Every time. Every dammed time I see a 5th gen I can’t help but comment on how much cooler they are than every other mecha I’ve seen. The movin parts, the inhuman proportions, the reasonable scale, the hidden utilities, the junkyard truck aesthetic. I love my dumpster cores so much.
i enjoy the sleek aesthetics of the other games but 5th gen went hard. nothing beats having the mechanical parts slamming into place with full force before locking in
supposedly they've started hiring for something armored core related, and there was something else a couple months back iirc. I think we'll get an announcement around the end of the year
There’s definitely going to be a new Armored Core something. AC6 was a huge success for FromSoft and the mechanics genre. Now if only Bandai Namco had enough sense to make a good Gundam game

A single chaff gun doesn’t compete with all the recon variants, flashbangs, PA molders, AA boosters, additional thrusters, uav, physical AP shields, relation missiles, ready weapons, Overed Equipment, and not to mention the fine tuning of individual weapons and pieces in 4th and 5th gen. I really like 6, but it feels really dumbed down in a lot of ways, and that’s before my enraged screaming about how awful the stagger system is for multiplayer. I just want my mech to feel like a dammed robot, not some dude made of metal who gets winded and has schroedingers(definitely misspelled) armor that exists until he needs to catch his breath and he absorbs bullets like an American school child.
@@malikoniousjoe yeah exactly, I just think this as AC themed soullike or something else. Still fun to play but not the fun we expected or wanted.

@@watermelongaming3698 That's the only comparison I can draw with 6 sadly because they kind of different. If you want I can tell you more. It's a bit long though. 6 have general term for those that use Coral. It's called C-Weapon. C-Weapon can be AC, MT and even glorified turret. IBIS series is part of C-Weapon. Ephemera is an AC that is C-Weapon but not an IBIS Series while HAL is an AC that is part of IBIS series and also fall under the umbrella of C-Weapon. For how C- Weapon in lore are (not gameplay). Think of it like this, say you have Rusty Steel Haze and you put on Coral generator. It will not be C-Weapon despite running coral gen. To be a C-Weapon, the parts themselves must be created to work with Coral generator in mind and created by RRI. Ephemera and HAL is an AC but also C-Weapon because their part is made to work with Coral. In 5th gen, Exusia and Lady in Vortex (LiV) is technically an AC (everything is called AC in 5th gen) that run on Kojima particle and have Primal Armor but isn't consider NEXT unlike N-WGIX/v. It's the same reason why Armsfort isn't called NEXT despite some Armsfort run on Kojima Particle and even have Primal Armor. To be a NEXT is to be an AC. Ayre SOL, HC/LC isn't NEXT because they are not AC. That's why the closest comparison is Walter HAL because it kind of fit and HAL have "Primal Armor" kind of shield lol. NEXT in simple terms, is an AC that is powered by KP generator which produced PA and made to work with it.

And then there are those of us who love both sides of From. Got into Armored Core during 3rd gen, and have been playing since Demon's Souls so far as Soulsborne is concerned. I missed AC desperately during the post VD dry spell, but it's understandable that From'd follow the money given they're a business first and foremost.
What i loved about armored core was the weapon readying and storing animations, AC4/AC4A had some cool basic ones with back weapons folding back and some cool core expanding when over boosting. AC5/AC5V had the super weapons and some legs that extended out when bracing a heavy weapon. AC6 had some awesome ass weapon reloading/cooling and core expansion when assault boosting or using your abilities(assault mode, assault armor) there are actually different stowing animations for weapons if you're NOT in combat(mission is over or mission is starting).
Why does nobody animate the walk cycles as if there's literally any mass to it. Walking involves swaying your centre mass, not just moving legs back and forth.
Which team are you?

-Mech that feel like Fighters jets
you forgot:
-Mech that is practically just A scaled-up infantryman
-Mech that is practically just A scaled-down battleship
