This is it, this is mecha gamings moment of truth. FROM is going all in on Armored Core 6, it’s the first time an AC game has gotten main project funding. This game has the chance to start a Revolution in the genre. Imagine if ZOE3 getting resurrected or even a new Front Mission and ChromeHounds. What if MechAssault came back from the hype?
I don’t think a lot of you understand how crazy From Software is for trying something like this, it’s going to be industry changing.

it will be good but it will filter normies rendering the game only getting an 8/10 and be forgotten after 6 months.
Yep, the GameInformer cover story was already super reticent about a bunch of shit. AC6 with do well with a core fanbase but will be completely overshadowed by TotK, FF16 and Starfield when it comes to market appeal.
Those games suck ass
Totk fricking sucks, even ninkiddies are saying it blows.
gay anal fantasy is a garbage movie game trying to ape GoTslop, it's fricking dead on arrival for anyone that isn't a gigantic asshat.
Starfield looks better than these two but only because so far it doesn't seem to be a homosexual soap opera not a soulless copypaste of an already made game, still, ot looks fricking dismal, enemies can't hit you for shit and stand still waiting to be killed.
Anyone with taste and no autistic axe to grind will see armored core is the objectively better game.
A game doesn't need to be a goty best game ever made, gamers ruining games with all this this is better this is mid, Games don't need to be groundbreaking it just need to be fun, gameaward was mistake
Do NOT respond to shazam trannies, the doom posts are all bait.
I proofed that I've played AC before in other thread
What about you fromsoft boy?
I don't care if you've played it or not, frick off back to your discord if you think AC6 is gonna be shit.
if you are unable to accept any criticism whatsoever you should frick off to reddit.
There's a difference between valid criticism and:
>NOOOOOOOO NOT HARD LOCK! IT'S A SOULS GAME! THIS ISN'T AC!! IT'S SHIT!!! SHIT!!!!!!!! LOOK AT HOW FAST IT TURNS THIS ISN'T ARMORED CORE AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
why is it invalid to criticize a game dropping essential mechanics?
A shitty camera and lock box are not "essential". Call me when they frick with the mission-based format or the customization aspects.
They are to me. I am no longer interested
If you will buy anyway, then enjoy dear Soulsborne afficianado.
/thread
I'm not a Souls fan but go off.
I'm not implying that, they are. I'm just parroting their moronation.
Go read the Japanese interview with a dev
Lockbox is still there, along with you being able to lose it like the older games. The AC doesn't magically turn when locked like in dark souls
Wait until the actual normal gameplay vids are up
>asking anon to use his eyes
And miss the chance to be a spastic hyperbolic drama queen? As if!
>when locked
>when locked
>when locked
>implying dark souls invented lock-on circle strafing
Bloodborne is my favorite Ocarina-like.
youre moronic and spamming this botted pic is pathetic
>only choices are 100%, 0% or negative 100%
Where's the sort of choices like "eh, kinda interested" or "not really interested but probably will play once it's on sale for $5"?
>This is it, this is mecha gamings moment of truth.
a quick human in a jetpack isn't mecha
last I recall humans only have two legs and normal shoulders
And, you know, hands.
You guys have only 2 legs and hands?

>ChromeHounds
>MechAssault
Interesting observation I made, every time modern From Software fan talks about expectations from Armored Core 6, they bring up every game imaginable except for Armored Core.
You are a homosexual and are obssesed with having some pointless GOTCHA moment. The purpose of mentioning those games wasn’t to compare to Armored Core. That’s Reddit behavior, stop.
I don't know what are you talking about, I never had an account on reddit and if you go check AC reddit right now you'll see the endless circlejerck of people praising AC6 and talking about how tired they are of vocal minority who unsatisfied with changes.
AC6 will be a great game it just won't be Armored Core. If you find some kind of joy in laughing at people who lost chance to play the game of their favorite series after 10 years of wait, you can type me another mean message. OG AC fans are pretty rare, so don't lose your chance.
That’s dumb because every numbered AC game has pretty radically shifted the gameplay.
AC1 plays NOTHING like AC2.
Same with 3, same with 4.
Same with 5.
>AC1 plays NOTHING like AC2.
its this rampant disengenuousness and lying why talking about AC has been made impossible online.
You homosexuals all trying to 1-up eachother in "whut u kno" and "whut u playd" is pathetic. It's clear that none of you have actually PLAYED any of these games you try to act like authority over.
Armored Core already massively changed twice. In a perfect world I'd have loved a game in the style of AC1 - Last Raven, but that has been a lost cause since AC4.
AC1 to Last Raven are all incremental updates. I dunno how the hell anyone would conclude AC1 was nothing like AC2.
No they all fundamentally play differently in terms of speed, options, parts, customization, combat style and mechanics.
Lmfao AC3 is a near copy of AC3. Please name these mechanic changes.
(me)
I meant AC3 is a near copy of AC2
As an apology for my atrocious error, I'll give you one for free
>flamethrowers can be used in the left hand rather than the right hand
This is the Reddit behavior I’m talking about, you literally admit I was correct but demanded to have some homosexual argument.
>they all fundamentally play differently in terms of speed, options, parts, customization, combat style and mechanics.
>flamethrowers can be used in the left hand rather than the right hand
>hur hur see i was right
THAT'S NOT A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN GAMEPLAY YOU ACTUAL TEENAGER. THAT'S AN IMPORTANT ADDITION TO AN ALREADY ESTABLISHED GAMEPLAY SYSTEM. YOU ARE SO STUPID. AND YOU THINK YOU'RE NOT THAT'S THE WORST PART. GOING FROM COUNTER STRIKE TO JETPACK JOYRIDE, THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. CHANGING THE BASIC MECHANICS OF HOW A GAME IS CONTROLLED, THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE. MAKING IT SO YOU CAN FIRE 2 GUNS AT ONCE ISN'T A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE TO GAMEPLAY. IT MEANT YOU HOLD 2 BUTTONS AT ONCE WHEN FIRING, THAT'S ALL IT DID AS A CHANGE. AND YOU THINK THAT'S IN ANY WAY COMPARABLE TO SOMETHING LIKE WHAT AC6 IS DOING. YOU LITERAL. GENUINE. SINCERE. UNDERAGE. INEXPERIENCED. SOULSBAB. INVALIDS.
It's legitimately astonishing how thread after thread you go with these autism fests over a camera lock you have no experience with. When this game drops and all of this incessant whining is proven to be useless, do you think you'll trend closer to suicide or just resign yourself to having wasted many days of your life crying about a promotional video?
>over a camera lock you have no experience with
it's astonishing how people like you have no memory or pattern recognition. I bet you buy AAA ubisoft and movie games.
Anon I am an OG AC fan, I started with fricking AC2 back in the day and have played every game in the series MANY times.
>it just won't be Armored Core.
And to this I strongly disagree.
Ok, I'll bite and just ask one simple question: Do you think different leg parts should have different turning speed?
>Do you think different leg parts should have different turning speed?
In games where turning speed exists as a mechanic, yes of course. I do not think turning speed as a mechanic is required though, there are other ways they could give each of the legs a standout niche.
>This is it, this is mecha gamings moment of truth. FROM is going all in on Armored Core 6, it’s the first time an AC game has gotten main project funding. This game has the chance to start a Revolution in the genre. Imagine if Armored Core 7 getting resurrected or even a new Armored Core 8 and Armored Core 9. What if Armored Core 10 came back from the hype?
there, I fixed OPs post for your needs
If the point is that a game could possibly revive an entire genre, yes you would mention other games besides the series in question. You're a fricking idiot.
>FromSoftware's Armored Core 6 director, Hidetaka Miyazaki, will not have the same level of involvement in the game's development.
>Miyazaki has provided the basic concept for Armored Core 6 to Masaru Yamamura, the lead designer of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
So Sekiro lead designer is AC6 director. I understand Miyazaki decision though. No point in directing a game he can't show ladies with exposed feet.
>No point in directing a game he can't show ladies with exposed feet
Why not?
wait, so naotoshi zin and toshifumi nabeshima have nothing to do with AC6?
AC6 will outsell the entire franchise.
I want Chromehounds back so fricking bad
It looks too diferent now this game to its previous entries. Now is Elden Ring with mechs.
AC should have kept its combat but copied the great world design from souls/elden ring.
But instead they copied the souls combat and have the same missions. Fraudulent joke of a game.
How does FROM keep doing it? They are so far ahead of the industry
Be honest do you think Steel Battalion will get another shot if this succeeds? would mecha come back?
>Be honest do you think Steel Battalion will get another shot if this succeeds?
No
>would mecha come back?
We will get a bunch of shitty devs trying to make copies of AC, similar to what happened with "soulslike"
I hope so
>instantaneous turns
>no fixed camera
No thanks, I'll just play AC3 with my buddies.
I don't care about contrarian homosexuals. I think it looks fun. I'm buying it. If that makes a schizo or two mad, even better.
This, the absolute assblast of these doomposter Black folk when the game comes out and blows them the frick out will be incredible.
Game looks fun as frick. My only concern is the soundtrack at this point.
Hoshino is confirmed to be working on the game along with the rest of FreQuency
>Hoshino is confirmed to be working on the game
confirmed where, homosexual?
Black person, if you actually listen to the music from the boss fight music you can hear Hoshino's sound. It's unmistakable.
Rest assured it will be great, if the trailers and old entries are anything to go by the music is guaranteed to be a blast.
It has to be FreQuency
Change gaming like souls? Can you name any non vaporware that copied souls?
This is cope.
Cope from what?
The road to reality. Mecha is never going to be a huge thing.
nice job proving you have no idea what the word cope means, hence my response.
>more soulsslop
The game will be changed forever
Easiest GOTY ever, not like it had much competition though. I hope the online has some sort of ranked mode like in VD.
Starfield or Zelda is going to take it this year
>Starfield
Garbage but believable
>Zelda
Hhahahaahhaahhaahhahahahaha
The nominations are going to be TotK, FF16 and Starfield.
Quote me on that.
>that punt into the distance
honestly gives me godhand vibes, and that puts a smile on my face.
It's not happening
Starfield has the Bethesda normalgay YOU CAN SNEED ANYTHING bonus
Zelda has the nintendie diehard and zelda bonus
I like how people say there's no weight when you can clearly get a sense from the animations, to the slow down, build up and so on. Looks like weight is more authentic here than AC4
There's not enough autistic hard surface 3D artists out there for proper mecha Renaissance in current era of overdetailed assets, but man can dream
>I want my mechas to look like my heckin toys
frick off
Zelda bad
FromSlop bad
Starfield good
simple at that
go back to your containment threads bethesdajeet
snoy, tendie or mad at 30fps, who truly knows?
No matter how much AC6 apes off soulsslop, it will be a million times better than any bethesda jank walking simulator.
they're still obviously keeping the autistic UI hidden in previews so normalgays don't bail until they've paid
It's going to get shat on because mecha is niche. It will be a great game but will change nothing.
behead souls games consumers
Shoot soulsgays into the sun
Probably not.
I do hope it keeps ammo/repair costs leaving you with a negative reward to properly filter out all the secondaries though.
I'm an armored core elitist and gatekeeper ask me anything
Why do you want to frick robots?
Show your games.
What legs do you use
What's your favorite build?
>anons says AMA
>gets asked four questions
>proceeds to not answer anything
based
Even when shitposting, they can't answer because they're bandwagoners who have never actually played an AC game.
An odd comparison. Ape Escape had quite an unusual control scheme compared to other video games. It worked, but my gamer brain had to adapt to it.
are you aware that gatekeeping does literally nothing?
>I'm an armored core elitist and gatekeeper ask me anything
Do you think For Answer is good or bad?
I will judge you on your answer.
Not him but it’s definitely one of the high points of the series, 2nd best AC to Silent Line, better than VD which I consider #3.
fromdrones are delusional
Man, don't overhype shit. Has nobody paid attention to the last decade? Play the game first, THEN decide if it's good.
Is there any fanbase more delusional than Fromdrones? 90% of you bandwagoning secondary homosexuals never even so much as thought about AC before your slop meister decides to make Armored Souls.
I hate Souls shit, have been a fan of AC since the early PS2 days, and am excited as frick for AC6. Kiss my ass.
Is that a MOTHERFRICKING dark souls reference???
I can hear the footsteps.
I do love fromsoft games
No I haven’t played a single armored core
Yes I will be buying armored core 6
Mechashit will never catch on
Imagine being a tankgay
>repair kits confirmed not estus at all
>repair costs confirmed
Soulsgays in shambles
That's good. Where's this interview hosted?
Game informer article
Repair kits are worse than estus, they're *instant*.
How is that bad?
No skill required since you can just use them whenever.
AC also doesn't have i-frames so I call that a fair trade.
Yeah fair enough.
I understand that whether it's a good thing or bad is contextual, but without the context I'd argue that it's a strictly worse mechanic just due to the lower skill ceiling, is all.
It lowers the skill floor, not the skill ceiling. If it affects your mission rank/income etc then the best players won't use it, it doesn't affect them at all.
That said, I don't really like it either. Magical instant repairs don't feel very mecha-like.
>Magical instant repairs don't feel very mecha-like.
NANOMACHINES, SON.
>It lowers the skill floor, not the skill ceiling.
Oh, yes, that's what I meant. You're right it won't matter at high skills levels.
Yeah, I get that, it'll all come down to how From balance encounters.
You can have skill in other parts of gameplay is my point. I'll use Ninja Gaiden as my example. Healing is instant but that's okay because the game is designed with really aggressive enemies and it needs to be that way. If you stood in place and tried to do a Monster Hunter tier sip and flex the game would just not work. Now I'm not saying AC6 will have enemies that are as aggressive as Ninja Gaiden but from the trailer and interviews I still think it'll be fine. Taking damage will still cost credits and lower your score so even if you can heal that back, you'll get a worse score than you could have. You won't have to wait for the right opportunity to heal if it's instant but the decision on whether to use it or not is still there.
You only get three though and it hurts your mission rank. Healing can be done a lot of different ways, I would assume the game is designed with instant healing in mind. Some of the most brutal action games have instant healing for example and they still require tons of skill. I'm not worried about it at all.
>No skill required since you can just use them whenever.
Would you prefer to back up and wait to heal in an AC game
Seems like they're balancing it as an "easy mode" like old character action games like DMC3. You may finish a mission using all repairs, but then you barely get any money and your score suffers.
I hope this means way longer and expansive levels.
It's already confirmed that missions can take upwards of a half hour.
It seems to be the case already, they even talked about how there's multiple routes or something for different types of mech which i'm fine with.
Results screen of people using repair kits and resupply drops be like
"I didnt know mega bazooka rounds were expensive!"
God I cant wait for game journos to experience their first AC expense report, even if they're gonna nerf it this time
It will be good but it will be the Demon's Souls of Armored Core, AC7 will be the true masterpiece
It will be better than Deracine.
Guaranteed
Post the entire magazine festure you fricks.
It's funny how moronic homosexuals are like "I'm a real, hardcore AC and mecha fan. Here is my opinion." as if anyone gives a frick
no one gave a frick about armored core until a month ago.
where is the new GI info?
https://gameinformer.mydigitalpublication.com/
There isn't much new tbh.
I got filtered by the first game's controls. I couldn't get used to them, I think I might try playing the first one with the keyboard only DOOM controls.
WASD for movement, and arrows for camera controls. CTRL will be shoot, space is boost, then q is weapon swap and e is use/blade.
I think that'll work a lot better or I could just skip towards the first game that utilizes analog sticks.
Despite my teeny tiny amount of playtime I do understand people's criticisms though, I kind of like the lock on box so that you have to actually aim a bit. I don't think it was a good move to add in a hard lock-on. I wouldn't mind the turning speeds being sped up a bit, so far in AC1 I don't like how the enemy I'm shooting at winds up just right at the edge of my screen and barely visible.
If you're really struggling with the controls you can install a mouse injector. Be warned it makes the game much easier, almost trivial. https://youtu.be/lkGKWwSyf7U
>LE HARDEST GAME OF THE SERIES!!!!
>This made boomers shit their pants
I'm officially an armored core veteran. I declare AC6 a definitive improvement.
Never played an AC game before but i kinda dig the lock box HUD thing. Like something a mecha UI looks like for targeting and shit
impressive anon, very nice
now show us your Toothpick win
>Run out of ammo
>circle me like a spastic

> beat the 27th rank AI opponent and starts to run his mouth
SHIT EASEY GAME YOU ARE A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRR
record your first encounter with the #1 ranker in the VR arena please
I predict:
>AC fans will like it and rate it highly
>soulsgays will soigasm because their favorite youtuber said it's a soulslike
>normalgays will hate it
>standard reviewbombs from console warriors mad it's not an exclusive
>critics will give it a fromsoft bonus but a mecha malus
>user score: 68 at the beginning rising to 82 over time
>critic score: 76
>shazamgay field day despite those kinds of scores being the standard for AC
>standard reviewbombs from console warriors mad it's not an exclusive
They actually do this? Why would someone be mad about other people playing the same game on another platform?
>normalgays will hate it
you people said the same for elden ring and they loved it
it's gonna be above 90 in ratings easily
>it's gonna be above 90 in ratings easily
I wouldn't go that far. Probably high 80s to low 90s at most, something like 87-89 score realistically. Regardless of them putting some elements from Souls into the game, critics or even most people are still feeling off with Armored Core in general.
mecha is poison to normalgays
anyone that said normalgays would hate elden ring was a gigamoron
>dark souls and sequels/spinoffs got meme'd in gamer culture for a decade
>GRRM throwing his name on it
>fully open world RPG, and all the buzz around it being the first Fromsoft fully open world RPG
money printing recipe right there
>mecha is poison to normalgays
so was "le tryhard harcore game" souls are seen as to the mainstream public
>anyone that said normalgays would hate elden ring was a gigamoron
easy to say after it has happened
fromsoft only showed 2:48 of trailer and 7:26 of gameplay and it's already #13 of wishlist numbers on steam, it's already a success
nta but "super hardcore games" were never seen in a negative light by normalgays at any point ever. Souls games are not hard for a normalgay to digest. It's a 3rd person fantasy adventure. You swing a sword and dodge attacks. Even if you never played video games you could understand what you're seeing on screen. The difficulty is secondary.
Compare that to AC4 gameplay. Vaguely humanoid robot zooms around the screen and fires missles and guns at some speck in the distance highlighted with a HUD resembling a fighter jet. If it takes you more than a second to understand what's happening as a newcomer, then it doesn't have mass-appeal. And it never will.
>"super hardcore games" were never seen in a negative light by normalgays
why do you lie just to make a point
>Souls games are not hard for a normalgay to digest
there was a huge amount of people lost at what stat to level up in elden ring or confused by all the items
mecha is seen as a niche, that's right it is, now in the recent years a lot of niches have become mainstream, souls are an exemple, monster hunter is an exemple
nta but souls game is only niche because its seen as difficult game but in genre its very mainstream, ive seen more streamers and normies giving the game a pass because its mecha and although streamers arent representative to the gaming sphere, thousands of voices seems like a better sample size compare 30 people in Ganker threads.
Reddit literally cried for a month after Elden Ring came out because MUH ACCESSIBILITY.
>dark souls with mechs
It's going to be forgotten in a week
Just like elden ring right?
>dozens of videos calling it a soulslike
>vaatividya stealing lore and making insufferable videos over and over
>people posting that if you used X weapon or build you didn't beat the game
armored core 6 was dead before it even released
They completely backtracked on calling it a soulslike. They settled for le soulslike elements
I don't care, I hate that Souls secondaries are going to pretend like they are experts on this franchise, frick Miyazaki and FROMSOFT
It's kinda their fault for inviting those vultures into their showcase. They don't care about anything but their bottomline and they certainly don't care for anything FromSoft other than their Souls games.
>asscore
>mechassault
Yeah, fromdrones are moronic.
Horrible thread by the way.
Isn't it just a third person shooter with jetpacks reskinned as a mecha game, how will this even change gaming forever?
So it's not far up it's ass with muh immersion? Sold
I'm talking to OP about his idea of the game changing gaming forever, not about immersion
that's like saying zelda is just a guy with a sword
a bit reductive isn't it
Don't you have like 4 threads for Nintenzeldies already
> I prefer zoids
That comment just confused the frick out of me, Armored Core has never even came anywhere close to Zoids ever. Wanted to slap the shit out of that kid.
i thought elden ring caused asshurt, this is truly another level
>Imagine if ZOE3 getting resurrected or even a new Front Mission
It's possible that some developers of those games are monitoring the game. If it succeed, they could convince their publishers that mecha game is a viable product now and could attract customers.
theres too many good games coming at the end of summer i wont be able to manage: AC6, Baldurs gate 3, and starfield jesus frick
>I don’t think a lot of you understand how crazy From Software is for trying something like this,
lol what? They were formerly the Armored Core company before they were the Souls company. They pumped this shit out on the cheap in mass quantities for years. Seems many within the company have a soft spot for AC as well.
Nah.
Gaming has already made its significant changes over a decade ago.
Now it's just copying others the best and increasing the scale.
I like what I saw so far but it needs to be faster, ACFA levels of fast would be nice.
I'm also not liking the AC5 style toggle boosting, but if the levels will be bigger and more vertical like the demo showed I can live with it.
AC4/FA were my favorite but that level of speed really necessitated most levels just being featureless flat expanses.
They can settle for a middle ground between AC4 and FA to necessitate the busier levels, that's what I'm thinking they'll go for which should be fine but the latest trailer was a bit too slow for my tastes still. We'll see.
Frick that noise, go play ZoE if you want that shit. AC6s speed looks perfect.
AC + ZoE sounds like a great combination
Thats what AC6 actually is. The camera system and the soft/hard lock on described is pretty damn close to ZoE’s already.
The devs actually talked about ZoE being their main inspiration for the game. No surprise there.
No they didn't.
>be announced a new ac after 10 years of waiting
>excitement
>its dark souls
>grief
>PSYCHE its actually Z.O.E.(?)
>be announced a new zoe after 10 years of waiting(?)
>excitement?
So did we get any confirmation on how the hard lockon works?
How sticky is it and do you need to manually lock on again if a particularly fast enemy can frick it up?
Fromslopgays delusional as ever.
