Armored Core V EXTENDED 1 ~The LIVE for REBOOT~


Recommended Posts

FROM SOFTWARE and Famitsu are teaming up to host another live ACV demo and stream it to the world on May 19th, 2011. This'll be the second time gameplay of ACV will likely be shown to the public. This time they've stated that they'll mostly be answering questions posed to them by the AC community, so there's a chance we may not get to see any more gameplay. Don't stop believin'! Keep your heart in your eyes and your eyes on your heart and believe with all your soul and we might just get to see more gameplay!

 

It will be broadcast via FROM SOFTWARE's uStream page. The stream is also embedded on the Famitsu site, so it can be watched from there as well. The uStream broadcast of the second ACV demo event will go live at 7:00 AM Central Time (-06:00 GMT) on May 19th, 2011. The event has should be about two hours long.

 

You can watch it on either the Famitsu site or the direct feed from the uStream site!

[Niji] 6:47 pm: So the live video demo

[Niji] 6:47 pm: Was neat.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: They showed off decal and emblem system.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: Decal system is the same as 4/fA

[Niji] 6:47 pm: But they said said the layer count changed.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: And then they showed off the booster movements and drain.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: I was right.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: Generators recharge REALLY fkn slow.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: It's like a Kujaku bot.

[Niji] 6:47 pm: But with only 1000 Surplus EN

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Imagine SL recharge rates.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Divided by 4 or 5

[Niji] 6:48 pm: That's how slow you charge.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: QB drains a heavy bipedal in about 3 shots.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: So you can QB about 3-4x rapidly and you bust.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Genbust is back.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: But it's not the same.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Now you genbust LR style, but

[Niji] 6:48 pm: It's only for 5-10% of your bar.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Once you get that back it's back to working.

[Niji] 6:48 pm: Like PA.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: You have to wait for the red section to come back.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: Regular boost drains 0 energy.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: Both in flight and on ground.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: But you can't jump without energy.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: So if you bust you're limited to regular ground boost or floating down slowly.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: Uhhh

[Niji] 6:49 pm: RJs have GODLY jump

[Niji] 6:49 pm: What else was ther.

[Niji] 6:49 pm: e

[Niji] 6:50 pm: OB drains a good bit, but not too much.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: Oh yah.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: They talked about save data.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: It saves data like Diablo 2 does.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: Or like any MMO really.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: Your data is saved to the online server.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: So you can't tamper with it.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: No cheating/hacking for vanity parts.

[Niji] 6:51 pm: Can't share saves, etc.

[Niji] 6:52 pm: Werd.

[Niji] 6:52 pm: Also I heard something about a spectator mode.

[Niji] 6:52 pm: But I may have been wrong on that.

I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I assume that the new save method is mostly because multiplayer is going to be a large element of the game, right? I wasn't sure how I felt about that at first, but then I realized it might be because of the major focus on multiplayer now. What I was worried about was, let's say, 5 or 10 years down the line when most people will have forgotten about the game. Would I still be able to access my save data?

 

The new generator mechanics should definitely serve to slow the game down a bit as well as put more focus on tactical-style of play. I do like the sound of that...hopefully it will serve the gameplay well.

 

*edit*

 

Just watched it. Hell yes that RJ was badass :o

Update. I missread something important during the stream. I thought they said in the stream that they are keeping the same emblem and decal system and that they were just lowering emblem layer count to 12.

 

I was wrong.

 

They're keeping the same emblem/decal system, but they increased the emblem layer count to 128, not lowered to 12. I didn't see the 8 at the end. I thought it was a kanji that looked like a B. So, 128 layer emblems are go.

 

 

Summary

Emblem Layer Count: 16 -> 128

Just imagine how many crudely crafted images of genitalia and inter-species sex acts you'll be able to fit on just one mech. The possibilities are virtually endless.

 

This was something brought up in the stream. Someone asked about them possible strange emblem art using the new layer system and they all started giggling like schoolgirls. Nabeshima is such a troll, werd. You'll hear the word hentai like 20000x and they all start giggling around that part.

Yeah, I showed a friend of mine the first Live Demo, and the part where they all went wild and started laughing after the camera simply zoomed in on the AC viewer. He said pretty much all they were doing during that segment was making penis jokes.
