Really Appreciating all the LOVE on this Reaction! Thank you to all my OG Armored Core fans, and everyone else who enjoys my content. If you’re new here feel free to subscribe for more content like this, and a bunch of other cool stuff. Really appreciate having y’all in my life all these years. ❤

[@Alloy101010]

I am old enough to know this series!

[@holitinne]

“That’s *MY* generation! No one else would want this but *ME!”* I felt that man. These kids are in for a treat.

[@runJDrun]

This is for us 🥲

[@johnconnor7501]

I loved armored core. AC4 was my favorite

[@holitinne]

@@runJDrun I loved your reaction man… you went from “Oh great another videogame…(yamn) end of the world huh?” To “NO! This doesn’t make any sense! You’re giving me something I want!”

[@holitinne]

@@johnconnor7501 gameplaywise yeah that’s my fave. But overall I’d say 2 was my favorite.

[@nerdseyeview5017]

Showed this to my little bro he said it looked boring!!! Smh.

[@e.x.watson9997]

Dude was like "this better be good Geoff, you're too excited", then 1:46 his soul almost leaves his body XD

[@runJDrun]

Literally

[@e.x.watson9997]

@@runJDrun I've seen some people downplaying the introduction, but I think it was perfect. It's a franchise that's been gone for about a decade, from one of the biggest studios around, and they probably approached Keighley to reveal at his show and he was more than grateful.

[@Senguinar]

I love that Geoff was super excited announcing it because he’s also a huge Armored Core fan himself.

[@crispychicken143]

now this, this is a reaction. ive literally scrapped through every reaction on youtube. this one warmed my heart the most

[@psterud]

Same. Lots of good reactions. This one is special.

[@ajttchng7101]

Same here

[@idontmindpineappleonapizza9591]

[@runJDrun]

Thank you so much for the kind words, been playing armored core since the 90’s I’m a little rusty at it now, but all of those memories are still there and are still cherished.

[@gallowsraven70]

I'm 52, my step son is in his 20's and we watched the awards together over Discord and we reacted pretty much the same way as you did with this trailer. So hyped for this IP to return!

[@bombomos]

Wowoowo an Old Raven, can't wait to see you in the battlefield, sir!

W Dad

[@aswangmonkey361]

You seem like a really cool dad

[@malafazzle7966]

You can watch in real time as the light from the FROMSOFT logo travels through his eyes, into his brain and activates the neurons that are all screaming ARMORED CORE

[@bryboy234]

The amount of shock and hype when everyone sees FromSoftware is a true testament to how legendary this company truly is

[@AL-go2mv]

“Thats my generation” Damn I felt that. Like a lot of kids these days don’t know the classics we experienced growing up on NES and then PS1 all the way up to now. AC 3 on PS2 was a highlight of my childhood.

[@real_psychosis]

We’re about the same age so I guess this really was a generational thing. Miss this series so damn much. Tell everyone about it and they look at me silly because they’ve never heard of it.

[@runJDrun]

Welcome back

If this can happen I want Zone of the Ender's 3

[@draysmusicalshtposts6340]

Im a newer fan by this series standards! I picked up a copy of for answer when I was 8, was really into iron man and big robots at the time. Game kicked my ass and got me HOOKED on the ethos FromSoft takes with designing games. Now I'm almost through with college after 5 years and the series returns. I'm so hyped.

[@vandal3136]

Fellow Ravens, time to dust off your licenses

[@bombomos]

Time to commence hostilities once again

[@CryptTheNecromancer]

Or in this case, wipe off the dust AND cob webs

Ive had my License since 1997, the dust on my License has more pixels then the actual license lol.

Been keeping my cockpit clean everyday

[@reforged1649]

On standby and ready for Sortie.

[@dippinheadspeen]

Never played Armored Core but after THAT reveal trailer I booted up retroarch and started playing the original Armored Core 1. I have never played a mech game as fun as this, so hot damn I am just getting more excited.

[@KoeSeer]

Armored Core and MechWarrior 4 was my jam back in the day. The feeling of creating the perfect mech down to the booster and the amount of MG rounds for an hour for a mission that just only lasted for 10 minutes. And when your setup pays off perfectly for that mission is just... **chef's kiss**

[@TJMean]

"Some of y'all don't even know what you're looking at right now!" LOVE IT. My man, I played AC1 on the PSX in 1997. It's been my favorite gaming franchise of all time. I'm right there with you on day one for this bad boy! Cheers!

[@jarodliu13]

lmao yo i never seen such a blindsided reaction of genuiness lmao this reaction makes me happy i missed the stream cuz i didnt see his reaction n wasnt at all expecting it or what this game is

[@volrath77]

Repeating "I'm gonna be patient" like a mantra but then freaking out even before the title came out. Ahahahahaha!😂

[@JonasParker82213]

That's super epic there bringing back Armored Core. Loved you're reaction

[@dragonknightleader]

The “That’s MY generation! No one else would want this but ME!” hit me hard, for you said it right, that is our generation, and I am glad to see something from so long ago make a return. Cannot wait. As a side not, the age drop also hit me hard to, as I'm near the same age, and this makes me feel so old.

[@ethanspaziani1070]

You're not the only one who wanted a armored core game believe me there is a lot of us felo ravens

[@runJDrun]

So nice to meet you all

[@leoshinaranami3765]

Now that is a proper reaction from a true Raven there. So glad to see our beloved series finally get more love and that all the Ravens and even the later Lynx are super hype to see this!

[@carlzerris6566]

6 will be my entry into the series. Very much looking forward to it

[@Jerorawr_XD]

Welcome, new Raven.

[@cryptonyzer8699]

Same here. I saw the gameplay trailer, and it is fire 🔥

[@Thaelkor]

You said "that's my generation" and that is so true. My little cousins and their friends are gonna love this. They're big Souls fans and they didn't even know the series existed.

[@Verbal_Ninjutsu2]

Lol, the random age drop at the end got me ☠️ 35 here. All these years later, nothing out there really like armored core... Everyone: "Fromsoft why did you do this, it doesn't make sense?" Fromsoftware: "For the fans 😎"

Fromsoftware literally said here’s an early Christmas gift

[@monocyte2210]

35 here also fellow raven

[@evil_cupcake2386]

I always love to watch a reactions of long time fans. That inhale on realisation that this is new Armored Core is always priceless :D

[@MortarMike]

"BOY I'M 34 YEARS OLD THAT'S CRAZY!" As a 36 Year Old remembering Armored Core 4 Answer and Verdict Day, I felt that haha

[@AL-go2mv]

I remember AC3 from back in the day and all the sick mechs I made. One of my favorite games ever. So stoked for this after all the good that from software has made recently!

[@ArmoredGriffon]

I must have watched reactions to this trailer for 2 weeks straight after it dropped and somehow never came across this one, and I wish it hadn't take so long cause it's one of the best. That split second going from seeing the FROM logo and being like "Oh nice a new FROM game, that's always good." to suddenly realizing what that actually meant was everything. Being a hardcore fan of the series since AC2, I can't get enough of how far FROM has come since the old days making niche robot games to being like, THE premier development studio. I can't wait to see how they'll apply everything they've learned since then into making what I sincerely hope to be the best AC game yet.

[@MukiMuki688]

Armored Core vet here. If you aren't sure about spending 60 bucks on Armored Core 6, buy a older entry for like 10 or 15 bucks at 2nd hand shop to see if it's for you. Armored Core belongs to a genre called "vehicle simulator" (this is an actual term), some of the most well-known are MechWarrior or Star Wars TIE Fighter. It's a category originating from PCs, where the controls are often so complex, it requires every key on the keyboard (no joke). In simpler terms, imagine Microsoft Flight Simulator... but for fictional 75-ton mechs. I made a video about this very topic.

[@Cobaltios]

I LOVED playing MechWarrior back in the day... I'm very eager to jump into some more customizable mechs.

[@vandal3136]

The control scheme isn't really what makes Armored Core complicated (they were made for Dualshocks and 360 controllers for crying out loud), it's the customization aspect. Can fine tune everything down to your arms, legs, weapons, boosters, cockpits, weight distribution, (historically) heatsinks, etc. Not just cosmetic or simple weapon swaps, they have a sizable impact on the operation and viability of your mech (to the point where you can accidentally make a top-heavy AC that can't actually walk, or hell even something that explodes on deployment)

[@runJDrun]

Thanks for the info

[@grandgremlin1764]

Love mecha as a genre, never played armored before but I’ve heard of it. Def gonna save up for this!

[@JNM11787]

Im watching these reviews a month later cause Im still HYPED! Your reaction was spot on! Most folks think of Dark Souls, maybe Elden Ring when they see "FROM SOFTWARE" .... I think ARMORED CORE!!! R.I.P Agetec...

[@draochvar9646]

As someone that dropped in late to AC (only a Lynx 😬) it warms my hard to see all the old Ravens rise up for this new entry in their belived franchise.

[@daytonchris8351]

i never played armored core because back then i was always playing gundam, but i remember always wanting to try it because it looked good. now i might have to give it a chance.

[@runJDrun]

This was my gundam before gundam

[@Jerorawr_XD]

Gundam games are very fun, but more arcade-style. Armored Core goes for more of an immersive sim vibe. Light on story, but infinite in options and tactics. Fair warning. No exotic alloys here. You get hit a few times and you are scrap. Such is the way of Fromsoft.

[@Jerorawr_XD]

I had heard whispers that it was coming. I still screamed and cried when I actually saw the trailer. You captured the same excitement I was too emotional to express. I cannot wait to grab the reigns once again. See you on the battlefield sir 07

[@runJDrun]

I’m glad to find all of u fellow armored core fans!

[@Pulkz]

Bro I had no idea what Armored Core is until this trailer. Been soaking up alot of AC4 and 5 after, I AM HYPED.

[@jefferymuffinsbobmarley6128]

finally someone with a similair reaction to me. "that is MY generation" hit hard, im only 24 but Armored Core 3 was the first video game I ever played back on the PS2 with my Uncle. He got me into the series and I am sooooooo beyond thankful that this sequal came out on PC. I've always hyped up the series to my friends, and now I finally got to show them the gameplay.

[@JPRvideos]

I envy Armored Core fans, never played the games but their reactions feels like something I would feel if Metal Gear Solid 6 is announced.

[@craigerz2875]

Bruh imagine how it gonna be. An AC game with the refinement of Sekiro with an Elden Ring budget. My dream game, the kid in me was screaming when the From Soft logo came up

[@azurestream7816]

Love that energy. I had read the posts from redlicorice about how the game was pretty far along, so I knew it was coming, but still feared that it wasn't. Now...after all these years, prepare to suit up fellow Ravens. Our time, is Now.

[@InchonDM]

"It better be good, Geoff, _you way too excited for this."_ Hmm. Was he though?

[@benimanah]

I've never seen you before but your intro is so good it made me sub immediately lol

[@ShadowNinjaMaster93]

I was sitting with my neighbor watching the game awards, and I mentioned that it would be sick if Fromsoft wins Game of the Year and announced a new Armored Core. A few hours later this happened and I got emotional. I jumped, I screamed and I almost choked up crying.

Oh boi, cant wait for the reaction on the NEW trailer ^^
