I was just about to whine because we haven't heard from NamcoBandai for a long time.

Apparently Gamestop is making a unique weapons content package for American players who preorder the game; and Japanese players are getting weapon codes from a popular game magazine.

Not a fan of this "exclusive' content, but how good/imbalanced it is compared to actual game weapons remains to be seen.

Wanna see imbalanced?

Armored Core V Features Ninja and Skeleton Soldiers as Download Content

Hahah they better not put a soulsucking Allant in there. If only there were LR parts!

Btw, I might have to get the JP version when I see it in Datablitz ASAP (if it doesn't up like FME), because I've had problems playing in the US servers regarding ping (and yeah, Japan's much nearer to us anyway).

Dear god, NINJA PILOTS.

AC's most bad arse soundtrack 2date IMO

I have to disagree. Its not as good as the general epic thrust-into-next-gen theme of the Armored Core 4 OST.

I would have to disagree with both of you the older Armored Core games have better OST

I would have to disagree with you because I like Dark Souls's soundtrack much better.

LOL. Anyway, Re-read this whole thread with the latest updates. I hope this turns out to be great.

Update from Live stream

From fellow MV user SouthQ:
Brief summary of the Stream ~Last Bullet~
Showing off the DLC that was revealed earlier by Famitsu (mentioned on Mecha Damashii ) oh, those men that you control after getting destroyed? They can fire and attack AC, but don’t expect it to take them down though; one shot from AC will destroy them. However it does look like they cannot be targeted, though.
Host and Guests playing a few Online Conquest matches of ACV, revealing various game mode (Data post and destroy target) Possible outcomes that affect the tide of the takeover from succeeding each game modes?
Reveal of new OW, a giant Hammer which functions almost the same as the Chainsaw OW, but with no arm loss. (Call it Burning Hammer just for the lol)
Showed off options and also showed off the ability to change the computer in game voice. A potential DLC add on for more voices similar to Blazblue: CS announcer DLC?
New miniature model
In depth information on the Territory turrets. Looks like that you have to buy to build and place them. Could that mean that there two bank balance for individual and team?
Single player does have Partnership. (Co-op for those who never played ACFA)
A new ACV vid that shows a bit of the story mode.
You can toggle the Garage background, choosing what you want or don’t want to give yourself that homely feel.
That should be all of it, however, I didn't really write down as I go along which is very annoying for me as I am sure that there are other information.

EDIT: Video of the gameplay should be out soon on Youtube, so keep an eye out.
-------------------------------------
Here's mine:

The first few moments of the stream showed us a lot of cutscenes that we haven't seen including ACs, bosses, and other things. This hopefully means that we will have story play a greater role here.
They showed some new AC parts, and confirmed that there are two types of sniper weapons, the sniper rifle and sniper cannon which is 1 hit KO
The customizable garage was shown in more depth, and also showed what else you can do. You can not only litter it with ammo, parts, and misccellaneous objects, but also add things in the background like ships and buildings.
They showed some ACFA emblems, but we have no clue what they were for
There were some teamplay battles showing how the operator works and a few game modes.
I left after two hours because I was tired as hell. Shame I messed the the hammer OW.



If you want to watch the live stream, go here. Its been broken up into three pieces.
Part 1: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19804020
Part 2: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19804836
Part 3: http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/19805977

Also, if you have any other questions about the Live stream feel free to ask. I watched liked the first two hours before deciding I was too tired to go on.

More details on the ACV demo. I made myself a japanese account and figured out how to spell Armored Core so I'm ready when it comes out.

I've also made an account for JP so that I can download the ACV demo on the 19th.
We also got some people at MV who are doing the same. If you'd like to join in on the online action with us English people feel free to hit us up.

Last but not least, here is the first five minutes of the live stream. All cutscenes, 100% awesome.

I'll probably try creating a JP account as well

[NiX]

Hahah thanks so much, farmboy. I'll attempt to gather the motivation to update the blog with this new content.

That would be great! The more people the better.
We got a thread open (ACV Demoptions) and are starting a list for people who made a JP account to make it easier to find everyone.
http://mechaverse.co/forums/r/7
Use this referral link to make yourself an account on MV if your interested and post your JP ID/GT tag .
EDIT: more than one person can use this link, so if your interested, and know people who are interested, by all means, share the link with them.

If you want to find out how to make a JP account ,there are some good ones on Youtube, and thats also what I used. Typing in the characters isn't too bad, most of them are on the second page when you press the select (if you are using PS3) button; if you need more details, ask me. It will also direct you to a whole load of other AC stuff, which just makes me more jealous that I'm not japanese.

Hahah thanks so much, farmboy. I'll attempt to gather the motivation to update the blog with this new content.

C'mon NIX, you can do it!
We need more AC analogs too. GRAH All the AC forums are dead, lets get some new stuff up!

[Niji]

Just letting you guys know that I went ahead and went through all the parts in the beta and translated them here. It should make it easier to build ACs that way if you're playing a JP version of the game.

Be sure to click on the individual parts to get the full translations and if you happen to think of a better way to represent a stat in english pass it by me so I can update it.

Enjoy you guys.

EDIT: I know I've been super AFK over at ACU and here at RR too over the past 4 months, but don't worry, I didn't die. I was just taking a break from forum activity and relaxing, haha.

[farmboy28]

Good to see you back Niji!

ACV demo is out. GET IT WHILE ITS HOT
