Month: May 2011
Niji of Armored Core Universe once again provides us with the latest Armored Core V information. This time she shares with us her painstaking translations of some Armored Core V screenshots, which reveal several of the attributes involved in Armored Core assembly.
Shortly after the live demo last May 13th, lots of additional information on Armored Core V was released through the Famitsu site. The details of the article have since been translated and posted by an anonymous poster on popular imageboard 4Chan, and then graciously shared to us by Niji of Armored Core Universe. And now we pass on this information to you.
Update: New video clips added. Also note that another live demo is scheduled for streaming on May 19th at 8:00 PM (GMT+8).
Armored Core V’s live demo was finally aired last night, much to the delight of Armored Core fans everywhere. See the video below in case you missed it or want to watch it again.
The footage showcases such things as the shin-shield, fold-out sniper rifles, wall-jumps, quick boosts and overboosts, and even an AC shoulder tackle or knee strike.
The latest issue of Famitsu magazine reveals several bits of new information, such as a closed beta testing period before the game’s release some time in October, 2011 and the ¥7,800 retail price. A live demo of the game is also scheduled for streaming tomorrow, May 13th, from 21:00 until 23:00 (UTC+9).
Meanwhile, the Armored Core Facebook page was recently updated with lots of new screenshots, which reveal quite a bit about the game. Some of the more interesting ones are featured below.
While Armored Core has a healthy retinue of extension parts for just about every pilot’s needs, there are exceptions. And I don’t mean the cut above the rest, like the extension magazines, or those awesome projectile-swatting AMS that’s saved our asses more times than we can count.
I’m talking about the bottom of the barrel; the sort of parts that leave you scratching your heads and wondering WTF was going on the in the dev’s heads when they created them. They’re the sort of parts you’d rather die than equip on your AC (or more probably, you did die when equipped on your AC), and only keep around so you can brag about having a complete garage.
