Those two were the ones directed by Miyazaki though, so I'm assuming he prefers that style instead over slower and methodical.
But yeah, hoping for the same.

I really hope we get Character Creation for our Pilot.
Not for the Field, were it will be ACs only of course, but for walking around the base etc between missions so that we can get a real sense of scale for things etc. Walking into the Hangar and upgrading our AC etc.
Basically everything that typically happened in Menus in the Past like Mission Briefings etc.

I'm still surprised that this is aiming 2023. I guess it was developed in parallel with Elden Ring?
I can barely fathom deciding to come into a Armored Core ...*checks iteration*... SIX thread to post this of all things.
Well they have at the very least 2 teams, Sekiro team is doing this as far as I know
It was finishing up dev earlier this year, it's been well on its way to being done.
Yup, it has been in deelopment for a long time, since 2016.
Miyazaki Gives Clear Answers On The Future Of Dark Souls, Armored Core
During a recent round table at Namco Bandai headquarters in Tokyo, I asked From Software’s Hidetaka Miyazaki about the future of Dark Souls, as well as what else the studio is working on. The good news is yes, a new Armored Core is coming. The bad news is that, at least for the foreseeable...

Thats one thing I wish for aswell.
I'm very open to anything they'll give us gameplay-wise, since I trust in FS and Yamamura especially, but I'm watching some AC4/5 walkthroughs and I cannot spot any human characters, and that's the only thing that turns me off a little.
Judging by the trailer and the game description it seems this game will give more importance to its storytelling, and I need to see faces to get involved in that tbh lol.
Dunno if it's a blasphemous thing to wish for, what do you diehard AC fans think?

You see it releasing early or late 2023? Q1-Q2 ER DLC, Q3 AC?
Yeah I could see that being the case, second half of the year. If it was early I assume we would've gotten a date.
I think it is just weird to need an avatar on screen on consider someone a character. Even just having only played 4 and 4A, the games had plenty of very human characters despite there only ever being hardware on the screen.
Completely doable with their current character creators. I also want something done similar to DxM where you can walk around an interactable garage area. Some of the best Armored Core cinematics feature soldier-level views of AC's and its terrifying. There is a lot of character in AC games, and it could potentially connect you more intimately with hireable wingmen which was a feature in some of the AC3 line games.
I hope to god we do not get human characters. In all the AC games we are a faceless merc doing the bidding of the highest paid corporation. We are not good guys. You are just some rando pilot in a big robot. I like the coldness of it all. AC universe has always been bleak, I would dare say bleaker than the Soul series considering how some of the games end; looking at you For Answer!
That was like more than a decade ago tho, before Demon Souls and before his ascension to
But yes, finger crossed they dial down the speed, especially if they want to go with mission with more proper level design.
I'm watching videos of AC4 and 5 and my god, we really went through a whole gen of practically monochrome brown and gray games, didn't we?
I don't really know how seeing pilots enhances the experience at all, tbh, especially when the mechs will be more interesting visually.
I don't even think it's a steep learning curve as such, it's more the fact that it's a very niche genre. They're hard games for sure, but it's a different style of difficult to approach than the Souls 'just a very obtuse and difficult action RPG' style. Like if you look past Souls games difficulty and inherent vagueness, gameplay wise you're left with a fairly run of the mill video game; with AC, you have robot tuning simulator and mech combat which is mainly a shooter unlike most other shooters.
There'll obviously be a load of newcomers who'll love it, but I think for a lot of people, overcoming a difficult Souls game is easier than trying to get into a genre as unwelcoming as this.
Yep pretty much. It's all about the long game and short game is for going in for the kill maybe they improve the short game a bit so that's prob at most I see it change a little bit.
Man it's so good.
Here are some HQ screens. Insane how well they conveyed the themes in the CGI.
Ohhhhh, Elden Core. Excellent grabs. Thanks, mate!
From what little I played of Daemon X Machina's demo, I bounced off the human avatars and dialog of that game hard. Like I wanted a story out of the game's missions, and I wouldn't be opposed to an anime-esque story all things considered, but I didn't want Star Fox-tier dialog and banter coming from them during gameplay either. The premise AC games have as a lone mercenary taking jobs for governments and corporations oddly sounds more appealing, even if it's lighter on narrative comparatively.
I just want the game to be fast hopefully they don't slow it down at all. Slow and methodical gameplay ain't the way for this.

I spoke to Omnipotent about Armored Core VI. He said it is an "Armored Core-ass Armored Core game" and said, regarding the vague concept of a kind of "Armored Souls" mix of gameplay style/influence: "it's very much not that".
To add to the above ^ here's what Omnipotent said to me in detail, he asked me to post this on his behalf (since he left Era a while back):

Damn, this might be 4-5 months away then, not too long of a wait. If it his this summer like everything else is...oh boy.
At this rate the scavenging shot might not be a part of the game at all lmao
I can respect the series being true to its roots but it kinda hurts to have an element of a game trailer not pan out to be as important as it initially seemed, especially one that contrasted the action so well

we'll said Morrigan
Not sure why everyone jumped on the idea that it would be mech souls, and while I would love that too most likely. AC has been a third person shooter since the ps1 so it's best to assume that's what we will get again. Pandering trailer aside.
As an AC loyalist since I was like… 10, I'm hoping it is still AC not ACSouls.
Though looking at the trailer it looks like dash boosting is coming back and if it's like what 4!devolved into I'll get my barf bag ready 😂

Hey I actually wouldn't mind Armored Souls at all lol. In fact I'd probably prefer it... but I'll likely still give this a chance, because From has one hell of a track record now
I think it will feel more arcadey than Souls games do if that makes sense. Probably because of the shooting.
I think a lot of people are mentioning souls like with respect to Armored Core is because of From's press release which mentions combining Armored Core Mecha action with gameplay seen in From's recent action games.
"ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON will offer a game experience based on the mech game know-how FromSoftware cultivated over 25 years of developing games in the series, but now introducing groundbreaking gameplay found in the developer's recent action games. The new ARMORED CORE title will combine these elements into thrilling action that only mechas can provide. The game promises to be a unique entry in the mech action game genre."

Yikes i switch to 1080p from 360p and i swear the quality didn't change at all.
This ... Actually makes me think it will be "armored souls" in the way that sekiro is souls-adjacent. He's definitely not dispelling that idea here. Just seems like he's making a semantic argument about how we define a souls game. I sort of fully expect an armored core game with some souls elements now
What more needs to be said "an Armored Core ass Armored Core game"
What is actually going to happen is that core AC mechanics and design are going to be misattributed to Souls lol
I'm just saying, to me, it sounds more likely to have souls elements now than before I read that. Sekiro shares a lot of elements of souls. So his bringing that game up doesn't convince me that this game won't incorporate more elements of souls than previous armored core games
It is time, cannot wait.
I used to be a diehard AC fan, played one of them on Ps2 and it was forgettable. With the current hardware I am expecting something amazing.

Exactly. Thats why you have so many parts to begin with. There are a ton of parts with sub categories within the same category and later games give you even more granularity with part tuning so you can bring the closest thing you can to the perfect tool for the jobs ahead. The only thing the game really asks of you is to experiment to see what is effective at doing what. Theres usually a test room where you can try out all those combinations at zero cost to you as well. So in that one aspect its user friendly.
Exactly and again their own press release mentions blending mecha gameplay with From's recent action games.
Thanks for the confirmations. It's exactly what I thought.
I honestly don't know how you read all that and got that conclusion. Armored core pre-dates Souls games and the reality is some things that were in AC made it into souls. Things like managing weight, having flexibility in your builds. Etc. It was Miyazakis first perspective in game design. When he got into it. So that's why it's easy to see why they came back to it and also why he's not making an armored souls because he respects what armored core is and what it isn't.
I much prefer sleek mecha designs but I'm curious to see what else they have to show.
Also nice to see another child of the fence!
