What was his fucking problem?

>>23464967
He's the Jerid of the game, except he isn't able to kill 621's girlfriend because she's a voice in his head that calls him studmuffin.

UPDATE THE FFFFUCKING NEWS SECTION

>>23464956 (OP)
AC6 would be a good template for a racing game ala IGPX.

>>23465024
it doesn't really have racing game handling

>>23465023

and they were buddies

>>23464468
The missile barrages that required some very specific timing. Like I'd hop when it happened but most of the time get caught by the big cluster. The verts were no problem, it was just the big blob of missiles that goes straight for me.

Do you evet think we'll get official PCA model kits?

>>23466835
No, humans are still in Sol (references to Jupiter War in logs and part descriptions). I believe in the 3/三 turning side way to river/川 so Rubicon 3 is a direct reference to 'crossing the Rubicon' theory.

>>23465027
Just play with assault boost, add some obstacle around the track, and encourage shooting your opponent. There, racing armored core.

my armoured core is giga chad

Ephemera tits

>>23467355
Your build makes me wish the head part with the pompadour was in AC6.

>>23466835
>>23466837
Why wouldn't the Rubiconians end up buying Earth-originated trains if they are good?

>>23466835
>>23466837
I like that 4-5-6 are now a timeline though

>>23467357
Ephemera balls (on the back of the head)

I got chrome head, find it pound it
I got steel arms, turn it beat it

>>23467355
It looks racist

>>23465418
The miniature makes it look like a spiderman lightbulb.

>>23468019
The low profile and large contact area make it well suited for racism.

>>23467694
What if it's just convergent engineering?

Are Headbringer (Iguazu Melander C3), Cannonhead (Volta Tiang Qiang with tank legs) and maybe VP-40 the most likely candidates to get merchandised for the Bandai's 30MM line?

Headbringer, Cannonhead and Locksmith all have acrylic stands so they are considered as major characters.

Tian Qiang mould they could release vanilla version and Cannonhead variant.

Melander C3 could release Headbringer and Tenderfoot, not sure if they will make vanilla as it is too similar to HD-11 Melander.

It will be hard to fathom if they don't release both Cannonhead and Headbringer.

Locksmith requires a VP-40 and head and legs of HD-11 Melander. Head and legs are always on separate runners. A vanilla VP-40 and a Locksmith release could be likely.

Mixing vanilla VP-4 and Melander parts could produce many custom variants that builders could paint themselves.

Firmeza mould for the RLF characters if lucky.

How do stun gun work? How would you build them?

>>23468077
I wish 6 had some old-school dungeon crawl levels like the og games had
I suppose some parts of act 2 are like that when you explore the Grids but Vascular Plant would have been a sweet part of the game if you had to ascend it like the tower of the big bad evil.

>>23470004
watchpoint alpha is like that aesthetically but it's far too linear
i feel like they wanted to do dungeon crawler levels but it's incompatible with 6th gen gameplay in a few ways:
1. 6 has no minimap radar or automap to make maze traversal easier
2. 6 has auto checkpoints that are excellent for linear levels but are also incredibly janky outside of that
3. both long range (missile spam) and close range (AB rushing) combat doctrines in 6 rely on open spaces to work. closed in levels with a lot of cover emasculate their usefulness

>>23470160
it's time to move on, genuinely

fromsoft's twitter account hasn't even said anything......... the armored core twitter hasn't posted anything since last month...............

>>23470160
Can't believe a game released as a finished product without them trying to squeeze more out of you afterward.

>>23470564
Game launched with 2 quads btw

>>23471253
In comparison, V had 7 quads.
To make it worse, 6 had 3 RJs while V had 11.
But it makes sense. The new team were basically reinventing leg archetypes.
Nuking Verrill's ap, and improving RJ stability almost every patch is probably an indication that their design outline for non-bipeds is off the mark when it comes to the real game.

>>23471263
>Probably an indication
For me it's the fact that hover mode is bound to the same button as boosting and jump altogether. The only thing preventing me from using quads is the fact that hover mode is forced onto them at all.

>>23471253
>>23471263
The legs all having completely different effects on your movement and way better animations makes me a lot more hopeful for an expansion or sequel than a dozen legs that are only different on the stats screen.

>>23471307
You can have both
Also
>makes me a lot more hopeful for an expansion or sequel
Nigga its over.

>>23471311
Tbh, the last true cope we have is tgs.

>>23467694
No, 6 is not a timeline with 4 and 5. I don't care even if someone provides evidence to that they are, 4 and 5 end perfectly on Verdict Day and didn't need expanding on. Let 6 be its own universe, please.

>>23471841

>>23471328
this is just world of tanks camera which is something they should have done instead of 6

Double melee Basho is something else.

>>23471328
We can’t stop until Armored Core controls like Drake and the 99 Dragons.

>>23475989
And how does Drake and the 99 Dragons control like?

assault carrier time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfVtax7evCY
The twist at the end was funny, but it was cool to see it spamming all its weapons. The carriers really do need their launched drones like in the first mission in which one appears.

>>23471328
Not gonna knock a different game doing its own thing but why wouldn't an armored core be able to just move its arms to blast someone to their side rather than turn around fully to face them first?
>>23471311
We didn't get both. We got one and then we got the other, leading to the reasonable conclusion that you can't have everything at once all the time.

I waited ten years for the last one you crybaby bitch, I can wait.

Should quad legs be split into fast but poor energy management and airborne artillery platform?

>>23483620
i'll do one better
stationary flight should be a basic mechanic and not tied to quads
quads should work the same as gen 2/3

I'm getting filtered hard, please send help

>>23483769
Moonlight blade and double bubble guns worked pretty well with me. She deals coral damage so go full agility.

>>23483769
Don't just use horizontal movement, make use of vertical movements. You can avoid some attacks by simply letting yourself fall when in the air (not moving in any direction). You'll fall at full speed and it allows you to avoid a lot of attacks, not just ayre's

Reject the instinct to dash backwards to avoid her melee. It won't work. The sol is also much, much faster than you. Go over or under her swings.
If you can, do try to get hit by her transformed dash attack once because it's awesome, but it's easy to dodge so you might never get to see how awesome it is.

>>23483769

Did ortus of arquebus balteus filter you?

>>23483851
>he doesn't enjoy AC music
I'm surprised they're going for an orchestra of all things

I am just making this post for everyone else that wants to try the mouseinjector. The one made by "garungorp" is outdated and doesnt hook properly. You need to get one of the other forks made by either "vl4sty" or "GoldenLumia". These should work without any problems on all versions of duckstation including the latest stable one. They will also support more games.

That is all.

They had plans for it to be fought, there is an unused earlier version of their model that is clearly set up to be a boss but they scrapped the idea early on

what genre of music does ac6 music fall under? I really like the vocalist.

>>23494579
grunggy garage rock

>>23494583
I wouldn't categorize the music of VI as garage rock, that would be the music of the previous games. I've seen people categorize VI OST as atmospheric or ambient, I don't remember. I love the synths especially in the final missions songs

>>23494588
No, the stages sure atmospheric and ambient but you said "vocalist" so I assume you're referring to ending or Rusty's theme, which is what I said earlier.

>>23494601
I'm not the same anon. I thought maybe the first anon refered to the singing in Cries of Coral and Echoes of Coral. Not a lot a vocals aside those, Steel Haze(Rusted Pride) and Stargazer

>>23494608
Completely forgot about ayre theme

>>23494579

>>23494865
They hold their guns out from the side in cutscenes though. They also just wouldn't have any reason to build them with shoulders that could do that then.

So Armored Core: Formula Front International is a jap only PS2 release but has options to switch to english. That being said the usual places seem to only have the first PS2 jap release. Has anyone actually dug around for the version before? Like I said my usual places don't seem to have it any tips would be appreciated.

>>23497509
>>23497518
Shit I'm retarded. I guess I read the wiki wrong no wonder I couldn't find the dang thing. I'm sure I can easily find it in my usual places if its just PSP, I know they did a version on PS2 for jap/korean but I don't think that version has english enabled options. I just wanted it with my other armored core ps2 games in a nice concise place.

This one was pretty interesting, it's about the size and gravity of Rubicon - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FY300X37PAw

I want to try PVP in the games besides 6, which one is the best/easiest to get into?

>>23503580
Project Phantasma/MoA have pretty good competitive scenes

>Grunggy garage rock
Not AC6, AC4 and FA yes

>>23504155
How can I play them?

>>23504588
you can get pretty close with decals
no mods though, i have to assume modders stay away from the normals because their designs are relatively undetailed compared to everything else

>>23504588
You might be interested in this channel that's modding playable normals into ACFA.

5th gen requires a good cpu
3.5 runs on slowdown netcode
1st gen actually runs on rollback and its pretty good
4th gen might be your best choice to start with due to the population having the most newblood + easy to run.
