UPDATE! Here's a recent interview with Miyazaki, where he specifies that the game is staying true to its Armored Core roots: https://www.ign.com/articles/armored-core-6-looks-to-be-more-armored-core-than-soulsborne?utm_source=twitter

Considering all the evidence I presented in this video, I still think that the game will have some new elements, but I'm glad that they're honoring the old Armored Core style. I'll encourage everyone to try Armored Core no matter what, and I'm excited to see gameplay and finally understand what's going on with this franchise

I remember watching my dad play Armored Core when I was a kid and not being able to understand what was going on only knowing that he really loved these games, and then I play all the souls games and when he sees me play them he has no clue what's happening and I completely blew his mind when I told him that the people that made elden ring and dark souls also made armored core. His hype for this is quite insane.

@stalhein62 3 years ago

Man I cannot wait to see what insane variety of poison swamps Miyazaki will put in this one

@Ma55BrowProductions 3 years ago

Hoping that with FromSoft's fame nowadays, this can not only reinvigorate the Armored Core franchise, but also the mecha genre in general!

@Derpykins02 3 years ago

about the poison swamp thing: there was a mission in the very first armored core game that had you going through an underground bunker that had purple gas going through the entire place and this gas dealt damage to you're AC over time. so it may not be a swamp, but it is a massive poison area that most people hated going through...the good ol' From Soft treatment...

@cloudbloom 3 years ago

I love the genuine surprise and excitement on Miyazaki's face when they announced the GOTY award for Elden Ring

@FauxRegard 3 years ago

I've been an Armored Core fan for the last 23 years and I can't even put it into words how emotional I got seeing this. I hope entire new generations of gamers come to appreciate this series because it's what put FromSoftware on the map in the gaming industry.

@ChrisPBacon-yy1fz 3 years ago

The art direction is absolutely phenomenal

@detrickz1295 3 years ago (edited)

This game series is so underrated. The customization and depth. The high speed group battles in PvP. Now that Fromsoft is on the mainstream this game series will finally be put on the map. One of my favorite mech games.

@Not_Fuzzy 3 years ago

I used to watch my dad play this game (20 years ago?) I can’t wait to tell him about this, something I love (fromsoft) and something he loves, that we can share now that I am older.

@2ddude96 3 years ago

the amount of customization these games had back in the day is outstanding and fromsoft has only gotten better at attention to detail. The build crafting on here is about to be wild

@wollins7244 3 years ago (edited)

That first shot of the trailer being nearly identical to the intro of Dark Souls 1 was extremely heart warming

@scubarubanzaii 3 years ago

I’m an OOOOLD fan of the series, and I’m SUPER interested to see how they do this.

In my opinion, the games themselves were basically precursors to the “souls-like” concept already, so it’ll work perfectly.

@SilverNightbane 3 years ago

One thing to note is that like every Fromsoft game, every Armored Core game also has the Moonlight Blade, usually being one of if not the strongest melee weapon in the game should your unit be able to meet its power and weight requirements.

@shamwow3615 3 years ago

I experienced armored core at like 7 years old with armored core 2, recently got to go back and play the older games and i literally screamed like a little girl when i saw "From Software" across the screen with mechs, i'm glad this is a reality and hopefully this puts the game back on the map

@funkydiabetic2442 3 years ago

This has been a project Miyazaki has been wanting to work on for a long time. I'm confident FromSoft will handle it properly!

@lemanruss7218 3 years ago

Long term fan from the late 90s here. I cannot begin to tell you the hype from within my very soul for this game. AC has always been souls like in its difficulty and complexity in builds. If you want to play through the series and preform well you need to spend time and master not only the mechanics, but understand what you're going up against and what tools are best for the job, as well as your own limitations (speed, health, ammo cap, radar for best map, targeting jammer, the list goes on)

@Zayl1016 3 years ago

Two things overlooked about AC, especially the recent ones, are the impressive as hell boss fights that are Colossus-like. And the story in recent ones are actually damn good and branching where you can become basically a true villain where every one of your allies, even the lady who gave you your mission briefs and in-game updates, desperately try to stop you.

@TreeTop10 3 years ago

In previous armor core games Ravens were unique pilots that were in high demand because they were better pilots but they were usually mercenaries and you had to pay top dollar to get one. The red glow was a dead giveaway that you were facing a Raven, so my thoughts would be this new substance is a means to create new Raven level pilots or something of that nature.

@Thightanic 3 years ago

Only played AC4 but I remember the super in depth customization of your mech. Not only in looks but the weapons, radars, your thrusters, and such. Being able to prep for the mission by switching or upgrading pieces for different mission needs. Very very hype for this game
