    People might be taking it a little too literally.

    They could be talking about level and boss design for instance. It doesn’t mean they’ll be throwing some variation of bonfires and s*** in the game.

    Very true. Either way FromSoft can do wrong, goats

    It’d be kind of wild otherwise, it’s a pretty niche franchise.

    I’m super curious if they can transform it into something as commercially and critically successful as Soulsborne.

    Souls was a niche franchise too but yeah expectations might be rough on them after the success of ER

    Sekiro's lead game designer working on this has me very interested. This series started the patches tradition and could be one of the few cool mecha games i cannot overlook It!!!

    never knew hidetaka directed armored core for answer in 2008 gonna have to go play that one

  • Dec 10, 2022

    So is this just all mechs ? No pilots (humans).

    If it’s just mechs it would be quite the challenge to design unique and very distinct looking bosses.

    Well looking at videos it's completely different gameplay wise from souls games

    Last armored core was 10 years ago, so interesting to see how they'll innovate and improve on the formula I would assume they'll stick with

    Reading on the press releases this really sounds like this will be more of a souls like than we think

    And in my head a from soft souls like with massive machines in a postapocalyptic sci fi space world sounds amazing

    I imagine massive larger than life fabrics that somehow incorporate the dense and detailed from software level design but on a massive scope

    On one hand I would love that because we have no good souls like games set in the future

    On the other hand I don’t want FROM to become a one trick pony

    I wouldnt consider having the best level design and difficulty in the business one trick pony.

    Maybe the go up a notch on what they started with sekiro in terms of maneuvering the environment. Also I definitely think this thing here will have a much improved ranged combat something I always thought was lackluster in their games

    I was just talking about the combat mainly

    I think it’s cool if they incorporate some things from their recent games into this but it just feels like a loss of identity for AC

    Then again the controls are horrendous and the gameplay is not nearly as fun as souls like games so maybe it’ll be a good refresher

    I know what Armored Core is lol, no s*** it didnt play like Souls it was before Souls nowadays 💀💀

    I played AC games & multiple FS games before Demons Souls since the PS1 lol before i even knew their name. Just said itt that Chromehounds is one of my fav games of the 360 era, Otogi series is one of my favs on the og xbox, n shadow tower on ps2. All of this is before Miyazaki & most of those old FS developers arent there anymore outside of a few.

    Im saying a NEW MODERN TODAY Armored Core will probabaly be "just robot souls".

    Which isnt far fetched lmao.

    Sekiro started out as a Tenchu reboot then got soulsified which became Sekiro. Which Tenchu plays nothing like Souls either originally & is where the stealth n tools gameplay came from for Sekiro. Yeah Sekiro is also diff from reg souls the most out their current titles but not by a gigantic margin, its enemy design, level design & boss design is still very much souls based while the gameplay is Tenchu x Souls with its own spin.

    Not unrealistic. Its the formula the whole current company is used too & all their systems are built for.

    Not hard to make AC a bit more action focused, theres rumors already that its having way more melee focused instead of just a back up button. Only difference would be sorting out more of a modern shooting mechanic along with it, which Remnant From the Ashes exists already so not impossible.

    Give it crazy bosses with more of souls-y camera n layout + structured levels n its own twist then boom, "robot/scifi souls".

    Which people have been begging for a good sci-fi souls game to come out. Would be a win-win for the company.

    Who knows, but not out of the realm.

    i dont think ive been wrong in this section yet damn

    another +1 for the Water

    AC UI & control scheme is ass but everything else about it is cool for a 3rd person shooter game, but AC convoluted systems & hella inputs didnt fly back then & def wont today

    it is def not going to be "classic" AC at all

    AC UI/menus/stats are literally just nerd spread sheets & raw code lmao it has its charm but is def confusing & not pretty + info overload asl n clunky

    plus AC has hella "combo"-like (theyre not combos) inputs for tons of actions that is also convulted. Like hold trigger push triangle and tap x to launch this set of missles.

    A modern AC was always gonna get changed from its... CORE

    Yep Elden Ring 2 is gonna be ridiculous

    watched Vaati's video on "Should you be excited for Armored Core" and he talked about a leaker. Leaker mentioned a bossfight and that movement/speed seemed very soulslike
