When is FROMsoft going to stop making demons souls over and over again and make another armored core?
I hope they use all that souls money to make a great Armored Core. never ever
The last one came out in late 2013.
Miyazaki's most recent statement from an interview is that he thinks of dark fantasy and mecha as From's two staples and that he wouldn't mind doing another one. Plus he doesn't hate it, no idea why people think this.
There, now be patient.
>>286785539
>When is FROMsoft going to stop making demons souls over and over again and make another armored core?
When people stop buying them.
Also the most recent installments of AC weren't that great, so don't expect anything even if it happens.
God I love armored core. V and Vday kinda sucked but I've always loved the series as a whole.
>>286785539
Considering how much shit V and VD are, maybe its better to leave the series dead
>>286786404
I don't know why they went with and online focus on those two games. Even the customization options were kinda watered down.
>>286786156
but 4 was fuckin rad as fuck holy fuck
>>286786786
I was referring to V and VD.
Also For Answer was better.
>>286785539
I have Last raven and another armored core game that actally came with to of them. Cant remember what it was called atm because i'm out of the house atm.
I really love mechs but i suck ass at AC. How do i git gud?
>>286786642
They did because "online gaming age".
its not a bad thing per se, but they did a fucking mess by watering down all the missions. plus the whole factions thing is really weak sauce.
the main problems of VD are the boring missions and the damage type triangle system.
>>286786786
4 and 4A are the only ones I didn't play
>>286787292
*two
Oopsie
>>286787292
you git gud
Last Raven is bullshit hard though, play another one
3 and Silent Line are the best to start
>>286787314
4 was basically like combining Murakumo with Armored Core.
really fast intense action
Would it be wrong to have From do a Gundam game?
>>286785965
they released VD during the same week as GTA V / destiny / dark souls 2 dlc / shadow of mordor / ultimax
It's like they literally don't give a shit
>>286785539
Not too soon, probably. There'll be another one in time, I'm sure. Hopefully it's not exclusive to PS4, though. We gotta share the mecha.
>>286787619
Just saying.
Well anyways, if Miyazaki is going to do another one, it's most likely going to be similar to 4A.
4 was wasn't that great tho
>20 second long missions
>>286787619
>implying Ultimax is relevant
>>286787587
Gundam is so fucking boring for a series about giant robots. The designs are shit too.
man I hated armored core V. went from for answer to V and went from, HIGH SPEED COMBAT AND WHITE GLINT KILL YOURSELF to, I'm a very very very slow robot please use tank treads and four legs XD
>>286787587
They already did a gundam unicorn game.
>>286786156
I had a lot of fun with V and VD
manly tears actually dominated the territory for a few weeks, at one point every territory had the MSF logo on it
/m/ had a pretty good little company during VD's launch
I still play the japanese VD occasionally
>>286787727
VD not only have twenty seconds long missions, but they're also all the same, and piloting is awkward as fuck. this said by someone that started playing with Another Age, one of the hardest of the series
>>286787761
>a popular jappo game releasing the same time as a niche jappo game isn't relevant
>>286787797
you could rape any tank tread AC tryhard with a light mech and a pile driver
hell even just set up a UNAC to melee
Now I want a new AC and Tenchu game on PS4 ;_;
>>286787998
See, I said it wasn't relevant because the game isn't very popular. Seriously. It's a pretty small community.
>>286788004
>with a light mech and a pile driver
Autocannon
karasawa
you should had played more. light ACs are shit in VD
>>286787959
THE ENTIRE GAME WAS 20 SECOND LONG MISSIONS
>>286788157
see >>286785965
To add to that, Miyazaki feels the company is a bit too "Western" right now and wants to do more Jap shit additionally to what they're doing now, like Tenchu.
>>286788187
>not being able to out turn a tank
cmon m8
>>286787797
it was better when they kept the slow paced action in chromehounds as its own separate thing.
From Software literally has too many good ideas and not enough manpower.
Armored Core
Chromehounds
Otogi
Dark Souls
Another Century's Episode
so much shit and all they can afford to do is like 1 game at a time which takes years and years.
>>286786404
>V and VD
>bad
This is bait
WHICH ARMORED CORE DO I START WITH FUCK
>>286788395
>Chromehounds is dead
>MAV is shit and empty
Why is the world so unjust?
>>286788187
let's agree to disagree
every match I played with a loadout meant for farming the ultimate weapons was pretty much a free win for me
>>286788395
They can't make a new chromehounds, Sega owns it. ACFA was more of a callback to ACE games and macross, and VD was a callback to chromehounds and Metal Wolf.
>>286785539
As soon as Kojima stops making MGS over and over again and makes ZoE3
[dpoiler] so probably never.
>We will never get a Gundam One-Year War adaption with an actual storyline baller as fuck gameplay and Char
>>286788505
2 or 3 then their subsequent expansions
If I were to buy one armored core game, which one should it be? number 5? for answer? a different one?
>>286788492
>meme
the people of the /vg/ ac thread is here I guess
well at least we managed to talk like normal peole for a bit
>>286788505
almost any ps2 title
VD if you want the most active player base, which is to say barely any player base at all
almost every title features what makes AC good, the autistic levels of customization
balance and combat changes a bit from title to title
>>286785539
I want a new AC too on this new gen...
ACV was ok, but I liked more 4 and 4A. Fast-mechs are awesome
>>286785539
V and VD sucked ass and sold like shit.
AC was niche to begin with and those two just buried it.
Souls is selling like hotcakes on the other hand.
>>286788709
whatever happened to that gundam teaser during ps4 launch?
kind of assumed it was just going to be a fighting game
>>286788920
>gundam fighting game
What.
>>286788754
If you want from PS3/Xbox360 then pick 4 or 4A.
If you like it more strategic/slow, take ACV
Anyways I would sart with 4, unless you want to play the classic ones just as The Last Raven and stuff.
>>286785539
You mean, "Go back to making Armored Core over and over again"
>>286788875
Nah V and VD are great games, you are just a casual.
>>286788969
There's already like 5 of them.
>>286788875
>implying vd was bad
>>286785539
Probably never. One of my favorite franchises died like a bitch when they decided to go full retard with the latest two installments.

It's basically like Gundam Extreme vs. + Gundam Build Fighters
>>286788754
most people say start with 3. that's a good one to start with, but i don't think there's anything wrong with going for any ps1-ps2 title except ninebreaker, nexus, and last raven.
ignore formula front
>>286788969
I haven't researched or read up on it at all
I just remember seeing a gundam teaser
the original teaser literally just had the word gundam in it and rx78-2's head
https://youtu.be/HyaEmU1Ca2w
tried to look it up and got a new teaser I haven't seen before
https://youtu.be/Ek1MFRBsSxg

Nah
>>286789181
>except ninebreaker, nexus, and last raven.
>nexus, and last raven.
Last Raven is easily the best one. Best of both worlds in terms of control and challenge. A true final hurrah for the series and a love letter to hardcore fans.
>>286789251
V was an amazing game, deal with it.
>>286789387
And not best for a first experience.
>>286785539
>Armored Core series returns to 4's speed/maneuverability

There are men who dare to dream of a better future even in the face of a hostile world, my friend. If I win the lottery, I'll hire them to make it. Nobody except me will buy it, but it'll exist and that's all that matters.
>>286785539

Why would they do that? It's a goldmine.
>over and over again

>>286789387
NX, NB, LR are great games but not very beginner friendly and are pretty bad place to start if you have never touched the series before.
>>286789387
That's the issue, if you tell new people to start on the hardest fucking game in the series, what do you think is going to happen?
>>286789578
>>286789620
>>286789642I misread the post, sorry. I agree with all of you, it's definitely not suited as a starting game.
AC: Nexus was the pinnacle of AC

They did it because otherwise they wouldn't get a publisher. Armored Core has been around for 2 decades now and sales and reviews are usually shit.
>>286789082
>>286789058
>if you're not brand loyal and like V/VD even if its possibly the worst AC up to date you're a casual
>armored core players are most of the times into the series since PS2 games
you guys are just faggots. if there's someone that can be a casual is the people sticking to the last installment just because there's a vague online activity, when the game itself is definitely below average in design
>>286789470
I'm curious to know what makes you say so, apart pvp
because it works, I mean, not that its good
>>286789806
I see LR and Nexus as a one whole package. Seeing how they're both similar and even connected with their storyline.
>>286785539
>Armored Core
Fuck you and tell them to make me another Chromehounds, or anything else before the Souls games.
>>286789965
Don't forget Nine Breaker. it was fun in its own way
>>286787587
Fuck that, I want a Gurren Lagann game.
>>286790034
Well yeah, but it's arena only so I guess it's recommended to play it between those two as a filler.
>>286787619
Are you saying AC competes with any of those games? It really doesn't.
>>286790116
Kinda late uh. at best you can get a Cross Ange or Aldnoah one now.
>>286789965
Haven't played Last Raven, but I should. ACs from Nexus and earlier have never disappointed me. If there's a game sorely needing a remaster for the PS3 or an updated PC release, it's NExus. Holy shit, that metric fuckton of content. I still can't believe it after all these years.
And then when I got my PS3, eager to continue my obsession with tinkering and making ACs... I played $A and wow, it's fucking nothing. A handful of missions and when you beat the storylines, ALL PARTS GET AUTOMATICALLY BOUGHT and the arena I beat within an hour of starting the game. Not even any incentive to repeat missions with varied tactics to earn enough money to buy parts, you just get given them.
Traded it in for store credit and haven't tested my luck with V or VD.
>>286790262
>Cross Ange
Nigga, that shit ain't going anywhere and good thing too.
>Aldnoah
That died too.
>>286789932
I've played AC since AC2, completed every game except the original, and I like VD more than 4 or FA.
You know its just a matter of time.
>>286787774
>Dissing Nu-Gundam
I'll fight you m9
>>286790305
Skip V try VD at least.
Yeah LR is like the final etapa for the ps2 era and it's done well for what it is.
>>286790262
I know I'm late, but fuck, imagine how good a TTGL-themed Armored Core would be.
>Taku Iwasaki takes over the soundtrack

>>286790257
You're joking right? GTA V hype sucked up the entire goddamn gaming community, then you had FIFA that same week. Are you trying to pretend that people don't enjoy more than one genre?
I've met people who love AC and didn't know VD came out.
>>286790490
He's right, stop with the fucking gendums
we need more cool shit like Hygogg and Shamblo
>>286790452
When will from finally make a sequel this, murakumo, andcookie and cream?
I'm sure armored to the core **for answers**
>>286790651
The Shamblo reminds me of the Chrome Dragon. Both creep me the fuck out.
>V & VD
>getting hard on for multiplayer focus
Yeah, fuck you too.I know they had to do it, but still, fuck that.
>>286790519
I heard one is focused on single player, one is Multiplayer (aka: it's only played by asians with Super Saiyan-tier reflexes).
I want single player enjoyment and content.
>>286790257
That was my point
FROM released it at probably the worst time in history from the last decade
>tfw there will never be an Armored Core X KanColle game
Least they can do is put AC6 on pc.they confirmed ac6 will come after bloodborne
>>286791181
He's saying that they don't compete because they have different audiences.
>>286791259
Who gives a fucking shit about KanColle.
The only characters that I would have remotely interest into playing as or waifuing are the Abyssal Fleet but even then I can't. Fucking japs and their shittaste.
>>286785539
Souls games shit money. AC games dont.besides they are mediocre at best. They are only good because there are sooooo few good mech games. Its a starved genre that licks up scraps when we get em'
>>286791259
>they confirmed ac6 will come after bloodborne
How bout you give me a source on that one, anon.
>>286790862
V is barebones and it was only there for couple of multiplayer sessions and then it died.
VD kinda went back to get some of that singleplayer content but it's still wasn't fully there like in the other games. Multiplayer is still there in some aspect, even if it's on life support. I think the /vg/ threads are still active.
Again it's like a weird mixup of FA with some elements from the older games. Using terrain awareness and slower speed.
Try it just in case seeing how people either prefer VD or FA. I personally liked 4/FA way of rebooting and evolving things and see V/VD as unnecessary but still it's just a personal preference.
>>286791259
>>tfw there will never be an Armored Core X KanColle game
Good. Take your kancer and fuck off.
If they released another multiplayer based one like V/VD, I would rather see it on PC at this point, I can't think about trying to handle clans on PS3/PS4 anymore from how much of a fucking mess clan battles was to set up.
>>286791631
>Implying it wouldnt be goty and sell much more than any other AC game
>>286791473
you're not wrong, unfortunately
strike suit zero wasn't bad, but it was more of a space combat game
hawken and perpetuum were pretty big letdowns
haven't played nimbus yet, wouldn't buy an early access game
there's a couple cybernator clones which are fun, a couple shmups (gunhound ex / gigantic army / astebreed )
mecha ace is a goddamn VN that could have been made in excel
>>286791259
Lets assume Bloodborne sells like hot cakes, do you guys think there is a chance that FromSoftware would use the money to make their dream AC and publish it on their own?
I can't imagine any publisher financing another AC after the failure that V/VD was
>>286792128

I don't give a shit what hoops need to be jumped, make another chromehounds.
>>286792190
it would be nice if bandai split up FROM
like FROM north or some shit that does the yearly souls game
FROM/Bandai that makes all the vanity titles
>>286792130dedenden is okay
>>286792274
>any AC art that doesn't have them drawn to spec
I HATE IT
>>286792426
But From is owned by Kadokawa games, BAMCO never owned them and only acted as publisher for several of their games.
You know, I never felt like I was playing AC 'right'
I felt like they wanted me to build a speed-machine that would tear across the skies
I always went for the biggest, heaviest fucker I could make.

There's such a huge absence of good mech(a) games on the market now that if FROM put some effort into a new AC game, it would undoubtedly do well, especially if they put it up on Steam

I'll try it if I find it on bargain. I won't make a real effort in getting it since I'm not that eager to risk being burned by it again.
Just want a nice PS3 version of Nexus since muh toaster can't emulate for shit and my Ps2 is on its last legs.
>>286792865

>>286793439
I soloed the entire arena in almost every game I played with a tank legged heavy mofo. Dual wielding Karasawa and them energy consumption laser cannons you get as a shoulder unit.
Literally useless for any mission since it can barely move but in the arena couple of those shots while standing still and they all went down like flies. Essential to have those extensions where they refill your energy though.

>>286788291
Source? Sound like damage control because his new owner Kadokawa ONLY does moe things.
The normalfags tears will be delicious. I also want a new Armored Core but both that and the Souls might be dead because no one know what Kadokawa plan to do with From. I think they already announced a new RPG but since it has anime style key art no one in west gave any fucks about it.
I remember in Master of Arena, I created a Gundam Wing custom list. There was a how-to on Gamefaqs (probably still there) on how to build the GW Gundams so I set out to do that while also modifying their AI with how they behave in the anime.
I couldn't fucking beat the first one, Tallgeese, cause he behaved TOO MUCH LIKE HIS ANIME COUNTERPART (superfast airborne artillery with a shoulder-fired grenade launcher).
I had to actually choose the parking lot arena to be able to even get a lock-on the fucker, due to a low ceiling.

>>286788963
>Somebody else likes nine breaker

>>286794850

>>286794850
Big stompy robots.
AC was the COD of mech games. There was a period when it had a yearly release schedule. ACfags should be ashamed to even ask for a new one so soon as there were more 7th gen AC games than Soul titles. Only games From should consider making is a new Tenchu or King's Field.
>>286794850
Transformers, and giant robots bigger than the average AC, and playable Nineball Seraph.
>>286795283
I'm sorry.
>>286794850
ACFA with better melee system and less stiff mechs
They should keep ACV's mech size.
They should take notes of the Souls and make the game singleplayer focused again, because it's unplayable as a multi focused game due to low number of players anyway, and total shit to boot.
1000% agree with OP im a huge fan of AC and i hope to see the saga back on PS4
>>286795283
>From should consider making is a new Tenchu or King's Field.
From has never actually made a Tenchu game just published them and isn't Dark Souls basically a 3rd person successor to King's Field?
>>286796075
If it does happen it will be on both Xboner and ps4.
>>286795283
>AC faggots will ignore this
>>286794850

>>286796375

>Talk about their others works such as King's Field, Otogi and Tenchu

;_;
Look forword to see them saying Souls/Bloodborne was never good anyway as soon From start working on Kancolle.
>>286796706
System Shock confirmed for 5 games in the series. If you're actually being serious, there's 4.
>>286796785
>Kancolle
Jesus Christ, fuck off already.
>>286796918
What?
Miyazaki himself mentioned it. Like it or not, From is owned by Kadokawa now. They won't make a Kancolle game obviously, that's mostly a joke, but whatever they'll do will looks like it.
I remember getting Nexus a long time ago, but always hated Armored Core for how hard it is/felt to me.
>Get wrecked in every match
>switch up equipment and parts a ton
>can't finish a mission without fucking up something
I still kept trying though, because I like the story, being a mercenary, and I only watch /m/.
I made it to the end, but Nineball wrecked my ass perfectly, and I gave up.I've always felt like a complete loser playing AC, and I've always wanted to ask how to git gud, but the few times I've asked, the fanbase gets really hostile.
I got Dark Souls about two weeks ago, and I think it's leagues easier than AC
>>286797841
Same with me, and I'm an AC veteran. I would spend ages tweaking ACs and going full Mechanic on them but when it comes to actually playing the game, I was always pretty fucking shit. I frequently had to rely on a heavy killdozer AC loaded with stupidly OP weapons to get by many spots.
I simply cannot move and aim at the same time, especially with most of the enemies being fast and airborne. I would think Mouse and Keyboard would seriously make AC combat fun as hell.
>>286796339
They own the rights to the IP. So it's up to them if there should be a new one
>>286797841
I started with LR, got my ass ravaged by Bolt couple of times and then ragequit for like a year.
When I came back I went into it with patience and calmness. I was beating Evangel and Pulverizers with only laser hand units, OB and booster enhancers in no time. You just need to get into the control scheme and find setups that work for you. Also, adapt to your enemies and missions.
After that I went over Nexus and NB but when I started playing 3/SL I got shitfaced since I got used to analog control scheme. It threw me off at first but once you get used to it it's pretty simple too.
>>286797841
What are you having problems with?

> I would spend ages tweaking ACs and going full Mechanic on them but when it comes to actually playing the game, I was always pretty fucking shit
Holy shit this.

I have trouble hitting most of the time, and waste precious resources. I hated most of the flying enemies.

Didn't Verdict Day confirm that the V universe was the far future of For Answer, what with J and White Glint and all? I could be wrong I just swear that that happened.
Mandatory 4A MAD that should go in every thread.

40 minutes? Man, I'd spoend entire afternoons just writing down stats, comparing parts and doing performance and battle tests, like I'm some workaholic engineer in the hangar. Funnest part of AC, bar none. All dem stats, nigguh!
>>286799008
Are there people online on Verdict day? I only have 5.
>>286798849
It mostly getting the AC to higher levels I think
I'll mess around with combinations and try to go for something that emphasizes speed and offense. I got certain areas to peak, but it doesn't feel like I've made any progress.
Sometimes I think the AC turns too slow or I have trouble locking on to enemies trying to use back missles and the like. I end up spraying bullets with moderate to little success. I also tend to favor bullets to lasers because the AC overheats too quickly as it is.
I know I probably sound like a complete moron, but yeah.I beat Evangel twice because he got stuck in the wall

>heading an armored core game
No, i want an actually good armored core like all the others
>>286799429
I actually wanted to get back into it, but I'm pretty shit so eh. I don't see anyone else online ever tho.
>>286798708
Honestly I would rather see new a Shinobido game on PS4 but that's a dead series as well.
I actually enjoyed 4 more than 4A. I don't fucking know why, maybe its because 4 was the first AC game I had played in like a decade but that's where my chips fall.
>>286787292
Nexus? Play that first, you can load your AC into Last Raven afterwards. And LR is stupidly tough.
Last Raven was last good AC game. 4 simplified too much things and turned game into full animuu.
Sadly, any continuation would mean following steps of V, which would suck.
>>286799934
Not it doesn't.
>>286799934
Agreed
>>286796918
What's wrong anon?
>>286798790
I'm impressed that you started the series with LR and managed to get through it. It was pretty clearly aimed at veterans of the series with its complexity and sheer difficulty. Even some of the first few missions are fairly demanding, and some of the possible final missions are just absurd.
>>286785539
Are there even any good mech games anymore?
>>286799934
Came in to say this
>>286800272
They're a product of the past now, but I keep holding hope that they'll rise again.
Off the top of my head, there are some new Gundam games coming out and Cross Ange has a game coming to Vita
>>286800272
NCSoft makes something called "Project HON", but so far all they released was cinematic trailer (hinting that it did contain parts of gameplay, but very unlikely), they screwed enough by killing Exteel and any fans attempt to create unofficial sequel and its bloody NCSoft!
No idea about this Nimbus, since all gameplay videos I saw suggest pretty much full aerial combat, something closer to jet fights than mecha.
>>286799528
Is it just the AC fights your having trouble with? A lot of it is situational. If you're going after a lot of fast moving airborne MTs, you want missiles or a gun that shoots high velocity ammo. Generally you want to be at the same altitude and as the airborne targets and in front or behind the direction they're moving when using bullets or lasers, so you would need a build with decent flight time.
>>286800272
Naw, only mediocre shooters with shitty mech-paintjob
>>286801067
Yes, we have board for video games - called /v/. You are here right now.
>>286801067
>>286801067
I don't know, why aren't you still at /b/ shit posting and being oblivious?
>>286800921
Sounds like a plan. I kept changing parts to get a better sustaining boost time. Mild Success
The AC fights are 50/50. Some are balls hard, while others die in seconds.
I remember some guy who had 18th rank. ( a browish tank with radar-jamming), and I killed him in 26 seconds flat

>>286800265
It was way back and I was borderline retarded. I had to choose to get either Nexus, NB or LR.
Went with LR because I thought it's the best one for the wrong reason. My logic was newest = most perfected. I was new to the series.
I went trough arena with ease using a cheap tank legged AC with stationary fire "strategy". I also grinded couple of times the easiest route (damaged Jack-O) and then went to tri Leviathan and normal Leviathan endings. After that was a breeze with missile massacring the Pulverizers and double shelling Zinaida.
After I got good and got that last raven emblem by defeating every boss AC I went to play NB and Nexus and then the others. One of these days I need to get back to LR to fight that ultimate Archangel pulverizer secret boss. I didn't even knew it existed.

It takes like five fucking seconds to google Armored Core.
Since we have AC thread - whats the best setup for controls in PSP remakes?
I mean, I have to admit that I never managed to defeat last VR arena opponent. No idea how he was in PS2 version, but on PSP he was full aerial and aimed like with mouse. If I would like to try again, I kinda want to be better prepared.
>>286801673
I bet he mixed us up with Muv Luv
>>286799934
>4 simplified too much things and turned game into full animuu.
AC4 suffered from overpowered boosters, the game-mechanics were fine and in my opinion superior to the PS2 games.
It would have been a 10/10 game if FromSoft had just cut down the booster output to 1/4 and spend more time on the maps.
>>286801810
Which could get pretty nice video game. Could, because author dropped it or rather announced that he will make it in Unreal Engine 4 instead. "TSF Forefront" if I recall correctly.

>>286801375
Another thing, make sure you have an appropriate FCS for the kind of shit you're fighting or weapons youre using.
>>286802197
Yes, fanmade. But had potential, since gameplay videos suggested something nice, especially duel one.
>>286801754
Nigga, you're better playing that shit on either your computer or on the vita because the controls on the psp are dogshit
>>286802026
Yep. It's in dev hell. Pity, it looks amazing.
They announced multiplayer deathmatches, coop survival, playing as the BETA and even escorting the Susanovo. They even tweeted the model.
>>286802197
Yeah
>>286802229
Alright
>crackingknuckles.jpg
Time to pull out the PS2
>>286802478
It only leaves PC then. Which is kind weird, playing PSP game on PC, when you already have PSP itself.
You mean I could plug in some controller (bought my first one month ago) and emulator would allow me to use it?
>>286785539
When Is CC2 going to stop making trash and Make a new .hack game?

>What is SRW
>>286802735
>emulator would allow me to use it?
Yeah, just go to settings/control/control mapping. PPSSPP is godlike.
I'm not sure how well AC games emulate but I never had the problem with PPSSPP. Even MGS Peacewalkers runs in 60fps 1080 with multiplayer and that game had a locked fps on the original psp.
>>286801889

Yes, ive been playing portable 3rd on ppsspp with an xbone controller and its great
>>286785539
Armored Core games are great, but out dated for todays audience, its mecha are too big in constrast to surrounding thus people don't tend to have a felling that it could be reality in future even for slightest...
>>286803123
>>286803049
Thanks. Maybe I will try to get into MH, too, since on PSP, controlling camera was awful.
>>286788963
How the fuck did you not love 2? It was better than 1 in every fucking way.
>>286803089
How did you get that out of my post?
>>286803049
>Macross game
there was one?
Is it based on a specific series?
How is the game overall?
>>286785539
Why should they waste time with a dead series that never was?
>>286787619
Verdict Day's sales wouldn't be that much different no matter when it was released.
It's not like Armored Core has much mainstream appeal.
I still play VD every day nigga. I love the whole team based game style but I would like them to return to their older style games. (FA preferably)
I'd really like VD to come out on Steam too. Somebody should start a petition for that and shill it to death to get some notice.
Also I want to see an Armored Core collection with updated graphics and trophies.
>>286785539
Armored Core 4 and 5 are shit.
>>286804515
I think the reason VD sold bad is simply because of From's shit marketing. The game came out with barely anyone noticing.
>>286803441
ACV's mechs are small as shit already
>>286803449
Get MH 3rd because it works only with HD ps3 patch and it also has English patch. Runs great even on toasters.
>>286804294
There are three actually. I got the latest one for some random reason. You pick three of the OC characters and roll with it, you get to choose which universe/timeline you play in. It's great but they should really just keep the maps into space because ground bases look ugly. It's all in Nip but you can figure it out.
>>286799915
Zinaida, the PTSD
>>286803470
2/AA is shit compared to 3/SL.
>>286804797
Double shell rifles with extend orbits combined with a narrow ECM because the bitch just won't touch the ground and she will go down like a brick. Also jumping whenever you see the blue light charge up is advisable.
>>286805182
I beat her with dual handguns, and many attempts.
>>286799342
Itano would be proud
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzXfVgYCxWI
>>286805278
I tried that too. Always ran outta ammo though so I had to ditch EO for inside storage for guns. It kinda works but it's still way harder with that setup.
>>286785539
how are psp games are they worth getting for myvita
>>286805832
I have all the PSP ones on vita and it works great. Just make sure to enable the second analog stick, playing with one is fucking awful.
>>286805741Just use energy EO, they recharge ammo
>>286802967
An SRPG
Look, I love the concept but not the gameplay. Mecha games are all about piloting your giant ass robot, going sanic fast and unloading all your dakka on whatever fool gets in your way. SRW is turn based, get the fuck out of here with that noise.
>every modern jap game is just some rpg or hack and slash shit
Why aren't there more games like EDF or AC?
>>286806035
Man, I miss this mechanic so fucking much
>>286806035
I know but those are usually heavy cores and I need my energy to fly my ass to safety.
The only time I used EO energy core is with my AC designed to kill off Pulverizers and Leviathans, that is the one with Jack-O's missile back weapons and missile arms. Regenerating ammo came in handy then.
>>286804660
AC sales are always low because it's a niche game. VDs sales were especially bad because for some reason From Software thought it would be a good idea to try this online team-campaign thing again after everyone hated it in ACV.
Look man, I just like going really fast and hitting real fucking hard. Fast and Hard.
I just want to deck out my AC so I can boost around fucking forever and cause unwarranted destruction.
>>286806391
Not that anon but if you like the concept of multiverse mecha banding together to stop some OC enemies but still want that 2sanik4u movement and combat then try Another Century's Episodes.
2 and 3 to be precise. Portable one is alright too.
Since Front Mission had a shit Armored core clone, can we get a good front Mission style spinoff Armored Core?
>>286785539
When is fromsoft going to stop making a game over and over again and make another over and over again?
>>286785539
Considering the gaming engines these days are stronger than expected you might have to hire real engineers to design armored core parts
>>286807162
Nah they can just copy it from anime like usual.
>>286807137
You know from soft has made a lot of IPs that aren't King's field, AC, and Souls, right?

>>286808540
That's not what he was talking about but speaking about anime there was going to be an Armored Core anime but it got cancelled.
However, recently there has been news of it being revived. The only source I have been able to find is from the wiki though and that doesn't offer a proper source itself.
