Armored Core 6 Speculations

[Griffon]

I immediately thought of doing a 4 hit combo, honestly. There's bound to be weapons that will be made to pair with each other, and with a stagger mechanic involved, having a primer and payoff weapon (or three) sounds fun.

I agree. I was thinking about it at work, and I had this theory-crafted AC in my head for the past few years just hoping for an eventual new AC game (based on what I felt reasonable to expect based on the old games, but also acknowledging that whatever the next game had in store could throw everything out the window), but this all-weapons-active thing has certainly given me more to think about.

Also, what does everyone think the quadruped niche is going to be in this game, it certainly seems to move around, doesn't it? In the classic games it was the ability to use artillery without kneeling, in 4th gen it was their insane ground speed gave them unparalleled range control, and from what I remember in AC5 they were used a lot for their aerial hangtime. It almost seems like they're headed that way again maybe? The 2nd trailer shows a biped firing a back cannon while flying, so that's not exclusive to leg types anymore, and it shows that quad flying and entering some strange hover mode. Are they really turning quads from legs that emphasized ground movement into an aerial type?
