A useful advise to all AC newcomers: Legs are one of the most important parts of your mech, because they determine how much weight your vehicle can carry. Your power engine / energy source is on other one as it modifies the amount of energy available, as well as how slow or fast your energy bar will recharge, when its depleted.

[@SB-dw3ly]

I think, I have heard that from someone video

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Iron Pineapple's preview is very useful for people interested in the franchise that have not played an AC game before.@@SB-dw3ly

[@raptros]

Those laser blades are common in Mecha series. They have a practical use in that instead of using a physical blade to cut through metal which would dull the blade really fast, laser blades essentially work like torches they weaken and melt the metal. One concept that i've seen that made a lot of sense within the concept of laser blades are Zoids blades. Zoids like the Blade Liger have physical blades but when the pilot deploys the blades they are covered in a plasma coat, essentially the plasma hits first heating up and melting metal all the blade has to do is go in and finish the job it's like cutting through butter, it's also pretty safe for the blade. Add a Zoid's natural incredible regen capabilities and you have a blade that will never dull.

[@Vobefrod]

Pseudo-science. If tech-based games obeyed the Real and known science and applied tech of the day, we would know maybe 10-20 years in the future. This game is interstellar travel future, which NONE of us know about. Keep dreaming

[@NguyenHuuTrung_]

dont heat takes time to have an effect ? How hot is plasma ?

[@daysand123]

​@NguyenHuuTrung_ take it like this. Covenant weapons in Halo are primarily plasma based and their most basic warships simple bombardment are able to melt through an orbital station shielding a frigate like the pillar of autumn comprised of a titanium alloy almost instantly. Their plasma weaponry and their shielded ships are the basic premise of why humanity is on the back foot of the original Halo trilogy. They have hundreds of high endurance high damage dealing ships of various size against unshielded metal that they can melt through like nothing. The reason they even have ground forces is often to secure any holy relic site, Intel, or artifacts before they decisively glass the planet. Plasma is described as being literal thousands of degrees celsius so imagine being shot with a lightsaber and it just melts through you unless you have some sort of energy shield to tank a few shots.

[@chrisencarnacion1692]

That fact that you bring up Zoids is a like from me

What I took from the trailer was that Handler Walter (our boss) doesn't shy away from sending his people, or hounds as they call them, to their death if it means completing the mission. Pretty cold, eh?

AC6 is not connected to the other entries, so don't worry. Basically, rival corporations are fighting to recolonized Rubicon 3 50 years after a major calamity involving the new resurgent substance called Coral, but are also opposed by the now natives repelling them as the Liberation Front Force. You are an AC pilot who, from how things look, is essentially owned by handler Walter and sent to the planet to perform missions for a variety of clients at your discretion with the possiblity of buying your life back while going down one of many paths that ultimately effects the ending. Vaati Vidya got to play the game and recorded the demo at a press event, and has a detailed breakdown of his time on his channel.

[@ivorynargie]

Pretty much on point, only thing to add is that consequential playthroughts unlock new endings and missions, making it much more replayable

[@DefinitelyNotDefinitiveGames]

😎👍🙂 Thanks!

[@Netsaver]

So the armored core games despite being numbered very rarely take place in the same overall universe. While they may have similar settings very few are actually connected to each other. For example Amored Core 4 and 4 Answer are directly linked but armored core 5 is not linked to 4. If you wanna know more about Armored core in terms of general lore, I'd recommend the Armored Core Lore channel which explains the different settings and stories of each armored core games.

[@Razgriz_01]

Think ACV is Connected to AC4/FA. The 360 era AC game's at least, especially with Verdict Day. The Motherwill returning, the final boss being just a black version of the White Glint and how it emits Kojima Particles.

[@Mikropp159]

i think one of the reasons it's hard to figure the story out is because the story is more or less just that you're a mercenary thats taking on jobs for other people (corporations) and while these jobs are most likely linked in some way or another it's not like you're the typical adventurer/hero going on an epic quest to accomplish some big goal, you're just doing what you're told to do... i could be wrong, there could be alot more to it but that's the vibe im getting which honestly is great imo cus im here for the badass combat :D haha

[@apexzora4423]

There's way more than that to it I assure you. The thing is that the story isn't told with cutscenes but kinda like souls games with descriptions, briefings and also playing the other game modes other than the campaign. Historically ac games let you know more of the other pilots you encounter with the arena mode

[@Mikropp159]

Yeah the badass combat seems to be the main focus which is fine by us and they did an amazing job with it by the looks of this trailer 🤩

Armored Core was always the better FromSoft series for me because I never really liked the eldritch disfigurement aesthetic of the souls games (and Elden Ring). And Armored Core VI looks really sick. I'm so excited for this game. Also, Pokemon games reactions when?

[@Alice_Haukea]

Regarding story, Armored Core VI is it's own story. This is the 6th main title in the franchise, but this is actually the 16th game in the franchise. Let me explain. Released in 1997 is the original Armored Core. Following it, Armored Core Project Phantasma and then Armored Core Master of Arena. These 3 games are one continuing story. Armored Core 2 released in 2000 and was followed up by Armored Core 2: Another Age. These 2 games were their own story block. Armored Core 3 released in 2002 and its sequels were Armored Core Silent Line, Armored Core Nexus, Armored Core Nine Breaker, Armored Core Formula Front and Armored Core Last Raven. Armored Core 4 released in 2006 and its sequel was Armored Core 4 Answer. (4 Answer is generally considered the best game in the franchise) Armored Core 5 released in 2012 and its sequel was Armored Core Verdict Day. And now we have Armored Core 6. In between each main numbered title was a contained story block. There are elements that carry over, but largely self contained. So with AC VI, you now know as much as the rest of us.

[@Xfighter000]

We have to wait until the game comes out to tell; remember, armored core 5/Verdict day was revealed to be a sequel of of the events of 4/4Answer with the final boss fight of Verdict day. There is also theories about several of the gen 1-3 games being the events that come after Verdict day.

[@ivorynargie]

@@Xfighter000 they already confirmed that it is not connected to the other games, so. + 4 - veridict day are confirmibly connected due to just the final boss and some other things, but all of the third gen is confirmed to be standalone from the ps3/360 era and from 1-2 era, basically we having 4 current continuities of armored core, gen 1-2, gen3, gen 4-5. Unless theres some other timeline from the portable armored cores, but currently thats the confirmed timeline, the other possible connections are just fun theories

Craziest AC mission i recall has to be the last one in Armored Core For Answer which is basically one big you asked to be treated exactly as you deserve for doing the absolute evil bad guy mission where the four most notorious AC NEXT pilots jump you all at once because you basically did the most heinous sholit imaginable and killed literally milllions of people on space colony platforms for about a billion credits. Like from what i recall i think even merc pilots from rival companies literally team up to beat you into nonexistence because you existing is infinitely more vile than their beef at that point. You get an ally for the mission but thats not saying much. He does not last long if at all and even if you spec your NEXT into a super mecha through a lot of grinding you wont last long either without proper timing. You would probably sooner beat the Sans bossfight in Undertale than that mission and thats saying something.

[@dra6o0n]

In the AC universe, corporations runs the planets, AC pilots are just mercenaries, some with certain loyalties more so to some factions than others. AC6 essentially has your protagonist be the pilot of your machine, taking order from a NPC handler, to accomplish mission for your faction, though you question your boss's orders or intent perhaps at some point?

[@iamhuffman]

ARMORED CORE has always been in a future where corperations control everything there really is no governement.......... AC pilots are hired by corps to take on missions often to sabotage rival corps to deter or take control of them or their territories while alot of the games there is one AC pilot that you run into now and then that eventually ends up you fighting them in some cool end mission. but the stories really just revolve around what contracts and corps you work for or against with some main missions that sorta push the narative forward. The AC piltos use to be called ravens but it seems that moniker faded away as the trailer they talk about it briefly using a fake name or something on borrowed wings(raven reference im sure)

I had never heard of the Armored Core series before I saw the trailers of this one. But it definitely looks awesome, ever since Titanfall 2 I have been a huge fan of robot mech battle games. I can't wait to try it when it comes.

[@medhurst4]

it's a very niche genre not a lot of people are into giant fighting robots also the older games were complicated (seriously look up the old armored core controllers those things were beats).

[@Jaimethepanda]

Who doesn’t dig giant robots?

[@TheTrveMothlord]

Firstly there are 15 Armored Core games. The numbering is for generational differentiation. Also, just unplugged from the matrix... or into?... Some speculation for this game is that at least for a certain class of AC pilot, they're essentially transferred insight of their ACs for maximum piloting interface. Either like a 40K dreadnought or perhaps... when a pilots body is about to die, they do some kind of consciousness implantation. Usually in past AC games some pilots have cybernetic enhancement done willingly (and in some games its unwillingly) to be better pilots. Lastly, gen 1 and 2 are connected over five games, 3/3.5 is one gen connected through six games, and 4 and 5 are very loosely connected with two games each. Even then, most games have their own story even if they share a "universe" with some reference to past events.

[@chiptoothgaming]

I wouldn't necessarily call 621 the hero. We are usually puppets of corporate warfare. Though there are usually multiple ending achieved by completing missions and earning a S ranking. This unlocks more missions, thus unlocking different endings. Most commonly though you'll be picking the lesser of two evils. The cut scene I think was more to set the mood, than to give you an actual idea what is going on in the game. There are few things hidden in it for long time fans of the game, but nothing you need to know up front to enjoy this game. The stories of the numbered titles rarely connect. If there are call back though I believe they will be to the earlier games, like 1-3. 4 and 5 were too much of a departure from the original gameplay and world designs. Not saying they weren't good, just different.

In Armored Core pilots are are sort of "manufactured," the augmentations allow them to pilot the Armored Cores. This, at the cost of emotions and etc, but are no longer considered human really. These pilots are usually called, "Human Plus," and its never voluntary. Hence the verbage about Inventory and stock as well as referring to us as "it". The scientist speaking to, Handler Walter, is discussing the results of the most recent mission for 617, 619, and 620. All but 617 and you (621) are dead in this trailer and according to the scientist we are also "functional" but unable to do much else. Through context we can assume we are going to be or are one of, "Walters Hounds," or just, "The Hounds," while in other games it was, "Raven" and "Lynx." Narratively, it adds an idea that as "Hounds" we are not free like "Ravens" and "Lynx's" are. But then, at the end of the trailer we see the Coral Injector leave our body, Coral is this highly coveted substance found on the planet Rubicon that allows us to pilot the Armored Cores. So finally the trailer wraps up with Walter essentially purchasing us as one of his Hounds. Enjoy!

Guys, I know this is not a music channel, but a rather unusual game in the music genre has recently been released. You seem to like Diablo, can you somehow react to the Metal Hellsinger game? It's new. I don't know, maybe you will react to a few tracks or purely to plot clips. As you wish. But it would be nice to see your reaction to this game. If you like the story about the little mermaid Ariel in demonic form.😅

You don't need to know anything from previous games. Some questions you had were answered in this video, and you just talked over it, but if you actually want to know more, watch Vatti or Iron Pineapple's videos on it. You can fully customize your mech, including changing the colors of every part, so if you would like to build a badass mech like you're playing with Legos, this is the game for you.

[@theworstcatholic7247]

You guys should see the take Vaatividya has on this, some YTers like him have their own unique footage of the gameplay sections here along with of course commentary on explaining it. As he like those others actually played through these sections early and were able to use different parts of missions shown here. Along with explaining simple story beats and gameplay decently. There are no good guys in AC just evil competing against itself, and in AC6 here we are an entirely new planet with an entirely separate and individual story line so no need to know about the others all that much. I could say more but what fun would the reactions be if you knew everything ahead of time!

[@ronodenthal100]

The story in 6 is brand new, and is not connected to previous Armored Cores. This is a brief summary of the game time lines, but there's SO MANY that together it's not brief at all. But, here it is, hopefully to help you understand. AC4 is chronologically the first one, taking place not too long after the National Dismantlement War, a conflict which saw the Corporations rise to power. Israeli Merkava tanks still see action, it's so near to the present. You begin during the Pax Economica, a period of peace between the Corporations who now own what countries used to own. There are no more nations. Only the ruling Companies. The Kojima Particle, which is the power source behind most of the new tech, is environmentally dangerous, and disrupts standard electronics and the like it seems. You are not allowed to have your Kojima Shields (Primal Armor, as they're called) active in cities. But eventually rampant over use of the technology by all sides sees the majority of the planet become a barren waste land. AC4 sees the Lynx War take place, when Global Armaments America begins to hire a slightly older but unknown mercenary from the old wars, when Mercenaries were known as Ravens, to begin doing some missions for them. This provides the merc's homeland, Anatolia, with needed funding as they have no ruling corporation to back them. You as the player end up causing a massive destabilization of the world's power structure, collapsing some companies entirely and throwing the world into disarray. In the end, your actions back fire and Anatolia is attacked. One company forcing an old ally of yours to go on a suicide mission in a super AC which will kill him, but he has to do it or else they'll wipe out the colony he's from. Anatolia is never a major player in the world theatre ever again. The next game, For Answer, sees the Corporations having joined an alliance, and they've invented enormous weapons like the Strider to decentralize power from individuals so no one Armored Core will ever cause so much chaos again. In the long run, the planet is environmentally doomed due to the Kojima Particle pollution and humanity lives primarily in flying cities.. but the pollution will eventually reach them and kill off the last remnants of our species unless something is done. You pick one of three paths to determine the fate of humanity, one of which resulting in the deaths of billions and an end to the use of almost all technology. I am of the opinion that is the true ending.

[@ronodenthal100]

AC5 and Verdict Day show us the world after this. The Kojima technology is no longer used but the pollution was so bad that it would burn away even metal with its radiation for hundreds of years. Humans survived in sparse lesser-polluted pockets of ruined cities and desert wastelands for centuries before it cleared up enough to begin interacting and spreading again. Mysterious forces which are left over from the previous era, using lost technology, begin to erect Corporations and push a return to the ways of old. You find yourself in Verdict Day ultimately as a mercenary choosing one of three corporations to fight for territory with, and to fight against the mysterious forces which are playing war seemingly for the sole purpose of using warfare to advance their own information, technology, and power. Though you never succeed in your goals fully, you do manage to make a name for yourself. Verdict Day DLC hints that this is a prequel to AC1, and its final boss is a cry out to make sure that you understand 5th gen is in the same timeline as AC4.

[@ronodenthal100]

AC1 sees us as a starting young mercenary in an underground city. Built as a safe haven to protect humans due to a war with no name. It is called only "The Great Destruction." And for the past few generations, humans have thrived in a tiny copy of the old world, complete with mini-corporations engaging in proxy wars with each other in the city. Only the oldest pilots remember what the Great Destruction was like. You eventually find out an AI is running the city, recreating the old world and grooming humanity to get them back to a point where they can survive on their own. Only by surpassing the corporations and the AI can the city open back up and let humans outside to the real world again. The sequel Project Phantasma sees the world above ground and the continued story line on the Human Plus technology storyline which is touched on in AC1, which binds humans to machines giving them super human powers but robbing them of their humanity. 5th & 4th gen seems to hint that this technology originates from the Omer corporation, who is also responsible for trying to make your friend kill you in 4. Hundreds of years later their legacy continues on in the form of this technology. Terrorists want to use it to make the ultimate weapon, turning a man into a living, thinking WMD basically. And you are hired by a mysterious woman to stop them. Master of Arena sees a repeat of AC1's story with new plot twists and turns, taking place apparently in another underground city, with Armored Core 2 being a direct sequel to it. In MoA your motivation is that your family is killed by the top AC pilot as collateral damage during one of his missions. You become a Raven specifically to gain access to the Arena, so you have a chance to track him down, face him, and kill him. You eventually find a deeper plot than the first game, with a ruling AI also controlling the city. But unlike in the first game, you rise to power much too quickly, and the AI scrambles every ounce of power it has to try and slow down your progression, ultimately failing. Your city is freed before it is ready and the corporations are never brought to ruin. We see in AC2 that the corporations also never fully return to power though, 90 years later, and are competing with a government the people erected, but they battle fiercely for a new territory, Mars. A specialist group of AC pilots brought in to keep the corporations in line end up becoming a terrorist faction, hijacking and making use of mysterious and advanced technology left behind by the extinct martian alien race (Who may or may not be humans from the previous era who once visited mars and left behind their advanced technology). It turns out their leader is Leos Klein, your character from Master of Arena, who regrets removing the AI that controlled humanity, seeing that humans have allowed the corporations to become more vile and violent than ever. He plans to wipe out the major powers and though it is never explained, he somehow wishes to reinstate the ways of old, from before he freed his city from its AI yoke. Armored Core 2 Another Age has no story, taking place from the view point of a Raven on Earth taking jobs just to get by. It culminates in a mysterious lost reservoir of ancient technology being discovered, where you must fight one by one some of the bosses of older games, the AI controlling the place automatically sending them to fight you. Presumably you retire after this. In both AC2 and AC2AA it's implied the role of mercenaries is coming to an end as the Earth Government gains control and life stabilizes.

[@ronodenthal100]

AC3 sees a new timeline start, presumably, unless a second "Great Destruction" happened, and it retells the tale of AC1 in a much more complex manner, with its sequel, Silent Line, detailing the discovery of another Underground City and efforts to get past its protective AI and its legions of robots and an orbital strike laser (creating a line they can't get past or they're shot down, thus the "Silent Line") in order to gain access to the city and free it. Directly after Silent Line we see Nexus, where the corporations from both the old and new underground city fight for control of the surface, resulting in the accidental activation of a wartime AI that brought about the end of their Great Destruction. A sort of Skynet figure who mass produces automated attack drones based on what it learns from its enemy. Its most common drone is a smart missile. It promptly launches SO MANY of these missiles that they fall across the entire planet like drops of rain in a storm, collapsing society AGAIN. Culminating in this generation's Corporations forming their own alliance, and the surviving mercenaries becoming either independent warlords or joining their own alliance. It's up to you in Armored Core Last Raven to sway the tide of events over a tense 24 hour period, determining once again the fate of all humanity in one of something like 6 different endings you can achieve. The only thing for certain is that when the fires die down from this final conflict there will only be one Last Raven surviving. You better make sure that it's you.

[@ronodenthal100]

Armored Core 6 takes place off Earth, on the planet Rubicon 3 during an age of interstellar travel. An event called the Fires of Ibis saw a firestorm rage across entire solar systems, burning many planets of all life. Fueled by a mysterious new power source known as coral. Coral has both the properties of energy and of biological particles, and can be used for multiple purposes ranging from drugs, fuel, and even weapons. Its incredible power when there is enough of it sparked the Fires of Ibis *somehow*. On the ruined world of Rubicon 3, Handler Walter brings a severed injured mercenary in deep debt to him to aid him in mysterious and cryptic goals. Augmented beyond humanity, you have been subjected to the Human Plus technology, and much of who you were is gone. You must do your best to survive, perform missions for Walter, learn about each of the other Armored Core pilots and factions and figure out who it is that you want to support and who it is that must die, unfortunately. Your choice will permanently affect the fate of this world where ash falls like snow and blood runs easy. The Liberation Front, the Corporations, the Planetary Closure Administration, and unseen factions of power with hands yet left unplayed all seek to exert their will over the world for their own purposes. On discovering what is actually going on, all of them will be looking to you, the greatest pilot the world has ever seen, to watch and wait for what decision you make in the end.

bruh yall missed the ending montage

[@JasonTodd357]

They’re back with the good stuff

[@mathewhaight]

The armored core games have gone through two reboots and this game will mark a third. You don't need to worry about the story. It is original to this entry and not attached to anything from before.

[@ivan134]

You missed some gameplay at the end. They showed more bosses

[@mimi-rf4yn]

This is going to be the best game am going to play

[@vZephyrus]

Love the reaction. Also you gotta react to the 2 new apex legends kill code videos, they're pretty cool

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

AC vets are about to wreck some Souls/Elden Ring fans...

[@brunoelias128]

Hello, how are you? I am writing to you from LatinoAmerica, I really like your video reactions of league of legends, I would like to recommend you a skins trailer called "where lies the power", keep it up I love your videos. Regards

[@javierflores1182]

What’s the new Mortal Kombat one trailer it out it’s super crazy

[@javierflores1182]

I mean watch

[@nemesisundead83]

AC6 Shouldn't have anything to do with OG AC 1-5 cause they said it's something new on a new world (and from what I heard we can't even space travel at home yet) so the war on this planet is most likely over the Coral just that's just my speculation

[@ivorynargie]

AC6 is standalone from the other, thegames starting from 1 until the last one before 3 are another, from 3 to last raven are another timeline and from 4 to veridict day are another

[@AlexanderAshcroft]

621 is the hero huh?

[@johanstenfelt1206]

[@SantosOnFire]

Is the MOONLIGHT coming back for 6?

[@yushion5804]

Coming back? It is always in.

[@SantosOnFire]

@@yushion5804 it has. And I wanna know if it's gonna be back for 6

[@ayeaung3527]

You guys need to react to vaati armored core videos.

[@fun_police8011]

Really the only story you need to know is you get paid to blow stuff up, but you're kinda being forced and you feel awful while doing it. It's like being paid to blow up someone's house while they're still in it and you have a gun to your head.

[@AlexanderAshcroft]

This game has nothing to do with the previous games. as it takes place on a completely different planet, and all the previous games take place on earth and earth adjacent. The war for 6 is because of the Unique Resource of the planet, called Corael ? or something. it doesnt matter.

[@DobutsuNoMori]

will you be reacting to more fortnite?

[@karontheone1067]

Um actually my dad owns Armored Core VI so none of you get to play it
