I became a mechanical engineer mainly because of this game. The level of customization was unmatched back then. People were turned off by its level of difficulty and clunkiness. But for some of us, this game was a unique gem that never followed the trend.

When you've been a fromsoftware fan since age 9 without realizing. I played every armored core except number 1. Literally my childhood. I remember going into EB games looking for more versions of the game. Back then i didnt understand sequels or prequels so i just grabbed an AC game i found and played. I remember my favorite gaming memory came from AC3 when i found a hidden optional part that allowed me to use back weapons that would normally require me the kneel down in a bypedal leg set up without having to do so. It changed the game for me. It made me the kind of arena. Grenade launching while flying around was just too damn good. Tried getting my friends into the series but damn them. They never saw its allure

I almost started crying tears joy when I saw this. I've always loved mechs and the mecha genre ever since I was little, having grown up with Transformers, Gundam, MechWarrior, and lastly, Armored Core. Armored Core.. was so, so special. I discovered it purely on accident on my sisters original Xbox 360, it had a few game demos on it, and one of them was Armored Core 4, my first ever AC experience. It was SO metal and badass, I loved it. Ever since then, I was a hardcore Armored Core fan. Years later I started branching out and playing the other games on my PS2. For years it seemed like we would never get another game, and it hurt to realize that. Armored Core just felt so underground. But all of a sudden I wake up two days ago and I see this fucking trailer on KZbin and I screamed. It feels so surreal, like when you bump into an old friend from your childhood or your favourite teacher from high school at the supermarket and you catch up. What a time to be alive, I never thought I would EVER see this happen again in my lifetime. Thank you, FromSoft.

The controls better be as fucked as possible, I want to be thrown back I to the days when I had to pull 360 degree Ariel maneuvers by clutch inputting almost ever button on my controller at once.

[@thebigenchilada678]

According to the designers you were supposed to hold the controller in an “Armored Core Grip.” Which, without a controller makes it look like your reppin a crip sign.

Get close to an enemy only to use PA or an energy sword. They better have 4A's speed.

[@user-pb3yv5uw5m]

This game is not for the faint of heart. It's difficult to steer, so people who can't get over it criticize it. Only those who can overcome the maneuver know the true value. There is also a way to become an enhanced human.

[@alaric3419]

Looks like the lock on works just like souls game.

[@meeirudayo7270]

you got that right

[@greensmurf221]

Never played this franchise before - I will now.

[@al-919]

that's Japan for you guys, they dedicated and master their crafts for us to enjoy.

[@elleeVee]

this has potential to be the best mecha game of all time fr

[@Azure9577]

Armored core games are already the best mech games

[@richterdelgan123]

They are, the deep customization of on a tabletop level and high demanding skill as a pilot

[@ignignxkt]

I'm so happy. Like...unbelievably happy. It looks beautiful

[@dojoworks7704]

[@xTheNameisEthan]

Amazing how the From Software logo can whip a crowd into a frenzy with no other context

[@Floigenkaspar]

They didn't need a trailer. Just showing the Fromsoftware-Logo would have been enough.

[@ShadowNinjaMaster93]

Dude, I cried. I could not contain myself sitting there watching the game show and seeing a mech on screen when the FROMSOFTWARE logo appeared. I screamed, I hopped up and down and finally I damn near bawled like a child. I haven't been that happy in years.

[@oliround]

The hype. The energy. The community.

[@jesmarkmikesell1957]

After all the souls genre games, Fromsoftware is finally getting to a game *they* really wanna make.

[@Galaron1000]

It got the Best Action Game of 2023 Nomination at the Game Awards!!

[@wither5673]

the trailer OOZES with old school 80's-90's sci-fi anime. imo the golden age of Anime. so oh yeah, im fucking hyped for this.

[@Negius]

crowd: WHOO FROMSOFT but wtf is an armored core

[@worldwearyposer]

Sick they are finally bringing back AC. FROMSOFT finally getting their credit for how awesome they were in the 90s even....wishing for a Frame Gride reboot!

[@kadebass6187]

I guarantee you some of these people were like “dark souls 4????!?!?”

[@skyhunt9595]

I love how first people wonder what is this game. And suddenly fromsoftware pops on, some they notices it, some didnt

[@lildreamcast6679]

Never heard of armored core until now. This looks amazing

[@deltharramorghal8130]

You will remember the name for sure.

[@OneBiasedOpinion]

I am so happy to see big mecha coming back to the fore. I never got the chance to play AC myself, but having seen footage of the game I wish I had. The fact that it’s From making it means there’s a very good chance many new players will pick it up just because of the studio’s good name over the years in the Souls series, Bloodborne, and Elden Ring.

[@j.a7299]

You forgot Sekiro

[@CptJistuce]

I'm actually a bit apprehensive of all the people coming in because "I've never heard of Armored Core, but I know what kind of game Fromsoft makes" I think there's going to be a lot of backlash when they fire it up on launch day and it ISN'T a souls-em-ub.

[@aerialgod01]

*This game will make or break the Armored Core franchise ladies and gentlemen. Let us hope they can advertise right and sell it out to the majority of people to keep it alive so we dedicated lovers of it can have something to go back too.*

[@lesslighter]

2 AC games... 1 now with a certified solid fandom and 1 that needs to find its footing But both announcements ressurected the fanbase So tell them this

[@thegoodwin]

"Hey buddy."
