One thing I love about Armored Core there many in-depth mechanics gameplay can either be fast-paced MGs go brrr or chunky tank destroy everything, and that's what I love the most, and subtle storytelling with atmosphere and the outlandish customisation and consequences with the customization. To me, this game is a love letter to us and mech fans while be little bit more accessible to people, not say I don't have my concerns but at the end of day I enjoy any Armored Core game, I wish to see y'all on the battlefield Ravens.

The core concepts, themes, money management, and mech building of 1, the improved graphics of 2, the power of speed and flight based mobility of 3 and 4, the crazy AC and Mech battles from 2 and 3, The MASSIVE Armed Fortress styled Boss Battles from 4, and whatever little good they could salvage from the ill-fated 5. All coming together to make the most EPIC, if not PEAK Armored Core experience for everyone. I'm also happy seeing so many new people take an interest into Armored Core for the first time (I've always been fascinated with Amored Core, just could never play any of the games until now with this being my first AC ever), and I love how so many Armored Core Veterans are coming out to welcome the newcomers into the series, share their experiences with the not super popular, practically cult classic series, show them the ropes, warn them of the challenge ahead while encouraging them to try and push through, and finally wish us a good time to enjoy the game they love so much. It's so warm and wholesome for a game that's so cold, harsh, even brutal, and I love it all. As a first timer, I can't wait to build my mechs, get used to controlling them, getting my ass kicked by the difficulty of this game, and feel the badassery when I start to learn to build and play well to overcome everything!

One grossly overlooked aspect of Armored Core is their soundtrack. It always fit the theme of the stages, and was especially perfect for the potential hours in the Garage customizing the ACs

Fires of Rubicon appears to be an amalgamation of the best parts of 4th and 5th generation Armored Core with a few new ideas thrown in. From 4th gen I see we have the return of Overed Boost, called Assault Boost, along with Primal Armor and Assault Armor. However in terms of average AC speed, ACVI seems to be on the side of 5th generation and has the scan functionality which allows you to spot enemies from behind cover. The new ideas in ACVI are OS tuning and Aim Assist along with certain QoL features that allow FromSoft to design longer missions. As in previous entries the real test of your skill in AC is not beating the missions but getting 100% S-Rank on all missions and it seems like reloading checkpoints and using repair kits automatically disqualify you from getting an S-Rank.

According to the devs game speed is between 3 and 5, with "burst up to 4" the footage I've seen definitely leans more towards very much between 3 and 5. But a lot of people think 5 is slow because they've never seen high level play. So we'll have to wait and see how that turns out. As far as inspiration, seems to me like they're taking a bit from everything,especially the whole recoil stuff where reverse joints and bipeds have to stop momentarily to fire charge shots and similar things, where quads and tanks won't.

I'm only familiar with From Software due to Chrome Hounds. A really fun game that became dominated by "frog builds" and only a few of the largest most powerful clans were able to get any of the more prestigious achievements and then of course they shut down the servers which locked off the ability to ever get those achievements again. Loved Chrome Hounds. Warts and all.

These were hands down my fav series of games. I played them all starting at 3. From Software was always strapped for cash and never hit major success when they were making all the AC games. This will be the first one with tons of funding behind it and I have a feeling its a project the devs themselves have always wanted to go balls out on. The hype is real even though I have been so disappointment by hype before.

Great video. My fear was that earlier games have always been kind of simplistic, no real exploration, nothing to look forward to besides a different map with different enemies. They seem to have really padded this out, and for the first time I really excited for this game.

I'm really happy to see that they are sticking with the Armored Core and NOT making it a Souls-like! So awesome that they are bringing the arena back, that was a great way to get parts if you were struggling with a main quest and power up. My biggest hope is that the campaign is long like the first AC. I think it took me over 60 hours to beat AC 1, and like 40 for AC 2, but by 3 you beat the game in like 12 hours. It was very sad, and that was one of the things I was really hoping to hear about in this video.

Before You Buy before its release?!

I wanna make a cute mech

I cant wait!! Armored Core has been a all time favorite series of mine, been counting down the days for this release. Played everyone of the mainline titles, and loved em, quirks and all.

I'm very late posting this. But I want to help anyone thinking about getting into this. For those who don't know. Most Armored Core games, including 6, are about mega-corporations, so powerful, they have become like governments, and they are always at war, fighting with, spying on, and sabotaging each other, over control of territory, or some resource. An Armored Core, is a giant robot you pilot from the inside, a Mech. It gets it's name from the main piece, the chest piece known as the Core, that everything else attaches to, and where you sit. What makes an AC different from other prebuilt mass production mechs (Muscle Tracers), is that an Armored Core is almost completely customizable, with swappable parts, and you can build for certain situations, or build for a moving & fighting style that makes you happy. You play as an independent mercenary with their own AC. You do missions even messed up ones, to earn money to survive this crazy world, pay off your debts, and more importantly, buy more expensive parts to experiment with, or just have if you need them. As you start out as an independent mercenary, with your own cheap, basic AC, nearly no one really cares about you...but as you improve in skill, and perfecting your build, for you. These same corporations, that belittled you, start respecting you, then even begging you to side with them, then you become so god-like in ability, they try taking you out, because they see you as a threat. And you just keep surviving all of these traps, suicide-missions, ambushes, and assassination attempts, until you become a force of nature, a wildcard, an Irregular, that can save the world, or destroy it. That's Armored Core. Oh, I forgot to mention. You can build a lightweight and agile AC, that's like a racing machine, fragile, but able to outmaneuver nearly anything, or, you can have a big, bulky AC able to hold big, heavy, powerful weapons, heavily armored(literally), and slowly moving through the world, devastating those in it's path, like it's Jason Voorhees, or Michael Myers. Or, build anything in-between with different amount of weight, mobility, energy usage, and firepower. Also think about if you're comfortable fighting up close, meaning easy to hit things, harder to dodge, or sniping, or any range in between. And every weapon and targeting system(Fire Control System), has a range they work best at. The amount of options & stats can be overwhelming, but it can be very fun to build the best giant robot right for you, or the situation, mixing & matching parts to maximize the stats & abilities you care about, or build something balanced, and it can be very fun mastering that machine, to survive whatever challenge comes your way, with little to no costs to you...unless your build uses a lot of expensive ammo to cause devastation, then that's fair. And the Armored Core series has always been difficult, because you have master complicated controls/movements, fight dangerous enemies be them bosses or large groups, and in the middle of all this, you have to keep track of things in your mech, like energy left to do an action, energy recharge rate, ammo of all your weapons, timing the fire rate/reloading of your weapons, and your enemy's weapons, and setting up your movements & distance so your attacks are more effective, or just to make your opponents miss hitting you much, or at all. I hope this helps newcomers, and I hope FromSoftware brings back all the old games, with modern controls, on modern systems & PC, so more people can experience them. I would love to play all the games before Nexus, on a PC, and be able to buy Human+ in game, for a high price, instead of purposely building debt just to become a cyborg experiment. And other things to spend in game money on, like a base, or treasure. Be great if they also showed or added to the lore of other pilots, before, during, and after the Nexus generation of games.

I’m so hype for this game. I’m making a mech suit to play😂

I'm excited to get into this one I've bene playing the series since back in the day where they wanted you hold the controller backwards lol

I have never played any of them, but it looks like I might want to play this one. Thanks, Jake

Long time fan, so happy the series is coming back!

I’m so excited for this. Time to recreate my fast light armor melee AC when I was young.

Really really excited for this

I've never heard of the Armored Core series before, but I'm definitely excited for this one!

On the “this isn’t futuristic elden ring” People have expressed concern that armored core might take up too many soulsborne mechanics. But I wonder about the opposite: future soulsborne games taking up mechanics from the new armored core entry. I know I’ve heard people bring up how some of the ER bosses demand movement more akin to bloodborne but the player is primarily stuck with DS style movement (unless you spam bloodhound step). So I feel like it’d be a more interesting question to wonder if future soulsborne-style games will have faster movement like bloodborne or even sekiro (I doubt it’d get significantly faster than either) regardless whether or not they share the ip/name.

Love the shoutout to MechWarrior 2! I've never played the Armored Core series before, but I grew up on MechWarrior (especially Mech 2).

I am super impatient for this release. I've been playing these games since the very first AC. I'm looking forward to my insane mobility build that i had in the early games. Armor practically nothing mobility maxed out with long-range FCS and twin swords, sniper rifle, and anti-missile bay. Playing in a manner that requires absolute boosting and dodging while diving in and out of combat is truly a thing of beauty.

Was thinking the same thing! :)

A friend told me about this game and its been on my radar ever since. Looks fenomenal and i cant wait to try it out! :)

This reminds me of Arnored Core 4, which is my favorite of the series. I'm super excited to give this a whirl 😁

Yes! Master of Arena was so awesome, good to see the arena is back

Wow I can't believe ive been overlooking this game this entire time. This sounds like a great time, and im definitely gonna have to give this a shot 🔥✊

I remember the OG Armored Core. The tutorial was here's 2 mechs defeat them, no explanation of the controls or what things on the screen were for. No difficulty setting, once you start a mission there is no saving, healing, you either beat the mission, aborted, or just died. You die so many times and you get a upgrade to help you out. These upgrades affected the story progression I think. I loved it. They should remaster the old ones for PC, I would buy all of them and play them in order.

I am truly excited for this game. Like many others, this will be my first Armored Core I can't wait to hear the good reviews so I can pick it up myself

The nostalgia came back as soon as you started showing the ac customization!

Thanks Falcon ! I want nothing more but new fans on AC , I want my favorite games to be appreciated just as much as I appreciate them . If you’re a newcomer , don’t feel threatened by all the HUD elements during gameplay, sure you gotta watch them , but not really , focus more on your movement and dogging , a big Tip for newcomers; NEVER STOP MOVING . I’m so excited for this game ❤

Jake was the host in this video but thank you for the advice. I absolutely love Mecha in all sorts of media so hopefully I'm able to afford the game at release.

I can’t wait to check it out!

Customisation in AC is significantly higher than in mechwarrior. You don't pick a chassis and have to choose certain weapons for that chassis. It comes down to power and weight, not weapon types.

I'm so excited for this! The mech genre needs this!

I have never been into mech games tbh. I was always more into high-fantasy RPGs. Fromsoft really captured me with the souls series and I gotta say... if anyone was to interest me in mech games, itd be them. This looks fantastic

Never played an Armored Core game before (I was a bit young/not smart enough for it back in the day) but I’m really looking forward to checking this 1 out!!

My mouth is watering with the mech possibilities.

This game reminds me of a DS game i used to adore and play constantly: Custom Robo Arena. Obviously Custom Robo is a bit of a smaller scale but customizing the robots with different equipment each fight to see what cool combos could be made as well as the general battles were the heart of it. And it seems like this game has that same formula. Im excited to jump into an Armored Core for the first time soon ❤

That transition @4:32 to number 7 was… *chef’s kiss*

This game was so popular at one time that Tips & Tricks magazine had a section for Armored Core builds. People could send in their different mech builds, and they would show them off in the magazine. This was pre-internet, obviously.

I’ve never played an armored core game before but I’m so ready to try this.

This...all this customization capability, amazing weapons, hours and hours of content, all in the base-game with NO microtransactions. THIS is how developers create an experience that truly shows appreciation for their fans. TAKE NOTES EA, BLIZZARD, BIOWARE... From Software is the new king of games.

truth has been spoken, in recent years i find myself enjoying indie titles way more than bigger games, Fromsoft is the only company with bigger games that i like

Never even heard of Armored Core before this one but it's right up my alley

Man I've been waiting forever for this!!!!❤❤❤
