UPDATE! Here's a recent interview with Miyazaki, where he specifies that the game is staying true to its Armored Core roots: www.ign.com/articles/armored-core-6-looks-to-be-more-armored-core-than-soulsborne?
Considering all the evidence I presented in this video, I still think that the game will have some new elements, but I'm glad that they're honoring the old Armored Core style. I'll encourage everyone to try Armored Core no matter what, and I'm excited to see gameplay and finally understand what's going on with this franchise
Still consider the opening to AC2 the best, get chills from that song combined with the pod drop right into combat
yay! glad to hear it
I have a feeling if this sells very well armored Core 6 from software might revive some old franchises for example kingsfield. Hopefully we'll see another survival horror game from from software at some point in the future as well
I remember as a kid this was the hardest game I played in PS 1 simply due to the 3d maneuvering. After replaying as an adult I realized you can cheese the AI. Hopefully they improved the AI a bit.
XD
I'll reply to this post for visibility. To fix your shader problem you do 2 simple steps.
1. In RPCS3 go to Configuration -> GPU -> Check Write Color Buffers.
2. In RPCS3 go to Configuration -> Advanced -> Check Read Color Buffers
On a side note for anyone interested the Armored Core Franchise has multiple universe with 5 so far. There are as follows.
Original Universe:
Armored Core -> AC: Project Phantasma -> AC: Master of Arena -> Armored Core 2 -> Armored Core 2: Another Age
Armored Core 3 Universe (Layered):
AC3 -> AC: Silent Line -> AC: Nexus -> AC: Formula Front -> AC: Nine Breaker -> AC: Last Raven
Armored Core IV Universe (NEXT):
AC IV -> AC: For Answer
Armored Core V Universe (FATHER):
AC V -> AC: Verdict Day
For those interested, The Layered Universe offers a good introduction to "classic" Armored Core and general customization concepts, while I would say the NEXT universe offers a good introduction to "modern" armored core in terms of playability and feel. AC IV is a bit faster than AC V, but AC V was a bit more tactical in its game design compared to previous installments as it had an emphasis on multiplayer (Especially Verdict Day). It remains to be seen what AC VI will be like so you're welcome to try the FATHER universe as well.
TLDR: If you're playing armored core and notice that the companies/corporations names are different, you're probably in a different universe.
Man I cannot wait to see what insane variety of poison swamps Miyazaki will put in this one
Rofl, some hellish EMP fog that forms around electrified crystal outcrops and will brick your mech dead draining the energy after it shorts out your shield, or the like.
Oh, and the crystals would erupt randomly in certain areas like land mines. Bwahaha.
@@FurtiveSkeptical that’s too evil, stop giving them ideas!
The first armored core had a level that constantly drained your health literally the whole time with poison gas. So I bet we’ll see something worse. Probably with fire instead.
Rust swamps
Acid corrosion swamps
Hoping that with FromSoft's fame nowadays, this can not only reinvigorate the Armored Core franchise, but also the mecha genre in general!
A new generation of mech games would be great. Armored Core VI could be what Daemon Ex Machina should have been.
But if it's Fromsoft, it's in good hands. I have faith that AC VI will be, if nothing else, inspirational.
It sure needs it. I love mecha games and it's a shame the ones I enjoyed either go offline or just aren't that fun to play, and that there's so few people willing to give it a go.
Heck, I'd be happy with a new Titanfall if the second game (which I think is really good) didn't 'flop' as it did in EA's eyes.
I miss the mech games lol it was so kewl, titanfall just didn’t quite cut it
Exactly. My last armored core game was 3. And the only other mecha game that I really loved was on ps2: Gundam encounters in space
@@restfulori212 how many mecha games did we even get these last few years? I remember a couple Gundam games releasing and then there’s technically Left Alive … but I don’t think anyone wants to claim that game
about the poison swamp thing: there was a mission in the very first armored core game that had you going through an underground bunker that had purple gas going through the entire place and this gas dealt damage to you're AC over time. so it may not be a swamp, but it is a massive poison area that most people hated going through...the good ol' From Soft treatment...
Similarly, areas with extreme heat (Burning Facility) or radiation (K Particle contamination) have shown up throughout the AC series as rare and nasty mission complications.
Yes but the purple gas mission was the worst, nothing you could do to slow down the ap drain aside from equipping the highest ap giving parts and just running
Long term fan from the late 90s here. I cannot begin to tell you the hype from within my very soul for this game. AC has always been souls like in its difficulty and complexity in builds. If you want to play through the series and preform well you need to spend time and master not only the mechanics, but understand what you're going up against and what tools are best for the job, as well as your own limitations (speed, health, ammo cap, radar for best map, targeting jammer, the list goes on)
Sounds fascinating, can't wait to dive in and learn
@@VaatiVidya PS1 AC1 and 2 where best, PS2 AC3, was also good, 4 answer and 5 where both Meh in my opinion, if you can fidn the game and a PS1 or emulate them, DO IT. they had high skill ceilings in the original, i think i spent a week modifying and customizing my mech for the AC2 rank 1 match before i finally beat that bastard
@Ichiban Hentai Otaku Once a Raven, always a Raven
@@exiteternium Played AC1 and AC Master of Arena endlessly. Just played through Silent Line (From AC3 era) again on a emulator. Used dual flight sticks as controls. Amazing experience.
@@exiteternium I would respectfully disagree, I personally DID NOT enjoy AC3 (besides Nexus) and AC4A is my favorite of the Series. This community is very divided which of the 15 games of the series is the best. To truly understand, we would encourage you to play through the games yourself.
I remember watching my dad play Armored Core when I was a kid and not being able to understand what was going on only knowing that he really loved these games, and then I play all the souls games and when he sees me play them he has no clue what's happening and I completely blew his mind when I told him that the people that made elden ring and dark souls also made armored core. His hype for this is quite insane.
That's adorable. I wish I could play games with my dad.
Woah I feel so old now XD I used to play the original armored core on ps1 it was my fav! Followed by project phantasma ac2 ext ext. Mmmmm such an incredible series I never thought they'd release another I really had given up- I'm just stoked yo this is gonna be great. Idk how old ur pa is but chears y'all
I remember playing these games and having no clue what was going on lol, but I do remember my mech was always the coolest thing ever and I was always in pursuit of being the Ace among Aces lol.
well that's wholesome af
My dad still has his old PS2 lying around, I played tons of armored core 3, good times
I've been an Armored Core fan for the last 23 years and I can't even put it into words how emotional I got seeing this. I hope entire new generations of gamers come to appreciate this series because it's what put FromSoftware on the map in the gaming industry.
I always heard about these games but never played them. Name suggested something about mechs and it triggered something in me.
And since this launch on ps4, From last games and their bravery with trying new things I will buy it 100%. I was never disappointed or dissatisfied with their games
Only played the first one back on ps1 but it was one of my favourite games of the console, always wished we could get another one. So glad it's finally happening, and with all the money and experience they now have
Yeah I can confirm it absolutely has already gotten people interested in armored core, especially if the marketing team pushes it correctly.
Dude this announcement made me cry at work LOL
cried seeing the trailer, legitimately. im so excited
This game series is so underrated. The customization and depth. The high speed group battles in PvP. Now that Fromsoft is on the mainstream this game series will finally be put on the map. One of my favorite mech games.
I think the best cousin game for it is Deamon X Machina on the switch, which I fell in love with when the demo came out. Hell, even if it ever gets ported I’ll buy it again to hold me over until Armored Core is out. It’s what GOT ME interested in Armored Core to be honest.
Oh man PvP battles are gonna be awesome!
This game is going to ressurect the past.
@@ZynetESLD dude I'm so happy that it's finally going to get the recognition it deserves. It was always a small community of us in the online scene. Now we're going to have so many new players coming in and they won't know true high speed battles are. I hope they have the clan battle system like they did in AC5 that was really fun. Having your clan put on the map, setting up defenses and either attacking or defending territories.
It’s not underrated just because you like it
Only played AC4 but I remember the super in depth customization of your mech. Not only in looks but the weapons, radars, your thrusters, and such. Being able to prep for the mission by switching or upgrading pieces for different mission needs. Very very hype for this game
You have been SEVERELY lacking in AC content then.
@@davidmh2171995 AC has been very lacking in AC content.
@@SnailHatan exactly, also the thing I'm excited for its modern approach, but worried about the modern aduience reception since the game is a japan Jank or gameplay focused.
ac 4 was def a tough game !
That first shot of the trailer being nearly identical to the intro of Dark Souls 1 was extremely heart warming
i'm so glad i wasn't the only one who noticed the first flame parallel!
Art style really looked like elden ring intro art (have not played ds1)
I thought the same thing, was getting ds1-3 vibes with a mech future instead of medieval. Atleast the art style felt like a nice call back to previous games
My exact first thought was "...and the Furtive Pygmy, so easily forgotten."
Yooo
I love the genuine surprise and excitement on Miyazaki's face when they announced the GOTY award for Elden Ring
I figured it would go to GOW since it came later in the year and people forget what they haven’t played recently. That’s great cause Elden is the best game I’ve ever played. I love Fromsoft games.
It really could boil down to either ER or GoW. Right game won though
@@forester057 GOD OF RIGGED: RIGGEDAROK
@@forester057 cool, hate your name though
@@alwest4472 your nothing special either "al west"
I’m an OOOOLD fan of the series, and I’m SUPER interested to see how they do this.
In my opinion, the games themselves were basically precursors to the “souls-like” concept already, so it’ll work perfectly.
I remember playing these games back when I was a younger guy on the PSX. It was surprisingly deep - allowing you to not only build every aspect, but also create custom emblems on your mech as far back as the late 90s, but the weirdest thing was how the early pre-PS2 era controls worked. You used the shoulder triggers to look up and down.
My favorite one though (I forget which) from back in the day when I was following every Armored Core release closely, was the one where you could do this like "overboost" trick by pressing both L3 and R3 at the beginning of a match - and would then surpass your mech's systems limitations... but at the cost of basically a timer before your entire system overheated and you were a sitting duck.
Every match, I'd hit that overboost and just try to wail on my opponent as fast as possible before overheating - basically turning each match into a speed-run / shortened time attack mode.
I also can't remember which game that was but dang it would be so fun to see that brought back
you're thinking of Armored Core 2 for the PS2
In previous armor core games Ravens were unique pilots that were in high demand because they were better pilots but they were usually mercenaries and you had to pay top dollar to get one. The red glow was a dead giveaway that you were facing a Raven, so my thoughts would be this new substance is a means to create new Raven level pilots or something of that nature.
Or maybe the redlight implies those are tau ac like in acv
I thought the red may just be this universe's version of Kojima particles?
There's no way Nineball doesn't make an appearance with all that red
ACs had a variety of eye lights though, not all red. Some were blue, gold or green also.
@@gublaman Nah, FromSoft saving that for Armored Core IX.
As somebody who got into from software from the souls games, I’m super excited for this. I loved every game I’ve played from them, so I’m pumped to see more about this
I'm scared af that the combat is gonna be so far removed from the previous AC titles. the freedom during combat was really appealing I hope we don't lose that
Dodge-rolling mechs, that'll be funny to see.
nah dont be. they will nail that part. its the world building and story that always was super dry and just "there" that they will likely fail to fix.
In AC you dont dodge roll, you strafe and boost but you click in on the right stick for overboost ....which uh......I mean if you call going like 3 actual miles in a blink "dodging" nahhhhh its not like a dodge roll, more like a jet fighter fucking off at supersonic speed just to loop around and come back for another pass.
@@danr154 in the ps2 era, we call that bunny hops. a short burst of jump where you hop around managing fuel and heat. an acquirable skills. I hope AC brings back those kind of skill type gameplay. Like GunZ bf style. And like those games and dark souls, if you cant master those skills - doging etc, youre not going to finish the game lol.
More like there gonna give the combat a triple A treatment armoured core had stif gameplay compared to zone of the ender's
@@warped_rider You never played AC4 I see.
Very excited to read the comments on this one, as I feel there's a lot to learn from the early community of AC fans that have been waiting so long for a new game. It's been pretty wholesome to read all the comments from folks who grew up playing these games in the early Playstation era. Anything we should know? Anything I should have talked about?
There's a robot named Nineball.
Destroy it.
Dude wtf I been trying to play armored core 2 for the longest time and now you showed up with this?! Amazing !!!
There's a small channel named Armoredcorelore who has been keeping the hope of an AC game until now.
I suppose I would say the most important thing to know is that Amrored core is not souls. It never was. Hopefully never will be. Is it hard? Sure, it can be. I just hope it retains its original identity, and not be reformed into a mechasouls thing. That would honestly make me cry, i think.
Here’s hoping patches finally finds his way home, long live patch the lucky pilot of the no count, can’t wait to see more from you on the series
One thing to note is that like every Fromsoft game, every Armored Core game also has the Moonlight Blade, usually being one of if not the strongest melee weapon in the game should your unit be able to meet its power and weight requirements.
Oh really? That's super interesting! Thanks for sharing this info. I always thought the Moonlight Blade was lore connected to Dark Souls.. But seems like it's more of a personal thing of Miyazaki, that he HAS to put in every game he creates :)
Edit: As mentioned below by "Lucifer", the Moonlight Blade was first introduced before Miyazaki's time at FromSoftware
The only way I remember unlocking it was a duel against a challenger using it in a small room with no space to fly, escape, or hide.
Don't forget about that laser rifle too. Kurasara or something like that. Hard hitting rifle you needed to use wisely and build your mech around.
Seriously? Holy heck
Cant wait to see the new Moolight Blade.
The first iteration of it wasnt in Demon's souls as ppl believe, it was Armored Core.
IVE BEEN PLAYING SINCE AC1 on PS1! IM ABSOLUTELY IN TEARS WAITING FOR THIS! ITS GOING TO BE GREAT! as someone who spend DAYS AND DAYS of gameplay time on every title..... im overwhlemed with joy to see this series return to form. say goodbye to other mech games. the king has returned :)
Me too can't wait! I'm a big AC fan and huge souls fan
Do you think a completely new fan will have to start from the first few games (I have a PS2) or will this be a standalone title?
It's extremely fun to go back to this video, after he's made several videos on Armored Core, played all of the games, and actually got me to finish both AC4 and AC: For Answer. It makes me want to say : "Come on Vaati, you have to check "write color buffer" and "read color buffers" in RPCS3 to avoid that graphical glitch on your mech, future you knows that !".
Dude, that shot of the solar system being enveloped by an exploding star or whatever it is, is absolutely epic. I love how large the scale of it is by how slow the fire is consuming it. Holy shit I’m really excited.
That is actually a separate star system, and that fire is central to the setting of the game. A mysterious material, with promise as an energy source. However when it was unearthed, it set off a massive, star system spanning firestorm.
@@senounatsuru6453 hell yeah that sounds so epic and massive and I love it. Thanks for expanding for me.
@@thomasjefferson2676 yeah it's called literally capital letters Burning Star System, it rules
Oh it's in the video. Well, just in case I'll leave this here
I dunno, there happened to be a black hole in that vicinity
Still cinematic and mesmerising
Goosebumps on the helicopter and C-RAM scene
For those that haven't played core games before, It plays out in ace combat style sorties with different choices to make mid mission. I really hope they bring back the old arena system. It was my favorite part. 1v1 battles against 50 different npc mech pilots. Each one having a different build and lore. You could also see those pilots from the arena show up in your missions.
Yeah I liked it except the high ranked NPCs were ridiculously OP. I remember them pretty much teleporting all over the place making it near impossible to hit them or keep up with them.
I'd even recommend playing gundam target in sight on the ps3 as it gives a very similar experience we especially in terms of the mission briefing and the sortie style machines
Yeah I forgot about the single player arena it was so fun gave you an idea of what your early Mech could turn into
Interesting. I never got into Ace combat because I know to much about actual flight to ever properly respect that game.
SLAI for the ps2. I just want a modern game with that style…
I've been playing since the first AC, to watch my favorite series die but revived in such a monumental way by such a phenomenal company is like Christmas and birthday rolled into one, I'm hoping everyone enjoys it as much as I do.
Your art book for the Souls series was divine. If there becomes one for the Armored Core series; flavored within this dystopian, mechanized robotic world, I will be just as excited, if not more so, than I will be for the game itself. Cheers to you, and my fondest hope to see art contests in the future emerge based on this franchise.
Two things overlooked about AC, especially the recent ones, are the impressive as hell boss fights that are Colossus-like. And the story in recent ones are actually damn good and branching where you can become basically a true villain where every one of your allies, even the lady who gave you your mission briefs and in-game updates, desperately try to stop you.
That's actually sick!
Can you elaborate more? 👀
@@dropkickpherby6994 So the story can branch and change depending on which missions you take, and on the big evil route of Armored Core 4 Answers (spoilers)
Earth is pretty much uninhabitable and the last of humanity are in these colossal ships flying above the dangerous winds/atmosphere. The main evil guy says that humanity needs to evolve on the planet and need to survive or die on the planet and tasks you with destroying them. Each aircraft holds a million humans in them, and you gotta target certain areas of them while dealing with their defense systems. The main bad guy is on your comms while you're doing this, and begins counting "1 million dead... 2 million... 3 million" as you blow up these aircraft.
Then the next mission is possibly the hardest in the game. You're set into a trap and everyone who you worked with and once called you their ally comes down and fights you, and basically say you're an absolute monster who needs to end. Even the comms lady who did all the mission briefs and updates in missions and tutorials appears in her own AC to try to stop you. It's one of the hardest missions in the game, but it does a great job of conveying this desperate stand by the allies to stop you.
I can’t freaking wait. I love sci fi and mech stuff but never played Armored Core before. I’m jonesing to play this.
@@Zayl1016 I still get Vietnam-like flashbacks to that fight, god that was to so fucking hard. I never even bothered to attempt it on the hardest difficulty.
In most of the games you are amoral and losing your humanity, definitely closer to bad while still staying neutral, because the MC is more than willing to take some nasty contracts. AC4, 5 and VD are the first ones where I'd argue you're probably just good. Maybe you could argue 3 and Nexus.
The art direction is absolutely phenomenal
I wouldn’t call myself a mecha fan but as an artist this trailer was just too sexy to not get interested in the game.
beyond passion, INSANE art. im not even big fan of mecha-space game, but this is built different
First thing I said at the planet scene. That and the skybox looks stunning.
The shot of the big boi being lowered was wonderful. The only way I could describe it is "futuristic cold war"
There is never a bad time to be a Fromsoftware fan
man, this AC6 gonna be my first AC game. been waiting for very long to have any AC ported to PC. ohhhh boy back in 2016 or 17 when i realised AC dev is Fromsoftware how excited Iam to wait the revival of AC with the souls like idea integrated. Souls series has been the biggest game of fromsoftware in a decade also probably the best game of the decade. hail Hidetaka Miyazaki, Praise the Fromsoftware for it shine as bright as the sun. \[T]/
In between games
I played the original DS port to PC way back when, that was the worst time tbh.
Post Demon's Souls era, you mean. Before that, they weren't known for being known.
Except if you want to play demon souls remake and dont have 700 dollars for a PS5
This is the perfect time for this series to come back, right on the heels of winning GOTY will boost peoples interest big time. I can't wait for this game to come out!!
Armored Core is a great series and it's awesome to see it return. I just hope they can do it justice. Personally, I'd love to see another Chromehounds game, which felt in many ways to be a precursor to the Armored Core series.
How Chromehounds felt a precursor? It's like a 2006 year when AC released in 1999.
Armored Core was waaaaay before chromehounds lmao
Chromehounds is the baby Armored Core lol
If this game keeps the story line of the rest of the games, those 'Smaller mechs' that are destroyed in the sweeping attack are versions of the ACs you piloted all the way back in Armored Cores 1-3. It's a neat little detail that just shows how tech has been advancing in the Armored Core universe.
All the numbered games are disconnected from each other though. For example, while armoured core 3 had a bunch of follow up titles like silent line or last raven, they don't have any links to ac4.
I could have sworn they were at least tangentially related, since the Kojima tech from 4 is why everything is screwed up in 5
@@RedFlameZero Correct, armored core 4, for answer, armored core V and verdict day are all set in the same universe
@@Kamakrazee As an aside, I am still giddy and proud about VD having you fight an equivalent of the protagonist NEXT from For Answer with a decidedly slower, less technologically advanced AC and winning.
@@BCDeshiG There are some (admittedly cut) links. If you seach on RUclips "Armored Core TGS trailer Xbox 360, you can see a NEXT fighting 3 Normals. Those Normals had similar designs to Pre-AC4 ACs, especially the starter ones for the player. To this day, I'm sad that it was cut and Normals in AC4&FA were significantly differing in design.
I played so much PvP AC in high school! It was always so cool to see all the different ways you could build your mech. I remember taking a light, fast melee mech against a gigantic Guntank and having to learn to dodge clouds of missiles to get in range. It was incredible.
I enjoyed playing gigantic, missle-toting gunmechs. Wanton destruction is the way to go.
Missle dodging was so good in ac hope something similar resurfaces.
Damn I was hesitant when I first saw the Trailer but that sounds badass asf. Definitely hyped for the game more now.
I remember playing Armored Core from a demo disc for ps1 so I go way back with the series. What I love about it is the amount of mech parts and customization you can make a mech to your style and dreams. There's a bit of lore in the series too if I recall as the Nine Ball was a constant rival and appearance in several games
Man I played all the old armored core games. So ahead of their time . Favorite games from when I was a kid. People that never played them are in for a treat
Well, here’s hoping we are as a gamer familiar with the franchise but never played it.
While they haven’t released a dud yet, I’m going to remain skeptical until I play the game myself.
the amount of customization these games had back in the day is outstanding and fromsoft has only gotten better at attention to detail. The build crafting on here is about to be wild
I bet there would be super dark tunnel missions and you have the option to customize your head lights
@@sgregory0753 not too sure about that as the earliest I’ve played was armoured core 3 and silent line on ps2, but tbh I wouldn’t be surprised if the earlier generations had that type of stuff.
And they have 500 bongzilion dollars to throw at it too
@@castlemanmancastle6927 I played AC2 and I can confirm that they had similar customization.
Everything Fromsoft has learned in the last decade from perfecting the souls-formula will be tuned in amazing ways to large armored mechs, it's going to be so cool
To those new to armored core, get ready for a whole other level of a difficult learning curve. I'm so stoked.
The garage is your friend
I’m READY.
I can't wait, haven't played one since 4/4 Answer.
Facts. Zinaida traumatized me worse than Malenia did 😩
@@FauxRegard At least with Malenia, you could just manually retrieve what you lost.
You fuck up in AC enough times and you literally get liquidated and have to start over.
The most interesting and I bet stressful part of creating this game, will be how the balance turns out.
Its one thing doing it for single weapons and abilities but AC is a fully head to toe customisation.
definitely looking forward to seeing how it will be
I used to watch my dad play this game (20 years ago?) I can’t wait to tell him about this, something I love (fromsoft) and something he loves, that we can share now that I am older.
Damn this video made me watch the Armored core 2 opening CG, damn brings me some memories
What I'm really hyped about is the art competition that will surely come with this...
There won't be .
Cores are constructed from parts , similar to Gundam Gunplay half the oooooo aaaaaah mechs in trailer are using garbage parts (Saw not one high end K rifle or anything) the best gear has your core looking like a tweaker assembled it 🤣🤣🤣 a light speed build moves so fast everything is blurry af .
These games are thinking man adrenaline rush games where victory is part build , part 3d map knowledge and awareness so you can sideslide around without slamming into objects at 200-400 mph on maps bigger than Battlefield but still feel cramped . Art my foot (wasn't any for old games just model collectors in japan) S rank a mission on a flawlessly planned run is beyond satisfying
@@DarkepyonX what does any of that have to do with the prospect of an art competition... you're tweaking bro.
@@DarkepyonX my guy did you just have an entire conversation with yourself that was in no way relevant to the original comment?
@@DarkepyonX you can still have art competitions with that in mind
@@DarkepyonXThis is such a strange take… You act as if you know everything two days after the trailer was even released.
Mixing the more visceral poise-based combat of Souls with AC's scale and variety of mech customization could result in incredibly epic gameplay 🤯 !
The post-apocalyptic setting with the mech with the huge backpack reminded me of Death Stranding, might be a background detail, might be an aspect of strategy (special retrieval missions to get Melange from old battle sites to upgrade gear for next story missions ?).
An interview with the game director explained that it won't be Souls-like, nor be open world, strictly mission based like your typical AC. However, I'm still interested in seeing how their developed and fostered in-house experience from the past decade and a half plays into the new AC, even if it isn't Souls-like.
I would love to see For Answer and Verdict Day pop up on Steam as well.
The fact that the lead game designer, Masaru, takes helm as the director for Armored Core 6 put my mind at ease.
I rest assure the combat will be awesome.

@@crimsonwolf866 4 was faster than previous AC games, and the Armored Core you piloted was definitely more powerful, but not really moreso than a fully Human+ machine in earlier games, and nowhere near as speedy or overpowered as the Orbital Frames in ZoE.
There was still a ton of customization, and if you wanted to keep that machine handling well you had to worry about the weight balancing of your equipment.
The only way at all that it played like ZoE is that it finally shed the PS1 era control scheme and forced a modern, dual-analog control scheme. A control scheme that had been an option since Nexus.
@@Galanthos the point is it's nothing like armored core if I wanted faster paced mechs I would've played zone of enders. Why change the format that made it make it this long to something it isn't.

Just so you know, every AC game has had the moonlight ;)

@@calarakien Evergrace has it too? I gotta play that game.
I've played armored core 1-3 and it was basically the same. You make your mech, from the boosters, to the generator, to the chassis of the body or the core, the head, the radar system, the targeting system, the overboost system in which allows you to go ridiculously fast, its generator dependent if I remember correctly, as well as a turbo system I think? I am not 100 sure on the turbo system. The "meta" in AC1 was a heavy build with moderate speed and a ton of power that can one shot other mechs, I think 2-3 were missle metas? idk, and I'm not sure but I think after 3 it became more about mobility and all that jazz. I am curious to see how they do it this time around. I just started playing Elden Ring for the first time. I started last week and I LOVE IT!!! Sleepless nights countless bosses and one hell of a great investment. Best $60 spent ever. I loved every AC game I've played. I know FROMSOFTWARE will not disappoint. @VaatiVidya
There's a plethora of weapon options and choices and the worlds were vast considering the limitations of the consoles at the time. Its very customizable, you can change the color of your hud(heads up display) I always made my Cyan, as well as changing the painting colorization for your mech. I believe there were even patterns. If anyone has any questions, please let me know. I hope this helps.
OG Raven here, since the 90's when this series first made its debut. I personally have been itching for a new Armored Core game for about 10 years or so. Looking forward to getting back in the saddle of a AC again.
I cannot, stress this enough. Fighting a mech boss, that is the size of an entire city, as a mech yourself, was absolutely adrenaline inducing. This was one of the more radical aspects in AC: For Answer that really hooked me. As you play, you learn that there is a bit of a grind and farm aspect to it as well. Where, yes things are mission based, but depending how well you do on your missions your rewards vary. So the first time through, you might not get an S ranking; but, several times through, you start to memorize mechanics and build your mech to be stronger/faster/more dynamic/harder hitting/whatever. Through that you can more readily achieve that coveted S ranking and obtain more powerful loot.
Great wall, Spirit of motherwill, Answerer, there is nothing that has ever truely compared to fighting an Armsfort in my opinion
Gaaah, imagine fighting something even crazier than Motherwill in this game. Simply can't contain myself
As much as V/VD were the games I sank my life into, the story and boss battles in FA are unforgettable. Not to mention that White Glint is still probably the most memorable AC in the series.
You willing to wager that this new installment will be GOTY contender?
Agreed on post , 🤣🤣🤣 Souls my ass AC is harder and requires more thinking than any Souls game . Won't see nobody pulling a "Letmesolo" idiocy 🤣 Naked core will just die regardless of skill period
I've been playing since AC2, got the most time in AC5 and Verdict Day PvP. I can't put into words how excited I am to get my hands on another addition to the franchise, and I welcome all newcomers into the Raven's Nest.
I have mind blowing memories of renting armored core 3 for my ps2 back in like 2003. There was a set of arena missions where you would fight 1v1 with other mechs, and figuring out what combinations of weapons and parts would help in overcoming each new challenger was a blast. One of the key aspects was balancing mobility and firepower. As an example you can swap your bipedal legs for a hovering jet platform that allows you to zip around but prevents you from using heavy ordnance, or you can lumber about on a more stable four legged configuration that lets you bring the big guns but forces you to carefully time your brief windows of mobility, making you vulnerable to faster enemies who can close quickly.
Daemon X Machina was the closest thing I think we've gotten to an Armored Core game in a while. I love the series. Armored Core and Front Mission are my two favorites in the giant robot genre. AC are always so fun, trying out new builds, engaging in combat with other robots, getting blown up, trying new strats, eventually overcoming the odds.
I miss the tactical rpg from Front Mission 3, I must have played that game over 10 times, its so fun and customizeable
yeah Daemon X was done by small crew of Fromsoft staff that left cause they were tired of working on Souls games constantly. Glad, From is doing AC now. Especially with their mainstream succes, Mech games finally back.
Try BattleTech if you like Front Mission.
Try MASS Builders :)
What front mission games would you recommend? I’ve got a big mecha itch now so I’m gunna replay what AC games I have in my collection, but I would love new experiences too.
Fan of all genres, so don’t worry about that!
I experienced armored core at like 7 years old with armored core 2, recently got to go back and play the older games and i literally screamed like a little girl when i saw "From Software" across the screen with mechs, i'm glad this is a reality and hopefully this puts the game back on the map
Bruh this game was hard for me at 12 gg.
Thats one of my favorite things about the older games into the newer ones cause they all use the same control scheme, so once you master one, it’s pretty much all muscle memory and it just becomes addicting after that 😂😂😂 being able to dodge AI shots easily is so satisfying
I’m so looking forward for this! I’ve been practicing with Armored core for answer as i train my brain to multitask once again. Same for armored core on PSP
Thanks man you clearly explained what to expect in ACO 6.
One thing to note as you noted with the red glint. There was the Human Plus program in some of the games and focused on neural enhancements (basically made your pilot an android). Also there were poison type swamps in older games.
Does the entire planet being ravaged and polluted count as being a poison swamp?
@@BCDeshiG lets go roll around in it and find out.
So what Im hearing is that Moonlight Blades, Poison Swamps, and Patches are common things in any From Software game (according to lore about their games Patches' first appearance was actually Armored Core games)
Red glint can also mean AI controlled weapons per ACVD.
@@thomasallen9974 They way they do it in AC is you will inevitably travel to a location flooded with a corrosive liquid (usually all over the levels floor like its unavoidable) that slowly decays your armor points. It's a poison swamp in everything but name.
It's really interesting because some of Miyazaki's favorite narrative beats can be traced back to the very first Armored Core. The concept of mass destruction, regrowth, and a looping cycle was the overall plot of AC 1.
I don't think many noticed in between the blowing up of various mechs, I know I didn't really pick it up as a kid when I first started playing Armored Core. I'm so excited to dive into AC6.
dude these new porn bots are legit scary, how tf do they recognise good comments to steal, machine learning?
Excellent comment
@@Ocean_Man Right? I was just scrolling through the comments and seen that and I was like, "Either I became a pornographic star suddenly or there's some nonsense going on..."
Worth noting that Miyazaki didn't join Fromsoft until 2004, but he may well have taken inspiration from that game's story
ACVD has a number of hints to being a sequel to ACFA like motherwill and the cradles
what excellent commentary, thank you for this
My DM used some of the older Armored Core music for a boss battle in our D&D campaign and every track slaps, idc if the gameplay stinks the soundtrack will rule if they have the same composers.
What were you guys fighting and what music was playing lmao?
Growing up in 90s and early 2000s the mech genre was such a big thing! Hope to see it reinvigorated
Ps2 armored core was krazy
There is a few decent ones out there but not even close to the same as armored core games. You got Battletech which is a turn based top down view mech game where you build mechs and fight your way through mercenary contracts that has a great story line. And the new Mech warrior isnt bad, has decent mech building and combat isnt to bad. Worth looking into but like i said, these are not armored core...
yes thanks to Terminator
MechWarrior ftw

it flipped me on my head that you could play it fast, you could play it slow, but you needed to really be good, quick, or it chewed you up and spat you out. lol.
FromSoft could not have picked a better time to come back to this series. With the experience gained from the Soulsborne series, I'm confident that Armored Core will make its triumphant return to form.
Never heard or played armored core, but I have grown to love fromsoft and will definitely pick this up when it comes out!
Well researched. Good theories. Now I am very interested how this game will develope. Lets pray this thing comes to light in a much different way then the last game I was exhited for.
This has been a project Miyazaki has been wanting to work on for a long time. I'm confident FromSoft will handle it properly!

Miyazaki doesn't do AC games well , his last head of project AC run (4 i think) almost got him fired 🤣 . Before Souls , Miyazaki was a weirdo joke at company, Armored core games sold better than souls games . Read the writing on the wall, the vid states Miyazaki was let go of AC6 team entirely.
@@DarkepyonX Miyazaki directed Ac4FA and its an ok game which has more sales than AC4 and AC5.
I grew up on armored core. So excited to see it come back.
One thing I remember is the effect of weight on your mech. You have a maximum limit, but the lower your weight, the better your boosters work, etc. Or you can get rid of your standard mech legs and use treads or a hover platform - higher weight load, but slower. The amount of customization is just crazy.
so you could literally just make a tank, that's so good
certain times dieing and being under 50K credits put you in an "experiment" to make you more integrated with your mech, i believe after 4th time, weight limits on legs was no longer an issue. at least in the first 3 Armored cores.
Fromsoftware also made chromehounds and the customization in that game was insane for an early 360 gen game. It was detailed to the point that rotating your weapon could be the difference between a build succeeding or failing. No one makes mech games like they do.
That synthesizer sound so dope and makes me wanna play based on that alone.
I'm really happy to see From go back and give some of their old games some more recognition. I've been interested in the AC games for a while now, I almost hope the gameplay is more AC than Souls so I could potentially go back to those after experiencing the new one.
Yes, Armored Core has "swamp-like" missions. In these missions, either your boost is drained faster or there's something that is slowly chipping away your health. A lot of the missions are time based too.
Flashbacks to the Kojima reactor mission in ac4...
Overloading Kojima reactor in AC4A.
I think in AC3 or last raven, there was an overloading reactor that caused you to overheat the entire time.
@Edgar Gad in ac4 there was a single mission where you had to hunt down some desperate goons in Normals who were inside a reactor. Sometimes it would just drain your primal armour.
In the depths of each reactor core, you'd lose hundreds of armour points per second.
Also there were a few missions where you couldn't use primal armour, and were thusly way less tanky, and also slower since you couldn't use Overboost either. And there were a few nighttime missions with terribly limited visibility too.
AC4a was far more forgiving on that score, it just kicked the hell out of you old school style most of the time. Very few missions messed you around with the environment.
Oh no *heavy breathing*
I'll do you one better... "Destroy Floating Mines"
The most important part for the old Armored Core games for me was the customization of the mech. It made it feel like it was truly yours and it was always a blast playing against your friends 1v1 to see whose mech was better. If they keep that I’m more than fine with it changing to a soulslike game
I think the customization is what’s going to make it soulslike. Want to do more damage? You’re gonna need a bigger, heavier cannon, and will essentially have to deal with “fat rolling”, or a slower boost or however it will translate
Heavier hits will keep you vulnerable longer, all that
@@_emory uhh.. not quite. if anything, these are all concepts From got from AC.
@@MrBandoftheHawk true, I’m just really interested to see how the combat is going to evolve given their time with small arms. I think it’s just going to feel like a much more graceful armor core
My first (and only) armored core was formula front on the PSP. I thought it was an obscure niche kinda unpopular game and didnt really invest much time into it since none of my friends played it. But from the little time i dedicated into it, i could tell the game was far more in depth and i did not give it justice. I remember overloading my mech because i didnt understand the balance needed and purely went for -parts that were cool looking and sounds OP. Im excited to return to this franchise as a more experienced gamer
YES THE CUSTOMIZATION. I forgot how real it was to modify your whole mech for exact purposes
I'm a relatively old AC fan, my dad had AC3 when I was a kid, and while I never got super far into the game, I always thought it was super cool in how building your AC was so modular and how fun it was to mix parts. Recently I've been playing AC4A and I've been having a lot of fun, super excited for whatever they do with 6 :)
I’ve only ever played armored core 1 and 2, but have VERY fond memories of it. It didn’t even realize it went all the way to 5, and had I known I probably would have played those titles too. Definitely looking forward to this.
It's cool to see Miyazaki handing the Game Director status. Looks like there's another game in development with Miyazaki in its head.
Miyazaki started out as director then passed it on to head of Sekiro
The steam page is worded weirdly. It could be a translation error.
"Hidetaka Miyazaki will be involved as the Initial Game Director. Based on the initial development, Masaru Yamamura has taken over as Director."
It uses the future tense in the first sentence, but this game is well past initial development if it's being released next year. It's more likely that Miyazaki started as director, and then switched to focus entirely on Elden Ring's development, probably years ago.
I think they're just trying to say that Miyazaki laid the foundation, and Yamamura is making the building, as it were.
I think the implication is that Miyazaki was the initial director, but then handed it over to focus more on the development of Elden Ring, and likely is still directing for the expansion that they're presumably working on
@@Bones_ Game director sekiro made best From game in therms of combat. i start to belive that From would make ideal mix of AC 4\5. True space marines but mechs x)))
The boss fights in For Answer might give you some insight to how the boss fights in Armored Core VI may be. Such a great game. I'm so glad it's back
"heh.. lap dog" - proceeds to die to leave you 1 v 5 the bosses.
Something with the scale of Motherwill would be amazing
White Glint, but more focused and cinematic
@@wanderingbufoon That fight is cheeseable too.
For Answer is phenomenal. I grew up on the ps2 games but ACFA is the goat imo
I'm an old fan, and this is honestly my favorite game series. it should be very interesting to see what it'll look like when it comes out. all of the games in the series for 1 through 3 (meaning from the first game up until last raven, 11 games) were very similar but the 4th and 5th series of games had a lot of changes to the base formula of the game. will 6 be a return to form with some new ideas thrown in, or will we see something much diffrent?
another thing worth noting is that all of the cinamatic trailers for all of the games had cool promises of things you could inspect in gameplay. the best example i can give is if you watch AC4: for answer's trailer it shows a mech being rocketed on that giant booster array towards a giant walking battel station, then a few missions into the game your playing that same mission. every major feature added to each game shows up in these trailers. it makes watching the new trailer all the more exciting. The energy shields; That odd grenade spray weapon in the quad mech's left hand; the electric jolt device off the second mechs torso; even the cool folding visor and the mech scavanging for parts with a backpack will probably make into gameplay some how. their's a ton to unpack in it.
I am excited about a new armored core as an player since the PS2 era. I even made a mech cockpit setup to make it feel new awhile back. I hope they put AC parts from previous games in. That way we old players can somewhat remake our old ACs.
I played Armored Core before I even knew FROM as a developer. Stoked to see what they can do with their advancements in everything as a studio now.
I remember my first ever AC game was Armored Core: Project Phantasma when I was about 5, back in 2000.
I then got a PS2 and Armored Core 2 for Christmas that same year because my brother kept coming home from work finding me in his room on his PS1 played Armored Core: Project Phantasma all of the time.
Armored Core, Ace Combat, Zone of the Enders , and Roll Cage were absolutely my childhood.
I cannot begin to describe how much I love Armored Core, and how excited I am for 6!!!
Silent line 🥰
A big common factor amongst the stories of Armored Core was the pursuit of some sort of rare holy grail of power or technology that would tip the current balance in play with all factions involved. Whether it was the old technology in ACVD or factional control in ACFA, or Alien Tech in AC2. The protag (Raven) would be the tipping factor deciding ultimately who would benefit and change the world accordingly due to their interactions.
Yea the rubicon substance seems like super kojima particles.
What about the classic trilogy? Advanced AI such as Nineball Seraph?
So this actually changes based off your actions?
@@Ranatosk yep, companies were vying for control of the ai weapons, lost control and everything went to shit
@@DerkDonk And what of the 3 series? Nanotechnology or something similar?
I've played Armored Core 4 and Armored Core 4: Answer, Armored Core V and Armored Core V: Verdict Day, and I can honestly tell you the skill ceiling in AC4 and AC4A to control your AC was high, so many nuances were built into the game that affected your ACs capabilities in some of the most highly stressful combat situations you could face. You were a force to be reckoned up until the enemy sent their ace Pilot[s] to take you head on. A memory I had from AC:4A was doing absolutely well on my mission then later discovering I had to fight four Ace pilots that kept wiping the floor with me and standing in one place too long or worse yet moving too slow would have me hurting from missiles and gunfire on either side, luckily I had a build that allowed me to turn my AC on dime with the boost that allowed me to escape a dire situation and turn the tables in a split second moving through dunes and using buildings for cover before flying out gun out of their range. Launching satellites to better improve my CPUs aiming range and installing parts on my build that allowed it to better have an extended range and a chance at engagements at ranges that it otherwise could not. The expense was light, armor and other stats I could go without. The fight was wild. It took planning and good skill and management of my weight, power supply, KP and AP, the tuning system. SO much could be said about the older games and I hope AC: Fires of Rubicon, doesn't limit itself like AC: V and AC: VD, I missed fine tuning my mech and the extra areas where I can customize it. I talked about only one mission and went into some of my most memorable details of 4A but nothing beats those epic, grand scale battles when it's you against the giant enemy fortresses. Funny story, it wasn't until I purchased Dark Souls 3 that I realized FromSoft developed Armored Core since 1997. That's more than 20 years creating an IP and after their last 2012 release taking a decade long break but still hard at work developing AC: Fires of Rubicon I look forward to entering the cockpit of my AC again. I will relish every moment I spend in the battlefield. I'll learn from every loss and improve until the mission is a success. If Dark Souls has taught me anything it's that you can never give up, you must keep trying and keep getting better and better until you eventually defeat and conquer your obstacles. The first game to show me that was Armored Core, but Dark Souls refined it and made the challenge all the more fun (and addicting) with built up anticipation for a satisfying end where I finally win.
Knowing FromSoftware is working back to what made AC so great and applying what they learned from developing Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Sekiro, and Elden Ring, all I can say is I welcome my fellow Tarnished, Hunter's, and Soul's brothers and sisters into the fold. I am one player who is extremely overjoyed to have you with us, and my feelings are shared and magnified even by all of us Ravens, NEXTs, and Mercenary Pilots. We have a lot to look forward to.
Long time AC fan. Honestly I'm really excited. Mechanically armored core and souls are similar in a lot of ways and always have been. But I'd say AC is if anything even more complex. Narratively the mission briefings and your observations have always come together make the story like the item descriptions in a Souls game. The love is in the details.
I think your ideas are pretty spot on. The dune thing might also be a reference to classic Gundam. They explored psychic's in mechs way back in their first season.
IIRC, in the very first game of AC you could make yourself a subject of human experimentation. This would grant you enhanced capabilities such as your laser blades shooting laser waves akin to the soulslike run of Moonlight Greatswords or the ER Moonveil Katana.
So the new plot MacGuffin being a substance touting otherworldly power to take humans further than current limits is within reach I would say. haha
@@Zeybrin that's interesting I didn't know that. I joined in at AC2
Played the hell out of Armoured Core 1 and 2 with my brother, very fun game with loads of customisation, there were so many different builds you could put together with different strengths and weaknesses I remember grinding out missions so I could afford the spider legs which looked epic. Very excited to see how this new title is going to look and play
We did the same thing ahahah
I remember downloading the demo for AC4 without actually realizing it was by from software, when I was just a tween. As a game it was way beyond my skill level at the time, but nothing motivated me more than the fight with Achmed. I tried for so long to beat the guy and when I finally did the feeling was euphoric. Begged my dad to buy me the game the next day. I’m really hoping FromSoft can recapture that magic again.
Spoiler: They cannot package childhood nostalgia, no amount of DLC will do it. I know what you mean, but I would lower expectations. What you just described is such a complex web of emotion, like you aren't going to beg your dad to get it today and wonder if he will, he might already be dead!

That's what drives me to it even though I don't really care for Mech gameplay normally. Knowing that FromSoft will once again absolutely nail the atmosphere and the melancholic vibes I'm so down for this. Thanks for your insight!
Mann this guy narrates so well I thought it was a developer voicing the beginning on the video😅 Huge props!
Loved AC 2 and Silent Line. I'm very excited considering FR's recent quality. Hope this will live up to the mark.
An important note on Dune and Spice: consistent exposure to it turns your entire eye completely, opaquely Blue. These new Cores (which you posit use Melange) have Red eyes.
Ahh a fellow Dune reader
This game series is absolutely incredible. What really stands out to me is the story, especially in For Answer. Starting off as just a mercenary trying to get some cash and slowly realizing there's bigger forces at play. Which side are you on? Who can you trust? Or should you just blow up all of society. And also love how white glint is the poster boy for all cinematics, one of my fav mech designs 🙌🏽
Same story as last raven, just slightly more player focused. In last raven we were a mercenary at the start an then a suspicious amount of missions with high difficulty start to pop up. A mission about scorting a train turns into a fight against another raven we where not informed about. A mission about an assault in an industrial facility also turns into a fight with another raven, stealing something on a military facility turns into a time race for a self destruct protocol we where not informed about either.
The story makes it clear, your employer wants you dead, all of them. How? we where supposed to be working for several contractors at odds with each other, but most importantly, why?
Im just scared that its like deamon x whatever it was
@@saxerankenbergfrey6184 it most definitely is not lol.....Armored core is VERY grounded
That's partly why I am so looking forward to Armored Core VI, aside from the fact that Armored Core is returning in the first place. From Software have become progressively better at telling the stories through the games. So i'm highly hopeful for this game's world setting!
@@gantzllatyou just sold me on last raven
Been here since the OG Armored Core. It was insane looking back. You used the L1 and L2 as well as the R1 and R2 to look around and aim. I think modernizing it with a modern audience and PVP will be great. I’m honestly not too worried about them ruining the franchise since it’s pretty much dead and they rocked Elden Ring. Also the group chat with childhood friends is on fire right now so that alone makes this worth it for me.
OMG I forgot about shoulder buttons to look up and down! Oh those were the days. I remember one of the upgrades was a volley of rockets and I thought it was the coolest ever. Like I was in mech movie
I remember my first exposure to the Armored Core series. Way back in the day when I was a kid and my dad bought me the first PlayStation around the time it came out. Armored Core had a brief chunk of a mission as part of the demo disk that came with the system. So many years ago now. This new version I’m sure will be incredible.
Wow what nostalgia! This was my first experience too. Those PS demo disk were amazing as a kid. I I remember playing them when I was 3
Been playing since Armored Core 2, honestly some of my favorite games. This announcement pretty much made my year last night. I'm so excited. I can honestly remember some of the names of players I faced in the old AC games in pvp. I hope to see you guys back out there.
You think the gane would be improved with more soulslike mechanics?
@@monsieurdorgat6864 no, souls and armored core already share a lot of DNA
Both have great customisation, both are medium paced but depends on your builds, both are very difficult, stamina/energy/resource management intense gameplay etc etc
@@Azure9577 I don't agree with the medium paced, AC is as fast or slow as you want it to be, as you could go for rush styles which are extremely fast or tactical shoot and hide
Honestly as long as they don't butcher the movement to make it more restrictive for bossfights and stuff, it's gonna be okay
@@jowamowa I know, I did say that it depends on the build
