Armored Core V – Cinematic Exposé

J.E_Magog in the forums just made an exposé of FromSoft’s apparent liberal use of real-life references for the recently unveiled Armored Core V cinematic.

Armored Core V – Trailer / CG Opening Cinematic

FromSoft’s own YouTube channel just got updated with the full version of the Armored Core V teaser clip that was shown last June 1st. This video done in exceptionally realistic CG tells quite a bit about the game’s premise, such as the uncovering of ancient machines to be used in an ongoing war.

Uploaded a few days before the Armored Core V video are clips from the also highly anticipated (and equally amazing) FromSoft game Dark Souls. You can check all these out at the FromSoft channel.

Armored Core V – CG Opening Cinematic

Update: So apparently, the video above (which has been replaced with FromSoft’s own high-quality upload) is just a snippet of the actual opening cinematic for the game. The whole thing is scheduled for June 6th. The archived footage of the full broadcast, which mostly touches on the story and missions, has also been added below.

yatagami0 on YouTube swiftly uploaded Armored Core V’s CG opening cinematic right after the conclusion of fourth live demo, which is really great for those of us who missed it!

This latest Armored Core cinematic shows some staggering detail, which probably exceeds the standards set by all their previous efforts despite being a bit shorter in length. It’ll probably look even more amazing in HD.

Armored Core V – The LIVE for REBOOT – EXTENDED 3 Announced

The Armored Core official site has just been updated with the schedule of yet another tease-fest that is the Armored Core V – The LIVE for REBOOT. This fourth installment of their Armored Core V streaming demo series promises to feature the game’s whole CG intro cinematic. And based on all previous Armored Core CG openings (except maybe Project Phantasma, which was pretty bad), this should be epic as well.

Expect the stream to go up on June 2nd at 7:00 PM (Japan time) through their usual Famitsu and Ustream channels.

Battle Armor Division (B.A.D.)

Mecha Damashii recently covered the release of interestingly titled mecha side-scroller Battle Armor Division (B.A.D.) by Crian Soft. As you’ll see in the video below, the gameplay is very reminiscent of mecha classics such as Assault Suits Valken (Cybernator) and Metal Warriors.

Armored Core V – The LIVE for REBOOT – EXTENDED 2

Update: New video clips added!

Last night was yet another live demonstration for the upcoming Armored Core V. I hear that tanks and quads and anime decals were shown, though I actually haven’t watched it yet. But you can see for yourself in the recorded video below.

Update: The video finally introduces ACV Quads and Tanks. Get ready to see some semi-transforming “Siege Mode” and first-person view zooming for Quads, and a slug fest with some Tanks. Some decal editing was thrown in too, as you can see in the image above.

Armored Core: Limit Release Progress

This fine and dandy Armored Core modification for Unreal Tournament has been in development for a year now, and much progress has been made since its inception.

For this update, progress has been made with new animations which you can check out below.
