Oh wow, I remember seeing your art a long time ago, I always remember your old characteristic shading style, almost didn't recognize your new stuff. Awesome to see you're still doing it!
-
Not like there's a whole lot more to talk about that's AC related.
Anyway, submitted my designs, 2 for AA, and 2 for LR
-
A bit late maybe, but somebody posted this on the ACG a long time ago. It's an original track he created inspired by AC music. It's pretty damn good.
-
I don't know how many more you need, but I might be able to whip up a couple for AA and AC3-LR each this weekend. Will LR be used to build and judge the AC3-LR category, or will AC3-SL designs be constructed in their respective games?

So despite having been away for a while, for whatever reason lately I've been on a good ol' AC kick, reminiscing about the old games and anxiously awaiting any kind of news for AC6. And after playing a bunch of Dark Souls and Bloodborne, I got tot thinking what influence the success of those games may have on a future AC title. Do you think it'll be something as simple as DS making FROM such a huge name now, so when a trailer or something gets released people will actually pay attention? They'll see the words "FROM SOFTWARE" on screen and be glued to it, take a look at the cool giant robots blowing crap up, and see the title and go "Oh, Armored Core, I've heard of that but never played it. I didn't know it was from the Dark Souls guys.", at the very least bringing in a whole new mass of players. Or do you think they'll implement certain gameplay mechanics? There are already some similarities, like stamina works just like your generator, rings/runes are optional parts, and even the L-ar,/R-arm dynamic feels familiar to the old games. Conceivably they could introduce an invasion system where, similar to joining certain covenants, accepting a contract for a corporation or faction could cause you to invade or "intercept" other players taking missions against that particular client. Or perhaps reworking the boost/jump/quickboost system to reflect the Souls run/dodge setup?
What do you guys think might be in store for the series now that it's no longer FROMS flagship title?
-
Anybody on here pre-order the game to get the beta? I remember fighting a couple of you guys before on SF4, was wondering if maybe I'll see some of you on.

Too bad Sony stopped with the hd compilations
Why is that? From what I understand, many of them sold quite well.

KOF 98 > all
Naw, 2002 UM > 98 because it doesn't have Sports Team, and I can't block that gamera cross up.
crystal chronicles is a weird FF even by FF standards why that gameIt's actually really fun if you get a full team of 4 players. Granted, requiring everybody to have a GBA and link cable, most didn't get to experience the game at its best. I should also probably mention I'm not a big fan of the standard FF formula, so that may have contributed to my enjoyment of crystal chronicles.
-
That sounds like it should work. Thank you both.

Gonna use this thread to ask a question of my own.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to paint an AC model like the Nineball one that have the emblem on the plastic? I mean I want the emblem there, but it's not like they have it as a decal that can be put on afterwards.
-
Street Fighter has moved down a bit on my list of favorite fighters, but Charlie looked like he could be a lot of fun, so I'm not completely unhyped for the game.

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/03/22/the-drop-new-playstation-games-for-324/
This week (Tuesday, probably), the PSN store will be releasing the original Armored Core under its PSone Classics. Great news for guys like me who didn't play the PS1 titles.
It's gonna be good to get back in the saddle.
-
Wonder what this means for the future of AC though. I mean, it seems pretty clear that Kadokawa bought them because of their success with Dark Souls.

If you ask my opinion (which since the topic title is posed as a question, means you have), it's about accessibility, which you did touch on in your post. The older games may have had hours of garage-tinkering to do, but none of it was as needlessly complicated as current-gen AC is. The stats were understandable, even for a new player. They seem to have confused complexity for depth. I'll also agree with you regarding your first point. QB seems to have had a negative impact overall on the gameplay.
On a personal matter, to me a lot of what the series has neglected is local multiplayer. That's how I played with my friends, that's how I got them to like the game, and that's how I got good* at it. AC4 made local multiplayer a hassle by not allowing your friend to assess his ACs unless he traded them to you previously, and unless you both used the same control setup you have to go change THAT now. Not to mention you couldn't make changes to your AC on the fly. Making you exit multiplayer, go into single player, tinker with something, save, exit angle player, enter multiBLEGGHH… And now ACV has done away with it entirely, so I've dropped it. I can't play with friends on the weekends and I don't have the time to dedicate to a clan on weekdays.
Armored Core never had magic in the first place.
Oh please.
*Sort-of

I will have to say, FROM is starting to show its Dark Souls side. I am not used to dying this much in an AC game. And I'm only on mission 7-something. The one with the automatons, and then two cyclopses.
-
Any word on what it changes?
And yeah, NA got the collectors edition, but you had to get it straight from Namcos site, I don't think you could get it through Gamestop.
-
Then I watched my generator gauge just empty, like what happened in AC2 when you used that special combination. It was murder.
Hmm, makes me wonder, if it is like the gen bust after a limiter release, you think the OW penalty might be temporary? May have to test that out tomorrow, though I'm sure someone will beat me to it.
-
Well alright, with no word from Deemer for a while now, here is my video. Hope it doesn't suck!
-
And word of warning. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use Overweapons without finishing off the opponent. If you don't finish off the opponent...well..your entire generator is purged and you die. Quick.
Oh ok, that happened to me, but I thought it was because I built something horribly wrong. But damn, OW are that punishing now? Wow. Guess I may need to rethink my strategies to S-rank some of these missions.
And the Malicious figure that comes with the collectors edition is great.
-
Well, I had wanted to get both of our vids posted at the same time, partly because I wanted both of us to go in blind to what the other had done. Unfortunately I haven't heard from Deemer in a while, and our agreed deadline has long been over, so I'm debating on just posting my video so at least the thread can have some content. What do you think?
-
A month and no word from Deemer. I'm starting to think he took your words to heart Talentless. If this thing ends up being a bust, I'm placing the blame solely on you.
-
Would you HAVE to have a video? I've been thinking of trying my hand at Super Metroid sooner or later but I don't have any way to actually record it. I could take a picture of the time limit screen and that's about it.
-
Yo, I remember quite a lot of Street Fighter fans lived here, so I thought I'd share this. Figured you guys might get a kick out of it.
Street Fighter 6
in Games
Posted
If I recall correctly, the denizens of ACU tended to be quite avid Street Fighter fans. I remember getting in a few rounds with some of you here and there back in SF4. That said, how is everyone enjoying Street Fighter 6? I wasn't a big fan of 5, so I thin this is certainly a step in the right direction, there's so much stuff to do even for single player, I think it's amazing. I admit I'm struggling to find a character though, since none of my older mains have made the cut yet, here's hoping for season 2 at least.
