Newbie (2/11)

  1. New Armored Core confirmed, straight from the horse's mouth at a TGS interview. Can't link right now, but look it up I guess.
  2. Not sure if you are all aware, but Verdict Day is now up to date on the patches.
  3. They never posted the source but I know the first parts are form the Armored Core V Official Setting Guide -The Fact, it was released only in Japan and hasn't been translated. Well until now I guess. I guess the later stuff about VD is also true too.
  4. So I'm not sure if you are all aware of this but the Armored Core Facebook page has been posting some factual info of ACV-VD's story. I'll just post them here: 1- Generations ago, there was a place known as "The City" in the North Frontier. Don Tyrell, the sole dictator of The City referred to himself as "Father" and enforced a strict apartheid. This was likely the only way to survive in the extreme contamination surrounding them, but it was also a heartless move that came at an enormous cost. The oppressed people went underground, and under the direction of the Representative's former right hand man Jack Batty, formed a resistance to rebel against Tyrell's tyranny. The resistance, having gathered enough strength, finally set forth to up-heave the tyranny of Father. That which would later be known as the "First Rebellion", ended in an utter defeat for the resistance. The City had already caught word of their plans, and in addition to the City Police, hired a private military contractor known as "The Corporation". They waited, and they prepared. Jack Batty, who took to the front lines in his own Armored Core, was taken down by one of the commanders of The Corporation, known simply as "Chief". The battle left the resistance completely destroyed. However, Jack's loss was not for nothing. His daughter, Francis Batty Curtis, was able to survive the battle. This kept the resistance together, barely. One year later, Francis continued her father's legacy and became the new leader of the resistance. With her aide Leon, cooperative migrants, and Rosary, she prepared for the final battle. And so the "Second Rebellion" began. The resistance, facing an insurmountable military force, decided to use guerrilla tactics and attack Father directly. It was a two step plan that used Armored Cores as a diversion, and foot soldiers attacked Father's base directly. The resistance hired a man known as "The Mercenary", and with his help, they swiftly came to the brink of victory. However, as soon as they had captured Father, they were hit by a massive indiscriminate attack by the Corporation. Francis and her team decided to escape from the chaos of the crumbling city. The Corporation gave chase. At the end of the fierce battle that took place, the Mercenary destroyed the Corporation Chief's mech and escaped to the contaminated outlands with Francis and Rosary. Now the remains of "The City" are known as Alloy Gate City. It still barely retains its shape, and the tower, that was once the base for the Father, shows the scars of the fierce battle it saw. 2- Two years have passed since the second rebellion. Frances and Rosary once again return to the outskirts of the City and begin skirmishes with the remnants of the City Police and other migrants for supplies. Many ACs seeking to make a name for themselves wished to defeat the legendary Mercenary that survived the second rebellion. This made the confusion amongst factions even more severe. In the middle of all the different factions fighting, Frances and her team are attacked by a migrant organization know as the "Men of Honor". A leader of the MoH, Regan Stratford, took charge of the attack. She was the older sister of Rosary, aka Cordelia Stratford. Regan planned the assassination of Cordelia and also planned to defeat the Mercenary and bring him into the MoH ranks, guaranteeing her position in the MoH. Regan tried to send attack squads in numerous times, but the Mercenary's skills overpowered them every time. One day the group was attacked by a mysterious AC with insanely high skills in battle. The AC had an emblem with a skeleton and constellation motif to it, and was a member of the "Zodiac", a group that had been attacking everything in their path indiscriminately. The Mercenary was barely able to take it down, but because of this, he was now a target for the Zodiac. Meanwhile, Regan was still waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Cordelia. However, there was no longer anyone on her side. Finally she sent in her personal bodyguard Oswald to fight the Mercenary. Oswald followed orders, knowing very well that he was no match, and fell in battle. When Regan tried to escape, a Zodiac AC destroyed her getaway helicopter. With this, the battle between the Zodiac's faction and the Mercenary's faction began. Not being able to avoid the assault from the Zodiac, a great battle raged on. In the end, when the Mercenary destroyed the last Zodiac, the command helicopter self destructed, and the Zodiac was no more... 3- Around the world, there are areas where the atmosphere contains high levels of dangerous materials. These areas are called the "Contaminated Areas" and primarily have the following attributes: *It is difficult or impossible for living things to inhabit the Contaminated Areas. *Areas with lower Contamination concentration can be entered with the proper equipment. *Strange colored clouds cover the sky, and highly contaminated areas have poor visibility. The merchants that were once called "Migrants" would sell the supplies they found within the contaminated areas to make a living. However, even they were not able to enter the deepest parts of the contaminated areas. Past civilizations, history, and technologies laid lost and buried under the contaminated skies. The only known exception was the City's dictator, Don Tyrell. He led an expedition into the deepest parts of the contaminated area, and this allowed him to take over the City. No one knows what he saw there. There are many theories as to why the contamination came to be, but everyone agrees that it is most likely not just one reason. One of the many reasons that is hard to deny is a large world scale war that took place a long time ago. The weapons of this war used an energy that utilized harmful substances that remained long after the war had ended. After many years, the amount of uninhabitable land has decreased, and with it the lives of the people has changed greatly. Small disputes over land were no longer an issue, but at the same time various factions with differing views rose up and began fighting. Thus humanity entered into a new era of fighting. 4- Generations ago, most of the world was covered in Contamination, and humanity held on to what little inhabitable land they had left. Eventually, the Contamination began to shrink, and people began to inhabit more land. While fighting over territory and supplies also began to take place, communities that spanned long distances began to appear, and humanity started on the road to recovery. As the Contaminated areas shrank, and the recovery of humanity continued, people began making organizations. Smaller groups joined and parted until eventually, large organizations formed. Eventually, large organizations formed in each region. Those are Sirius Corporations (North Frontiers), Venide (Mid-continent), and EGF (Far East). However, the various lands where these organizations formed were separated from each other by the Contaminated areas. These organizations did not know of each other. In later years, when the Contamination reached even further, humans were able to inhabit what was once the deep Contamination zone. Large buildings known as the "Towers" were discovered and the three large organizations found them at about the same time. By investigating the towers, new technologies were gained and humanity began to regain its civility. As time passed, the Contamination between the Mid-continent and the North Frontiers disappeared, and Sirius and Venide cam into contact with each other. These two equally armed factions began a fierce feud. After many battles, it seemed that Sirius was almost defeated, but suddenly EGF joined in the battle and things changed. The EGF faced against Venide, and Sirius took advantage of the situation. Using this to their advantage they were able to restore their previous power. With this, the three organizations began a war that continues on to this day. Not sure if they'll do more.
  5. Damnit, I knew there was something off about that.
  6. While I haven't been hired by the Reaper Squad personally, my curiosity was piqued when I was looking through the player medals and some of them read as: Deathbringer: Win 3 sorties as part of the reaper squad. Chaosbringer: Win 5 sorties as part of the reaper squad. Survivor: Win 3 sorties against the reaper squad. Irregular: Win 5 sorties against the reaper squad. I've read stuff on other forums that you can be randomly hired by the Reaper Squad as a merc, and then are sent into a sortie screen where you can hire other mercs and then go on a PvP match. If you win the base loses a large chunk of AP. Here is where I read about it: http://www.gamefaqs....ct-day/67396546
  7. I'd say it's worth getting. Only get it new if you can spare the $50, otherwise get it used. I wouldn't say it's dead. You won't always find people on Free Battles and it's very possible to just get matched up in a "Cause Severe Damage" mission, but from what I've played so far I haven't experienced many problems. I'd say the main thing is that since the game requires you to join or create a team to do most things (Shop, Sorties) most people make their own teams which leads to there being a lot of teams with only one person enlisted, which is why I think ACU should have its own team, this game needs stronger teams, not more. Gameplay wise its got a better framerate than ACV, the mission are good, the story is more coherent and some missions are challenging. there is also Hardcore Mode after you beat the story to replay the story with one of I think 10 different modes. I chose "Mr.Confident" which means everything is normal except you take 70% damage from enemies and you only have 1 life. Get killed and you start all over.
  8. You know I always wonder what the Foundation Man meant by, "I will never forgive the filthy world that destroyed my life, and everything in it."
  9. Thats an interesting idea. I was thinking, what if The Corporation from V was the League of Ruling Companies that merged into one corporation and went off into space, leaving the rest of humanity on the surface to deal with Kojima contamination. Maybe thats why The Corporation had such advanced technology, and then The Foundation was what is left of them. The Towers were probably built by The Corporation and if they were The League then they could have had information on White Glint, Joshua O'brien and other NEXTs and LYNXs stored there for some reason And also J, the Reaper Squad Leader, could be the inital for Joshua O'brien somehow. In JP they have the same voice actor, and he pilots N-WGIX/v which i'm guessing means something like NEXT-White Glint 9. The information of Joshua could also have been somehow implanted into J giving him the skill to pilot a NEXT. Maggy's body isn't found inside her AC's wreckage but seeing as how supposedly her injuries made it impossible to pilot an AC, she and the rest of Reaper Squad are probably all H+/Zodiac pilots. Or From is a bunch of sadistic bastards and are trying to see how long we go aorund in circles trying to figure out something that doesn't exist.
  10. From actually stated in one of The Depth livestreams ( forgot which) that this takes place 100 years after V, SO yeah.
  11. So I just beat Verdict Day's story and I thought I should make a topic to discuss it in. I think it would be interesting to see what people thought, so talk about what you liked and didn't like, what worked and what didn't, and of course, the connection to AC4/fa.
  12. Yeah, but you see AC games (except ninebreaker) always have CG cutscenes. It makes starting up the game enjoyable, and serves as a way for From to show what the combat should look like. Plus, they're really kick-ass and awesome.
  13. Sadly it seems Verdict Day doesn't even have an actual proper AC intro. Thats wack yo.
  14. I think there is supposed to be 60 missions. with 10 story missions, but this time there are 9 order missions that continue around the story missions, so like order mission 1-3, 1-2, 2-5, 6-6.
  15. Well it has been almost two months since anyone posted on this, and I was the last one that did post. But eh whatever. All 56 maps trailer: Livestream 5: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/37095045 Mostly just a concert from FreQuency and some other stuff.
