The Evolution of Armored Core Games [1997-2023]

I remember seeing comments from souls fans back when AC6 was revealed like: "Why is From spending time making a mech game that nobody will care about? What even is Armored Core?" And: "From is making an awfully decision putting money into this when they could be making Elden Ring 2."

The fact that these very same people are now singing the praises of AC6 makes me really happy.

Now if only from adds Panther's theme as some sort of DLC down the line

And now I have a video to throw at anyone claiming AC 6 is 'good GFX for a PS3 game' or other nonsense. Thanks HypnoZilla.

Remember when you could just tank through damage? 🤣 cause I don't 💀

I've heard some people complain about AC5's HUD, and now I fully understand after seeing this video. Putting everything on the reticle was such a bizarre design choice.

Es hora de armored corear

AC2 was my entry to this series, though I played little else. Glad this series came back with Fires of Rubicon.

AC 1 .. still AMAZING in 2023

Well, AC 6: Fires of Rubicon is out for about a week and I felt some nostalgia when it showed in video .. like it's already a 'classic' ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )
Good job FromSoftware, goog job ._.

Nothing beats the stupidly fast gameplay of For Answer and it's absolute hopeless atmosphere for me

Is only me or the NEXTs in the firsts games remind a zaku 2 from gundam?

AC2 all the way, the controls were tough but dam good story and ng+

Ahh yes, the HUD design fail that is AC4 and 5

Actually AC1 for ps1 looked incredibly good!

Currently playing AC6 and I'm really enjoying it. Don't think its my first AC though. I vaguely remember playing a mecha game sometime around 2001-2003(I think the map was a greyish looking beach)

The first few example looks like you play as regular zaku

Ac6 reticule snapping to each target perfectly is so satisfying to look at when your zipping all over the place in utter chaos. Feels like it took them 25 years to nail it

Outro song name?

Yes, return of the Ravens Armored Core 6 made it's debut this year.

ACV/ACVD is tactical ground battle, i like that series

PS2 is best

Objectivement, je me suis beaucoup plus amusé sur "Armored core for answer" qui est pour moi un coup de cœur. tout est épic dedans sauf la difficulté et certaine mission bien trop courte. C'est le jeu le plus complet de toute la séries confondu et le seul ou on pouvez faire la campagne a 2 joueurs !!

4 is my first, its pretty slow and empty at start but it grew on me after few builds. Lots and lots of equipment to play around with

Ac2 on ps2 is the best out of the series. Well now that 6 is out ill give Ac2 second place. Silent line 3rd project phantasma 4 and Nexus/ninebreaker 5

AC 6 has dated graphics, they say.

Also them, thinks anything rendered in the bland plastic graphics of Unreal engine is artistic.

Hey guys, i thinking of buying one for ps3, do i take armored core 5 or veredict day?

A principio de año comencé la saga y jugué AC, PP, MoA, 2, AA, 3, SL, N, LR, 4, FA y estoy terminando el 5. Es hermoso cuando arrancás una saga y te enterás que sigue viva
Me pasó lo mismo cuando comencé Way of the samurai y me enteré que había uno para la nueva gen (aunque algo distinto) y con Borderlands, cuando arranqué el 2 (borderlands) anunciaron el 3 y me volví loco jajaja

初代〜3辺りまでの動きがモッサリして見えるのは小ジャンプみたいなテクを使ってないからであって、昔から上手い人はピョンピョン軽快に操作できるくらい完成されたゲームだったんですよ…？

Played around Last Raven, didn't manage to beat EXUSIA in AC 5, and now playing AC 6, beating it four times and got all endings 😂

We need the old-school radar set up from AC1 to AC3 back in AC6.

Man, I played them all to look at the graphics now . They are not as awesome as I thought at the time 😅 ,but still great memories.

I can hear the og ACs in my soul.

Geil

i wish they resell it on steam

ACLRの青パルは悪夢の様な難易度だった。

Can I just say in armored core 6 it was a missed opportunity to have the junk ac give you the controls of ac1 or one of the older games. At least forcing you to use the old aiming style

ah, so they've always looked and played like shit

My first AC game was 4, i got it when i was like 12 and it confused the heck out of me, the building the different styles, it was nuts, i basicallygot half-way through it with one of the starter NEXTS. But there was something about it that stuck with me, so around the time gamestop was going to no longer sell ps2 games, i bought 2 &3, 2s controls were waaaaay more complex than i had anticipated, especially not using the joysticks, but it somehow helped me learn how complex AC is, and its building system was alot easier to get behind. So 2 & 3 were what got me really into the series. Eventually i got 5 and vertict day since gamestop was doing a bundle deal with them, and BOY did i became obsessed with them! So when AC6 came out it was like taking a trip down memory lane and i couldn't be more happy with it!

For Answer is such a fucking vibe

I ever olayed AC at ps1 till END 🤣👍

Wasn't too hard back in the day

este ultimo juego ya marca una linea muy buena se nota mucho el trabajo en este pero aun asi puede salir alguien y proponer una idea mucho mas fresaca e innovadora ,el lore es vital para que un mecha sea sublime y sigue sin tenerlo presentarlo como un lineal de disparos de nuevo es el handicap

FoR was my first of the AC series and I loved every second of it, got all 3 endings already 💪

Armored Core Master of Arena, 2, 3 and Silent Line are my favorites! Gonna upgrade my PC to play AC6.

Wow. Coming from an AC6 fan, this franchise really went through some major gameplay changes during its lifetime. I can’t even see any resemblance unit AC4 and even then, it still looks totally different from AC6.

The jump in graphics and smoothness from Verdict Day to 6 is massive. 10 years is a long ass time between 2 games in the same franchise but the soulsborne games took up all of ther resources before Elden Ring.

Gen 1, the best baby.

Y luego mucha gente dice que este juego se baso en Sekiro, me río en la cara de toda esa gente que desinforma, en todo caso Sekiro se baso en Armored Core que lleva muchos años existiendo

I bought AC VI and got what I paid for, high speed battles and the ability to pilot a Mobile Suit, isn’t that what we all wanted?

its cool watching the changes in console generations
