No Comments on Armored Core V Extra Missions and Screenshots

The official Armored Core V site has been updated with a new single player section as well as our regular dose of new screenshots, which you’ll also find on the Armored Core FB page.

In other news, Mecha Damashii, through 4Gamer, reports that TypeD No.5, the lovable big red mech we’ve all seen in the promotions, is but one of many special bosses for teams to tackle in Armored Core V’s extra missions. Sorry about the comma abuse.

And to top this post off, I’ll throw in a month-old gameplay video, presumably from TGS 2011, that we’ve yet to feature:

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.

Blading in Armored Core V

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.

Kōgorō Kurata, who years ago built a life-size VOTOMS statue, is now concentrating his efforts on building his very own 4-ton 4-meter-tall rideable mech. Once complete, the mech will be able to move through hydraulics, software, and a diesel engine, and it will even have a working cockpit hatch.

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.
