It looked like ass. Using AC-type mecha to do Gundam shit just looks stupid and unwieldy. Also that texture compression made my eyes bleed.

>>14985726

Looks fun, has a lot of the staff from pre-AC4. The trailer seemed to want to show off the cell shading and the mechs first off.

I wanna be fugged by those robots

>>14985749

Yeah, those fights with the much larger mecha look scripted as hell, and I hope they don't make up much of the game play.

And it's the switch. I don't think games that aren't nearly 10 years old or cell shaded can operate on the damned thing. At the very least the mechs are designed LOOK like AC to a tee.

Are the PSP AC any good?

>>14986098

nah, play 3. it's PS2 jank but it's comfy

>>14985749

>It looked like ass. Using AC-type mecha to do Gundam shit looks stupid

Congrats, you're retarded consider Shoji Kawamori designed AC mechs

>>14986098

only play the psp version if you are autistic about getting extra parts and playing online,but i would avoid it like the plague

It's made by MARVELOUS so it's gonna be good.

I like the way it looks, tbh, Considering how ass 4A and 5 looked, I'll take a Chromehounds-esque loo.

The Producer of 2 and 3 is at the helm, and 3 was pretty great.

Pre-4 AC on the go without shit controls seems like my jam.

Best game of E3

>>14987720

No one cares what you think homo.

>Dumbed down customization

>Cartoon art style

>Ridiculous fantasy weapons

>Scripted "epic" boss fights

This isn't AC, this is gundamshit, only positive is they had the presence of mind to have similar mech designs

>>14988005

>t. nintoddler

>>14988053

So it's better than AC, right?

>>14988053

>Dumbed down customization

Based on what? The trailer didn't really show anything besides combat

>Ridiculous fantasy weapons

What? Where? The swords? Pretty much all the games have had physical blades.

>Scripted boss fights

Yeah. I'm worried about that too. I really hope those aren't scripted.

>Cartoon artstyle

It's the switch. It's going to have that. I think it looks alright, better then whatever the fuck ACV/VD was trying to go for.

As an aside, whatever happened to that mech game from last E3 that looked like AC, but with some ground combat.? Did that get canned into this?

>>14988127

>whatever happened to that mech game from last E3 that looked like AC, but with some ground combat?

You mean Left Alive? That is supposed to be set in the Front Mission universe. But it may as well be canceled since there is absolutely no news about it since last year.

>>14988127

>Based on what?

There are articles floating around with quotes about the game being simplified for accessibility

I haven't been able to pin down an actual source for any of it, but they mention specific game mechanics like destructible environments too, so it's hard to tell if it's bullshit

>>14988223

>However, each of the mechs shown seems to have completely different looks to them.

Well yeah, I wouldn't expect them to not have visual customization, that was the entire point behind the design concept of "armored cores" to begin with

But getting super autistic about the function was my favorite part, I almost like being a mech mechanic more than I like piloting them

>>14988261

Designing mechs might be fun, but what's the point if it's so autistic that nobody plays the game, so you don't get a chance to actually play against people? ACV and ACVDs problem, was that 80% of the parts were useless because of how overly complex the stats were. AC4 and FA shared this issue, but with the added shitheap that was the chip system that you had to autitiscally grind mission to fully max out to even be able to compete vs other players.

>>14988472

I would be perfectly fine if customization was focused on something other than tons of stat micromanaging as long as it still had a similar amount of complexity, but that would be way more development work

>>14985726

Will wait until actual gameplay instead of glorified bullshots come out but I'm liking the designs at the very least.

>>14987720

>emulating worst AC

That looks nothing like V.

>>14989016

5/VD > 4/FA

4/FA doesn't even play like Armored Core game. It's just shit.

>>14987720

Congratz on being a kewl contrarian. Here's a (YOU).

>>14986098

The only good AC PSP game is Formula Front, because you can let the AI in your ACs handle the terrible controls.

>>14990028

I said V, not VD. For those four it goes VD>FA>4>shit>V. V was fucking terrible for anyone who didn't care for multiplayer.

>>14990053

You are shit.

>>14986115

>a single person can't design things in different ways

Are you sure you're not the retard, anon?

>>14985726

The game looks fine but makes me wish for AC6. The gameplay looks nothing like AC.

>>14990089

The gameplay looks close enough to AC for me, gliding around on the ground. Strafing fire while dodging, with the ability to take off and engage in air combat.

But again, those fucking scripted-looking big robot battles have me worried.

>>14990053

Considering the game as an online multiplayer game, V had a way better conquest system, while VD had way better balance. The amount of bullshit in V was incredible. Anyone else remember the bullshit in V that was the stunlock hoverquad?

honestly, E3 didn't do to bad this year. It was boring, Sony was poz as fuck, but man did we get some games. I'm excited for this.

This game looks promising but its pretty clearly a far ways away from releasing. Will be watching but not with that much anticipation.

>>14988121

Only if you're so terrible at using the controls in 4A that even Not MTs could kick your ass, if you ditch the tank controls when emulating the PS2 games then it's even easier.

>>14991342

>strafing and dodging/ shooting is an AC mechanic

Flying sure as fuck isn't though.

They said they're Showing Daemon X Machina next.

Could anyone give me the gist of the armoured core games? Are they similar to any other games?

>>14992525

Third person mecha shooters with heavy emphasis on personal customization, from weapons to parts to stuff like targeting computers and radiators. Generally you play a mercenary hired by various mega-corps to fuck up other mega-corps stuff.

>>14992538

I get this is a pasta but what swear word starts with F but only has three letters?

>>14992623

Fun

Watching the E3 demonstration, the game plays pretty much exactly like AC2, with a slower more methodical pace. If you liked the original trilogy, you'll like this game it seems.

>>14992525

Not really. Armored core is a mech fighting game where your robot is completely customization, with a bunch of different parts. The game got progressivly faster until V, where they slowed the game down immensely. The most popular entries are the 2 series (2 had a bunch of spin-off games that all act more like expansion packs) 3 and For Answer (A spin off of 4). Each game features two primary modes, the story mode and the arena mode. Arena mode is just a tower of progressivly harder opponents. Story mode is a chain of missions that branch a bit in terms of story.

2 is the best starting point and the 'purest' experience you can get.

>>14992803

I don't like it at all. AC is dead. The garage was nice, but it was still a static collection on the wall, of your garage list. I would have liked to see equipping actually mounts to the AC inside the garage via cranes/mechanics. Also they never tried seamless open world yet. garage is a damn hub to teleport to other zone levels. I want to see the building-tall AC get put into a capsule and air dropped like in AC2 cinematic or Adeptus Astartes orbital deployments in wh40k.

>>14992870

>AC us dead

Nigger what? We got a new AC game right here made by the developers of 2 and 3.

>>14992647

>If you liked the original trilogy, you'll like this game it seems.

I didn't, I liked the games after 2. This game is looking kind of bad, especially the framerate.

>>14992931

>I liked the games after 2

Someone needs to read what "Trilogy" means.

>>14992918

Dead to me. I don't like the cell shading, the absurd big boss, cartoony bomb-smoke, weird shrinking white cubes on enemies. AC was about being the elite of elites, piloting one of the only mechs in the world. It had a dark story with pressing missions where characters died. Buildings collapsing is a meme they had in AC4fa, whoop dee doo. Those desert buildings look literally the same, just slightly taller.

Those flying mechanics however are very nice.

>>14992982

>getting pissy over an art style

>>14992982

>Cell shading

Fair enough. it's likely to be a divisive change.

>the absurd big boss

The hell are you on about with this one? AC has always had big absurd boss fights. Like the final boss of AC2

>Shrinking white cube

That's just the targeting system. it's just not a big red square this time.

>story

Did any of the stuff they showed really touch on the story that much?

>Building collapsing woop-de-doo

What are you on about with this point…? Seems like you're just trying to find faults by this point.

>>14992982

>big boss

>bad

>he doesn't remember RAVEN M-MONSTER

cum on step it up

>>14992792

looks fuckin gr8.

I'm happy we're getting a pre4 AC

>>14992982

>piloting one of the only mechs in the world.

MTs are mechs, dingdong, and some games have well over fifty registered Ravens in the arena.

I dont mind the shading, but I hope that its going to have a variety of areas and palletes and not just a ton of red. Glad to see the customization is there, hope we can get quad legs and such, and some custom paint job designs. this is what I wanted from xenoblade x to be honest

>>14993461

50 Ravens out of the billions on the planet's populace, where mega corporations employ said mercenaries to fight against the other mega corps, darn sorry that's a big percent of the populace.

You know something is wrong with that big boss in the video, it just doesn't fit. Its like something you would see on an arcade game like Border Break, EDF or something. The big bio-weapons of AC2-3 or mega moving monuments were slow and had missile launchers on every inch of its body. This big AC boss has no reason, its just "big", probably to fight other big mechs.

>>14993795

How is this relevant at all?

>>14993765

This isn't AC, though. Just because it's a mech game by a lot of the same people, doesn't mean its meant to be just like the AC games they worked on. They're clearly going for a different kind of setting and story. You're going "AC is dead" over a game that is explicitly not part of the AC franchise.

>Literal giant katanas

>Not even some kind of technological mech katana, just a big ass regular sword

kill me

Being able to walk around the garage is neat, though they could do a lot more with it

Just watched the Treehouse gameplay, it looks pretty good, can't wait to see what the final title brings.

>>14991342

>V

>Good conquest

You mean that broke ass shit where fag teams would wait until the last second for ai takeover, enter and then dc from a match while their second team fought the AI to keep their areas?

That shit was broken. It was trash and why I have yet to play VD. Did it get a decent singleplayer this time?

>>14994835

I heard your V conquest experience really just depends on the server you were on. NA 360 was pretty vibrant. You still had those fag teams, but there was still quite a bit of competition between teams to get the top spots for each zone, right up until the servers were officially closed. I heard ps3 for EU was an absolute shitshow in comparison. The conquest in VD butchered the conquest mode, with teams now fighting for one of 3 factions, which reset like, weekly. It lacked any permanence or personal glory, so nobody bothered with the only thing that arguably kept the game alive on NA360 servers, even after the servers were merged to just be Intl and JP.

And VD had a comparable single-player to V. Nothing really new honestly.

>>14994852

That was NA 360 servers, the time I played those teams dominated the map. I went a couple months as the top ranked merc, then joined a crew that went nowhere because we didn't have enough members to put a bunch of teams up at once so they couldn't do faggot shit like that.

>>14994864

What specific teams? I can only remember the one in AF that had the 2nd place team put out their fires.

>>14994871

Was 6-7 fucking years ago or so I don't remember shit sorr m8

>>14994900

That's too bad. Maybe we played during different times, but to my knowledge, all the teams did actually fight for territory, I even lead a team to grabbing the #1 spot in ABC for quite some time.

So is this gonna be shit?

>>14996640

All games are shit, anon.

Until they get old, then they are good

>>14996640

I dunno. It's being made by an experienced team who made arguably the best AC games, and from interviews they've given, they seem pretty passionate about this sorta thing.

Might be the AC game we've been wanting or it might be shit.

>>14997369

I was wondering about that as well. Apparently some of the AC staff are working on it and the mech design is very similar. It's still weird to compare them.

>>14997417

>mech game

>same/ similar design to AC

>"Woah guys, it's the newest AC game except it's totally different in every other aspect"

That seems unreasonable.

>>14997445

>fuck this game for not being AC, even though it's literally not AC, and has no obligation to be AC

I think we're dealing with some weapons grade autism here.

It's nothing like AC, this ACTUALLY looks good.

>>14997467

I was argueing your point, anon. I agree with you. I disagree with this faggot. >>14997462

>>14997492

I know. What the fuck is his problem?
