD or Fortnite gay. Nobody cares about your shit opinion.
Weapons have different size targeting boxes and many have shit tracking or no homing, can depend on your other parts too
no my idea of fun is space like old armored core
Armoured Core is so fricking back.
We shall be the neglected and abused children of FromSoft no longer.
Now WE are the GOTY.

>Inevitably going to outsell every other mech game in history, stamping itself into the history books and cementing From as gods yet again
It feels good being a From shill. AC2 was my first Fromsoft game, and I've yet to be disappointed since.
As an armored grandpa who loved Elden Ring and is excited as FRICK for AC6, all I have to say is based. See you on the battlefield, ravens.
fat cringes
all I see as a fromdrone is the next souls game is going to be like Anthem using humanoid combat but AC movement
Another soul copy cat but with mechas
YAWN
*puts dick in your mouth*
You fool
You're just feeding the gay what he wants
*shits down your throat*
its literally just dark souls but robots. i hate you all so fricking much
I hate you too
You could always leave.
Let's fricking go.
where are we going?
kek it really is just Armored Souls. why the FRICK is FROM so scared of showing off the fricking HUD? I know numbers and bars scare normies but this is getting ridiculous
Kota is back at least, but the music from the level showed doesnt sound like his old work.
AC has always had occasional Gritty ambient music since AC5, this isn't anything new really. Let's wait and hear the rest of the soundtrack before we complain that FreQuency is gone.
>Armored souls
Cool, all the soul babies will eat it up
>Not armored souls
Cool, all the armored grandpas will eat it up
>A mix between the two
Cool, everyone has something to eat up
Either way, this becomes goty and sells more than any other AC game in history.
There is literally no way you can tortanic-shazam this one Ganker, given by how you've now resorted to try and pit soul babies and armored grandpas against eachother, when in reality both are loving every second of what they are seeing as they are part of the big fromdrone family, nay sayers quite literally cannot do anything but ignore reality and get high on the fumes of their own turds, trying to detract away from the "competition", strashfield being DOGSHIT LMAO.
Stay mad , FROMSOFT DID IT AGAIN.
Blessed post.
I agree with you but I'll play Starfield as well, I'm eating good.
In truth I haven't seen a single doomerpost that seems like it's coming from anybody who has demonstratively played Armored Core before. 99.999% of this inane shitposting is clearly from outsiders who found one thing to repeat ad nauseam in the hopes that it upsets others, but really nothing else concrete.
You're just a Fromsoft pet dog, go sniff their arseholes some more
I will because it makes you so fricking mad hahahaha
After watching the gameplay: This is my GOTY.
this, I preordered as soon as it was up on steam and I never do that shit. From always delivers
Dude I didn't just pre-order it, I shelled out like $200 for the fricking Collector's edition. I NEVER pre-order games and NEVER buy collector goyslop but holy shit, we are fricking back.
What's the point of the legs if you're just zipping around everywhere on jet boosts?
kicking
>doomposters moved here because xvi demo btfo'd em hard.
Can't wait for this ones upcoming demo to do the same.
It's over, AC6, Starfield and FF16 are the only goty contenders.
>Starfield
>goty contender
Lmao not with that gunplay and framerate it isn't. This shit is coming down to AC6 vs FFXVI.
Gunplay was fine, much better than FO4
>footage from 2 years ago
I'm not interested in making a webm of the latest when it's basically the same, enemies can't hit you for shit and they stand still waiting for you to kill them.
Frick off schizo.
>But it's just a demo!
>But it's just the beta!
>But it just released!
>But they'll patch it!
>lies
>get caught
>tries to lie again
🙂
>Shown gameplay.
>"Nuh-uh".
>Claims victory.
moron.
>does it again
>The video proof is a lie!!!!
>NOOOO NOOOO IT WAS 2 YEARS AGO I MEAN 1 YEAR AGO
So it's the same despite being a year/two years in development?Enemies can't hit you for shit and they stand still waiting for you to kill them, being able to run now makes it even more evident.
This footage is from 2 days ago + you aren't even replying to the same person dipshit.
,':)
Looks great.
Seems Starfield and AC6 will fight tooth and nail for the GOTY.
These 2 lads are saving video games, even if you're an ungrateful homosexual.
>AHHHHH WHY ISN'T THIS CASUAL SPACE RPG LIKE A SWEATY CALL OF DUTY LOBBY AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA KOTICK SAVE ME
Not him but you sound like a gay. The gunplay in starfield is trash. There's a difference between "casual" and "dated/boring".
>The gunplay in starfield is trash.
Looks perfectly functional to me, but go ahead and tell me New Vegas plays better like all shitposters desperate for (you)s.
>Using old gameplay
Do better.
>Last year's footage
Keep up, Pajeet.
FO4 gunplay was dogshit. Being better than that isn't an achievement when your gunplay is still shit.
Nah, FO3/NV gunplay was dogshit, especially the animations.
FO4 was actually already decent and weapons had some nice kick.
>FO4 was actually already decent and weapons had some nice kick.
Delusional
Not him, 4 vanilla is above 3 and NV by a fricking landslide. The only people who believe otherwise haven't played vanilla 3/NV in years and only use mods. Your JAM-loaded tittyfest is not the baseline.
I never said 3 or NV are better moron. They're all shit. Fallout has always had trash gunplay. The gunplay is so fricking bad they literally give you an aimbot.
The framerate stuff is a console problem, not mine, I'll build mechs and ships in 4k and no one will stop me.
while I don't think starfield will get GOTY, it will be a dope ass game as soon as someone mods the combat and adds big booba mass effect asaris
Damn this looks like the best mech game I've ever seen. ZoE 2 eat your heart out.
>watch vaati's new video out of morbid curiosity
>he's already seething about people that called him out for saying it will be a Souls-like in the first TEN SECONDS
good, that frick needs to stay in his lane.
he's right though
I just rolled a joint, is this a soulslike?
Forget about it. He's a useful idiot to get the masses to buy Armored Core 6 so we get the redux soon.
He'll forget all about AC anyway when the ER DLC dripfeeds come in and he gets in fast in order to not miss the boat ever since seething that the bloodbornegays ate his lunch
It's nothing like Souls. People are seeing a hard lock-on and calling it Souls. Souls didn't invent hard locks and AC has had them before. There's no i-frames and no invasions.
The lock on is not the problem, the problem is the movement, it doesn't look like Armored Core movement, it looks like Dark Souls movement.
It's AC movment, just not AC:4A insanity speed movement.
how the frick camera decoupled from mech controls is AC movement? are you actually moronic? You literally can spin camera around your mech
>i can jack off to front of my AC now
sacrifices had to be made.
You people are dumb as frick. Decoupling the camera from the AC and adding a hard lock doesn't suddenly make the game a Soulslike. AC needed these things to survive as a modern game. They weren't going to fricking make a classical AC game with everything preserved because classical AC games were clunky (I loved them anyway) and sold like shit as a result. If you expected anything but this you're moronic, and if you're upset this is being done at all you have shit taste.
Nah
Go play mechwarrior if you want a heavy clunky mecha game. AC has always tried to be the speedy responsive contemporary of this class, it just never had the design to properly do it until now.
????I am LITERALLY TALKING about how AC controlled vs how AC6 controls...
you people are moronic
did you even play any AC games?
>did you even play any AC games?
More than you. Chromehounds is the closest From has ever gotten to a simulator experience, never with AC. Travelling at Mach 3 like in 4/FA is literal Gundam territory.
do you fricking think it will feel like piloting mech instead of moving a character like in dark souls? literally WHY when you don't even pilot but just circlestrafing around enemy while hard lock on
think about for a fricking second
it's whole different type of movement and playstyle
It will 100% feel like a souls game
Third person camera already puts out out of your mech, moron. Go play Mechwarrior for real immersion.
WHAT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING TO SAY??????????????
>do you fricking think it will feel like piloting mech
Classic Discord troon talking piece.
AC has never once come close to the sensation of feeling like you're "piloting a mech" nor is it the reason people played AC games. This is akin to saying Virtual On was a deep mecha simulator.
>AC has never once come close to the sensation of feeling like you're "piloting a mech"
It has.
It absolutely has, multiple times, even with the very first game in the series.
Wrong, and you're a homosexual who thinks clunky = mech. You have no understanding of what qualifies as a mech sim even on a casual level like in RAD.
if you could change out the mech and replace it with a little guy wearing a jetpack and not have to change anything else to make that change, then you failed as a mech game.
You could replace anything ever with a little guy wearing a jetpack.
Go. Play. Mechwarrior. Nobody gives a frick what you think. AC6 looks amazing, I will love it, and you will cope and seethe.
I don't want to play fricking MechWarrior I played that and it was boring as frick, I want to play Armored Core damnit
>I want to play Armored Core
No you don't. You want to shitpost because games that are too hard for you keep lapping up those sweet sweet GOTY awards
Stop fricking assuming shit, you don't know me you fricking butthole.
The problem is not the lock, and it's not just the movement, it's a whole lot of things that are very clearly inspired by another franchise that have made their way into this game.
>that meltdown
A little too close to home discord-kun?
>I want to play Armored Core damnit
But this is literally Armored Core.
>NOOOOO IT HAS HARD LOCK
So did AC4.
>NOOOOO ARMORED CORES ARENT SUPPOSED TO TURN THAT FAST
If this is your major argument then you wouldn't have enjoyed the game anyway.
AC4 didn't have hard lock on and for fricking sure it didn't auto spin your mech 180 degrees you fricking IDIOT
It doesn't, the movement is not tied to your camera anymore
You actually have to pay attention to your surroundings now, so I suppose it was done to enable actual level exploration. Seems fair.
>it doesn't look like Armored Core movement
Looks like AC4 movement to me but more responsive and slowed down a bit. Doesn't look anything like Elden Ring or any other soulslike.
turn on AC4 and try walking right while looking left like in the wemb moron
>I just rolled a joint, is this a soulslike?
how many i-frames did it give you?
>morons really want to tell ME to only play one game just because
I'll play AC6, Starfield, FFXVI, Remnant 2 and whatever the frick else I find fun.
>Remnant 2
Fricking based holy shit, imagine not liking videogames this year.
It's funny how people just hate pure FUN here, they should be fricking glad some devs are still willing to make games like those instead of the Ubisoft/Sony movie trash.
I'm going to FRICK an armored core
I'm sure it will still be fun, but...
Man, frick Vaati, I fricking hate that butthole now.
Just hope you can be FASTER and just jump around and boost like a total dumb dumb. Also hope the enemies are more reactive. It looks like it was on easy mode. Melee is sick though. Level design did seem souls though. But I haven't played a underground/isolated AC level in a bit. But it did remind me of nexus shit. And you gays would call Nexus "armored souls" if that came out today. Anyway the smoke, exhaust, and other particle effects are cool and make the game feel alive. Especially the way the enemy mechs react to being shot and melee'd.
FROM did it, they took the best parts of AC and the best parts of DS/sekiro and combined them into liquid sex.
looks easier than the first one, first one was already an easy game,
Looks cool.
>first one was already an easy game
Every AC game is easy and anyone who claims otherwise is a moron. Same goes for Souls.
>hard lock
it's dead jim
>NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST BORROW MECHANICS FROM YOUR OWN GAMES THAT LITERALLY REDEFINED THE ACTION GENRE AND EVERYONE RIPS OFF NOW! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SOULS SOULS SOULS
>Lies of P? Nioh? Now THIS is kino!
Honestly I don't care what you "people" call it as long as you kys. Preordered btw.
>dashing
i still hate modern ac
>REPAIR
>KITS
souls invented healing
honestly I'm not even that annoyed at the repair kits cause they said the levels are longer, that makes sense.
Now i'm worried the levels are longer cause the'll be like dark souls levels
>now I'm worried levels will be above and beyond industry standard
Man I wish I had your worries
You really didn't, cause them you'd be worried that the game you've been expecting for the better part of a decade is going to be a rehash of another franchise.
People who like bad things and hate good things are happier since there are more bad things around than good. The tradeoff is being upset with games like AC6 that show actual promise.
No blue repair kits that restore ammunition, it isn't souls.
Sekiro with robots.
Yeah, I'm thinking kino.
My brother, we just can't stop winning
>THIS IS NOT REAL AC
These are the same pathetic shazam/discord posters that pretend Demon's was the best souls game and that "fromsoft went to shit" and "cazualized the series" even though DeS is the easiest game by far
