I like that it still tries to scale everything according to human proportions, even if no humans appear in the game itself to compare.
From is really great with those little details they know 99.9% of players wouldn’t ever know about in a youtubeless world.
FromSoft: _puts a piece of paper down with a funny joke on it_
Some RUclipsr somewhere: "This is some *deep* lore drop!"
Rokuniichi
I love that it actually goes a lot further than that. There are handrails, catwalks and service doors on EVERYTHING which let you see exactly how a person might navigate these mind-bendingly massive structures, as well as frequently reminding you just how enormous everything is
@@williamfallslike what
I just want to say that I really appreciate how much effort you put into the editing and animation for these videos. It must take so long but it really helps elevate the vids! Nice work
This video has officially been sanctioned by the Fromsoft Vatican
Appreciate that a ton! Definitely means a lot considering the production value of your recent videos.
Looking forward to seeing that inevitable AC6 lore video!
Was thinking the exact same thing this video might not even get over 10K! But hey the amount of work on this one 7 minute video is crazy
Edit: It got over 10k let’s go
Vaabi where’s the LORE
I eagerly await for your version of Armored Lore
If humanity could built the cradles in 4 and the towers in V, I'm not surprising that they could just repair vascular plant within a month
Good point. All things considered, an army of MTs could probably finish these kinds of jobs much quicker than you'd initially expect
While that's an apt comparison, iirc 4/V/6 aren't supposed to be the same singular running timeline, they're all their own separate thing like most Final Fantasy games are, minus the specific same-generation sequels like 4Answer/Verdict Day.
Otherwise yeah, if Armored Core played Civ V, they'd be a Ramses main lmao, they're popping out superstructures to celebrate every major event in human history, it seems
you know, the structures on rubicon, remind me a lot of the towers from ACV/VD
Yes mt's are firts development as labor machine
@@VLimit11 Not even that - remember those AI controlled machines that came to live after the Coral Surge? Most of the planet's structures was probably made fully autonomously.
Frankly of the megastructures shown at the end, the Vascular Plant still beats them by virtue of being a glorified oil rig. If humanity in AC6 builds moneymakers that size, what would they even consider MEGA?
a Dyson Sphere?
@@zahylon5993 Most likely since they seem to have a similar structure at the end of Ending 3
Who’s to say humanity regularly builds things as massive as the Vascular Plant? For all we know, it might be the largest and most expensive project that Arquebus Corporation has ever done, and the costs will take decades or a century to recoup.
@@natethegreat7967 Arquebus was just a random part manufacturer who setup an operation on rubicon after the coral/fires of ibis put it on the map. We know humanity in the AC universe has built multiple towers (20km) and multiple cradles (4km) on earth. An actual industrial corp with MT's could build something much larger if they decided to for whatever reason.
@@ArcadiaCvi think youre confused the AC games arent connected. For all we know cradles and towers dont exist in AC6 and never have
The size of the vascular plant and the xylem is an oddly effective way of representing the scale of the corporations' greed. Is hard to even justify fighting over anything when you have access to that quantity of resources.
Yeah, that's literally owning planets level of money. Or at least owning whole moons. If you _still_ need more resources after that then it's not about really needing resources but just wanting more to own out of base greed.
It's not just the resources, its the power. Arquebus not only had infinite money at their disposal with the Vascular Plant but also a way to control who gets the super fuel for both machinery and weapons. Whatever price and whatever amount of resources they have to invest doesn't matter because once they get a hold of Rubicon nothing else will matter and everything they lost they can easily replace later on by selling Coral or take it by force using Coral powered weapons and AC's on top of having access to both RRI and PCA technology.
For our population? Certainly. But the more people that exist, the more resources that are needed to support them. We may only see Rubicon, but its also only one of many worlds the PCA is dealing with, and the PCA is only one government administration that's basically watching over the equivalent of EPA Superfund sites. The broader spacefaring civilization could easily be host to Quadrillions of humans at a low end.
@@andrewowens4421 Well, considering the scale of what they are doing, the planet's worth probably wont even be enogh for basic stuff in a few decades
I knew these structures and machines were massive, but to actually give them measurements and compare them to whole maps is insane. Well done
3:00 Materials science is always improving too, so it's not a large assumption to make that fighting vehicles will become ~20% lighter than their modern counterparts in a future with lasers, plasma weapons, and hover tech! This is something that armchair novelists seem to forget when critiquing the weight of sci-fi weapons.
Another thing is that Rubicon is smaller than earth so less gravity = less weight
The size is very different though, so it's not 20%. Its like he said, the tank legs are like 10 times lighter than they should be.
@@DIMOHA25 This is very true, that's a problem that plagues almost all real-robot mecha. Larger proportions lead to much greater volume and thus greater weight. Even if we assume that there's a surprising amount of empty space in the average AC, they're still probably around 4 times lighter than they should be (without assuming ACs are built out of exotic materials). That was my bad, you're right. I'm so used to people complaining about how light future-aircraft and future-tanks are in sci-fi that I gave a kneejerk response tbh.
Technically, some of the Gundam universes use special superlight alloys to justify their given weights, so that's a possible explanation to the problem of the in-game given weights for ACs. The in-game tech could all be using superlight materials, but appear as conventional things like steel and concrete because the future-versions of these materials look quite similar while being substantially better.
Either that, or AC6 exists in a universe where volume isn't squared 🤷♂
@@Supercohboy i think one of the few real robots that gets weight kind of right is Armored Troopers Votoms, the Scopedog weights something like 6,7 tons , is meant to be a light unit , but if you see the measurements you will notice that the Scopedog is less tall than a armored humvee is long (Scopedog is 3,8 meters tall , humvee is 4,5 meters long) and the Scopedog is heavier than a armored humvee , which all things considered makes sense , it has a similar size compared to a real life vehicle and is a tad heavier than it , the Scopedog doesn't feels like is ultra light but neither that it is very heavy
As something of a real-world example: if you told an Egyptian Pharaoh that modern humanity would be able to build structures over a mile tall, he'd probably whip you dead for silliness. Modern skyscrapers are only possible because steel is much lighter than stone, hence you can make straight vertical structures with it, whereas with stone you'd have to contend with its weight and various other properties and hence why the most common way to build large with them without the use of adhesives was to make a pyramid.
How would the vascular plant look on an actual sized Earth? Rubicon may have been shrunk for symbolic purposes and to make the plant more imposing, so having it on a planet large enough for 1 G gravity would be an interesting visual.
That's a good hypothetical. I imagine it would still be visible, but Rubicon's total volume is WAYYY smaller than Earth's, so it might not look as impressive
There’s a reason why we don’t see mountains taller than 10km, the vascular plant will just sink into the ground.
@@kerbodynamicx472Considering half of the plant is already underground, I think they considered that lol
@@VLimit11 I think the VP we see underground is not the root of the structure, but the funnel part that later becomes the top, with a replaced shell?
@@teslashark that is probably what "used to be" the top part, probably has a bottom part, and a foundation part below that isnt shown
0:42 Iguazu being an absolute keyboard warrior is so funny 😂
he 100% would be, he is a cry baby.
Still no luck with the sewing club I see...
And he uses hunt&Peck too!
@@michaelkolano8686What’s hunt&Peck?
@@Headbringer typing with one or both index fingers, usually while looking directly at the keyboard rather than the display.
it's common for people who don't use computers much, or very well
With 7% the radius of earth, the weight of the helicopter would probably be pretty comparable with a heavy military vehicle. Thus explaining how it can actually fly lol
Oh also, great video!! Loved the visualizations and talking ACs
I didn't consider that! That definitely makes some player/enemy movement easier to understand if you think of it all in low gravity (though I probably shouldn't think too much about realism in this series, haha)
@VLimit11 rubicon is probably incredibly dense which could give it a similar gravity to earth
@@venlil For some reason that reminds me of Kerbal Space Program. All the celestial bodies in that game are incredibly dense. For example, Kerbin is 58,000 kg per cubic meter. Earth IRL is a measley 5515 kg /m3.
But its mass and inertia are still the same
Tried the blueprint thing again, but with slightly less cringe this time.
I didn't have anyone double-check my calculations or visual comparisons, so let me know if I messed anything up along the way. If not, then feel free to share any feedback or suggestions for future videos if you have any!
I really like the blueprint, keep it up man it's really nice
It looks good
The mata nui robot is about as tall as earth's diameter. Now remember that it can comfortably lie on aqua magna, and that moon is small compared to bara magna. The bionicle universe is HUGE.
Don't forget that the entire universe lives IN Mata Nui
oh, i didn't even knew that rubicon was THAT small!!! it explains how these massive machines are not crumbling under their own weight, since the gravity of this planet would be much weaker
this also explains why ACs float so effortlessly in Rubicon
I mean on paper you could make these same machines on earth and make them stand, however you'll need a powerful powerplant for that, like how large animals can withstand its own weight by expending energy.
Pretty sure ACs/mechs are used on earth too, just like they were used on earth in previous AC games. You're reading too much into it. By your logic, people shouldn't even be able to colonize and live on Rubicon. The low gravity would cause their bodies to atrophy and they'd all eventually die from living in that environment for too long. It's a game about mechs, not some simulator. Don't take it that seriously.
@@Saru-yr3qkyou DO realise that cybernetics are a widespread thing by the time of armored core 6,right?
So it's not out of the question that most of the rubicon citizens use cybernetics to make up for that, or generate artificial gravity.
So overall, your point is rather moot tbh.
@@Saru-yr3qk "Just don't think about it" is a lame way to stop a conversation people are having fun with. It's also a lame way to defend something you like against perceived criticism.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the Xylem. Despite being considerably smaller than the vascular plant, that thing is absolutely massive.
6:53, the fact that Rubicon is far smaller than Earth explains why everything can be huge out there, the gravity is probably weak than earth's.
just to put that helicopter in perspective that lil inch bit more -
the WW2 Battleship Yamato was 263m longer. 33m longer then that helicopter.
Im really glad you kept going after all the demotivating dips. there's nothing that motivates me to keep pushing on in blender than incredible proof of concepts like yourself
Yeah, sometimes we all just need to get over those few big hurdles in our way to see that the rest of the race isn't so bad. Glad I could help give some motivation, and best of luck on your future projects!
I like how you also made a similar style to every scale of its colour scheme like a blueprint compare to the “Real Engineering” in every Formulas, Equations, and Measurements
I LOVE THE AC ANIMATION
You using your own AC as an Avatar. DO MORE
can we get a share code for that ac avatar ?
This is so ridiculously slick-looking. The animated AC avatar is gorgeously done. I love everything you're doing here with the presentation.
3:31 won best fashion core award though
fantastic video quality and production. Keep on the good work, AC6 needs as much exposure as it can get!
I just love how you edited this and used an IG AC as an animated model to make the video more interesting.
It's really nice. (and the Iguazu angry typing scene made me laugh 🤣)
Thank you, and I'm surprised how many people quickly recognized that it was Iguazu, I thought a lot of people would forget what he looked like 😅
@@VLimit11 believe me, players won't 😀
Finally, a video that talks about From Software's biggest "tree" to date. Root and extended trunk combined.
Cool vid. Old Raven here. AC6 did go big for sure. Biggest yet in the series I’d wager. With the enhanced Assault Boost and increased upward mobility, the player can forget the size of the world as it is easily scalable by a half decent pilot. For me PvP is where the wheat is separated from the chaff. Spectating 2 teams that properly communicate in a party of some sort, can be quite a sight to behold. Even your best build with your best map don’t mean shit if you ain’t ready to strap in for some heart racing, adrenaline pumping, insanity that would give a robot a seizure. I love this game. Looking forward to more of your content. Earned a like and sub.
"If they're gonna say I'm copying Zullie I'm gonna break her ankles and just do the whole damn planet then."
Amazing animations! And I love the narration. "Because I lied". And then, smash the animation. I laughed hard! Thank you so much for your work!
6:05 It's a kilometer taller than a Sh'wada-pattern Supercarrier is long or _barely_ shorter than the Unyielding Hierophant is long.
Yes, the monstrously large Super Shipyard/Battlestation/Command and Control Center/Repair Station/Refit Station that's also capable of supporting a fleet of over 500 capital ships and the Vascular Plant is almost as tall as the Unyielding Hierophant is long.
When talking about big stuff in video games, "Asura's Wrath" always comes to mind. :)
YES, I wanted to mention Wyzen so badly, but I had to limit it to man-made objects to keep the list at the end a manageable size

"You're incorrigible, Handler Walter.."
The quality of the editing and animation, the deep dive into accurate pixel measurements this a an amazing video and you’ve earned a subscriber! Looking forward to what you do next
Wow I adore the humor and visuals for this video. Your lil animated AC avatar is just oozing with charm. And those are just the cherry on top to the well-presented info! Excellent stuff.
Damn, and I thought the models for the Xylem and the PCA Orbital Defense Laser was crazy big.
I have to say yours is my favourite of this series of "AC6 is big" videos. Endless effort in editing, great music choices, amazing IRL comparisons.
Length and height is just as impossible for me to comprehend as for example numbers are for basically anybody. I could never understand how can someone roughly say how far aways A is from B when talking about a long driving session or how far away I live from the train station, etc. After certain point they're insanely over our knowledge.
Damn good break down, had no idea the the planet and the giant coral tower where to scale thats a very very interesting detail.
I just found your channel.. and the content scratches that little itch the geeky & science part of my brain, its so cool!
I cant even begin to imagine how you made those animations. Extremely high quality and well done!!! Good video
my guy, this might be your best video. it's insane to see the progress of your production quality. you clearly put a lot of time and love into your videos. much love and excited to see more
This was so well produced, thank you for walking me through the scale comparisons like the math plebian I am.
I feel like this only added to my understanding and the general conversation in the community.
Plus: It's clear from both Elden Ring and AC6 that From is very serious about expanding scale significantly, which makes me incredibly excited for the future!
This video is so well done, the editing to the visuals is great! I was already really interested in big-mecha-machine game but now I'm really interested, great job!
The edition, animations and lore/IRL accuracity was amazing, i really like this video and i hope you get us more vids like this one, keep up the good work buddy 💯
That butthurt inflatable typing Iguazu was great.
Now to watch the rest of the video. I'm gonna enjoy it, it seems.
Man, you deserve a lot more views. The editing was great, and I love seeing AC6 getting the love it deserves.
Dude, that blueprint AC character is so smoothly animated and engaging. I haven't gotten very far into AC6, but I guess all of these bigger bosses are still largely traversible and open-world like the strider was, which would be fucking sick. There's no better way to display the hyper-capitalism of this universe than to create mind-bogglingly large structures at insane speeds
Dude first vid I've seen of yours and damn your editing is insane! looking forward to what you got cooking next!
Something that would be really intersting to compare to is the grid pillars/platforms. They easily dwarf the strider for example, and some of the missions take place on them entirely.
Loved the animation and easy breakdown. Good stuff!
I did not even flinch when you mentioned a bunch of other people already discussing this subject. Your editing and animation, not to mention narration for the opening and for the whole video made me stay. And subscribed. I'm not really into watching editing and animation on youtube, but yours is probably the best in my opinion. Crazy good work, love your style. Keep it up!
very nice editing and animating the blue AC, its such a great job well done and for have taking my almost 8 mins of time you get 1 sub. you doing great man
Amazing work. Animations are legit studio level here. Hope you get some traction in the algo
Please use more animated mechs! I just saw got recommended this video and the editing is really nice! Epic sub
Yeah, Armored cores are back to AC3 size only a few inches taller than ac3 AC's even though AC6 AC's don't have that many parts in them.
Wonderful editing and animation good sir! Subscribed and looking forward to more videos from you!
Well when fast food corporations are hiring mercenaries to take out their competition, that’s when you know you’ve made it big.
Regardless of size, idk if anyone will ever be able to beat the X-MECH-DONALD'S AC
I dont know if its as big necessarily, but the xenoblade series also has wonderful giant setpieces. Xenoblade 1 has the two main titans of bionis and mechonis, xenoblade 2 has the various titans and the world tree, which is similar in appearance to the vascular plant, and xenoblade 3 has the mechonis sword as a towering landmark. I love games with such a sense of scale and ive been loving my armored core playthrough(s) so far
i like the tid bits of in side science and scale when it comes to games; from openworld scale RUclips channels, to notably how fitting it is to be in Armored Core. subbed!
awesome video, the animation work and how lively you made your representative AC model behave was quite fun to watch, even when it held the PC of elden ring as if it was a toy figure. xD
Armored Core always gave me this strange feeling of being at home in a space not made for me, that is, the perspective of piloting an AC, and that the whole environment around ACs and MTs being design to facilitate their use, as either labor machines or combat.
its also insane to imagine that older AC games happened mostly under ground, stuff like Layered from AC3 having such varied urban parts and even its own ecosystem with forests and seas.
I could imagine an open-world hybird Armored Core game, most likely exclusive to next gen. I say hybrid because it will mostly be like Elden Ring except the garage acts as the Round Table, with the arena function acting much the same way. With the scale of some of these buildings and structures, it will be the most unique open-world experience ever!
the dream game
Maybe we can drive our transport vehicles and deploy as ac when in combat or mission zone
sounds like a great idea, although that takes away the excuse to use vanguard overboost. Still has its uses though.@@abeeocta2599
My jaw dropped at the vascular plant.. like hot damn, FromSoftware really went the extra mile this time around.
Also, I like the little animations of the AC you do, subbed. 🎉
holy shit that's BIG, REALLY REALLY BIG....Colossal!!!
indeed the title is not a joke, hell it's an understatement!
Great video dude. All your effort really shines well
Amazing video, and you bring something fresh to the size comparison. You also didn’t include the city ship Xylem😂 that thing was gargantuan too.
the mention of fully-rendered-to-scale-planets reminds me of how star citizen went balls to the wall with their simulation dimensions, and are working with playable volumes the size of entire solar systems, although none of the ships come close to the absurd scale of the man made stuff in AC6
Loved the video, man. You got a new sub, hoping for more top-tier AC contnet.
The dredge music at the outro was exquisite 👌 also holy fuck this game gets big
Cool video, this games art style and sense of scale have gotten me obsessed, im praying for a DLC/sequel
You're not mad stomp, you're Sane Step.
I remember doing the inspection mission and seeing some cars and trucks all over the place. Took me a minute to realize they're full sized vehicles
The content and the editing in this video are amazing.
I never knew much about AC until I played AC6 and the one thing I started to realize as I played my first playthrough was that these mechs are hella quick for their size. Coming from someone who is a big Warhammer nerd, I equated them to the size of an Imperial Knight and one of the larger versions too
My god, the amount of editing and animation put into this video... 👏👏👏
ngl, got my sub, only thing i could possibly imagine adding to it was showing the satellite laser's size and the good old answerer to have a similar scale of what the largest enemy was in older ACs compared to now(im not 100% sure the answerer was the largest, but it felt like while being bombarded by lasers)
I wanted to cover that (along with the Xylem and most of the minor bosses) but I started scrambling to get this finished once I saw how much work was being done by Zullie on the same topic 😅
I gotta learn how to work faster, since it doesn't feel great cutting corners like that
0:43 I love that keyboard warrior AC.
This video animation is really cool. Great video!
Ignore all those news outlet as this is still a really great and nicely edited video!
Those "news outlet" likes to regurgitate the same topic from RUclipss for easy contents, and this one's the same. All those articles actually talked about Zullie The Witch's video where he/she ported the models to Elden Ring. This also explains the "Ice Worm is The Biggest AC6 Boss!" article from PC Gamer, as Zullie ported Ice Worm first before porting Strider, PCA Satellite, and Xylem.
On the other hand, Zullie usually focuses on using modding tools to take a closure look and checking out cut contents while pondering about its implications, which is a very different approach to this video. If you choose to revisit Armored Core 6 as the topic, I'd say a little collaboration will actually help you as having these steel giants in Elden Ring's human sized environment can give you an even better sense of scale.
I did NOT expect to hear the UNATCO theme in this corner of the internet lol
This is phenomenally well edited. Consider me a fan.
I absolutely love this video. I love the use of an AC for the model and how you move it. And I don't care if other people have made similar videos, I absolutely love Armored Core and will watch different people's takes on the same subject, because they all do things differently and sometimes give different statistics.
there are two reasons why supersonic helicopters are "challenging" to say the least:
1.) The rotor provides up-lift by turning. Lift is dependent on air speed. When you move in a orthogonal direction to the spin axis of the rotor one side is producing more lift, than the other, because rotation speed and travel speed add up. This induces torque and the helicopters wants to roll over. Real helicopters counter this by angeling the blades relative to the position they are in. But even the fastest helicopters only reach 500km/h
2.) Your maximum theoretical topspeed on any propeller aircraft equals the air speed at the tip of your propeller. For a supersonic vehicle it has to be supersonic. But it's a propeller, this means it moves in a circle. This means the tips of the propeller move supersonic and the center area subsonic and in between there is a point that breaks the soundbarrier constantly, producing extreme noise and vibrations and general stress on the vehicle. Don't know how they manage it on a propeller the size of the Titanic.
AWESOME awesome video, as always! well done!
In regards to the clickbait angle regarding popularity, I love seeing a brilliant franchise from my youth (made by one of the handful of developers who haven't become literal avatars of capitalistic greed) explode in relative popularity. The game kicks ass and FromSoft deserves the love.
I wanted to congratute for such a great video, but I just saw you got Vaati´s accolade, so I guess mine will be a bit dwarfed... like the Erdtree vs the vascular plant!! LOL
Nevertheless, you deserve all the comments and likes for it!! You put your own flavor to a topic that was already visited and made it more enjoyable! I loved the AC host for your video!
I appreciate feedback from any and all commenters, it means a lot to me no matter who says it 🙏
Some of the guidelines I follow for video-making to this day were suggested from 1 or 2 comments on some of my oldest work, so trust me when I say I'm thankful for the kind words!
Amazing video, I have subscribed to your channel!
The visual is really good, huge props
I found this video first, so really... It's a good thing you made it
Great vidya bud! Thank you.
"An Armored Core is about as big as a Transformer" is probably the best comparison I've ever heard.
This game was such a great surprise to me !
the fact that you used G5 Iguazu's AC "HEADBRINGER" as the model for when you talked about the people that would flame you for "copying" this content topic is such a perfect little detail xD
the topic might not be new but the PRESENTATION definitely is
The editing is on point.
Very well edited video, no annoying intro, great content!
Another game that comes to mind when doing scaling like this is the Xenosaga series. The mechs you pilot in it are almost as large as an AC and many of the facilities and structures you go through are also massive in scale, only a few being unnecessarily bigger than the vascular plant. I was always fascinated by that and found myself taking time during missions in AC6 standing next to things like stairs and building doors to get a sense of how large an AC was.
I LOVE ANIMATIONS ON TWOS GRAHHHH !
nvm Metric system.........
Yoooo these edits are amazing
It's funny that you bring up the Death Star at the end there because there's been a few looks at how making one would go and it would use more steel than there is on Earth.
Shrek: do you think he is compensating for something?
Great video man. You earned a like and a subscribe from me. Keep up the good work!!
Cool video I’ve been playing the game and wondering how big my AC was. I compared it to a building and it was three stories!! So interesting when put into perspective.
Love that mecha little animations
