If it maybe means From revisiting other old series of theirs I'm all for it. I hope it is a roaring success. Give me another Shadow Tower you bastards.
Vatti literally one of the biggest souls tubers played every single armored core game and said they are nothing like souls. Except in the spirit of being difficult but mostly fair.
You must watch shitty content.
vaati says it seemed souls inspired and he was right but how much it is souls inspired is up to debate.
They added healing flasks and checkpoints similar to souls. Also movement of certain mechs is as precise as souls movement.
No one really cares about any of this except autists though.
>checkpoints sinilar to souls
They're checkpoints from every other mission based single player game in existence. You get to one and the game autosaves and if you die you can restart from the beginning or the checkpoint. Is CoD 4 a soulslike now because of checkpoints?
>he was right but how much it is souls inspired is up to debate
Massive fricking cope. Here's the problem. What "souls inspired" can mean literally fricking anything depending on what someone is.
See him basically saying that the devs were wrong in saying that. Obvious answer here is they didn't consider these souls mechanics.
If souls legitimately didn't exist as a series, I would see them putting in bosses with more telegraphed attacks as a natural evolution from what you already see in the gaming landscape without souls.
From absolutely did the right thing to try to temper people's expectations so they didn't immediately say "wtf this isn't dark souls" and riot. From has built up a lot of trust and say that this is armored souls just to drum up hype would jeopardize that. People seem to like the gameplay so far and we've only seen chapter one.
Souls-like to me means having long ass i-frames to compensate for the lack of strategy when facing against a difficult boss fight.
Answer me this, did Elden Ring reinvent checkpoints again with Stakes of Marika?
I'm glad new players will experience Armored Core, good for them.
You can't do that.
Never played an AC game. Look interesting from a gameplay standpoint. A lot of customization options. Hoping a melee build is possible, but if not I'll figure out a close range gun build.
Melee weapons are left arm only. But if you're truly devoted you can equip nothing on the right side and rely on punching with your right arm.
I can't tell if you're joking or if they recycled code from their previous games to the point where having nothing in your right hand unlocks a punching animation
Why would giving you a fallback if you've purged all your weapons be indicative of recycled code?
Because if you have no weapon in your right hand in any of the Souls games, right bumper makes you punch
?t=241
you can see here he runs out of ammo for his right arm gun and discards it, allowing him to punch
?t=1020
punching seems to do little ap damage but high impact damage, so it might actually be viable provided you have a weapon that can capitalize on stagger
also chainsaws are indeed in
Excellent. I'm hoping for a claw or a chainsaw blade, if they have it.
There were blade arms in the older games.
I'm hoping they have them here too.
Because I want to have chainsaw arms.
Like really, really badly.
Ogura-san confirmed no blade arms. Also no expansion is planned yet so if you want them you better hope this sells gangbusters.
Melee only builds have always been possible in the majority of the games in the franchise, in this one it seems you can only have melee weapons on your left (like in some past games) BUT, you can kick, and if you don't have a gun in your right, you can throw punches, so full melee is in fact still 'possible' and by running storage units (swapable weapons) instead of shoulder mounted weapons you can carry 2 different melee weapons in your left side and one gun on your right side to not be completely rangeless when not punching.
See this video, the guy is running storage instead of fixed guns on his shoulders, and he swaps between a sword and a gun on his left.
Can you kick if you're using tank legs? Never seen anyone do it
You don't kick, you ram yourself into enemies instead
must stay loyal to humanoid legs
must stay loyal to humanoid legs
This is the best argument in favor of tankgays so far.
Tank's "kick" is just a full-on ram.

>cultist so buttravaged he looks through the archive to justify ignoring it
Not making your case look better.
For me it looks like they became more of Ace Combat, but mecha than souls. And im kinda digging it.
Depends on how detailed and soulful the briefings and the mission dialogues are.
Ace Combat has always been mechs but with planes. But AC has always had the boot up mission briefing overviews. They just have money for more voice overs now.
Crisp white sheets.
It's going to be an Armored Core mod for Elden Ring. Don't kid yourself. There's going to be a shitstorm if it isn't.

ACK
Notice that the souls comparisons from grifters suddenly commited mass suicide with the new gameplay footage
Elden Ring has 165 bosses
Thoughts on my Core??
armored
You have the Karasawa, you'll be fine
Emblemless garbage
As long as there are no useless EM fields needlessly screwing with targeting everywhere, and most of the weapons are viable, then I'd buy after a few days of cautious waiting. Not getting fooled into preordering.
Does anyone have the "Overweight" America themed AC screenshot? It's a huge AC colored red, white and blue
I’ve never played a core game but I’m a fan of from and assume it will be high quality. That part in the gameplay reveal where you are taking down the giant walker and dodging lasers and rockets while flying forward it was really sick looking
Huh, I thought it would've been insurmountable beating this using tank legs, turns out I was wrong.
The fact that you can walk up to Balteus face-to-face and use that AC4A PA burst to completely destroy all his missiles is awesome
Never played a souls game
Never played a AC game
Going to play AC6 and enjoy it
How are the PS3 Armored Core games? I have the ones on PSP
4 is eh, for Answer is great, didn't play V, Verdict Day was okay.
Thanks anon
Keep in mind that V and Verdict Day were very multiplayer focused. It's not as bad in VD, but you can still feel that a lot of things were designed around co-op and online play.
The frick is even the point of legs if you just hover and dash around like Dante?
Post what you're gonna make
>AC Name- WHAT DOTH LIFE
>Reverse leg ultralight with a blade in left hand and long rifle in right
>Mostly brown color scheme with green blade
Gonna make my build from last raven
AC name:blackout
lightweight biped with a machinegun on r. arm and either a linear or energy rifle on the l
arm.
gonna mount a vertical missile and probably an equivalent to micro missiles on the other
Gonna paint my AC black with a red r. arm and make it look like it's weathered a bit to signify im an old AC gay
Culius Jaesar
heavy bipeds
full firepower with a pilebunker
>mech game
>no feeling of weight or mech movement
I'll pass but it looks like a nice superhero game
"Weight" killed mech shit in the west, nobody wants to be a slow cumbersome piece of shit that is clunkier than a car yet is supposed to be the ultimate and best weapon available.
Armored cores are the formula 1's of mechs and you are a moron for not understanding it.
Mech movement is and always has been present in armored core too, now go shitpost another thread, gay.
When these mechs boost and touch the ground, there could ar least be some impact, no? And they turn at a wim when walking. The details ain't there
>le impact le turn
You are either blind or moronic, 2/10 bait, made me post a youtube video
>clunkier than a car
specifically garbage cars.
Weight doesn't mean clumsiness, it means that it actually seems to make an impact. Solid sound design alone can go a long way, let alone animation.
Don't care I'm gonna laugh my ass off when it sells spectacularly because of this shit and the ensuing shitstorm that follows
>guy who spams "AC was never good!!!" and posts metacritic scores as if they were indicative of anything other than the game's marketing budget
>guy who derails every thread by sperging about "muh weight!"
Star Wars was a mistake. It has ruined mecha since Return of the Jedi.
How so
Every single western mech gay, even the ones that steal designs from Japan, eventually turn all their shit into the star wars chicken walkers, spiders, and death troopers.
>Ganker is now unironically calling AC6 a movie game
Who pissed in this board's cheerios?
>Ctrl+f "movie"
>Literally only your post
You pulled this shit on /m/ too.
Because every other thread is calling the game a movie game. Is it angry console fanboys?
it's a Pavlovian response
people are excited for a thing > immediately starts a schizo hate campaign
I think I'd prefer if you just picked predefined robots and didn't actually build them yourself and it played some catchy briefing music on the robot select screen https://youtu.be/-HBirxcIHCg
The first good Armored Core.
1:1 me
They didn't realize that every Souls Game was actually built from Armored Core...
So is this gonna be more like 4/4A or the absolute slog that 5 was?
They kept 3 damage types but it doesn't work like V where bullets would hit like nerf darts if you had over a certain defense threshold in that category. scales more like shell and energy defense in the old games but now with explosive as a third type of damage. It doesn't look like a clunky grungefest like 5th gen though. Maybe more like 3rd gen but with a new combat system.
It looks nothing like 3rd gen
The lock on mechanics for AC4 is so fricking bad makes me want to drop the game
4 was such a low point it put me off trying 4a when it was released. I regret it since 4a is actually a big improvement.
> mostly reasonable, well-adjusted replies
> on Ganker
We truly are witnessing the endtimes
So are you supposed to just boost and spam weapons? or am i missing something
Please God let it filter the women, homosexuals, & non-whites...Amen
AC has always been a black man's game moron.
that trick doesn't work anymore rabbi
it's overused
amen brother

Movement wise, do quads walk and run like spiders, with the scary insect like crawling? It's very important.
ok which one are you?
fricked by or killed by a spider?
