A recent news coverage by Japanese site Game Watch features a lot of new screen shots showcasing new parts and rankers in the upcoming Armored Core: Silent Line Portable for the PSP.

In addition, two new arena rankers will be featured in the game including the Victoria AC from the Brave New World side story and a new ranker opponent incorporating the MHD-72-50 in its design.

Victoria AC for Silent Line Portable
Looks like Silent Line Portable will be getting a new head part based on the Brave New World side story, as the AC Victoria is confirmed to appear in the game. No details on the part functions as of the moment, but it seems to be a trend as the GLITCH head from AC3P was also from the Brave New World side story. More pics of the head part after the jump.

New Parts for Silent Line Portable Confirmed
The recently released screen shot of Silent Line Portable confirms the existence of 2 new parts: the legendary Green Rifle from Project Phantasma, and the BEX-AA00 armor extensions from Another Age. See the complete list of new parts for the upcoming game below:
Armored Core Portable Controls
One of FROM's biggest hurdles in converting their PS2 Armored Core titles to the PSP was the control scheme. The inherent difference in the number of buttons on the dual shock and the PSP meant that the controls simply couldn't be the same. This is evidenced by how FROM's first portable Armored Core game, Formula Front, was initially an AI arena only. FROM eventually did implement player control, but with automated vertical aiming due to the absence of the L2 and R2 buttons on the PSP. This made for what enthusiasts considered a dumbed down Armored Core experience.
With the release of Armored Core 3 Portable and the announcement of Silent Line Portable, many players wondered how FROM would work around this button handicap. The image below shows how they decided to lay out the default controls.
Silent Line Portable: New Parts

Recent screenshots of the upcoming Armored Core Silent Line Portable game for the PSP have revealed a variety of new parts to be included in the next AC game as well as some new features.
1. Shortened load time thanks to some of the game data being installed in the memory stick.
2. Data from AC3P can be carried over, though only 1/10 of the credits will be ported over aside from all of the parts.
3. A.I. training seems to be back as well.
On to the new parts:
Armored Core: Silent Line Portable
After the release of Armored Core 3 Portable for the PSP last July, From's next entry in its PSP ports series is Armored Core: Silent Line, which is scheduled for a November 19, 2009 release. One of the highlights of this new edition is the reappearance of the legendary Karasawa Mk II first seen in Armored Core 2, and it seems like it retains most of its stats except for the reduced ammo count as seen below:
