So when are From Soft returning to their flagship franchise?
Souls is over and sci fi has been hinted as their next project so soon hopefully
>>343014204
I just want another AC in the same vein of 3. Or 5 without the jumping off buildings.
>>343014204
Armored cuck is irrelevant now souls IS the flagship franchise
>>343014204
Well that 'older franchise' they said they're reviving sure as hell isn't King's Field
>>343014821
Reviving is a dirty term though. It makes me worried.
>>343014204
It's been hinted to hell and back it's their second project of the three new ones.
>>343014204
I hope so, I miss mecha so much. More then anything.
>>343014958
Yeah, just mediocre to shitty Gundam games at the moment.
>>343014204
What will the next game movement be like? Ac3? Ac4? Ac5?
I never played ac5, bit I heard 4 and 5 split the player base
>>343015216
4 was floaty as fuck, pretty sure Miyazaki was heavily involved with it, way too quick and fly-y.
5 was more like 3 but infinite boosters, which was dumb and meant you had no reason to have them off and you could bounce off buildings to gain height and that was it.
3 is still personally my favourite, they felt clunky yet agile enough.
>>343015216
They're all good games, but they each have some issues, and play very differently from echother.
Give them credit, at least they didn't rehash the same mechanics.
>>343015529
Other than the first 10 games.
To be fair though they're all fun in their own way, which is quite nice. It was certainly way less repetitive than souls going from the different numbered iterations. At least they actually changed.
>>343014204
I want a new AC so fuggin' bad, dudes.
>>343015216
I just want them to stop half assing the level design. Desert, moon desert, underground base, and ruined city being cycled forever has gotten ridiculous.
Improve on that before worrying about the graphics
>>343014204
>From comes out with a new AC
>Its in the style of the post AC4, NuCore games

>>343014204
I miss armored core. I really hope they go back to it. armored core V looked like dogshit so hopefully these consoles can give us something nice.
>armored core last raven
>armored core 3
>armored core 3 silent line
All those good memories
Been playing through AC2 again. The lack of thumb stick use is painful. Whoever decided to put camera up and down on L2 and R2 should probably be shot.
>>343015980
For Answer still has my favourite sound track of the series. 5 and VD were probably the worst.
https://youtu.be/Cl9FQIT-6iY
>>343016306
>not liking VD's soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6gOSF5SR-s
>>343016394
>Just a remix of Remember.
I think this was my issue with it, just sounded like a noisy and cluttered version of FA's.
>>343016306
https://youtu.be/LlGCvq5Rqj4
>>343015443
Is 5 in the same universe/continuity as 4?
Asking g cause 5 has a black glint, and 4 had white glint, right?
>>343016603
But Smasher was pretty good too, including HIGH FEVER
>>343014204
any good PC mech games?
>>343016883
I'm pretty sure it's heavily implied that the NEXT at the end of VD is actually White Glint rebuilt. Trailer footage seemed to show it being dug up if I remember rightly. So yeah I imagine it is.
>>343016883
Same world but like 200 years in the future with V
>>343016937
Emulate the PSP versions of 3 , Silent Line and Last Raven.
Otherwise not much, dying/dead niche genre popular mostly with Japs and you know what they're like with PC half the time
>>343016937
>Tfw all I want is armored core on pc
>>343017237
Why the PSP version? Just do the PS2 versions. They ran fine in PCSX2. Even LR in software mode.
>>343017269
Frame rate would be too consistent. From Soft couldn't handle that.
Seriously though there's one mission in FA where the frame rate tanks to sub 10, pretty sure it was defending an orbital something or other facility on one of the alt endings.
>>343016937
Project Nimbus has pretty much taken over my free time, but you should check out the the mechwarrior franchise, also mech commander if you don't mind a bit of strategy.
>>343014204
>>343014337
>>343014514
????
>>343017269
I'm conflicted about this. Good fps for AC games would be neat, but then again PC is full of cheating fags.
If you only play single player, then sure.
>>343016116
Get gud. Besides it was carried over from the first game where not every controller had sticks and they were too lazy/didn't want to change it/experiment with different control schemes - it released pretty early in the PS2 lifespan iirc.
>>343017327
I swear they had more content on PSP. But if the PS2 versions work fine then do that, there's an extra 2(?) games in 3's timeline.
Sounds boring, idk about anyone else but I am not bored of the Soulsborne type of gameplay yet
>>343014337
>Souls is over
Thank the lord, that shit was getting staler than skunked stout.
>>343017543
>there's an extra 2(?) games in 3's timeline.
Yeah, Nexus and Ninebreaker.
>>343017430
I thought that was called Frame Gride
>>343017547
What if you could have Soulsborne in a giant mech with railguns and lightsabers?
>>343017547
Then go play The Surge or some shit. Fuck. 4 fucking games released within 5 years wasn't enough???
>>343017447
>PC is full of cheating fags.
Only because from can't handle their shit. Not every PC release is a mess.
>>343017690
I've got most the ps2 games and just managed to get a copy of Nine Breaker but they're rare as fuck. Don't own Nexus or LR. I don't know whether this is just an issue for the UK but fuck.
Don't get me started on the PS1 games.
>>343017547
>30ft mechs pile bunkering each other is boring.
Get a load of this guy.
>>343017690
>Nexus
Nexus opening was the shit.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zov2yGOhUKk
Next games are going to be new IP's.
From got their golden goose egg and that was good enough for them.
>>343018095
Nexus catches a lot of shit but the second disc was honestly a great fucking idea, all those redone missions and stuff. Great music too,
I hope it is an Armored Core game, but I hope it's got better single-player.
5 and VD felt like they developed too much shit around multiplayer.
>>343017520
Yeah I get that it's the fact that they're literally used as 2 big buttons is the biggest piss take I think.
>>343014204

WESTERNfags DO NOT into Mecha, so why do any of you even care?
None of you play Bamco mecha games.
It's a game for Japan by Japan.
I would rather they continued with this
>>343018838
I always liked the gameplay but the designs are just awful.
Also >No online now.
>>343019012
>NONE OF YOU PLAY GAMES THAT AREN'T IMPORTED FOR YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Yeah, I'm an EoP, but I'd play more mecha games if they were fucking here.
t. kid who kept playing the armored core demo disc when 10 years old until I got the first one
>>343019012
>Bamco mecha games.
You mean like AC 5 and AC VD.
RATE GENS QUICKAC1 > AC3 >= AC2 >>>>>> Front Mission Evolved >>>>>>>>>>>> AC4 = AC5

Learn to import kid. Not to mention...

Dude.
Which AC do you reccomend on PS1?
>>343019410
>Front mission evolved.
It wouldn't even be so garbage without the crap soldier bits.
>>343019458
>DUDE

But you can't expect most people to be interested in a fucking genre when never given a fair chance.
>>343019284
Gundam Extreme VS
Gundam Breaker
Gundam Gundam Gundams!
Just posting best track
http://youtu.be/r4OvT1VdiKs
Fuck I'd love a new armored core. I'd take a formula front for pc at this point
>>343015529
Pretty much, it's faggots that don't prefer the mechanics of 4 so they call it a shit game because they're incapable of enjoying both playstyles.
>>343019634
You could have watched the fucking english text/voice via Youtube. And Armored Core doesn't even have much of a fucking story. Don't tell me you let menus stop you from owning a game?
>>343017398
>Project Nimbus
Just watched the trailer, literally is the plot from AC4
not that it is a bad thing
>>343017849
Not him, but open your eyes man. Literally any multiplayer game you can bring up has its share of cheating fucks. CS, Overwatch, Black Desert Online are just some of the newer games plagued by cheaters, and it only gets worse in regard to older titles. I almost never play console games, and play on PC 99% of the time, but if you're saying cheating isn't rampant on pc, you are simply lying to yourself.
>>343019850
>brings up games other than armored core
>uses armored core as an example
I was more thinking gundam games that haven't come over and I'm a slut for gundam.
You know your points are retarded, right? Criticizing people for not enjoying all the possible media of a genre when 75% of it isn't brought to the average consumer. Not a huge fan of using playasia and other sites to import shit.
Get the fuck out, Nipophile.
>>343019850
Not even that anon but why are you even talking about importing a series which has every game localised?
To be fair with a game as stat heavy as the AC series being able to understand it is probably useful.
>>343019531
1
>>343019531
Armored Core: Master of Arena. Has a campaign as well as a full on 1v1 mech arena ranking system which is pretty fun.
>>343020343
I've never actually tried the original 3 PS1 games. Are they any good? Started on AC2 and never thought to.
>>343014204
during an interview about DS3 being the last souls game whatshisname confirmed they were working on a armored core game.
>>343020525
Yes
>>343020106
The fact that you reject Importing on a console that gives you the option is freaking hilarious.
Can't wait for the PS4 Neo to get rid of this feature you cry foul.
The only person here to blame is yourself. You have a choice and you are "choosing" not to use the tools created that make it extremely easy to obtain imports. There are even fan translations for games like.... Tales of Vesperia, but instead you get on twitter and port beg. There's even a fucking english mod for most imported games on the PS3 once they are translated.
>>343020601
Guessing I'm pretty much going to have to emulate? They don't appear to exist physically.
>>343020593
No they didn't, they never specified shit. They said they were revisiting an old IP.
>>343016937
>>343020709
You can find copies of them on ebay easily nigga, but sure, emulate them if you want
4A=3>VD>2>Areana>4
>>343020883
This, I own the physical games from way back when. But I prefer to emulate them if not just for the better frame rates and sharper textures.
>>343020883
Not in yurop apparently. I'll emulate for now and grab them physically if I get the chance.
>>343020927
3 ranks higher than FA for me but yeah basically this.
>>343020127
I never said AC and nor did anyone else, what are you even talking about?
I said westernfags don't like mecha games and one person argued that he likes them but he's never given the chance to play them because they won't release a version in his native language. What's the point when they are niche? Which leaves you with two options - either you import or don't play them at all.
Armored Core 6 by this fan loved From Software will still be a niche fucking game or branch out from what Armored Core is, in an attempt to cater to westernfags who never gave a flying fuck about mecha.
>>343021425
>You could have watched the fucking english text/voice via Youtube. And Armored Core doesn't even have much of a fucking story. Don't tell me you let menus stop you from owning a game?

>>343017430
Armored Souls confirmed
Get ready for Havel the Mech
>>343021593
Just ignore that post. I realized I used AC there too, but he was referring to mecha in general. Thus what are even talking about.
Anyone got the PSP games for Vita? Wondering how they do on it. Like you can rebind the camera controls the right stick I think?
>>343021841
In that case fine, but you'd be relying on guides and shit for anything slightly more complex than a musou style game.
My biggest issue with imports is the cost associated with it, you pay a premium to start with and then because I'm a euro it gets slapped with a ridiculous amount of import tax.
>>343021838
Already exists. It's shit.
>>343022151
You are just not interested enough in [insert thing here] to justify the purchase.
I've paid 70+ USD for most games because they come with an inflation due to not having a global release. You're not the only one here.
>>343014204
> their flagship franchise
Isn't that technically King's Field? Not Armored Core?
>>343022942
There's interest and then there's ludicrous. I'm interested in metal wolf chaos a lot, doesn't mean I'm forking out a metric shit tonne of money for it.
>>343016937
Heavy Gear 2 is my all time fucking fave
>>343023218
Depends on your definition of flagship. AC has 15 games, so I guess it did something right.
>>343023307
>metal wolf chaos
Wouldn't you need a Xbox(JP) for that?
>>343023449
>>343023613
You posting from a shitty connection? Double posts happens to me sometimes because lol shared DSL.
>>343019531
I grew up with AC and played all of them until ac2. I wouldn't recommend them in 2016 as the controls are archaic; check out pretty much any AC game at/after last Raven, which (iirc) is when they began the 'strafing and camera relegated to analog sticks instead of shoulder buttons' + customizable controls config
none of this matters if you're emulating though

Forgot to post some gameplay
>>343014204
You do know that the actual AC team who worked up to ACV/VD got fire right?
>Yfw you team up with White Glint and Finona and realize that that's you from AC4
Statis,and Fragile didn't stand a chance
how are chromehounds and front mission evolved?
>>343017547
Honestly it's like bullet hell souls with mechs and flying at 10x the speed at least
Souls combat is boring as fuck in comparison, fun but slow and clunky
>>343024054
Chromehounds was fun but I didn't get far in it.
Definitely slower paced and more strategical
this post is in appreciation of shoulder mounted Gatling guns
>>343023723
Yep, exactly what I mean. You've got the cost of the base and then a new console.
>>343017547
>Sounds boring
So you've never played an armored core then?
>>343023962
That rifle looks so unsatisfying to use. The shots don't look like they make any actual impact.
The missiles look fun though
>>343014204
Literally the only thing they have to do to instantly make a great game is just take Last Raven, update the graphics, give the player access to the OP intensify, and then slap online matchmaking onto it.
Now everyone can roleplay as Evangel or whatever and moonlight one another to death.
Fun.
>>343024609
Could have just stopped at take Last Raven to be honest.
LR modernised with even more shit and multiplayer would be great.
I hope not, I don't care for that series. Gimme new IP.
>>343024843
Well actually thinking about it more it would probably help if they consolidated the later half of the PS2 era games into one more cohesive narrative. Like, combining everything from Silent line through LR together so that the game has a self contained and cohesive storyline that progresses all the way through the internecine and suicide machine plots.
