Back when I started, I was a total fucking noob. I used Codebreaker to hack infinite life. I absolutely sucked. Then a few years later I started from the first Armored Core game and worked my way up. Now I never lose a mission, and LOVE every ounce of difficulty the series offers.
White Glint has to be one of the coolest looking mechs Ive ever seen, Spirit of Motherwill(the giant aircraft carrier/battleship) is awesome too. Just like one of the best opening movies Ive ever seen.
This comment is right. Anatolia's Raven is the one piloting White Glint in For Answer. Joshua O'Brien is the Pilot of White Glint in AC4. Fiona Jarnefeldt is the Operator for White Glint. Think of a Spy's handler, and you won't be far wrong.
it takes place ten years after the events in ac4.the pilot of white glint is the one we played in ac4 and fiona,the woman we took orders from, is glints mission operator.
2:12-2:15 -- He fired 1 missile, but 2 missiles flew by? 2:20- What was that??????? 3:00- At first, I thought he was undergoing an emergency cooling phase. I thought those were external radiators or something. 3:06- YET ANOTHER AWESOME MOMENT!!!
As far as I remember, the mercenary AC pilots in the earlier AC games grouped up to an independent and called themselves "Ravens". Apparently they don't exist anymore, but Collard seems to function pretty much the same. They call themselves now "Lynx", I don't understand why, though, since I missed playing some of the AC games.
Armored core was part of an exposition in Rotterdam regarding manga and mecha. pretty sweet seeying all kinds of artwork from this game. they even had the miniture models. I
That's the manga. All characters in the games are veterans of war, or hardened mercenaries, meaning they are at least mid 20's or older. There is the caveat that we never see them in person, but that helps in some ways as well.
Love this game to this day. As far as any mecha game out there goes. Armored Core 4 and For Answer are still probably the best two mecha games out there to date. I've played plenty that have come close, but there is just something about these games that lets them hold up far longer than any other Mecha game I've played. I can still pick it up and enjoy it even to this day. Never mind I am still proud as can be about my blade model the Crimson Fang. I was even able to beat Occupation of Arteria Carpals on hard mode with that thing. Ah I miss the days I could cut my enemies down with the Dragonslayers and rule the PVP arenas. If I couldn't get up close to kill em. I wait for them to run out of ammo. If I do get close? Hehe.... Game over for anyone that gets caught in that onslaught.
You also gain a lot more versatility with a humanoid weapon that you don't have in vehicle types. You can stop any modern tank just by making a large enough mud pit, or throwing down a few pieces of industrial I-Beam welded together. Bipedal designs allow you to "walk over" these obstacles. As for weapons, the further technology advances, the lighter and stronger materials are going to get. It isn't like everything is always going to be made out of heavy metals.
Fiona is the operator of white glint, not its pilot. The pilot is the main character (you) from armored core 4. Check out the armored core wiki entry for "operators" for more information.
The White Glint's first pilot was Joshua O'Brian in AC:4 in a mission anatolia's merc kills him and that merc takes it after was redesigned into the White Glint in AC: For Answer .
I have the White Glint parts, did a little tinkering, and found that if speed is your thing, it is possible to build a next with infinite Overboost. Maybe not practical from a weapon loadout pov, but fun to fool around with.
There is plenty of room for Code Geass, Gundam, Robotech, Gurren Lagann, Armored Core and all the other mecha out there. Why people pick the silliest things to argue about I don't know. To each their own, all of the mecha designs from each of the universes I listed fits for that series and generally look pretty damn awesome!
ok here we go:cluster missile system,thing on its back is the vanguard overboost system(round things are fuel pods),external radiators are kojima partical generators for offensive or deffensive attacks,is piolt unknown not joshua or new female piolt like people think.the mission op. is female. hope this helps some.^.^
ok. 3:00 was awesome anyway. I LOVE the way his eye shield covers up!! :50- AC always has the BEST CG graphics!!! The only games that could stand against them are the Gran Turismo games, Final Fantasy CG, and Namco's Ridge Racer CG scenes. But AC is the best for the simple fact that they actually make stuff break, and blow up!! 1:38- What were those?? 1:48- SOOOO AWESOME!!!! 2:07- That pod thing had some liquid come from it. Maybe Timebomb was right. 2:08- Sound barrier???!!!
Armored Core for Answer is essentially Armored Core 4, but with giant 1000 meter high, 10 mile long Arms Forts you must destroy. For Answer also has a more depth customization system and ranking system.
You can use two at a time, and if you alternate using them, you can almost get to an overboost-like speed: Very helpful if you can't get decent boosters.
@Nanovirus5995 1. Kojima reactors. Basically the futures version of a highly toxic, extremely powerful energy generator. 2.Assualt armour. Basically a massive explosion of Kojima particles that deals Heavy damage to anything without Primal armour (shields).and removes both yours and who ever it hits, primal armour.
I miss this game so much. I almost wish fromsoft hadn't gotten so famous because we won't see another armored core...........How I wish they would give us one with all that new talent and money.....
It's called A/A or Armor Assault, I believe it's more of an all out Energy attack that takes your primal armor shield, energizes it and rapidly expands it in one burst for a few seconds dealing massive surrounding damage......well that's my theory anyway.
1. The second missile had about a second of following distance. That leaves just enough time for the second missile to be launched when off camera. 2. I believe that was another fuel pod. 3. Well I'm sure you know this by now, but I think that was the "assault armor". Whether or not White Glint has that in-game, I do not know. I don't have the AC4. 4. Seconded.
{more discriptive explanation} through the second run of the story beat the defend line ark mission then you'll get the white glint parts. then you'll need to beat the white glint order match to get the white glint schematics.Note:to do the white glint order match go to free play go over to order matches then go trough the order mathes to rank 9.hope this helps people looking for the white glint stuff
@Syfa The real issue with this is actually big size being easier to detect,, the idea of a giantic robot works only on fiction because it looks amazing, but in practice even if we have the tech to build something like that we wouldn't. The military wants powerful difficult to detect and small weapons, in fact, the soldiers and armor of the future might be microscopic, so bet your money on micro tech rather that mech.
@Syfa actually nuclear power would be perfectly plausible for something like this, the real problem is preventing a catastrophic core meltdown once the mech becomes severely damaged :P
not sure who was complaining. if you were speaking to me, i was just giving a overview of the opinions. i love armored core and chromehounds for the different games they are. so please read and think.
There is an upper limit on size though. Anything past about 25-30 feet tall and you're pretty much riding in a "missile magnet." The only way to avoid that problem is a really good interceptor system, or active external defenses (a-la "Primal Armor")
This was the last game I actually beat but then was so easy...I stopoped after this one, I bought the next one but it was just an online only version of this series and just couldn't get into them. For me the series long ago after the 3rd game they lost what made this so much fun for me.
yeah im sure. joshua o'brian was glints pilot but he dies from the stress of piloting glint and the last battle. remember at the end the guy said that fiona and the pilot lefted but that was another story. thats wat this is.
@luisdez81 AC doesn't need aerodynamics btw...It doesn't 'fly' like an aircraft. It doesn't need to go forward first before it can turn lol. That poor raptor does. :9
her names "Fiona jardefelt"by the way the AC is white glint line arks main weapon/asset shes also one of the first 4 from the beginning of the great war on anatolia and the last survivor,oh yes did i mention she destroyed anatolia single handedly (unless u help her in amored core 4)because her allies were afraid and almost certain itd mean death just sayin XD
@Syfa Nothing about an Armored Core (like White Glint) violates basic physics. If you want to argue that a large (30ft to 50ft) is impractical and won't be used because of practicality or economics, that's a totally different argument. I personally feel (and have said before on this vid) that a 50ft tall, fusion-powered, artificial-muscle-utilizing mecha would be an extremely powerful weapon in ANY environment.
nope, that is the activation of the assault generator. the assault generator uses your PA as and explosive weapon, but once used your Pa is gone until recharge.
AC4/FA are the limit that From was willing to go with speed. AC has traditionally been more about plodding and controlled boosts than flight. I'm not sure what direction they will take after V and Verdict Day, but I personally hope they go back to the style of the PSX days which had high speed boosting while not enabling easy perma-flight.
I beleive thats the Primal Armor being activated. Works kinda like a barrier that cuts damage from most weapons. Like Minvoski particles from gundam, if you know what those are.
After years of searching I finally found a relatively cheap used copy of For Answer and I am so happy!
+Jace the Fox I bought a pre-owned 360 copy for 89 cent today
+Lennart Jacob nice!
Glint, you sexy AC..
The first 3 minutes must be the most amazing mecha video ever made, AC openings own any Transformers moments any day of the week
Armored Core would make an epic trilogy of movies. It would top most sci-fi movie charts in this day and age.
That is the White Glint, obtained through the "Defend Line Ark" Mission. Good luck! :3
you know it'd kick ass if they made an armored core movie....i love this series
TOTAL EPICNESS imagine how epic would it be if this thing was a movie
seeing such an awesome opening movie combined with the on going story of armoured core they should make a bloody movie to be honest
Ultra cool!!! I hope to see a sci-fi movie like this quality someday!
Back when I started, I was a total fucking noob. I used Codebreaker to hack infinite life. I absolutely sucked.
Then a few years later I started from the first Armored Core game and worked my way up. Now I never lose a mission, and LOVE every ounce of difficulty the series offers.
Ugh, I spent hours playing this game and getting every last damn single player achievement....
Totally worth it. Damn good game.
How come I didn't know about this till know!!! That looks awesome!!!!
White Glint has to be one of the coolest looking mechs Ive ever seen, Spirit of Motherwill(the giant aircraft carrier/battleship) is awesome too.
Just like one of the best opening movies Ive ever seen.

wow incredible quality
now if only they made an Armored Core full length movie like this
5/5
I'm trying to imagine the conditioning a pilot would have to go through to pilot a NEXT like that.
Its pretty sweet so far.
2:12-2:15 -- He fired 1 missile, but 2 missiles flew by?
2:20- What was that???????
3:00- At first, I thought he was undergoing an emergency cooling phase. I thought those were external radiators or something.
3:06- YET ANOTHER AWESOME MOMENT!!!
That intro was nuts
As far as I remember, the mercenary AC pilots in the earlier AC games grouped up to an independent and called themselves "Ravens". Apparently they don't exist anymore, but Collard seems to function pretty much the same. They call themselves now "Lynx", I don't understand why, though, since I missed playing some of the AC games.
it seems armored core 5 fell flat on its face compared to this. even though verdict day fixed up a bit of what went wrong.
The speed is what made AC4/4A.
5 lost the speed that made the game amazing.
What the fuck. Armored Core existed waaay before Code Geass slithered out of japans womb. Respect these guys. They define what mech combat is.
As a 3D animator...I can only imagine how long it took to texture that AC...*shudders*
wow. that unit is awesome.
Armored core was part of an exposition in Rotterdam regarding manga and mecha.
pretty sweet seeying all kinds of artwork from this game.
they even had the miniture models.
I
the best person to have on ur side and the most feared to have against you White Glint!!
"Bestest". you re right. This is the bestest of the bestest!
Got it on the first day it came out, happy to be back to armored core finally.
oh wow i didnt know that, no wonder the mechs look frickin sweet
That's the manga. All characters in the games are veterans of war, or hardened mercenaries, meaning they are at least mid 20's or older. There is the caveat that we never see them in person, but that helps in some ways as well.
Yep, that's why you need to keep your AC fit and healthy ^ ^
Love this game to this day. As far as any mecha game out there goes. Armored Core 4 and For Answer are still probably the best two mecha games out there to date. I've played plenty that have come close, but there is just something about these games that lets them hold up far longer than any other Mecha game I've played.

Ah I miss the days I could cut my enemies down with the Dragonslayers and rule the PVP arenas. If I couldn't get up close to kill em. I wait for them to run out of ammo. If I do get close? Hehe.... Game over for anyone that gets caught in that onslaught.
I wouldn't doubt that an anime company or whomever comes along to create a series about Armored Cores. Just like Gundam or anything like that.
You also gain a lot more versatility with a humanoid weapon that you don't have in vehicle types. You can stop any modern tank just by making a large enough mud pit, or throwing down a few pieces of industrial I-Beam welded together. Bipedal designs allow you to "walk over" these obstacles.
As for weapons, the further technology advances, the lighter and stronger materials are going to get. It isn't like everything is always going to be made out of heavy metals.
Nerdgasmic cinematics!
I love the design of the White Glint
This movie looks sooooo real, especially in HD!!!!
2:30, If this was on a news show I would've definately thought it was real...
Fiona is the operator of white glint, not its pilot. The pilot is the main character (you) from armored core 4. Check out the armored core wiki entry for "operators" for more information.

I most definitely agree with that.

It's my 2nd favorite game series of all time. I've been playing since AC2.
There is plenty of room for Code Geass, Gundam, Robotech, Gurren Lagann, Armored Core and all the other mecha out there. Why people pick the silliest things to argue about I don't know. To each their own, all of the mecha designs from each of the universes I listed fits for that series and generally look pretty damn awesome!
this is one of those game you cant doze off on, its just so fast and exciting, 2:06 looked amazingly realistic though, amazing!
even though i'd LOVE to see the new anime for this series to come out, I think a show with these graphics, even a 2 hour movie would be EVEN BETTER.
They should make an Armored Core anime. Seriously.
it is awesome...
when it tells you you don't have the parts, it should give you the option of buying all the parts you need automaticaly in one go.
no
warning SPOILER

The White Glint's pilot is "Anatolia's Mercenaries" aka, "Raven". The protagonist of AC4.
High speed, high firepower, high explosive.
Yup, sums up ACFA juuuuust good *Smokes a cigar*
ok here we go:cluster missile system,thing on its back is the vanguard overboost system(round things are fuel pods),external radiators are kojima partical generators for offensive or deffensive attacks,is piolt unknown not joshua or new female piolt like people think.the mission op. is female. hope this helps some.^.^
epic, extreemly epic....
ROFL oh man i can only imagine how scared I'd be if i were to even see something the size of that huge behemoth looking... whatever that thing is.
ok. 3:00 was awesome anyway. I LOVE the way his eye shield covers up!!
:50- AC always has the BEST CG graphics!!! The only games that could stand against them are the Gran Turismo games, Final Fantasy CG, and Namco's Ridge Racer CG scenes. But AC is the best for the simple fact that they actually make stuff break, and blow up!!

Armored Core for Answer is essentially Armored Core 4, but with giant 1000 meter high, 10 mile long Arms Forts you must destroy. For Answer also has a more depth customization system and ranking system.
yay i finally have armored core and it`s AWESOME!
So this is what you get when you add a massive battle ship to a few set of legs.
all in favor of them making a movie of armored core like this comment
holy shit, they made this one look real, big time
You can use two at a time, and if you alternate using them, you can almost get to an overboost-like speed: Very helpful if you can't get decent boosters.
Now that's what I'm talking about.
OMG i so want that game. (mouth hanging open while watching)
@Nanovirus5995 1. Kojima reactors. Basically the futures version of a highly toxic, extremely powerful energy generator.
2.Assualt armour. Basically a massive explosion of Kojima particles that deals Heavy damage to anything without Primal armour (shields).and removes both yours and who ever it hits, primal armour.
@KalAllBea
since we are applying the mech logic here
we can assume that the apaches here are that much advance/powerful as well? :P
i always use that AC design as my main AC
they need to make a real armored core movie now in theaters
I miss this game so much.
I almost wish fromsoft hadn't gotten so famous because we won't see another armored core...........How I wish they would give us one with all that new talent and money.....
... THAT THING IS HUGE!
It's called A/A or Armor Assault, I believe it's more of an all out Energy attack that takes your primal armor shield, energizes it and rapidly expands it in one burst for a few seconds dealing massive surrounding damage......well that's my theory anyway.
Oh the opinions!
good luck, honistly to get a copy of ' for answer' it took me 6 months of looking in the pre-owned section of games shops
1. The second missile had about a second of following distance. That leaves just enough time for the second missile to be launched when off camera.
2. I believe that was another fuel pod.

It'd be gundam wing series all over again. :D

YEAHHH!!! FIGHT BACK!!
wow!

cool big fan of armored core looks like an good game
That is usually some Automaton ball that fires REALLY strong lasers. I faced a few last night at my friends.
yeah im sure. joshua o'brian was glints pilot but he dies from the stress of piloting glint and the last battle. remember at the end the guy said that fiona and the pilot lefted but that was another story. thats wat this is.
@luisdez81 AC doesn't need aerodynamics btw...It doesn't 'fly' like an aircraft. It doesn't need to go forward first before it can turn lol. That poor raptor does. :9
the people who make the AC games should make a gundam game, that way there could actually be a good gundam game for once
well it comes out in australia in august, so i assume it will be out in euroope before that, we always get everything last :(
ok thanks
Wow, AH-64 Apache had some serious service longevity!
her names "Fiona jardefelt"by the way the AC is white glint line arks main weapon/asset shes also one of the first 4 from the beginning of the great war on anatolia and the last survivor,oh yes did i mention she destroyed anatolia single handedly (unless u help her in amored core 4)because her allies were afraid and almost certain itd mean death

You can buy it on amazon. 33 tracks of pure awesome.
wow the white machine looks like "terminus devil fish" from eureka 7. real cool
are those vids from the cinematics of the game?
The level of photo realism is so high!! Looks amazing. They should do a movie about this!!
JELLY
That is so bad ass *_*
