This is a lesson on how to film impressive mecha sci-fi such as this one. It feels like for every shot, the directors asked themselves "if this was really happening, and we were filming it with real cameras, how would we do that ?". So the POV is always close to the ground, at human height, or looks like it was filmed on a helicopter, or that the camera was locked onto a vehicle or mech. And when the subect of the shot is moving very fast or very far away from the ground, they film it with a very long focal length, like the camera is far away and had to zoom a lot to capture it.
This intro as yet to be beat as the best one so far tho. Like for real, its a testatment to the teams required in the background to make those hulking robot fight like they do (the support crews around them) there's the detail take off and ordnance segments ... like every freaking little details are just marvelous.
White Glint is actually one of the original Raven models which has been taken an hybridization of the original AC system combined with the NEXT system.
The opening mission in AC6 has a launch cinematic that's almost certainly a callback to this one. Your AC even does the same ready pose as White Glint.
This is one of the best cinematic I've seen in my gaming life, it made me buy that game. White Glint has such a cool design and I liked how they did the boosters.
Would never work as a movie. The plot would work better as a slow burn poltical thriller with environmentalist undertones. But Gundam kinda already does that. The only difference I suppose would be that armored core is more grounded as far as super mechs go.
It wouldn’t work with silent protagonists, unless they shot it ultra noir style with zero dialogue except from a virtual waifu. You’d also have cast Ryan gosling as Anatolia’s merc which wouldn’t be cheap.
and 4 still can't top 1-3 lol Where we feel more immerse in our mech and mission. 4 just feels like you're on steroid boosting every direction. You don't get that skills maneuvering anymore. 5 was another step back, you can't even boost and fly anymore lol Don't get me wrong, I'm a veteran AC guy. I still enjoy em all. I'm just glad 6 is well balance between 1-3 and a little bit of 4.
3:08 this, this right here, is what armored core 6 needs to have as a mod, a white glint head part that when using assault armor or pulse armor, has that metal visor close over the cameras or whatever those are.
I hope AC6 is so popular that they remaster this. I want to play this game again so bad but I don't want to dust off my PS3 and play at a bad framerate...
If someone invents a time machine, they NEED to send this video back to about 20 years ago!! I'd say governments would be fooled into thinking it real and start work on giant mech production immediately!!! :D
Me, a dumb kid 12 years ago: WTF why this game so hard this is stupid I hate it Me, a Soulsborne player now: God I wish I could play For Answer again I never properly appreciated it at the time
You know, I've been doing some thinking about this intro. Why did he purge his missiles after only 1 shot, then drop 1 of his rifles, then use his assault armor when there was no enemies around and he was about to get hit with a volley of the missiles and cannon fire?
All the answers i could find was: 1The missiles could be of single use 2He didnt drop the rifleit felt from his hand 3If i recall right Primal Armor destroys any in coming projectiles/lazer so...yeah an protective measure
@@eathr349 know what scratch what i said earlier the primal armor is because of the small Normals(wich idk the name it may he MT but i am unsure) that are aproaching him...yeah if u look correctly u can see MTs walking towards White Glint once hes on the ground
Actually there are enemies nearby White Glint like literally coming straight at him if you look closely when hes about to use the primal armor,he didnt "drop" his rifle on purpose...about the missiles,iam unsure if he purged em
Nitpicks: 2:31 The mech on the far right is clearly firing, but no shot is heard. However someone decided to leave the stepping sound of the mech on the left. 2:40 There are vapor trails behind to indicate something is shooting at lil glint. Yet someone decided to put in the engine white glint in, but decide to leave out the enemy's gun noises. 2:49 RIP Camera guy. 2:53 Where the hell is this shot coming from? And that's just actual mistakes. Someone in this studio absolutely sucks at doing his/her job and it's not the CGI animator.
Yep. All nitpicks. The last part where Glint gets shot, could’ve been from anything. I think this intro was okay. But Fromsoft had never intended on doing any actual directing in their AC intros. It’s just to show off the cool AC’s to get players interested. Even if they make silly “errors.” That’s what I think, anyway The juicy part is the gameplay itself. Though I have to say, my favorite intros are Master of Arena, Nexus and Last Raven. The Souls games had actual directing in their intros.
I was thinking the same thing I always think when I see AC intros: What the hell is happening? It's always just a nonsensical video of robots fighting like crazy, how about actually have a coherent plot, even if it would be a short one it would still be something.
AC5 wasn't that bad. Well it felt more like a build up to Verdict Day. But them suddenly slowing down the gameplay from the insane high-octane fast gameplay of For Answer to V was just too much. I feel like AC5 would have done better if it didn't have the name, but as a different game ip.
News flash, the intro is CG. And unfortunately, the in-game engine was marginal when it was used in AC4 back in '07, so now it just can't hold up to MGS4 or the other standard bearers. (not to say AC series isn't fun [cause it is], it just has dated graphics)
This is what Armored Core represents. You spend hours customize it, then go to mission, you still got bullet holes in you.
Let us pour out a drink for the Ravens that couldnt live to see AC6 come to fruition. Suit up, Ravens
6 is gonna be trash compare to this one
@@votpavel You haven't even played the game yet lol Why so ignorant? 4-5 was the worst one in the series, but I still enjoyed it here and there.
@@astraiza alot of new games arent as good as the old ones, now with shoving dark souls into everything, it might change it for the worse.
Well more like " bag up"
@votpavel I don’t get why people like for answer so much it is literally just AC3 but everything is SUPER easy and fast as hell
It's undeniable that Line Ark's White Glint is one of the coolest mecha ever created
yeah the design is genius. it looks incredible
ACFA was way ahead of its time...i would not mind a remaster of this game.
Could you imagine getting a PC release for this game? I’d insta buy it just to relive the joy I got from playing this game.
@@lemonlefleur6236 Same. This game would definitely be worth it. The PC potential would be endless.
SocioStinger206 I can only imagine all the beautiful things people could do with mods
Imagine this game, but with good frame rate. Take my money Fromsoft
No you mean a remake remaster would not do this game justice

Yeah, its so good, very realistic and grounded camera work. Makes it seem very believable, kinda reminds me of top gun.
I hadn’t actually considered the scale of the weapons these things use, but seeing that gun get brought in by a helicopter was eye opening 😂
Right?!
Yeah like just a mech handgun is the size of a car
"Pray for Answer" right after seeing all those cannons fire might be the hardest line in a Fromsoft game
Especially the loud af whistling of the rockets that make this scene feel so close to reality. A philosophical masterpiece.
This intro as yet to be beat as the best one so far tho.
Like for real, its a testatment to the teams required in the background to make those hulking robot fight like they do (the support crews around them)
there's the detail take off and ordnance segments ... like every freaking little details are just marvelous.
After all these years, it still gives me chills! 🥺
For real broooo, I hope they port it to Xbox one or PC
@@gavin3541 well I’m sure you already know but we got a new one for most consoles and pc. 🎉
Who's here after the announcements? It's time to suit up again Ravens...
The fact that the camera gets bulletholes at 2:48 is a testament to the team behind this intro.
it's barely ever visible but it is just such a fun little detail
pov you finish a mission in dmc 5
From these cinders of a forgotten franchise arises another
probably one of the best opening cinematics of all times
I just noticed they even had a shockwave in when WG broke the sound barrier. 2:12
The Virgin strider vs the Chad spirit of motherwill
Yup, all those new Ravens impressed with the scale and power of the Strider, you've never seen an Arms Fort.
"Built to fail" either way if you ask me..
Arguably, my favorite of the series. The speed of the NEXT ACs just speaks to me.
The Speed of the NEXT is freaking ridiculous
White glint pilot is monster .
White Glint is actually one of the original Raven models which has been taken an hybridization of the original AC system combined with the NEXT system.
The opening mission in AC6 has a launch cinematic that's almost certainly a callback to this one. Your AC even does the same ready pose as White Glint.
I think it's sort of a general homage to Gundam, since that's the way they launch mobile suits in that franchise
AC6 announced today.. It's been a long 15 years
I remember when i was 14 and watching this clip on the corners of the game shop and i was like " Oh My Gaaawwwddd"
Just here in 2022 getting prepped for AC6, trying to contain myself....LOL
the CG quality is still great as I remember, after more than 10 years!
this intro give me the chills every time, its just Epic.
Let's go boy's, AC6 ! can't wait ! rewatching this intro make me happy right now
BRO I KNOW, MY BODY IS SO READY
Same im gonna be streaming it once it releases next month
This is one of the best cinematic I've seen in my gaming life, it made me buy that game. White Glint has such a cool design and I liked how they did the boosters.
To the Ravens, who were Lynxs, now hounds.
Long live Armored Core.
Drink deep.
Can we have a AC movie now
Would never work as a movie. The plot would work better as a slow burn poltical thriller with environmentalist undertones. But Gundam kinda already does that. The only difference I suppose would be that armored core is more grounded as far as super mechs go.
It wouldn’t work with silent protagonists, unless they shot it ultra noir style with zero dialogue except from a virtual waifu. You’d also have cast Ryan gosling as Anatolia’s merc which wouldn’t be cheap.

Keanu Reaves, John Rubicon a face for the machine.
ITS TIME
The perfection of 4 Answer. Not even verdict beats this.

I'm just glad 6 is well balance between 1-3 and a little bit of 4.
For answer was so fast paced I loved it 😎
Still come back to this epic opening
My favorite mission, spirit of motherwill is one hell of a run .
This desperately needs a remaster by from software themselves and they really need to give us a new armored core game
Is coming bro, ARMORED CORE 6 is official 🤣 im too happy, its going to launch in every system :D
Good news y'all, AC6 hits harder than my dad
Best CGI I've seen up until now, even Blizzard can suck it.
Well there are better ones
@Ornithocheirus 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was the first shot of Demon's Souls intro a callback to the helicopter at 0:55 ?
That'd be really cool, if so.
Lol I see the resemblance
There has never been or ever will be a game that will pull as hard as armored core! This game brings out some masculine urges and euphoria!
best game from software has made, including every Souls title
3:08 this, this right here, is what armored core 6 needs to have as a mod, a white glint head part that when using assault armor or pulse armor, has that metal visor close over the cameras or whatever those are.
Those are the cameras/scanners
Still love this game and the series
The smoke in this movie is absolute same. It's almost real
Armored Core is back baby!!!
The time has come
i believe its the white glint first try to take down mother earth
I hope AC6 is so popular that they remaster this. I want to play this game again so bad but I don't want to dust off my PS3 and play at a bad framerate...
Holy graphics, Batman!
Missile launch 2:14 and explosion 2:54 sfx used in Chromehounds, never forget ToT.
Why am I just finding out about this?!
best armored core game bar none
If From announced an Armored Core title for PS5 I would risk it all.
You got your wish.
Not only PS5 but steam as well. Happy now ?
Guess what
Just make sure you play AC6 before you risk it all! Wish granted.
Ready to risk it all?
It's here again boys. Enjoy.
If someone invents a time machine, they NEED to send this video back to about 20 years ago!! I'd say governments would be fooled into thinking it real and start work on giant mech production immediately!!! :D
just make sure not to send it to Hitler.
@@HendriS_1707 Bruh if Hitler tried to make these mechs he'd have no funds left to fight WWII after all those prototype tanks and planes.
Pray..
They bring back the Karasaw rifle!
Best game i ever played on X360
best mecha game ever
id like to see them make a ac that looks as close to this video as possible
Perfection.
Finally AC6 Is back follow the concept from for answer
Hopefully. I rlly hope they don't go super grounded & slow
@@nessy3338 +1 AC5 is trash 🗑️ no matter game play style or graphic but yeah why AC4 and for answer were amazing? They all director by Miyazaki
VOB whizzes by:
Me: "Is that a missile?!"
*Zig Zagging intensifies*
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the area shown at 2:31 the same place Berlioz attacked in 4's intro?
Me, a dumb kid 12 years ago: WTF why this game so hard this is stupid I hate it
Me, a Soulsborne player now: God I wish I could play For Answer again I never properly appreciated it at the time
I know From Software is busy making Souls games, but can we get back to some good ol Mech porn again?!
I wish they made a new armored core. I need my fix.
Daemon X Machina. Same devs and mech designer
Why does this look better than AC6?
Because it’s pre-rendered
HD, very cool and it was uploaded on my birthday. This merits a favorite.
You're 10 years older now, what's up?
PRAY FOR AC6
Your prayer has been answered.
I want to see who wins in a death battle. White Glint vs The Doomslayer.
You're so damn right...
When you cast and crew Shorikai Genesis Engine~

Whelp I need to try an AC game before AC6 comes out so I guess it will be this one
especailly in hard mode :D
the best game that I've ever played but it's hard to control your robot
That's what made it so satisfying once you're good
FS, please give AC the same love as DS and bring a game into the current gen :)
Best trailer ever
Come on From Software Where's my Armored Core 6??
I actually extracted it as close to flawless as I could get it
800MBs lol
I wonder if youtube is up to par...
From soft really made a dark souls with mecha, and I knew AC before DS lmao
Would someone, anyone please make a game like this one!?
I would do it myself, but I'm too stupid!
FromSoft's got you covered bro
This is so beautiful looking jesus
New AC les focking GO
I like how the AC lands on the deck and gets immediately wrecked! Hilarious.
Except he didnt wreck
I made a version of this with the fart reverb. my work is done.
Will FromSoft bring us Amrored Core 6!!!?!??!?
Yes they did it, search for the trailer :D
I think they have been in secret.....
Still cant believe its not backward compatible, why?
Мы тут
I wish From would do what they need to do to backwards compatible this. I have the cd! Just let me play already!!!
Epic

wow, this is a CGI. thumbs up
The Spirit of motherwill is the name of the giant walking fort
Cuts to black- “the Navy Reserves”
is this newer than armored core 4?
Please from soft don't stray away from this kind of gameplay, I hated the multiplayer release of armored core, it didn't feel the same.
I was thinking the same thing I always think when I see AC intros: What the hell is happening?
It's always just a nonsensical video of robots fighting like crazy, how about actually have a coherent plot, even if it would be a short one it would still be something.
does porn often have a plot?
No matter how many times I see this, I will always cry in the inside.
Armored Core 5 SUCKS BALLS!
ACFA FOREVER!
I keep trying to find a copy of 4A at my local game shop but i cant find any
Best game in the series, too bad they fucked it up so bad with AC5 and killed it.
AC5 wasn't that bad. Well it felt more like a build up to Verdict Day.

too damn bad that From will never make another AC game, just too much money in boring generic dark fantasy world with bad difficulty scaling. sigh
