Armored Core clones… are on the horizon…

This is a good thing.

>>715589080 (OP)
That looks gud.

>>715591669
Yeah, finally feels like devs are catching on. Not everything has to be a Soulslike or a battle royale. Give me more mechs, more weighty movement, more screeching boosters and overheat systems. AC6 lit the fire, now let it burn.

Call me when a single one of them is good. We still have nothing that has captured the feeling of the Norris battle in 8th MS team.

>>715591669
Has a Robotech vibe. I dig it. Now where are my Zone of the Ender clones.

>>715592420
That's the most poser fight you could bring up. He swings around like spiderman and they all leave their defensive spots to chase him and then he blows up all the targets while they go "HUUUUUH? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?".

Lock-on shooters are gay.

>>715592767
Yeah ok we should have mechs flying and skating around and never ever use their legs.

>>715592945
Finally you're talking sense.

>>715591669
Please tell me this isn't some pvp arena shooter shit and is just a whole ass game like Armored Core, I can only take so much fucking disappointment when a mecha game looks phenomenal at first before getting sucker punched in the mouth like Mecha Break.

You're fag

>>715592821
Fire Control Systems are a real thing, Anon.

I can't believe AC invented mechas

>>715592945
Worked for Code Geass
>>715593612
Did they fix the issue where they show human characters and faces and everyone talks a lot?

>>715589080 (OP)
>>715591669
I've watched the youtube of this guy.
Are you him, OP?

>>715592945
Anons just saying spidergouf is a piss awful example of a realistic mech battle, frankly 08th ms has the least realistic fights of the 3 UC ovas, by a lot. Shiro dodging the zaku gun on foot, the ez 8 ripping off its own arm, spider gouf, etc. Still a fun series, but it bafflingly attracts fans who say it's the most mature and realistic of the lot when it's the complete opposite

>>715592945
The legs are there to absorb impact landing, just like human would. The 2 leg also balanced everything when boost skating. Human proportion is the peak of robotery.
I'm talking out of my ass, but it still seems plausible

>>715595498
AC invented its own subgenre of mechas.
You can easily tell if a game if AC-like.

>>715595948
No. I just wanted to shitpost on /v/.

>>715596012
>ez 8 ripping off its own arm
I still don't get this. He had a beam saber. He has a beam saber in his leg right there and he instead tears his own arm off. Is it supposed to be some "do something totally fucking crazy and unexpected and hope it shocks them"?

It's also weird the goufs heat saber doesn't appear to be turned on. I know the ovas wanted to do some different stuff with the technology but it's clearly not cutting very well. He hits him square in the arm like three times. Altogether, a very good fight if you just don't think much about it. Good animation.

>>715596120
How.

>>715593439
silver line it and call them demonXmachina clones
..oh..

>>715597854
Lets not. That series has a lot to prove with the sequel still.

>>715592945
Skating mechs is older and cooler than you and there's nothing you can do about it.

>>715597771
It's bait AC didn't invent anything

>>715598108
If AC-like isn't real, why can I always tell when something is like AC?

>>715596351
Just look at it and you'll know if something is an AC like. If that fails you, there will be at least 1 person who will mention AC out of nowhere.

What do you want from a mecha game?

>>715599953
Locational damage
Parts swapping
Salvaging from kills
Pretty much just those three

>>715592945
Tribes style mech-game when?

>>715599953
i want to feel the WEIGHT of my mech as it plows through buildings and launches through the sky towards another mech.

>>715599953
I just want a big dumb votoms/heavy gear multiplayer shooter.

What type of AC clone?

>>715604825
ac6

>>715600897
I really wish AC6 had some mechanic for crashing into buildings. The way you just stop in place and keep flaying while boosting is perhaps it's biggest weakness in terms of presentation.

>>715591669
The animations look solid but the damage needs to be raised considerably. Mech games should be high damage games where you can shoot down enemies quickly and be shot down quickly. Every scene in the webm has the guy plinking away at enemies while they just ignore fast.

>>715592246
>skating, dashing and doing aerial acrobatics
>weighty movement

>>715605817
Just feels like everyone's got a different definition of weighty. I've seen niggas mod mechwarrior to half speed and they're sitting there being slowly jostled up and down like they're a big fucking baby and they're still going "hhnngnnnggg needs more weight".

>>715605817
you can have weight and still be nimble anon

>>715589080 (OP)
>Armored Core clones
Dolls Nest made me very happy.

>>715606016
for me it means good screan shake, and leaving proof of mass on the world around you, even if the movement is graceful.
im talking trails of sparks as your machine slides to a half, cement cracking as you land from a backflip, booming jets pushing hard to slide your mech gracefully across the ground.

>>715599953
I want different types of mechs like tanks, chicken legs, spiders, hoverboards, etc. Something more like Chromehounds where you have to build different mechs for different situations, rather than the kind of arena fighter style most mech games get.

>>715599953
target designation boi.
>See that mech, your big tank frends in the back will take care of it.
Starsiege had some cool spotter missions.
Another thing is I love is good factional conflict. Something that was always cool to me about Last Raven was you getting in the crosshairs of Vertex and Alliances bullshit.

>>715609094
Why hasn't anyone made a HG inspired game?

>>715610568
Probably because only real autists like you and me even know it exists. MechWarrior eclipsed it here and is a literal who game in japan. If I had the funding to do it myself I would. If I ever win the lottery I'll get a studio to do it. Even if no Heavy Gear or Votoms IP.

>>715608997
My only critique of full build games is that the meta rarely looks any cool.
It becomes a bit gay when everyone is a missile tower, basically. Sometimes imperfections do have to be forced on us for the sake of an aesthetic war.
>>715610568
Unfortunately even in the indie space it feels like the armored core/mechwarrior split has kind of taken over. You get to pick between plodding turrets and flippy aerial mechs and not a whole lot else, when there's so much other material.

>>715599953
Escaflowne, the game.
That or Monster Hunter but you pilot mechs.

>>715589080 (OP)
>Too much voice acting.
>Shitty art style
>Overly animeesque flashy movement.
They're probably going to show a character's face every 5 seconds.

>>715611591
4 plusses? Where's the minus?

Dolls Nest was pretty fun but it was too easy
