TBH I wish we could get a legacy collection for the first 3 generations of the series so the newer players can experience them without shelling out a lot of money for a copy of a game they might not like or be in good condition.

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

@@obsidianblack7249 I'd pay so much for a full rereleaae like that. Not even a remaster just let me thank FromSoft for some of my favorite games

[@haxor7372]

@@Bucket_BuffoonDon’t forget about modern controls too, turning and aiming with the bumpers would be a nightmare for us gamers today Huge respect to the gigachads who pulled it off back then 🫡

[@dragonknight4412]

or they can just emulate the game 😂

[@obsidianblack7249]

@dragonknight4412 what if they prefer playing on console or want the collection to show Fromsoft that people still want to see more games in the future. To show we want another gen6 game or not have to wait almost a decade for the next one.

[@operatorinmask4066]

Phones advanced enough to normally emulate PS2 games with ± stable FPS, idea of Golder Raven collection on phone sounds pretty good, knowing how actually comfortable AC controls if change a bit on mobile. See Formula Front 2 Also sounds good because it's will help From software be more independent if it's gonna have micro-transactions and other ways of monitisation to survive on mobile market, it's would made lots of noise. (I also have few ideas how to made original AC gens on mobile, like Armored Core with some experimental changes, like swimming AC with water surface what defending you from bullets and making no lock-on torpedoes/rockets auto aim underwater. Or something I'm AC: V and Verdict Day multiplayer style with corporations and clans/nest wars for territory and exclusive loot.

[@krebsfish5035]

I gen energy cannon sound really caught me off guard there

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

Listen I love my cheesy energy weapon sounds, and ACVI's energy weapons sound like noodles lol

[@JeffHikari]

You can't fool me, those are PSX era X-Buster sound effects for the shoulder plasma cannon!

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

​@@JeffHikari Partially! It's a mix of Optimus's Ion Blaster, some plasma hisses from Fallout 4, and the X-Buster from MMX4/5 No other 2D game has a more satisfying weapon than the PSX-Buster.

Extremely high effort video really enjoyed it! Love the shot of them looking over the destroyed Raven as if taking their place back.

[@arandomvulpix8570]

Almost identical to the build I made the other idea, the primary exception being, instead of the ALBA core, I used the EPHEMERA's. Still pretty cool though!

It also has a novel! Armored Core lore goes wild lol

[@accursed115]

Hey thanks for making this video, stumbled upon this channel by chance and was just so happening to look for another AC to run and build off of based on older AC designs and wanting an excuse to use the Laser Blade over another Pulse Blade or Hammer build. Am curious about a few things; 1. Why didn't you take an Expansion like Assault Armor? I can understand if it fits the old-gen theme given they didn't have such advanced tech, but wouldn't bringing them into AC6 include picking one that the pilot would probably pick as well? 2. What song did you use for the fight against Arye? Other than that, great video and trivia for Master of Arena!

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

First off, glad I could be what you wanted to find! But secondly: 1) Besides Stinger and the upcoming Hustler, every Gen 1 AC lacks a core expansion to simulate bringing the Gen 1 AC into the 6th gen, like we're digging up an old relic and using it against modern enemies. 2) That's the ACVI remix of Apex in Circle. They hid all the good music in the bonus disc rip

[@accursed115]

@Bucket_Buffoon Thank you for answering! I had no idea they released a bonus disc with remixes of older AC songs like Apex in Circle, despite owning the artbook and soundtrack already from preordering ACVI. Time to get hunting.

[@Hunter-ex6ky]

Can you make a pinned comment with the parts list for this ac? You know for those who can't use the code in the description? Please?

7:08 Let's be honest, you were a little bit scared at that time right? don't worry, I was scared too, lmao that was sooo close hahaha

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

My heart jumped for a moment but then the *blinding hatred of that stupid piece of Coral* and a repair kit overcame any fear.

[@Aterriblepilot]

Ok so. I’m gonna need you to hear me out here. Know the MS-06 Zaku II? You know, that mono eyed ,green, and gas mask head looking thing? I had this idea I wanted to do for a while, and yes, it’s somewhat related to murder drones. How about a solver host MS-06, or one with a murder drones themed paintjob?

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

@@Aterriblepilot Classic MS-06 needs to come out of my garage first, but once he's done maybe!

[@AgatBro]

now this is some serious content production. noice 👌 can i ask if that music background during the garage section was from front mission 3? soon as i heard it, i was like- omg… i think that’s from front missions 3?! 😍lol

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

That is Shape Memory Alloys, the original garage music from Armored Core 1 Specifically the CD version of the track not the PS1 soundfont version

[@AgatBro]

@ ah, gotcha. thank you. guess i’ve played so much mech games that im just starting to blend everything together. lol oh, and speaking of! can i ask where are the sound effects from the weapon fire are from? i wanna try’n guess and say one of’em are from super meteoroid?🤔lol

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

​@@AgatBro The star of the show is a mixed up Karasawa from AC2, with the plasma cannon being a mixture of a few different sounds including Optimus's Ion Blaster, the X Buster from X4, and a few other things

[@AgatBro]

@@Bucket_Buffoon ahh, x buster! no wonder it sounds so familiar. couldn’t put my finger on it and kept trying to figure it the whole time, haha. anyways, great video 👍

@@mylesmoody2853 White Glint will get some love eventually, but quite frankly the Gen 1 ACs deserve the most attention, at least from me. Gen 1 and 3 are my favs, so I can definitely put more affection towards the older mechs

[@Ahamkeira]

id love to play these old ac games but the lack of analog controls for the camera keeps me away entirely

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

@@Ahamkeira This is easily solved with Emulation actually. For the PS1 games: Map your movement controls to the left D-Pad, and all aiming to the Face Buttons. This can be done in the in-game settings. Then, in your emulator bind your stick inputs to their respective buttons. Boom. Traditional controls in AC1. Follow this formula for the other gens, but in PCSX2 instead of Retroarch. Hell, you can even do it with the PSP games on PPSSPP.

i see only three issues. A: using LRA rather then karasawa? why? B: fasan rather then LCS... ooookay? C: the incredible amount of non-AC noises for... everything. other then those three nit-picks, which i can see the reasoning for A and B, the cosplay is very nice. even got the colors the smoke grey the AC is.

[@Bucket_Buffoon]

@@klortikterra4423 Actually it's quite simple for A and B: They look and function more like the GEN 1 weapons Annihilator had equipped. The original "Laser Cannon" was really the Grenade Launcher reskinned as an Energy Weapon, and the LRA functions and looks more like the Karasawa Mk. 1: a big, heavy, reliable Laser Weapon with a lot of punch. Also it isn't ugly as sin. As for C: Yeah that's just a staple of the channel at this point I'm too far deep to stop now. If I don't put the classic AC sounds/Mecha sounds then its admitting defeat on the entire bit lol.

[@klortikterra4423]

@@Bucket_Buffoon aaah, i see. fair enough i suppose, and LRA is a nice laser rifle. and C, you just sealed your fate my guy, your too far gone now.

I can’t stand lightweight builds now 😤 All they do is use two kinetic weapons and stay at a distance shooting you and for some reason I’m never able to catch up to them or get into a firing range to land hits.? Tf

I'm not allowed to talk because my go-to PvP build is an actual literal crab that harasses in CQC with the hover legs and double laser claws.
