For those who have never played Armored Core. Rule #1: there is no "best" loadout, there will always be different loadouts that work on certain missions and not on others.
👍🏼
thats called optimization there is meta weapons and loadouts for a reason. Some weapons will be better than others no matter the situation. So there arent best loadouts but there are best weapons and abilities that wont ever be changed out 9 times out of 10
Thanks for the info man
Thank you....me being a perfectionist, couple that with the infinite possibilities on load outs im afraid I will find myself stun locked into indecision and unable to leave the mechs garage. I will keep your advice in mind and keep telling myself there's no best mech
In prior games, sniper rifles were OP because the targeting was very accurate and you can shoot the enemy before they can shoot you.
That part about them not charging 70$ really solidifies fromsoft as a true G. Its refreshing to see a dev respecting their customers.
I mean it could be argued that that’s because it’s not next gen, as it’s being released on last gen consoles
Isn't it lime 67 dollars on steam?
gamers still think 50 hours of entertainment is worth a dollar.
$100 and it's still cheap compared to other paid entertainments.
@@jacobe2995 nope, its $60 for standard edition. There is a $70 deluxe edition, but its a choice to buy that.
@@christopherlyndsay8611 yea but so many games this year charged much more like lord of the rings golum, redfall and they were shit looking and bad gameplay.
The craziest build I ever saw was in Chromehounds, a guy built a mech that looked like a dominos pizza delivery guy. The pie he was holding over his head was a missile pod, truly inspired!
Yeah one of FromSoftware's other mech games. It was definitely fun. Hopefully they will make a sequel if AC6 does well :)
I miss Chromehounds 😭 we need another large-scale multiplayer mech game
@bombomos i never got to play chronehounds and was pretty sure it wasnt from soft. Im surprised it actually was because they made so many AC games Im confused as to why they would only make one that has nothing to do with AC.
I got the achievement on Xbox 360 for being the number one ranked player in the game in chrome hounds.
CHROMEHOUNDS! fuuuuuck I miss that game, probably had 500-600 hours in it back in high school, the Nuromeous war metagame is still one of the coolest features in any multiplayer game I've ever seen. Game was so ahead of it's time and deserves a sequel
The fact Fromsoft is not charging $70 for a top tier game, 0 micro transactions, and all the respect they have for the players, makes Armoured Core 6 a must buy. Protect Fromsoft at all cost. I can’t wait for Elden Ring DLC as well.
I love how they want to make games they love and are proud of but also respect the people who will play them.
I could not agree more . FromSoftwere is my favorite Developer right now. They just keep releasing top tier games.
I will continue to suppoort them as long as I can.
@@BlakeTheSnake98 me too 👍
FromSoftware isn't like those morons at CDPR
Yeah yeah people praised CDPR as well
Its a company we dont have to protect shit
Man i remember when I found this channel 10 years ago, you guys have been the most consistent and reliable gaming channel on CZcams since! Keep it up guys 👌🏾
Wow, thanks!
Falcon punch and Jake are the heroes of GR ^_^
When i was younger, i was the only gamer i knew into armored core games. glad to see the audience has grown! Gundam was what made me love this game. I always used it as a replacement for the customizable gundam game we never got back in the ps2 era.
Imagination is a powerful (and beautiful) tool 🎋
@@ChristmasLore that it is. that it is.
Same. My dad got me into Gundam and Zoids and I’ve been into Mech games ever since
I’ll never know why Gundam: Operation Troy was never released in the US. Encounters in Space was my favorite and the one w/ the Dingo Squad. My dream would be an 08th MS Team game.
Me to this my gateway to gundam anime
I just so happy that a whole new generation gets to know about Armored Core! Never thought I'd ever see a brand new entry with so much polish. Hope it sells well and everyone has a great mech building experience!
Dude there were games on the 360. Which is not that long ago.
I'm grateful that most of the new players will at least have experience with a Souls game. Armored Core is known for demoralizing the uninitiated. The only reason I got good enough to enjoy the series is because I adore mechs.
@@smugnick5458 ten years is a ridiculously long time
They get to know how much of a snoozefest it
@@_BlackenedSun lol I dunno but whatever you're playing must be a snoozefest seeing as how you couldn't even complete your sentence.
As a Mecha model kit enthusiasts, I can definitely say I’m gonna be hanging out a lot in the customisation menu, as well as enjoying and getting a lot inspiration from the gorgeous environment designs. I can’t wait for this game to come out.😊
I loved Metal Gears in Metal Gear Solid games. I always wanted to pilot and customize one. Thank you Fromsoftware for making that dream a reality on Aug. 25th!!!!!
This is the way! I remember playing old armored core games back in the day. I'd try to paint and customize my mechs with inspirations from Gundams. You can spend forever customizing lol
Building a granddaddy Gundam first day
I’m gonna 100% go with pink snow camo if that’s an option lol. Nothing like playing a deadly merc dressed in pink.
And model kits for AC6 are coming too
Can't believe that a lot of people didn't know what this series was. HAPPY TO SEE THAT THIS JUGGERNAUT IS BACK
the last AC game sold like 160,000 copies....dark souls sold 30 million. it was overshadowed.
@@rugie6247be be fair, ac 5 was not that great compared to many others
@@rugie6247how many copies did AC4 get?
@@rugie6247
*_>Imagine basing how great a game is by its amount of money sold from it_*
LMAO That could never be me
By that logic, any AAA games or Mobile games with Microtransactions, Battlepasses, and Lootboxes are the BEST games ever made on the planet because they earn 19723587135984652 seggtillion dollars per year than your average game
is this gane hard to get into?

AC6 like in many older AC games is confirmed to have branching story paths depending on gameplay choices like faction and mission selection! its also around 50 missions, I'm sure a handful will be gated by the paths you take! cant wait!!
yooo 50 missions is really cool to hear! i saw some people got to play it early and the only had 11 missions to play i think so i thought that'd be all there was. this will be my first AC game and one of my fears was that it would be too short or not have enough variety of missions.
One thing I love about Armored Core there many in-depth mechanics gameplay can either be fast-paced MGs go brrr or chunky tank destroy everything, and that's what I love the most, and subtle storytelling with atmosphere and the outlandish customisation and consequences with the customization.
To me, this game is a love letter to us and mech fans while be little bit more accessible to people, not say I don't have my concerns but at the end of day I enjoy any Armored Core game, I wish to see y'all on the battlefield Ravens.
A couple things
You DO NOT have to have played any of the previous games to understand Armored Core VI. It takes place in its own universe and outside of maybe a couple references to past games, theres no direct connection.
For those curious on multi-player:
There is no co-op of any sort but there will be 1v1 and 3v3 PVP. I heard you will be able to have up to 3 spectators as well.
People who are fans of Souls duels but want them mech based will LOVE online duels and trios I bet. I also like the idea of spectators. Great for spreading the fun and ideas everyone will have.
Know anything about cross platform support though?
@@polarbear6463 nothing was stated but I highly doubt it since multi-player isn't really a focus in the first place
@polarbear6463
According to the game page on Microsoft store it does not have cross gen multi-player, so I'm guessing it won't be cross platform at all.
People say they want souls like features in Armored Core but I want Armored Core features in Souls like so I can’t wait to play this game.
How would you armored core-ify souls games?
@@Mustachioed_Molluskcrippling monetary debt
What people dont remember is how much Armored Core was in Demon Souls/Dark Souls originally.
@@Mustachioed_Mollusk very fast pace movement with good range combat mixed with melee combat. For a start.
I want more Sekiro like features in souls games, was so disappointed that i couldn't deflect in ER :I
Honestly, the game I'm most hyped for. Been a long time fan of the series and I was over the friggin' moon when they revealed this. As much as I took issue with 5 and Verdict Day, the gameplay in this looks fantastic.
Man, this can't come out soon enough, this week feels like an eternity. Im so hyped for this.
I really hope that this has more than all the other AC games combined. More parts, more missions, more everything!
Oh yeah, more content than the others is good, but as a new comer who's looked into the history of the Armored Core games, I'm excited to see how well they take all the good stuff from the previous games, leave all (or at the very least MOST) of the bad stuff of the previous games, and create the perfect Armored Core game formula that Newcomers and Veterans alike will love.
The core concepts, themes, money management, and mech building of 1,
the improved graphics of 2,
the power of speed and flight based mobility of 3 and 4,
the crazy AC and Mech battles from 2 and 3,
The MASSIVE Armed Fortress styled Boss Battles from 4,
and whatever little good they could salvage from the ill-fated 5.
All coming together to make the most EPIC, if not PEAK Armored Core experience for everyone.
I'm also happy seeing so many new people take an interest into Armored Core for the first time (I've always been fascinated with Amored Core, just could never play any of the games until now with this being my first AC ever), and I love how so many Armored Core Veterans are coming out to welcome the newcomers into the series, share their experiences with the not super popular, practically cult classic series, show them the ropes, warn them of the challenge ahead while encouraging them to try and push through, and finally wish us a good time to enjoy the game they love so much.
It's so warm and wholesome for a game that's so cold, harsh, even brutal, and I love it all. As a first timer, I can't wait to build my mechs, get used to controlling them, getting my ass kicked by the difficulty of this game, and feel the badassery when I start to learn to build and play well to overcome everything!
Over 50 missions rumored with different factions/outcomes.
It was the "total rounds" that always caused me issues on longer missions in previous games. Reading the mission parameters is just so important in these games.
Best way to think of each mission is as an action puzzle tbh the gameplay changes drastically with different mech parts and each mission tends to encourage a somewhat specific approach
Defintely gonna be the case if one wants to take on the option side content that can be found like hidden bosses.
This is exactly the type of game I have been craving, tactical, fast paced and action focused. Going to preorder this and Spiderman 2 and I will be set for the year. Even though it will be my first Armored Core, I know I will dig it.
I remember when i was a kid back in 1996, i was so into playing Armored Core on PS1, even if it was just a demo i played it for so much, glad to see that there are still awesome games like this one being remade properly.
It wasn't until ps3 came out that i managed to find a copy of the original ps1 version on a carboot sale, i also used to play the monthly demo disc with AC1 and still have that disc somewhere lol
Armored Core VI is so close! HYPE
I played all the AC games and never played a Souls game in full. I'm excited to see what they pull from the Souls stuff after the looooong AC hiatus and bring to the series. There's no way that DNA doesn't bleed through and im interested to see what that feels like.
2 hours in builder, 10 minutes in game. And you're gonna like it 😂
Basically the bosses will be the only souls part in the DNA.... hopefully some of them are no longer as BS-ey as ultimate Zinaida
Which even then I would argue isnt soulsey since methodical bosses exist in 5th gen AC....
First game I've preordered in years. From has earned that trust, I love mechs, I like fast action combat (Sekiro is my favorite From game by far), and I love the overall atmosphere of this thing.
I really hope we get another Sekiro. My fav From game as well.
What I haven't heard said is that with AC6, it feels like technology finally caught up to FromSoft's vision for the games.
I’m pretty stoked for this. Armored Core was great. This looks like it’s going to hit a home run for fans of the series.
I've been saying it since this game was a rumor: All they need to do is make a good Armored Core game.
It really does look like the devs worked with this as their mantra.
Nah, they came in saying "Lets put all the experience we have found over the years and throw it at a board and see what sticks, and have as much fun as possible doing it". This game already looks to be the love letter they wanted to make for not their fans or the past AC games, but to themselves and all the hard work they have put in to make video games as a whole. Fromsoft has never catered to anyone but themselves imo. They make games they want to play and do not care what anyone else has to say.
@@Darkaoron Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say.
I didn't say "lets make a game AC fans will love". I simply said "make a good AC game".
Hi Gameranx Hi Jake glad you covered this!
Hi
Really excited for my first AC game. Hoping it can scratch an itch that others games arent quite getting for me.
Excited for this one especially with the recent track record of FromSoftware! I’ve always been interested in the Armored Core series but never played it for whatever reason 🤔 now seems like a good time to jump in.. thanks for keeping me entertained on my lunch break gameranx 💙🥪
I recently learned fromsoft made murakumo renegade mech pursuit back in 03, one of my favorite childhood games. Whenever i see armed core flying around i get slapped with such nostalgia. Def buying day one
One grossly overlooked aspect of Armored Core is their soundtrack. It always fit the theme of the stages, and was especially perfect for the potential hours in the Garage customizing the ACs
Fires of Rubicon appears to be an amalgamation of the best parts of 4th and 5th generation Armored Core with a few new ideas thrown in. From 4th gen I see we have the return of Overed Boost, called Assault Boost, along with Primal Armor and Assault Armor. However in terms of average AC speed, ACVI seems to be on the side of 5th generation and has the scan functionality which allows you to spot enemies from behind cover. The new ideas in ACVI are OS tuning and Aim Assist along with certain QoL features that allow FromSoft to design longer missions. As in previous entries the real test of your skill in AC is not beating the missions but getting 100% S-Rank on all missions and it seems like reloading checkpoints and using repair kits automatically disqualify you from getting an S-Rank.
From soft talked in interviews about hiding more secret unique gameplay mechanics for later on in the game like they did with os tuning a few hours into the game so I’m really hyped to see what they do with this
@@godly_potatoe69xd19 AC6 becomes a dance game confirmed.
The aim assist was there in 4 and 5 as well, less so in 5. According to the devs game speed is between 3 and 5, with "burst up to 4" the footage I've seen definitely leans more towards very much between 3 and 5. But a lot of people think 5 is slow because they've never seen high level play. So we'll have to wait and see how that turns out.
As far as inspiration, seems to me like they're taking a bit from everything,especially the whole recoil stuff where reverse joints and bipeds have to stop momentarily to fire charge shots and similar things, where quads and tanks won't.
@@Valkrss Kind of like how Elden Ring is a best of the Souls series when it comes to mechanics it looks like ACVI is a best of the Armored Core series.
Just because this game was made by From, you don't need to keep comparing it to Dark and Elden. It's a completely different type of game.
Never played armorcore but I had MechAssault on original Xbox and this is what I imagined it looked like back in the day. This looks insane
this, baldurs gate, elden ring… i’m excited to see these passionate studios showing the low effort/quality developers how its done.
As an old school Mech Warrior fan, thank you so much for making this video and breaking things down. This has been very informative and I'm starting to get excited about this new Mech game.
As a "young" school Mech Warrior fan I am a little shocked that the video compares AC 6 from 2023 with some ancient Mechwarrior title from the nineties instead of Mechwarrior V 😀
Furthermore, I realize that Gundam style combat is really nothing for me - scating and physics-defying movement instead of huge stompy mechs? Not my thing. A pity since AC6 really looks cool and the customizations would be exactly my thing.
There’s definitely big differences between the two but yeah
These were hands down my fav series of games. I played them all starting at 3. From Software was always strapped for cash and never hit major success when they were making all the AC games. This will be the first one with tons of funding behind it and I have a feeling its a project the devs themselves have always wanted to go balls out on. The hype is real even though I have been so disappointment by hype before.
10 more years of only mecha FromSoft games, Souls fans can wait 10 years for *their* next game like we did.
Whoa! It's so nice you guys take the time to make an 10 things you need to know about armored core VI video. Old fans lost their minds with that armored core theme UK bus a couple of days ago. It's so weird to see the series with the AAA game treatment. XD Can´t wait to play the game btw.
I'm only familiar with From Software due to Chrome Hounds. A really fun game that became dominated by "frog builds" and only a few of the largest most powerful clans were able to get any of the more prestigious achievements and then of course they shut down the servers which locked off the ability to ever get those achievements again.
Loved Chrome Hounds. Warts and all.
Rarely pre-order games before release. But when this was announced I couldn't resist. I also had to get Starfield on the old pre-order. 2 games that have made the last few months seem like an entirety. I cant wait to get my hands on these titles.
bro I understand trusting From Software but why Bethesda? Did you forget every released version of their game? Buggy as hell, unplayable, and sometimes it's just bad
Oof this dude preordered Starfield. You know you coulda just shelled $15 for a month of gamepass cause its gonna blooow. Im waiting for Stalkers 2 to hit gamepass then ill play both for 15 bones just to say I gave it a whirl. But lets be honest, Starfield is gonna trash lol theres no hope
I like their games what can I say, also I play on pc so Starfield will be getting heavily modded, while you play the so-called baseless game on your game pass :/
@@user-lr2ii4cr3l them why don't you buy when it's 10-20% off with mods
What a long way of saying “you didn’t think FromSoftware would stick to the soulsborne genre forever, did you?”
A big welcome back to the mecha warfare. The abundant customization really does look mouth watering. Love what FS did with AC6 as they did with Elden Ring in pricing where they only charge $60 for the PS5/XBX.
I remember playing my older brother's copy of Armored Core 2 when I was in high school, and I've been hooked on the mech genre ever since.
As long as they bring back the Moonlight Blade and the Karasawa (MK2?) Laser Rife from Armored Core 2. I would love to see a Buster Rife or Beam Cannon like in the Gundam series.
Moonlight blade? theres a moonlight sword too in these games ? 😂 fromsoft loves moonlight and im all for it
This will be my first armored core game. Looks epic. I see they mentioned end game, how does that work? And is there pvp?
Yes PVP was confirmed
1v1 and 3v3 with spectators, apparently.
Apparently, new game + change missions and add new ones instead of just power up enemies and it unlocks new endings
#10 is my favourite entry♥️. I was getting tired of people calling this Dark Souls but with mechs, showing that they know nothing of the masterpiece that is armoured core. Thank you Jake for setting these fools straight🙏🏾💯
About time they made another Armored Core. And this one looks awesome. Good to also see some of the old mechanics making a comeback. The auto targeting system was already a problem back then especially if against an agile AC. It only worked better for homing missiles/rockets.
Can't wait to armor my core
A game that isn't Dark Souls, I'm excited for mech business
I LOVE the AC series, always have! It is so sweet that after all this time they are finally coming out with another one! I'm really happy to see that they are sticking with the Armored Core and NOT making it a Souls-like! So awesome that they are bringing the arena back, that was a great way to get parts if you were struggling with a main quest and power up. My biggest hope is that the campaign is long like the first AC. I think it took me over 60 hours to beat AC 1, and like 40 for AC 2, but by 3 you beat the game in like 12 hours. It was very sad, and that was one of the things I was really hoping to hear about in this video.
Great video. My fear was that earlier games have always been kind of simplistic, no real exploration, nothing to look forward to besides a different map with different enemies. They seem to have really padded this out, and for the first time I really excited for this game.
>.> armored core nexus thought me... arena is where it's at!! Lol. Cannot wait for this game!
I never played armored core franchise before i'll look into it on my xbox series x or my PS5.😁
Congrats, you own both consoles. Enjoy
Looking forward to play this one. I got into the armor core games quite late but still this looks amazing
Best way that I summarize this game series is basically; if you like/love Ace Combat, you're going to like/love Armored Core. They're basically twin games in functionality by missions and loadout setups and both are by Bandai Namco ultimately. Best way to find out if Armored Core is for you is to play Ace Combat, I highly recommend 7 ❤
Outside of the obvious differences in combat, this is a great comparison I never thought of
@@davidwilmot9895 haha yeah, Armored Core definitely has a vertical aspect that Ace Combat couldn't do
Both ac's 6 have fire of something
Both are fantasy of piloting stuff
For those who hated Elden Ring... you may like this... I invested in all the Armoured core, I think it peaked at armoured core 4... this looks brilliant :) The Fromsoftware difficulty comes from ensuring that you've engineered you mech appropriately for the mission... if you mess that up you can make missions impossible for yourself... have fun
Thank you for saying THIS IS NOT A FUTURISTIC ELDEN RING
Patriot systems are crucial at times and a good set up of this can defeat the aggressive and heavily armed in PVP 😉
Patriot systems??
@@bombomos When at standoff distance you can have big or swarming missiles heading for you these are dealt with by a missile defense system consisting of radars, command-and-control technology and multiple types of interceptors, all working together to detect, identify and defeat tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, advanced aircraft and other threats.
Jake at it again. Great breakdown as always!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have never been into mech games tbh. I was always more into high-fantasy RPGs.
Fromsoft really captured me with the souls series and I gotta say... if anyone was to interest me in mech games, itd be them.
This looks fantastic
I was typing "armored core 6 gameranx" in youtube's search bar when this video's notification just pooped in face 😂
Before You Buy before its release?!
I wanna make a cute mech
Customisation in AC is significantly higher than in mechwarrior. You don't pick a chassis and have to choose certain weapons for that chassis. It comes down to power and weight, not weapon types.
On the “this isn’t futuristic elden ring”
People have expressed concern that armored core might take up too many soulsborne mechanics. But I wonder about the opposite: future soulsborne games taking up mechanics from the new armored core entry.
I know I’ve heard people bring up how some of the ER bosses demand movement more akin to bloodborne but the player is primarily stuck with DS style movement (unless you spam bloodhound step). So I feel like it’d be a more interesting question to wonder if future soulsborne-style games will have faster movement like bloodborne or even sekiro (I doubt it’d get significantly faster than either) regardless whether or not they share the ip/name.
I’m so hype for this game. I’m making a mech suit to play😂
I cant wait!! Armored Core has been a all time favorite series of mine, been counting down the days for this release. Played everyone of the mainline titles, and loved em, quirks and all.
I am super impatient for this release. I've been playing these games since the very first AC. I'm looking forward to my insane mobility build that i had in the early games. Armor practically nothing mobility maxed out with long-range FCS and twin swords, sniper rifle, and anti-missile bay. Playing in a manner that requires absolute boosting and dodging while diving in and out of combat is truly a thing of beauty.
Was thinking the same thing! :)
The nostalgia came back as soon as you started showing the ac customization!
I've never heard of the Armored Core series before, but I'm definitely excited for this one!
I’m so excited for this. Time to recreate my fast light armor melee AC when I was young.
I remember the OG Armored Core. The tutorial was here's 2 mechs defeat them, no explanation of the controls or what things on the screen were for. No difficulty setting, once you start a mission there is no saving, healing, you either beat the mission, aborted, or just died. You die so many times and you get a upgrade to help you out. These upgrades affected the story progression I think. I loved it. They should remaster the old ones for PC, I would buy all of them and play them in order.
You weren't kidding about right around the corner. Excited!
A big thing is, beware of the weight limits of the legs and core. Some powerful weapons are way too heavy for normal legs so quad/tank legs can help you out.
There is also a hidden mechanic in old AC games called human+, its an "easy" mode where the if you die and loss credits to be like -50k 6x or 8x in debt, the company will do special surgery on your body that make you even more stronger to being able to do more stuff, like having no weight limit, being able to use more energy consuming less of it, etc, etc. Each AC game has their own human+ mechanic that we dont know yet if it will have here on 6 but beware of it.
There is also 120hz fps mode that will make the game even faster if you're able to play with that on, so yeah.
Very excited to play this game, I never played it before, I was just a soulsborne fan and now after playing some AC oldschool games i'm definily hyped to check this new one out!
This game reminds me of a DS game i used to adore and play constantly: Custom Robo Arena. Obviously Custom Robo is a bit of a smaller scale but customizing the robots with different equipment each fight to see what cool combos could be made as well as the general battles were the heart of it. And it seems like this game has that same formula. Im excited to jump into an Armored Core for the first time soon ❤
I have never played any of them, but it looks like I might want to play this one.
Thanks, Jake
Watched the Vaatividya so now I’m hyped.
I've been playing Armored Core since the first one way back on the PS1. My favorite memory was fighting my friend in split screen on one of the PS2 games. We had completely different ACs and completely different play styles but we still managed to end up in a TIE
I'm excited to get into this one I've bene playing the series since back in the day where they wanted you hold the controller backwards lol
Thanks Falcon ! I want nothing more but new fans on AC , I want my favorite games to be appreciated just as much as I appreciate them . If you’re a newcomer , don’t feel threatened by all the HUD elements during gameplay, sure you gotta watch them , but not really , focus more on your movement and dogging , a big Tip for newcomers; NEVER STOP MOVING . I’m so excited for this game ❤
Jake was the host in this video but thank you for the advice. I absolutely love Mecha in all sorts of media so hopefully I'm able to afford the game at release.
I am truly excited for this game. Like many others, this will be my first Armored Core I can't wait to hear the good reviews so I can pick it up myself
Long time fan, so happy the series is coming back!
I'm very late posting this. But I want to help anyone thinking about getting into this.
For those who don't know.
Most Armored Core games, including 6, are about mega-corporations, so powerful, they have become like governments, and they are always at war, fighting with, spying on, and sabotaging each other, over control of territory, or some resource.
An Armored Core, is a giant robot you pilot from the inside, a Mech. It gets it's name from the main piece, the chest piece known as the Core, that everything else attaches to, and where you sit. What makes an AC different from other prebuilt mass production mechs (Muscle Tracers), is that an Armored Core is almost completely customizable, with swappable parts, and you can build for certain situations, or build for a moving & fighting style that makes you happy.
You play as an independent mercenary with their own AC. You do missions even messed up ones, to earn money to survive this crazy world, pay off your debts, and more importantly, buy more expensive parts to experiment with, or just have if you need them.
As you start out as an independent mercenary, with your own cheap, basic AC, nearly no one really cares about you...but as you improve in skill, and perfecting your build, for you. These same corporations, that belittled you, start respecting you, then even begging you to side with them, then you become so god-like in ability, they try taking you out, because they see you as a threat.
And you just keep surviving all of these traps, suicide-missions, ambushes, and assassination attempts, until you become a force of nature, a wildcard, an Irregular, that can save the world, or destroy it.
That's Armored Core.
Oh, I forgot to mention.
You can build a lightweight and agile AC, that's like a racing machine, fragile, but able to outmaneuver nearly anything, or, you can have a big, bulky AC able to hold big, heavy, powerful weapons, heavily armored(literally), and slowly moving through the world, devastating those in it's path, like it's Jason Voorhees, or Michael Myers.
Or, build anything in-between with different amount of weight, mobility, energy usage, and firepower.
Also think about if you're comfortable fighting up close, meaning easy to hit things, harder to dodge, or sniping, or any range in between. And every weapon and targeting system(Fire Control System), has a range they work best at.
The amount of options & stats can be overwhelming, but it can be very fun to build the best giant robot right for you, or the situation, mixing & matching parts to maximize the stats & abilities you care about, or build something balanced, and it can be very fun mastering that machine, to survive whatever challenge comes your way, with little to no costs to you...unless your build uses a lot of expensive ammo to cause devastation, then that's fair.
And the Armored Core series has always been difficult, because you have master complicated controls/movements, fight dangerous enemies be them bosses or large groups, and in the middle of all this, you have to keep track of things in your mech, like energy left to do an action, energy recharge rate, ammo of all your weapons, timing the fire rate/reloading of your weapons, and your enemy's weapons, and setting up your movements & distance so your attacks are more effective, or just to make your opponents miss hitting you much, or at all.
I hope this helps newcomers, and I hope FromSoftware brings back all the old games, with modern controls, on modern systems & PC, so more people can experience them. I would love to play all the games before Nexus, on a PC, and be able to buy Human+ in game, for a high price, instead of purposely building debt just to become a cyborg experiment. And other things to spend in game money on, like a base, or treasure. Be great if they also showed or added to the lore of other pilots, before, during, and after the Nexus generation of games.
Loved Armored Core 2 as a kid and so did all of my brothers. So stoked how the new games looks basically the same deal!
I’ve never played an armored core game before but I’m so ready to try this.
Great video and the device seems powerful! ✌️😁🎮
My 1st Armored Core. First few hours I was skeptical about continuing. Fast forward a week and I'm on my 2nd play through with 6 different builds.
This reminds me of Arnored Core 4, which is my favorite of the series. I'm super excited to give this a whirl 😁
My mouth is watering with the mech possibilities.
Ahhhh the countdown until my mech once again rises to glory on the battlefield! Wish there would be co-op missions and deployable companion bots for scouting/ health / trap laying/ turret. One of my favorite all time titles ... it's so beautiful. Hope to see everyone at the Raven's nest.
I'm so excited for this! The mech genre needs this!
Yes! Master of Arena was so awesome, good to see the arena is back
A friend told me about this game and its been on my radar ever since. Looks fenomenal and i cant wait to try it out! :)
Wow I can't believe ive been overlooking this game this entire time. This sounds like a great time, and im definitely gonna have to give this a shot 🔥✊
I cant wait to see how far I can get in the Arena with the stock mech and slowly progress with gear and whatnot! I used to love doing that!
I'm incredibly excited just for the atmosphere and music.
There's one theme that sounds like Interstellar crossed with Bladerunner and I am all for it. :D
This will be the first time I have paid full price for a game in like 5 or 6 years. I played Armored Core 4 a long time ago, and I had a blast with it. FromSoft never disappoints, and I'm so hyped for this release on Friday.
So happy they are making it like the OG armored core games, AC2 was amazing and brings me back.
Loving all the AC6 vids I am getting from the reco feed. I hope one addition that FS gives later on in either an update for AC6 or for AC7 is the option or a set of weapons or parts that focus on electronic warfare to hack an enemy mech to disable them non lethally. Also opens up the option to harvest parts or weapons from enemy mechs so we can use them on our own mech or sell them for funds. Would be extra awesome if this was doable for boss fights too maybe just make it more tricky to perfectly pull off but still doable and lets us get special parts or weapons from harvesting from boss units! Up to FS if they decide to make that available from the start of new game or just give that option after NG+++++.
Something that might let us go for what can amount to a pacifist run specially when we consider how FS played with the story for this game. Having to fight characters that we grow to like can suck so bad. Having the option to disable their mechs without blowing them up or having the capacity to pull off Kira Yamato style non lethal mech destruction BS moves would be a nice thing specially if they design it where it'd be extra tricky to do somehow.
Dismembering a parts off the enemy mechs would be cool too. Pulling out the enemy FCS unit out of their mech or whatever lets them pull off the moves they abuse during their respective boss fights and letting players use a copied version of the Boss unit's moves would be nice too. Albeit adjusted for balance purposes of course. Also I hope Bamco lets FS make their next Gundam game or maybe the next Another Century's episode or maybe a FS tactics edition ripping off or straight up improving the style used in the Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 3. SEGA shat the bed so bad with that game series that it made me wish that style gets ripped off wholesale for the next Super Robot Taisen or whatever action game gets a tactical rpg spin off. OK I think I like this idea gonna go copy paste this to other videos and make a compressed version of this to FS/ Miyazaki's twitter or something!
Would be awesome if folks who like this idea would spread it around FS might just do it~
