Once again, From Software has released a new survey questionnaire regarding their AC games. Could Fromsoft be up to something and they’re trying to get ideas for a new AC game? Maybe they’ll actually listen to fans this time around? According to some this isn’t the first time From did such a move, and speculation says that previous surveys might have resulted in AC4 and FA. After finishing the survey, players are treated to an exclusive new Armored Core: Last Raven Portable wallpaper featuring Cascade Range.
Questions 1-8 seem to ask players what titles they own and what direction should the Armored Core series should take. Questions 9-13 relate to comments on the new introduced features, while 14-17 ask for the player’s demographic. Anyway here some of the relevant questions translated after the jump.
A promo video of the upcoming sequel to the 1983 hard science mecha anime Armored Trooper Votoms is now viewable at Sunrise’s website, giving a sweet preview of what to expect in this sequel, which takes place 26 years after the end of the original series. Votoms: Gen-ei Hen will be released on March 26, 2010.
The video in question can be viewed here or in the embedded Youtube link after the jump before it gets removed:
Ladies and Gentlemen, the future is now. This is the little robot that could, and this video just shows what it is capable of. I’m willing to bet that some of you wished you have gotten this for Christmas, otherwise just watch in envy at what this little I-Sobot can do including slicing a dinosaur with a sword, and shooting various projectile weapons at different targets. Right now, I am only hoping that Santa remembers my request for one.

Last Raven Portable has been announced for the PSP platform, and if the promo video shows anything, it looks like its gonna be epic. All parts from the previous Armored Core Portable titles will be included in Last Raven Portable. Buyers of the UMD version will also be treated with a 60 page freebie booklet titled “AC Chronicle Art Works” as seen from the promo vid. Screen shots of the new parts and the official promotional video after the jump.
Someone apparently cosplayed as White Glint from AC:FA and did a short dance number. Enjoy! :D
Remember the scene in The Matrix where Neo first displays signs of being the One? I think that was one of the first few scenes in movie history that really made good use of bullet-time effects.
Fast forward a few years later, and someone’s made a tribute video. Not content to be mediocre however, it was decided that no fewer than 440 hours of work should be put in to make it. And that LEGO should be used as the building blocks of the recreation. We salute you, LegoMatrix.
As always, for more awesome Internet finds, head on over to the Project Awesome thread in the forums.
