On the screens, I've seen them before, but I forgot where. Honestly, I'm hoping that its just an early version of what we're really going to see in the final game. I know AC4 is a first-generation PS3 game, but I'm sure From can do much better with its hardware than that. I've seen some of the other PS3 games in the pipeline... their maximum draw range and detail seems to be both higher than these. Too much 'smokiness' in the pictures... not enough draw distance.
But the action itself looks to be promising. More of flying around and maneuvering... I just hope it's all balanced though. I don't want AC to become sorta like ZOE where you can constantly be in the air... I want AC to retain many of its former game mechanics. They're part of the reason as to why skill can dominate in the game, if its policed right (and by that I mean banning certain parts from play).
And the speed! I think I've said this before in Serene's thread (same video BTW :tongue
, it does equal that of ZOE's. I'd love to get my grubby paws on this game, and soon.

Either that thing is blade tracking or the pilot's just good...
17K?! Was that the armor point? Puchit~ Now that's armored!

From a strict gameplay standpoint, it's looking very fun and awesome.
But as a hardcore AC fan, I have some qualms about it. It seems that there's some kind of premium given to bipeds, since they can literally fly/hover now? Not that they haven't always been the favorite of players, but will this reduce the tactical use of quads, tanks and other leg sets? I surely hope not, I mightily enjoy quads and tanks (that reminds me, Rick, when are you going to put up that tank battle? XD).
Emphasis of the gameplay is leaning very heavily on moving around all the time (well, it's always been like that, but now to a much much greater degree). I realize that tactical play's probably a boring thing to show in promotional videos, but I'd like to see some hide and seek going on there, not just two ACs flying around like flies in the air and taking shots at each other. Sana lang talaga kapag nalalaro na natin yung game nandun parin yung aspect na yun.
But whatever, I think I'll still enjoy this game no matter what when I get it.

You rock dude.
EDIT: Except these vids were of the battles were I sucked ass, totally.
Where's my only good tank battle of that day? XD
- wanzerfreak - 11-21-2006
too much flying around and not using the environment to gain a tactical advantage. great.
plus i'm getting the impression that manual aiming is gone for good. all you have to do is hit the target select button and let the game do the aiming for you.
my prediction: this game is gonna be a noobfest.

Bam!
A piece of information I found over at RH:
<!--QuoteBegin-Cacophanus+--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (Cacophanus)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'><!--QuoteEBegin--> <a href='http://www.armoredcore.net/ac4/faq/index.html' target='_blank'>http://www.armoredcore.net/ac4/faq/index.html</a>
They cover pretty much all the questions people have had. A few pertinent points are:
* Radiators are gone.
* Part breaking is gone.
* Float type legs are gone (but all legs in the game have the same floating ability).
* There is no compatability planned between the PS3 and 360 versions (no surprise there).
* The Moonlight and Karasawa are still in the game.
* Stabilisers correct peculiar movements of the high powered AC's (so this sounds like a necessary part the more you pimp out the AC's performance).
* Blade homing is back.
* You play as a NEXT type pilot (basically uber human plus to all intents and purposes).[/quote:d96aee1f6b]
Finally, no more radiators! Woo! And blade homing is back! Woo!
I agree with wanzer about the newb-fest thing, but only because this is supposed to be the game that's going to make AC mainstream.

m-m-m-mainstream!?!?!?!
