Not a prototype - N-WGIX is translated to NEXT/New White Glint 9, which may imply that it is a nine generation of what once was Line Ark's White Glint. Think of it as bastardized WG as the primal armor goes haywire in second phase. It is made with one purpose only now - to obliterate any opposition. Which makes this fight even more epic as you use post-tech AC to defeat ancient technology that created this mess you're in. As the Foundation states: "This machine has brought destruction upon the world IN THE PAST. The Dark Raven is nothing but an absurd myth" - He is literally referring to the older games. YOU as a Player, You are the Dark Raven. So basically a Raven whose exploits survived through scriptures, ancient data of some kind.

I think it was RED = you have no item to complete this build YELLOW = you have an item that may be of similar spec White = item in your posession though i haven't played it in a long time I may be wrong. This mech blueprint was recorded just as it was sent to me.

try to keep enough distance to outstrafe them, they're fairly inaccurate and slow.

Dark Souls is very hard too. Every game in the series can be cheesed so I hope that they won't go with easy mode for journalists.

@@wcisnijstart Dark Souls is hard but is very accessible and easy to learn for benningers. I mean easy to learn, hard to master. AC became hard to learn and even harder to master. That's the point. I think the best level of accessibility is somerhing around AC Last Raven (the hardest in the PS2 age, but still easier to learn the mechanics and the gameplay). I want more people playing the franchise.

It's called assault armor, it's an energy shield that can be used as a melee ram ability.

Please check pinned comment. Most Wondrous Battle Music Ever: End Times

Me too

Both of you, welcome to the nest

check out pinned comment!

I feel you bro I tried too and after the first mission the game crashed

its new white glint 9 also it's not upgraded, it's literally the thousand year old wreckage of white glint piloted by a brainwashed clone of joshua o'brien foundation man fished it out of the trash and managed to repair it just barely enough for it to be usable

I am a thinker... I am a shooter...

@@projecta.p.2285 I could break it down

2023 and it's still good! Rpcx3 can run this with good stability. I just replaying the game again until the end and I can say controling the AC with keyboard is better than using joystic with reverse grip style 😂

Black Glint! :o I wonder what AC6 will bring

@@Kirby-Krios Gray Ghoul. Primary color is gray with a sickly green for the lights. Secret encounter.

@@MichaelBailee ...you might jest but part of me wonders if that new Planet AC6 plays on is the one ORCA found if their ending is canon in For Answer. If that's the case having Old Upcycled Next suddenly try to jump us might be perfectly possible.

@@Shear666 Finding out's going to be all part of the fun, not that I'd complain if it was a different setting. Rather than story reasons, I believe there will be NEXT-like content just to give people those visual and MAYBE even gameplay options. A chest piece very similar to Oracle's from Armored Core Nexus has been seen, but I can't tell if it has the Exceed Orbit parts even visually, much less the function as well. But with more budget, technology and ways of doing DLC these days, I'm sure they're weighing many fun options.

Because it is a White Glint, unearthed and modified. N-WGIX - stands for Next - White Glint... I dunno about IX, may be just a number.

Wciśnij Start oh they alook like brothers and wish I had lineark white glint model kit to see it look

IX is 9. Who is the other AC character that uses 9 a lot? Nine-Ball. Who designed Nine-ball? The same guy who designed White Glint. Next-White Glint XI (9) In For Answer, there was a roster for the best AC pilots, who was number 9 but considered to rival number one? White-Glint. It goes on.

No, it's just that they can't develop games for PC, look at DS: Prepare to Die... I think they learned how with Sekiro, so maybe.

What do You mean?

@@wcisnijstart I mean the games look fun to play but the greyed out foggy looking visuals ruin it for me. It looks like my phones screen is dying as I'm watching this gameplay footage...

@@TheTokuin Count in the terrible grabber I've used and compression.

@@wcisnijstart no I'm not talking about the video quality, I'm talking about the aesthetic theme.

@@TheTokuin it is foggy, gritty, dark looking... and that's why we love the game. For colorful games I can recommend Gundam ones ;)

Outside of boosting being more complicated ACVs controls weren't bad.

Battle for BRS

Word.

Ac5 designs is a inbetween in mech-warrior bulky with AC, but mostly of this niche fandom hates 5 gen design for not be "Gundamish"

So this got pinned huh? Well, thanks, op. Also, just want to add some update: So I decided to try AC4 and AC:FA a while back ago (took me long enough), and now I can see why people kinda disappointed with ACV's design. Not gonna lie, I love AC:FA's design, I think it had the best design overall. I won't defend my point on this anymore since I don't have any strong argument. I still like ACV's AC tho, as they're basically normals on AC4. Since AC4 and ACV is in the same universe and the fact that we beat J who's piloting a NEXT with a normals is just neat

Lol what? As a vet AC fan, i hated the design on the V series because they looked like chibi gundam wanna be without the gundam part that the 4 series had. In terms of gameplay, the kick and the building climb added more to the game and i welcome it. It made more importance to the vertically of the environment and it wasnt just used as a wall to hide anymore. Also close combat has been a challenge that you want to do since in previous games, its hard to do. The dual mode, scan mode and combat mode was iffy. I think i hated it because of the color change and the constant reminder of warnings. So overall, the story was below meh but not completely shit. Design is what really killed me. It tried to be anime in which never blended well with AC. I mean a bird? And white glint having tentacles looking like tubes? Thats soo dumb. I mean project phantasma was odd looking but it was still mechanical rather than monsterous. You can be anime, the 4th series did that but to change it so much that you make monsters instead of something that of a machine is just a design flaw. It encompasses the chibi gundam look by a mile in terms of bad design. Thats the equivalent of a ww2 FPS games then all of a sudden having scifi guns that is made of out cthulu tentacles. AC has an identity of having designs consistent to its functionality. If its bulky, its tanky, its slow, its heavy, its high armoured. If its skinny and long, its low armoured, fast, etc. This game has the design not matching up with those. Also, fucking wings. Like, i know they were experimental weapons and this is after the events of the 4 series but damn. 4th is said to be the pinnacle of tech. Which is why its anime AF but you only dealt with ultra large machines. Not some animal mech with flapping wings. At least make the wings not behave like its made out of fleshy, flexible, contracting body part. Which is like that tentacle tubing that this White Glint has.

@@wanderingbufoon As a fan that's been around since the very beginning, I see several things wrong with your comment: - N/WGIX's "tube tentacles" are more akin to energy transfer cables that were hastily ripped from wherever they came from. They only move in the wind, not as prehensile limbs. And they don't look even remotely fleshy. - Calling monstrous-looking Mecha a "design flaw"? I believe the entirety of the Neon Genesis Evangelion fanbase would like to have a word with you. - "WW2 FPS then suddenly having sci-fi guns made from Cthulhu tentacles" is somehow a bad thing? Not that they had tentacles, but it shows that you have never played Resistance: Fall of Man, a WW2 shooter that depicted an alternate reality where all sides had to team up to fight off a beastly alien invasion. Sounds stupid, but it's actually a pretty good game if you can open your mind, something you appear to have trouble doing.

Just play AC4 and FA. Most of the Normals there are actually ACs.

Closest we can get besides Verdict Day would be Last Raven, actually, with how Pulverizers act like Proto-NEXTs.
