Dark Souls, From Software’s other possibly more mainstream non-giant-robot cash cow, was just released the other day. And it’s good. We’ll probably be losing sleep over this for the next few days (months), so we’re posting this just so you know what to blame if the front page seems deserted again.
You guys can join the Dark Souls discussion in the forum if you’re as enthusiastic about the game.
Blades and giant robots always seem to go hand in hand (despite the probable impracticality), and Armored Core V is no exception in the hyperbolic treatment of this fan-favorite cliché.
Niji of ACU, who was fortunate enough to be included in the closed beta test, reports that the basic blade in ACV nearly one-shots most ACs and that the range and sweep is just as devastating.
Longtime AC enthusiast and occasional forum poster Taurustrin continues to impress with his highly stylized depictions of Armored Cores, such as in this wallpaper-worthy rendition of White Glint.
You’ll find more of his amazing work below and at his deviantart page.
J.E_Magog at the forums brought to our attention a video from Gamescom 2011 featuring live Armored Core V team play.
In the video, the commander (with a cool accent) tries to lead the team through the familiar Armored Core destroy-all-targets mission spiced up with co-op action.
…And we’re back from the dead, yet again. Not that there’s an unlimited number of things to cover when you only blog about giant robots.
So if you’ve not been keeping up with the latest Armored Core news, allow us to recap a bit.
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.
