Ballsiest Way To Defeat The Final Pulverizer
Get ready for an upset...
The Final Pulverizer is a big blue menace. Fast, hard hitting, and nigh unstoppable for the rookies of Armored Core, it fittingly deserves the position of being the final boss of Armored Core Last Raven (Once the player unlocks all missions and ending paths).
Sure there are various methods of defeating Armored Core Last Raven's secret boss for the series' veterans (The seemingly useless Parry Blades for example), but by far the ballsiest way to kill the damn thing is by using nothing more than the starter AC. This also works for players seemingly strapped for cash in-game (how you run out of money at this point of the game, we don't know). Hit the jump for the video:
Last Raven Portable English Released On PSN
Go grab it now on the PSN for $14.99, and re-live what many of the old-hat Ravens say is the best and last true Armored Core game ever made. See our coverage leading up to the release of the game for features and extras present in this incarnation of Armored Core from the appropriate tag.
Updated: Armored Core Championship Tournament Season 3 Preliminary Results
The official From Software sponsored Armored Core Championship Tournament has completed its preliminary round for its 3rd season and uses the recently released Last Raven Portable on the PSP platform. The well documented tournament has a wonderful set of videos coming from the Kinki and Tokai prefectures of Japan as of the moment.
A quick look on the new videos reviles the absence of new parts included by From from any of the Portable series releases, which leads us to think that the top players in this tournament prefer tried and true formulas rather than embark on a risky experiment with their designs. In addition all the designs used the very powerful TP booster, which was banned in many tournament circles outside Japan as well as our very own Philippine Armored Core Tournament for the past 5 iterations. Much of the fights also boil down to a war of attrition, with hangared pulse weapons and handguns taking center stage.

Armored Core Retribution Models
We reported a few weeks ago that Dengeki Online's Armored Core Retribution's ACs will be making an appearance in Last Raven Portable. So we dug up an old set of pictures on what these ACs look like in their original inception. Taken from Chara Hobby 2007 by Danny Choo, we hope you enjoy the pics of wonderful modeling.

Armored Core Last Raven Portable English Trailer And Release Date
From Software's official YouTube channel recently posted an English trailer of Armored Core Last Raven Portable, which also reveals the release date on May 6, 2010. Like the previous versions of the Armored Core portable series, Last Raven Portable will be released through PSN at the same price of $14.95. At least we now know for sure that Last Raven Portable will finally be accessible to Armored Core's international fans. Hit the jump for the official English trailer:
Armored Core Last Raven Portable Released & Related News
Armored Core Last Raven Portable gets released today in Japan for the PSP. With this, From Software is also launching its Armored Core Battle TV service and an announcement of a new Armored Core Championship Tournament Season. It looks like From Soft is trying their best to promote LR:P for its fans.
From Soft’s Armored Core Battle TV
Some interesting developments in Armored Core's official website. From seems to be launching a replay based broadcast service upon the release of Last Raven Portable early this March. Speculations run that the service will allow players to upload and download various replay battles that builds upon Armored Core: Last Raven's ability to save and load battle replays, a first for the series on the PS2, and likely the feature is being ported over to the PSP version as well.
Suddenly, we're getting this idea of roving caravans of LR player teams all over Japan with their PSPs duking it out with other AC groups and posting the replays on Armored Core Battle TV. No news if this service will also be accessed when the international English version does get released.
In other news, From released a variety of Armored Core based themes for the PSP, go check them out as well.
Thanks NiX for the heads up.

Armored Core Retribution ACs Featured in Last Raven Portable
Dengeki Online Magazine has released a new batch of screen shots for the upcoming Armored Core Last Raven Portable, and these compelling screen shots show that one more additional item that seems to be missing from the Last Raven Portable extra parts list.
It seems that ACs featured in Dengeki Hobby Magazine's own Armored Core Retribution published back in 2007 will be featured in the game, much like how the Victoria AC from Brave New World was featured in Silent Line Portable.
From the screen shots, we can see that this new arm part will function as a shield given its arm position, unless there are last-minute changes in its design and function for the final release. Additional screen shots after the jump.
Armored Core Last Raven Portable Extra Parts Revealed

A new parts list for the the upcoming Armored Core Last Raven Portable for the PSP has been announced, and from the looks of it From chose to bring back more classic parts from older AC titles instead of introducing new ones for the game. Most notable among the new additions is the WX-S800-GF from AC1 which launches 6 tightly spread missiles in the original game. The complete list of new parts after the jump:
