      The view of the giant robots tiny head made it look weirdly vulnerable and cute, like an oversized dog.
      It'd make sense they're piloted in the same way as the ACs.
      It plays up the body horror not only of being turned into a shrink wrapped corpse but also forced to act as the brain of something inorganic and malformed.

    So many little details in this trailer. 620 diving in front of 617 to what looks like confuse the targeting system on the ground tank. 620 looking like hes realised the weapons hes carrying aint gonna cut through that armor and going to switch as he gets hit by the plasma shotgun and taken out the air.
    617 619 and 620 seem like a very well oiled unit, who have been fighting together for a long time, covering the weaknesses in each others weapon choices through the flexibility in each others arsenal.

    A tiny detail that I notice and love is how, as soon as -l619l- 620 got their right arm blasted off by that energy shotgun cannon thing, they immediately start shooting with their left arm gun. No freezing or shock of losing their arm, no evasive maneuvers to get out of the sights of that cannon, just right back to attacking the dammed thing, focused only on completing the mission and blasting through what's in front of them. Tells you a lot about how these "Hounds" tends to operate.

      Definitely diving headfirst into the darkness I've always loved about this franchise. That's the thing people can't see if they just watch the old gameplay videos, and watch clips. It's the tone. The actual dark scifi that it truly is. From Software is no stranger to this theme in its games, and Armored Core is no different. It's at the heart of From Software. It's in the title.

    This trailer is a good blend of fantasy and realism and made it's world believable here. The mech that narrowly avoids the first laser blast, you hear the sound of powerful jets screaming away, trying to keep it upright even as it's squatting down from the landing, so it really gives a sense of weight even with the speed they travel at. The second one was in mid fire of it's missile salvo that probably caused it to dodge a second late and rather than the enemy weapons being a joke it absolutely shreds through the armor showing for how powerful the mechs are presented they're like tanks of today and are weapons platforms rather than nearly invincible Gundam. Same with the energy shield right after, even though it's a fantasy element it's shown to only be able to do so much before it fails from enemy fire with the mech losing an arm right after emphasizing the level of danger. The dialog in between help build anticipation for the battle scenes and gives you an inference of just how merciless this world is. You pick up on all these cues intuitively too. No screaming hero, no needless dialog. It's really a good trailer, grim, gritty and suspends your disbelief to make an impact.

    • @Azuchilimited
      @Azuchilimited Рік тому +13

      @RAAM855 Based Evidence, but Armored Core is still more realistic than Gundam overall. I look at AC as if... what if Gundam was In its own universe, but under the rules of standard reality, I'd say the older games would definitely fit this rule...
      Imo, The Monster Monsterverse, Gundam, AC, PR, all take place in the same universe, just alternate timelines 🗿. Hell, even Blaster Master could count somewhere in the background, just like no one talks about how Space Dandy and Cowboy Bebop could technically be in the same universe.
      I would say though, Gundam and AC are the most compatible having a shared universe, and a crossover title would probably bring the mecha fans to their knees.
      PR and The Monsterverse imo for the most compatible together but would need heavy timeliness adjustment, and it would make sense for humanoid mecha to be thought of only after the successful production of Mecha Godzilla to separate the humans a bit more from their wartime targets.
      I could actually see maybe Cowboy Bebop actually fitting well with GITS if you count personal aircraft as not being widespread and affordable yet for the general populace, with hacks and such maybe being attributed to certain individuals....

    Edit: The American Red Cross doesn't count. It's a blood transfusion and has nothing to do with the "brutality" that I'm talking about. I'm saying they don't cut to the pilots in the cockpits with bruises and cuts like in other mech media.

      Walter seems the type to suppress and bury his compassion, since it's a brutal world and they have to be ruthless - not to survive, but to succeed - for his own sake, as if he lets his emotions control him, it may be a matter of life or death.
      Damn, Walter's such a good character. Another one that I like is G1 Michigan, since he's similar to Walter in that he's not allowing his personal feelings show, but instead of being cold he's being snarky instead.

      The piano portion of the song in the trailer is called "resolve". It's representative of Walter's resolve to keep fighting, no matter what he has to do to obtain his goals. Even if it means he has to become a monster that uses human beings like tools. He has to do it, because he'll do anything to ensure that the disaster that turned him into the man he is today doesn't happen again.

      The fact that he was just like I’ve had enough of this bull crap, and over boosted straight into that tank so hard stop it from moving when it has so much more mass in force than that core
      And then he just unloads the entire chain gun point blank and rams the super heated barrel into what I’m assuming is the control core or cockpit of that thing like a super heated drill. It’s just absolutely ridiculous imagery.
      If the game were more realistic, in terms of how it was played and operated, that would be a thing you could do like that is some absolutely ridiculous stuff reminds me of the armored core four trailer were the primary AC, and that was just zipping around MTs and the last one he just absolutely guts with his rifle using it as a giant spear white oil drips down from it, and splashes onto its optics

    Summary of what I understood :
    We're playing the augmented human number 621, integrated in an AC of the "C4" model. Our boss is the handler nicknamed "Walter", who sends us on Rubicon for some reason.
    Theories : augmented humans seem to be some sort of property to handlers : notice how "walter" calls the pilot "it", how the doc calls our character "functional" like we're some machine. Augmented humans probably have no human rights or at least aren't considered having the worth of a human by the rest anymore). Other theory is, notice how the AC wakes up but not the pilot's body. It kinda feels like these ACs (or at least our own) are like the Dreadnoughts from Warhammer40k, a machine controlled by the will of the inert body that is now stuck in it for good (thanks to the Coral, see the gameplay trailer again).

    Welcome to the world of Armored Core where it’s dog-eat-dog, your life is as important as equipment, and your AC is as powerful as your piloting skills. Friendship? Ideals? Romance? We don’t do that here, only work is your priority. Nothing else matters.
    Edit: Remember when I said that “Friendship? Ideals? Romance?” doesn’t exist in Armored Core. Yeah, forget I said that as you CAN have all three of those and more! Friendship? You can have a bromance with your ol’ lovable war buddy, Rusty! Ideals? You can either be Rubicon 3’s destroyer or savior! Romance? You got waifus in your head, listen to the intrusive thoughts and you can clap some intangible cheeks! We can even terrorize G5 Iguazu who complains about his inadequacy in comparison to our strengths and we can just say that we have a lady in our head who calls us studmuffin~!

    I'm not ashamed to say this trailer brought a tear to my eye. For me, Fromsoft has created an atmosphere and tone which draws me in, even with how little has been revealed.
    In particular, when the AC rams it's chaingun into the huge MT, the camera angle changes to the face of the AC and you can see the AC lean in defiantly, like we see in other forms of media when two characters come face to face. This strikes me as very human and like I said it makes me unexpectedly emotional.
