just fucking kill me already
Fromsoft will just continue to shit out soulslike games and will never make another armored core game again
You already got 20 games, more than the vast majority of series get on their lifetime, against five Soulsborne games and that series is finished for good (Sekiro was very different).
Stop being an ungrateful asshole.
Armored core sucks ass and you should be grateful that they are using their resources to create actually good games.
That's probably for the best, AC was never good and it's pretty evident FROM have no fucking idea how to make it good.
You're lucky the series lasted as long as it did given how niche mecha games are, especially ones that delve into hardcore autism like AC
I'd rather listen to someone whining about Otogi
AC is shit, now Chromehounds is what they should be working on.
They don't know how to make a good AC game anymore. Just look at ACV.
>the next AC game will be a souls-like and all the soulsbabbys will cling to it and pretend they were life long fans
After their bungling of Verdict Day, maybe it's for the best. Look at Daemon X Machina. They can't even make a stable framerate, and it makes V look like ACLR. and this is supposedly from several veterans of the AC series who left From.
Consider yourself lucky that AC is dead, at least you're not a Front Mission fan.
AC died with for answer user. Let it rest
and hope for a pc port anthology with online someday or get pcsx2 and join the silent community who had enough autism to get online working.
AC hasnt even been on hiatus as long as people act like it has
people just blank out when it comes to V and a new AC game is likely one of the ones they are making right now
The only good AC was 4A. Unless they release another one of those, then AC can stay dead.
>tfw you will never go fast again
>Armored Core with pvp invasions
yeah that sounds horrible who would want that haha
>AC died with for answer user
This. It hurts but it's probably for the best.
>people just blank out when it comes to V
As they should. V sucked in everyway possible. Too autistic for normies but that rock-paper-scissors shit they pulled with they weapon damage types was fucking stupid and that's before we get into the graphics or actual gameplay.
As an autism mech bro I want AC back as much as anybody but do you really need to see a giant fighting robot floss in a bad fortnite rippoff? Because that's what we'd get and you know it.
I'd love to see them evolve the territory control ideas of V/VD but in a game with actual good gameplay.
Get over it you fucking faggot. I am so sick of you fucking bastards.
Miyazaki directed 4A and his influence is obvious, bandwagon faggots mindlessly shitting on Dark Souls should be aware and show some goddamn respect for the man singlehandedly saving vidya
There hasn't been a good Armored Core since the PS2 days. Even if they make a new one they'll just fuck it up.
Weird how these posts are almost 1 minute apart from one another and have similar sentiments.
>the game FROM made that everyone forgot
>changing and dynamic world map
en.wikipedia.org
More importantly, From will never make a Cookie and Cream game again.
I didn't forget it, I remember seeing it all the time on the shelf when I was walking past the 360 section to find games for my PS3.
At least release this shit in Steam
Begone shill.
That game was a fucking dumpster fire the second tryhards started actually playing it. I thought it was cute at first, but when I realized I was losing because of the utterly disgusting way you're actually supposed to build your mech, I had to drop it.
i think from is definitely capable of making a good AC game right now especially since they just dropped a really good entirely offline game under >activision
after DS2 i think theyve stayed pretty good aside from ds3 being a slight dip in quality becaues they shit it out a year after bloodborne
I WANNA GO BACK BROS
>and this is supposedly from several veterans of the AC series who left From.
Who the fuck said this? Shoji Kawamori?
I hope we get a new AC. Dark Souls surely has to be dead and FROM seem like they want to try new things, thankfully.
>gets mad when your POS battletech looking mech gets hosed by a triple double or a gator sniper
I bet you lost to the wonderbread CPUs too
I would unironically buy the fuck out of some PC ports right now. There's a lot of PS3 games just entering the nostalgia zone that I would love to play but I've become too accustomed to simple pleasures like 60FPS, actual 1080p, and proper AA.
I've been thinking about this a lot lately too, OP. From Software will always be "the Armored Core guys" to me first and foremost.
I kind of want them to make an AC game that basically plays similar to a Soulsborne game but keeps the customization aspects of AC.
new shadow tower game when
>or actual gameplay.
V/D has the best gameplay in the series bar none, but most of the cucks who complain about it are actually terrible and will never actually reach the heights that the gameplay permits advanced players. Honestly I can understand most of the complaints, because the upper ceiling is ludicrously high, but you can always spot someone who is bad at 5th gen by how much they bitch about the actual irrelevant concepts inside of it, rather than the game's genuine issues.
youtu.be
>V/D has the best gameplay in the series bar none
Epic
Even 4/4A was better than the dumpster tier gameplay V/D had.
Yeah dude it must be a conspiracy, we're all bots sent by the central AI to establish the basic conceptual reality meant to keep you enslaved
Uh what are we shilling again? Get a grip retard
>Brainless floaty combat
>Most weapon types are utterly worthless outside of missiles, machineguns, and blades
>99% of online battles are determined by the game's mediocre syncing with attacks, meaning that most sniper shots, rifle shots, plasma rifle, bazooka, any cannon, and most shotgun bullets miss because the game didn't load your shots in properly
>Heavy builds are quite literally worthless outside of a small number of tank builds, and even then, they are horribly outclassed by any LBP, LRJ, or Quad build
>AA is a great gimmick ruined by its delay in a game which is lightning fast
I love playing FA, but it's a fucking mess the second you actually play with any modicum of proficiency in an online match. Unless you're talking about exclusively the story mode, which is trivial at its absolute hardest beyond Occupation of Arteria Carpals.
BUT WHAT ABOUT CHROMEHOUNDS
Everyone knows the only reason to play 4A was lightweight blade jousting on the infinite energy server. Shit was amazing.
It was either that or infinite energy guns only, where you spent 99% of the fight in OB trying to get driveby shots in with your rifle.
The switching between scan and combat mode is enough to throw it in the trash.
Good.
I can agree with that. There's a lot more depth to 5's gameplay.
But I can understand the reaction coming from 4. Combat was so stylish, the ACs were so fucking sexy. It was mecha porn through and through.
It's a key feature to permit you to have something to do between shots and safety. The huge increase in your energy gain for shots you're not actually using is good for fat generators and the recon/xray vision that you get is something you don't want fucking up your normal field of vision, but is invaluable if all you're doing is hiding behind a wall.
Hey, good things come at a high price.
Metal Gear is the reason ZoE died.
>Metal Gear is the reason ZoE died.
What the hell is the good thing in this deal?
Your wish is granted. Armored Souls will be next up on the agenda. The follow-up will of course be Dark Core. You're welcome.
Doesn't the guy who directed Armored Core not work in From anymore?
Armored Core doesn't sell, like at all.
i unironically wish they'd make a sequel to this for two reasons: the soulstards would have a meltdown, and it was actually a unique game.
I've played AC 1-SL, and can't get into Nexus. What am I missing? Also how do I mod my PS2 so I can finally play Last Raven?
MAV is supposed to be a Chromehounds clone
King's Field reboot when?
If From made another Armored Core, would Vaati make lore videos of it?
Nexus sucks don't worry about it.
>Vaati
>King's Field reboot
It's called Demon's Souls.
I mean a real reboot, not one for zoomers.
>Zoomers
Discard any post with this
>demon's souls
>zoomers
Alright, it's bedtime.
That's the Zelda character, right?
DeS is quintessential zoomercore.
Correct.
Now this is peak buzzwording.
that's a thick robot
>The most obvious question, then, was whether or not From Software was making a new entry in its long-running mecha series. I asked if they were making a new Armoured Core to which [Miyazaki] replied, "We are making a new Armoured Core. We are still in the early stages of development." I asked how early, and Miyazaki replied, "I can't talk about how early it is."
Dark Souls is confirmed to be dead.
Imagine if we just got one complete and fleshed out sequel instead of two shitty rushed ones.
So to mod a PS2 to play ISOs I need
>Memory card with freemcboot
>Fat PS2
>DVD-R disc drive to burn ISOs
Anything else?
It never needed a sequel in the first place. I'd just rather that neither sequel existed. Not everything needs a sequel; some things are best left as a stand alone.
Why not just use an emulator?
Last Raven doesn't seem to emulate well in PCSX2. It's got a weird blur, some graphical issues and feels kind of slow
Not him but I can't get LR to run decently on PCSX2
Was it really that bad?
He'd show up far after all of the other normies start swarming it because it's "Dark Souls, but Mecha!!!" and claim he's been a longtime fan, but never do content on 1st-5th gen AC beyond random references.
Wouldn't mind giving Emma Sears some deep heavy customisation
You'll get no argument from me there, but you'd think after the runaway success of Dark Souls that maybe a publisher would give them the time and money to make a game that fully explores concepts and ideas from the first that had to be cut or didn't fully make it in. Instead we got two games of Bamco milking From dry.
Who's Vaati?
Looks cute. I hope this actually goes somewhere and we get another cute mech game.
The main antagonist from The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap.
Tenchu fans have it much much worse. Watching Sekiro is like seeing a what-if scenario of your favorite franchise magically being resurrected, only it's not a thing born of this world. It's just demonic puppet, dancing merrily under the moon light. You see the similarities, you see what could have been. But now you kind of wish you hadn't glimpsed it to begin with.
>More of a good thing is bad because it makes the first one less of a special snowflake
Go fuck yourself. Grind Dark Souls into the ground until it's an utter piece of shit nobody likes. I don't give a fuck. I'll enjoy it until it's no longer enjoyable and Dark Souls 2 and 3 were fucking enjoyable.
This is in a goddamn thread were people are whining that the 16th Armored Core game isn't out yet. Nothing is sacred. Nobody cares. Video games are entertainment products for the purpose of making money. There's nothing wrong with this.
People say it's a return to form or something. I started at For Answer so I prefer the games like that.
Sekiro is Tenchu but better, though.
>That spacing
I think I know who's behind this
I'd unironically play Dark Souls after a new AC is released. I've been boycotting soulsborne shit for years now.
Yeah right, after the abomination that was Tenchu 4 nothing could faze me
I booted it up a few days ago just to see if it held up and no, it was more retarded than I even remembered. Just the first cutscene alone ruins every single Tenchu chara that we came to love not to mention the retarded ninja puzzle gameplay
Souls series died in 2016, user.
>HURR DURR REDDIT SPACING
Really go fuck yourself.
There it is, the seethe.
If the person who made this picture even played King's field they would know that the game has an even bigger crutch than the estus flask in the form of easily refillable super potions that max health mp and remove status. You can also get a ridiculous amount of them at once and teleport from anywhere. You just can't do this until like 2 hours in.
>Proving his point
It died after Dark Souls 1
>at least you're not a Front Mission fan
>play armored core 4
>see an enemy NEXT named Carrion Crow
>even FROM software remembers
m.youtube.com
Speaking of Front Mission, should I skip the first game on DS?
I mean the series is dead in the sense that there will be no more subsequent Dark Souls games.
>skipping the best one
Tenchu 4? There was no Tenchu 4, just Z and a godawful Wii game. If you're talking about the latter, then I agree, but that was just a dumb move by dumb developers. Dark Souls also had a shit entry, but that game has been churned out for the past 10 years nonstop. Eat shit
>2 sequels and Bloodborne
LITERALLY NONSTOP FOR A DECADE
>Fromsoft made a big home for itself in the PC market with Souls
>the closest thing we have to an Armored Core on PC is fucking Front Mission Evolved
Aside from ACV, that's all From has done this entire decade and DS2/3 weren't exactly flattering entries.
>Moving goalposts
It's literally called Tenchu 4 in Japan you fucking dipshit
And even worse it was what happened when Tenchu went back to its original developer Acquire who did 1 & 2
People used to bitch about K2's Tenchus being casualized and retarded (sort of true) and then T4 swoops in and completely fucking kills the series in spectacular fashion
What's the best Tenchu?
I liked Z.
Sekiro
The first one.
2. The level creator is rad as fuck.
Find a flaw.
1 for Kino
2 for plot (lol)
Wrath of Heaven for all around goodness and anime bullshit
Fatal Shadows for challenge and grrl power
Z for the pinnacle of Tenchu gameplay and create-your-own-ninja
Honestly just play them all from start to fini- uh to Z and no further
Shit man I gotta replay Z. I miss it, but I kinda don't wanna dig out my xbox.,..
The controls.
Z was soulless but still oh so good
God if only it had a mission creator and wasn't on the fucking Xbox360, I don't know if mine even works anymore
How long until Bandai Namco decides to develop their own Dark Souls 4 without From Software be involved on the production?
What the fuck do you think Code Vein is?
Honestly I wouldn't mind this at all, it can't be worse than any of the other "Soulslike" attempts and it might be fun
At worst it would cause amazing shitstorms
Vaporware
>we have droughts even with Lake Roosevelt
They can't make an actual Dark Souls 4 without From. They IP is jointly owned. The Bandai Namco arrangement was just a global publishing deal. From self published in Japan and the game would have still come out in Japan at least without Bamco.
They should just buy it from From. Miyazaki will be relieved he'll never be forced to make another Dark Souls ever again and can spend the cash on reviving old From properties and we'll eventually get a whacky Dark Souls flavored fighting game or some shit
