Yeah it seems that AC's are pretty old tech. Their armor is made of any metal they can find and reassemble. I noticed this in the E3 trailers beginning when their rising a core with only one arm attached to it. This shows that once an AC is destroyed they recover whatever is left of it. Like when their digging up what was left of an AC in the desert. Or the pilot ejects before the AC blows up like in multiplayer and the wreckage is recovered and the pilot's AC is rebuilt.
I thought it would be kind of cool if ACV was a prequel to AC1 and was about the Great Destruction that ravaged the Earth's surface and forced people to live underground. Because thats what ACV is starting to look like to me. I also hate the over-the-shoulder cam.
Almost forgot about this one. Shows more gameplay, painting and the decal system, customizable garage: you pick it then add whats in it, and some TypeD-No.5 gameplay for good measure at 3:20.
