Armored Core 6: 10 Things YOU NEED TO KNOW 

👍🏼

thats called optimization there is meta weapons and loadouts for a reason. Some weapons will be better than others no matter the situation. So there arent best loadouts but there are best weapons and abilities that wont ever be changed out 9 times out of 10

Thanks for the info man

Thank you....me being a perfectionist, couple that with the infinite possibilities on load outs im afraid I will find myself stun locked into indecision and unable to leave the mechs garage. I will keep your advice in mind and keep telling myself there's no best mech

In prior games, sniper rifles were OP because the targeting was very accurate and you can shoot the enemy before they can shoot you.

I mean it could be argued that that’s because it’s not next gen, as it’s being released on last gen consoles

Isn't it lime 67 dollars on steam?

gamers still think 50 hours of entertainment is worth a dollar. $100 and it's still cheap compared to other paid entertainments.

@@jacobe2995 nope, its $60 for standard edition. There is a $70 deluxe edition, but its a choice to buy that.

@@christopherlyndsay8611 yea but so many games this year charged much more like lord of the rings golum, redfall and they were shit looking and bad gameplay.

Yeah one of FromSoftware's other mech games. It was definitely fun. Hopefully they will make a sequel if AC6 does well :)

I miss Chromehounds 😭 we need another large-scale multiplayer mech game

​@bombomos i never got to play chronehounds and was pretty sure it wasnt from soft. Im surprised it actually was because they made so many AC games Im confused as to why they would only make one that has nothing to do with AC.

I got the achievement on Xbox 360 for being the number one ranked player in the game in chrome hounds.

CHROMEHOUNDS! fuuuuuck I miss that game, probably had 500-600 hours in it back in high school, the Nuromeous war metagame is still one of the coolest features in any multiplayer game I've ever seen. Game was so ahead of it's time and deserves a sequel

I love how they want to make games they love and are proud of but also respect the people who will play them.

I could not agree more . FromSoftwere is my favorite Developer right now. They just keep releasing top tier games. I will continue to suppoort them as long as I can.

@@BlakeTheSnake98 me too 👍

FromSoftware isn't like those morons at CDPR

Yeah yeah people praised CDPR as well Its a company we dont have to protect shit

Wow, thanks!

Falcon punch and Jake are the heroes of GR ^_^

Imagination is a powerful (and beautiful) tool 🎋

@@ChristmasLore that it is. that it is.

Same. My dad got me into Gundam and Zoids and I’ve been into Mech games ever since

I’ll never know why Gundam: Operation Troy was never released in the US. Encounters in Space was my favorite and the one w/ the Dingo Squad. My dream would be an 08th MS Team game.

Me to this my gateway to gundam anime

I loved Metal Gears in Metal Gear Solid games. I always wanted to pilot and customize one. Thank you Fromsoftware for making that dream a reality on Aug. 25th!!!!!

This is the way! I remember playing old armored core games back in the day. I'd try to paint and customize my mechs with inspirations from Gundams. You can spend forever customizing lol

Building a granddaddy Gundam first day

I’m gonna 100% go with pink snow camo if that’s an option lol. Nothing like playing a deadly merc dressed in pink.

And model kits for AC6 are coming too

the last AC game sold like 160,000 copies....dark souls sold 30 million. it was overshadowed.

​@@rugie6247be be fair, ac 5 was not that great compared to many others

@@rugie6247how many copies did AC4 get?

@@rugie6247 *_>Imagine basing how great a game is by its amount of money sold from it_* LMAO That could never be me By that logic, any AAA games or Mobile games with Microtransactions, Battlepasses, and Lootboxes are the BEST games ever made on the planet because they earn 19723587135984652 seggtillion dollars per year than your average game

is this gane hard to get into?

Dude there were games on the 360. Which is not that long ago.

I'm grateful that most of the new players will at least have experience with a Souls game. Armored Core is known for demoralizing the uninitiated. The only reason I got good enough to enjoy the series is because I adore mechs.

@@smugnick5458 ten years is a ridiculously long time

They get to know how much of a snoozefest it

@@_CrimsonBlade lol I dunno but whatever you're playing must be a snoozefest seeing as how you couldn't even complete your sentence.

Preparation is Victory.

Hot dogs are sandwiches.

Every sentence is a statement.

@@Mustachioed_Molluskevery statement is a sentence

-Isshin Tha Glock Saint

yooo 50 missions is really cool to hear! i saw some people got to play it early and the only had 11 missions to play i think so i thought that'd be all there was. this will be my first AC game and one of my fears was that it would be too short or not have enough variety of missions.

How would you armored core-ify souls games?

​@@Mustachioed_Molluskcrippling monetary debt

What people dont remember is how much Armored Core was in Demon Souls/Dark Souls originally.

@@Mustachioed_Mollusk very fast pace movement with good range combat mixed with melee combat. For a start.

I want more Sekiro like features in souls games, was so disappointed that i couldn't deflect in ER :I

People who are fans of Souls duels but want them mech based will LOVE online duels and trios I bet. I also like the idea of spectators. Great for spreading the fun and ideas everyone will have.

Know anything about cross platform support though?

@@polarbear6463 nothing was stated but I highly doubt it since multi-player isn't really a focus in the first place

@polarbear6463 According to the game page on Microsoft store it does not have cross gen multi-player, so I'm guessing it won't be cross platform at all.

Oh yeah, more content than the others is good, but as a new comer who's looked into the history of the Armored Core games, I'm excited to see how well they take all the good stuff from the previous games, leave all (or at the very least MOST) of the bad stuff of the previous games, and create the perfect Armored Core game formula that Newcomers and Veterans alike will love. 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!

Over 50 missions rumored with different factions/outcomes.

It wasn't until ps3 came out that i managed to find a copy of the original ps1 version on a carboot sale, i also used to play the monthly demo disc with AC1 and still have that disc somewhere lol

Basically the bosses will be the only souls part in the DNA.... hopefully some of them are no longer as BS-ey as ultimate Zinaida Which even then I would argue isnt soulsey since methodical bosses exist in 5th gen AC....

I really hope we get another Sekiro. My fav From game as well.

Hi

Defintely gonna be the case if one wants to take on the option side content that can be found like hidden bosses.

From soft talked in interviews about hiding more secret unique gameplay mechanics for later on in the game like they did with os tuning a few hours into the game so I’m really hyped to see what they do with this

@@godly_potatoe69xd19 AC6 becomes a dance game confirmed.

The aim assist was there in 4 and 5 as well, less so in 5. 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.

@@Valkrss Kind of like how Elden Ring is a best of the Souls series when it comes to mechanics it looks like ACVI is a best of the Armored Core series.

As a "young" school Mech Warrior fan I am a little shocked that the video compares AC 6 from 2023 with some ancient Mechwarrior title from the nineties instead of Mechwarrior V 😀 Furthermore, I realize that Gundam style combat is really nothing for me - scating and physics-defying movement instead of huge stompy mechs? Not my thing. A pity since AC6 really looks cool and the customizations would be exactly my thing.

There’s definitely big differences between the two but yeah

bro I understand trusting From Software but why Bethesda? Did you forget every released version of their game? Buggy as hell, unplayable, and sometimes it's just bad

Oof this dude preordered Starfield. You know you coulda just shelled $15 for a month of gamepass cause its gonna blooow. Im waiting for Stalkers 2 to hit gamepass then ill play both for 15 bones just to say I gave it a whirl. But lets be honest, Starfield is gonna trash lol theres no hope

I like their games what can I say, also I play on pc so Starfield will be getting heavily modded, while you play the so-called baseless game on your game pass :/

@@user-lr2ii4cr3l them why don't you buy when it's 10-20% off with mods

Nah, they came in saying "Lets put all the experience we have found over the years and throw it at a board and see what sticks, and have as much fun as possible doing it". This game already looks to be the love letter they wanted to make for not their fans or the past AC games, but to themselves and all the hard work they have put in to make video games as a whole. Fromsoft has never catered to anyone but themselves imo. They make games they want to play and do not care what anyone else has to say.

​@@Darkaoron Don't put words in my mouth that I didn't say. I didn't say "lets make a game AC fans will love". I simply said "make a good AC game".

Moonlight blade? theres a moonlight sword too in these games ? 😂 fromsoft loves moonlight and im all for it

Yes PVP was confirmed

1v1 and 3v3 with spectators, apparently.

Apparently, new game + change missions and add new ones instead of just power up enemies and it unlocks new endings

Congrats, you own both consoles. Enjoy

Was thinking the same thing! :)

Outside of the obvious differences in combat, this is a great comparison I never thought of

@@davidwilmot9895 haha yeah, Armored Core definitely has a vertical aspect that Ace Combat couldn't do

Both ac's 6 have fire of something Both are fantasy of piloting stuff

Glad you enjoyed it!

Patriot systems??

@@bombomos When at standoff distance you can have big or swarming missiles heading for you these are dealt with by a missile defense system consisting of radars, command-and-control technology and multiple types of interceptors, all working together to detect, identify and defeat tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, drones, advanced aircraft and other threats.

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.

👍🏼

All melee would be incredibly high risk but big reward since the beam sabers are damn near one shot kills. The trade off is your movement has to be immaculate to minimize damage from getting shot at.

There's one theme that sounds like Interstellar crossed with Bladerunner and I am all for it. :D
