More Armored Core 5 Details Emerge

As with the opening of Armored Core 5’s website, 1up has translated the Famitsu interview with long-time series producer Toshifumi Nabeshima and gives us a glimpse of what to expect with the next Armored Core game. The following are selected quotes from the interview which should give us a glimpse of Armored Core 5’s direction:

“I felt that with the previous game, Armored Core: For Answer, we had gone as far as we could with the ‘speed’ concept,” Nabeshima said. “Being able to present a new kind of mech hero in For Answer was a rewarding experience, but if we kept on pursuing speed, then the gameplay would start to falter in spots — most players simply wouldn’t be able to keep up with mach-5 combat. So this time we want to retain the core aspects of what makes the series interesting — and that includes speed — and also present some new concepts that diverge from the past.”
