I am not talking about the gameplay. Since I have never played any Armored Core games I have no opinion on it.
But looking at the cutscenes, the animations, the graphics etc. this is by far the best mech game I have ever seen. I might try the game when it comes out if I have the money to spare.
My cousin and I used to play the hell out of armored core back in the PS1 days. It looks like they’ve done a good job of modernizing it, although I wonder how many people who have only played elden ring will try this out thinking it’s similar and end up disappointed.
I remember when it was first announced they were doing interviews and sounded kind of annoyed when all of the journalists kept asking stuff like “will this have souls combat? will this play like elden ring?” and the devs had to explain it was a very different series.
They have shown a lot of gameplay so far. At this point if someone expects souls combat that’s on them.
I never thought Elden Ring would have the mass appeal that it did. Armored Core could surprise us too.
