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.
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!
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
They perfected the locked camera with each Dark Souls. It really feels like they used everything they learnt with the Souls series to revamp AC gameplay without feeling it wrong. For me AC4 was a complete downgrade to the whole series and they kept that, AC5 was... a game that exists. AC6 just feels great.
@@laiofurious6433 4 Answer is the best one besides 6.. the graphics are beautiful and you get to fly. The series has always been a 6.5 to 8.5 out of 10 game series but I would give 4A a 9 out of 10. Rubicon gets a 9.5 out of 10 IMO
@baldycornrow Yeah, AC4A felt the most intense, but the absolutely golden part of AC6 is actually getting to pilot like in the old cinematics. It's mind blowing if you've played for a long time, just the way the AC handles, the particle effects, the sound design, AC6 is armored core reaching its peak.
Started with Project Phantasma, skipped Gen 2, played Last Raven, played through Gen 4, skipped 5 Now back for Gen 6. This game was a niche game back then (and will continue to be), but I'm so glad more people are recognizing and giving it the credit it deserved.
It had 150 thousand player at launch on steam, more that a lot of triple AAA titles of the year like Resident Evil 4 and Jedi Survivor. It was also in the upper end of the top 10 of games in PS Store before launch. Losing only to Baldur's Gate 3, COD MWIII and one or two other game. I don't think this is considered niche anymore, it's not Elden Ring or Dark Souls yet but it certainly sold at least a order of magnitude more than the previous titles. This has sold a few million copies for sure.
@@b213videoz Having played both, I gotta say they both they have their own niche, and AC even catered to a smaller fanbase than the MechWarrior/BattleTech franchise. You say previous AC was a semblance of MW, I say they're apples and oranges.
@@gris587 Yes, apples Vs oranges: both are fruits with similar characteristics - very comparable. Besides in many languages an orange is known as "applesin" - son of apple?
I mean it does look like a ps3 game lols just look at the objects like cars they're literally just some clumped pixels- but I like it, nothing is wrong with lower graphics. PS2/PS3 days were better
also despite the controls it's probably one of the most fast paced ps1 games I've ever played once you get a good generator and booster, the only reason gen 1-3 look slow is because gen 4 came immediately after, the pace isn't that different from AC6
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)
I had a similar experience in 2013 with a friend's PS2. Don't know exactly which armored core game (assuming it was) I just remember the map was a night time level and was accompanied by a few friendly mechs and the objective was to eliminate the enemy occupying it. I just remember that level and having my mech purple lol.
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
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_
Elden Ring, and The Dark Souls series on a whole, has attracted some of the most toxic players. I'm sometimes ashamed even to say I like the games because they can be truly annoying people. Didn't expect any better from them
I did not know previously about the AC franchise and I am having a blast right now with AC VI as a mecha anime fan. I can finally pilot my own Gundam. For me Elden ring was a disappointment. Failed attempt to reboot DS formula.
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.
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
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 ._.
@deamoncastle5584 he isn't trolling. There are a bunch of hidden parts for example that you can only get after playing the whole game again after beating it. Also unless you're the best pilot, you arnt beating the arena rank 1 easily without some of those parts.
@@GarretTheGussy Interesting. I'm sure I've finished the game at least twice or at least took it as far as i knew I could, even with the new arena challengers. How does this NG+ start?
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 !!
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
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

Feels better to play than to watch I guess.
Easier to spot enemies when they are more prominently singled out.
Player mainly focus on the reticle. So displaying reload time gauge there is actually groundbreaking.

I Mean, that Game was Supposed to be More of a Tactical Mech-Game Simulator, instead of being the Mechanized Fantasy Experience the other Games are.

Amazing how each entry the ACs themselves went from just running straight into high speed flight.
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 was my entry to this series, though I played little else. Glad this series came back with Fires of Rubicon.
Started with Project Phantasma, skipped Gen 2, played Last Raven, played through Gen 4, skipped 5
Now back for Gen 6.
This game was a niche game back then (and will continue to be), but I'm so glad more people are recognizing and giving it the credit it deserved.

Yes, return of the Ravens Armored Core 6 made it's debut this year.
We need the old-school radar set up from AC1 to AC3 back in AC6.
AC 1 .. still AMAZING in 2023
Ahhh the memories 😌😁
The mechanized ones are the best
ACV/ACVD is tactical ground battle, i like that series
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.

@@KianaKaslana366You're just objectively wrong. What actually looks like a ps3 game are the fucking ps3 armored core games
@@skystalker3747100%
I does look a bit dated on some aspects but the fluidity, effects and physics are next level
@@skystalker3747 Just say you never played during the ps3 era. There was plenty of good looking games that top this.
Armored Core Master of Arena, 2, 3 and Silent Line are my favorites! Gonna upgrade my PC to play AC6.
Been playing since master of arena. Love this franchise.
Actually AC1 for ps1 looked incredibly good!
also despite the controls it's probably one of the most fast paced ps1 games I've ever played once you get a good generator and booster, the only reason gen 1-3 look slow is because gen 4 came immediately after, the pace isn't that different from AC6

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 😂

Nothing beats the stupidly fast gameplay of For Answer and it's absolute hopeless atmosphere for me
Reminds me a bit of what NieR: Automata tried to do, maybe Platinum was inspired by For Answer
Ahh yes, the HUD design fail that is AC4 and 5

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