>>22970607Woah
new LASkino droppedhttps://bsky.app/profile/las91214.bsky.social/post/3lcit66hiws26
>>22970672>BlueskyI thought only Americans used that due to their stupid culture war. Are artists actually adopting it?
>>22970803nearly every AC artist i know and their moms seems to have either moved to it or just dual post on it and twitter
What weapons do you want from a hypothetical AC6 expansion/DLC?
>>22970859We answered this last thread, come up with new questions
>>22968404Just thinking about all the shoulder parts from past games they could simply adopt into back-mounted parts.>Anti-missile lasers>Anti-missile missiles>Flares (Seen used by the PCA in AC6)>Double booster rack that takes up both slots, balanced by surpassing quads in terms of aerial mobility, but you lose out on two weapons>Ammo booster>Energy pack for a burst of ENThe only one that you couldn't really do is the relation missile extension, because if it's on your back, it's kinda pointless. The only way you could possibly make it work as a tandem system is that they're some of the strongest missile launchers in the game, but they can only work in tandem with other back-mounted missile packs. So that way they can't be tied alongside extremely busted back-mounted cannons and such.
>>22970876Make it a one slot targeting pod that enhances all your other missiles' tracking, turn rate etc. Think of it like a laser designator. Should probably make it handheld though, since there's more missiles in the shoulder slots and Carla'a pineapples would probably become abusive wiith the boost
really wish the flamethrower wasn't so fucking big, it looks comical
>>22970803there's been migration among Japanese users too, since twitter made it impossible to opt out of their AI scraping and changed the block function to still let blocked users view your posts
>>22970903The blocking thing seems pointless since you could always just view them as guest or create a dummy account. The AI opt-out makes a lot of sense though
>>22970803Artists are usually left-leaning, I guess
>>22970982Any artist who went to a college or university is probably left-leaning because their teacher would have been a typical bleeding heart.
>>22970982I mean, have you seen what passes for "art" amongst the rightoids? It's all AI slop. They are the epitome of the idea guy with no talent to actualize their vision.
>>22971000The vast majority of artists from Japan will be considered right-wing when put into comparison against US politics. This includes art and design from properties like Armored Core, and especially mecha in general, which takes massive influence from the anime adaptation of Starship Troopers -- the book itself penned by a right-wing author.
Yamashita's work on ACVI doesn't look so bad anymore.
>>22971039he worked on AC? What did he design?
>>22970841Ayre
>>22970859How about rifles that don't suck ass? Oh wait that would require them to get rid of ricochet so lol.
>>22971228the RAN-RF and HARRIS are honestly pretty viable, they can build stagger pretty steadily on spam fire if everything hits and the projectile speed and damage for them isn't terriblethere's a few things currently holding rifles back1. the lower end of rifles (TURNER, SCUDDER, ATTACHE if you want to count it) being velocity capped at literal shotgun projectile speeds2. dumb charge attack gimmicks3. the added weight/en load/whatever from featuring the dumb charge gimmicksa plain rifle that's on the light side could easily fit within the current rifle family, fromsoft just hasn't added one yet
I just finished AC1 and started PP. Anything I need to know?Ideally I would want to unlock every part and thaen reset the game through H+ to make a safe with everything unlocked at the beginning. Is this still possible?
>>22971626Isn't charged harris actually pretty useful
>>22971666H+ is only attainable in base AC1, you need to figure out how to transfer your savefinishing the arena fights unlocks a weapon part
>>22971692So what happens if I go into crippling debt? Is there any method to reset the story like mail and missions?
>>22971721i've actually never gotten into debt playing PP, sorry...well, completing the arena should net you a good amount of money anyways.
>>22970859AC6 is kind of lacking a proper lightweight machinegun that can go BRRR without reloadingburst riflesflavor of rifles like buckshot and linear
>>22971626>RAN-RFI disagree, from my pvp experience, RF doesn't work there at all, only good for single-player. >fire rate not fast enough>range too short for kiting>damage and stagger not good enough to outdamage heavies>projectile speed not fast enough to consistently hit Lamms and other lightweight kitersThere's really no niche for it, you're better off using Etsujins, they're borderline within the same combat range. Harrier is the closest to usable rifle and can somewhat work, the issue is slow reload and small ammo clip.I do agree with all other points.>>22971669Yes but it's mostly used as alternative to shotguns/zooks, flying up close and faceblasting charged attack for fast stagger buildup by melee builds.
>>22971669it IS useful but it's also not what anon was asking for when you think of a rifle in AC, it's steady and reliable spam damage that is effective up to midrange. in AC6 the velocity problem with the ARs keeps them from hitting reliably, and the bigger rifles sorta do this but also have other mechanics as their main focus
>>22971750There's also the fact that the damage system changed from steady chip damage to one shot stagger punishers, so constant reliable firepower isn't really a thing anymore
>>22971761take a page from the gen 3 playbook and have a bazooka as your offhand instead of doing dual rifles, it's not bad as a ranged punish.
Honestly I don't even find the basic rifles useful in single player. There's no reason to use them when they're outclassed by every other bullet weapon. Shotguns deal more stagger at close range, machine guns are more useful overall, charge rifles can deal actual damage. Shit they're outclassed by the pistols. I've never really liked the basic rifles in any Armored Core but I've never found them to be outright bad until 6.
>>22971763I beat the entirety of gen 3 with dual SMGs or laser rifle + blade. Bazookas are for pussies
>>22971764those dual duckett niggas are playing a different game than rifle peoplethey can just float towards you with 2 ducketts, a huxley and a 10-cell and kickspam you to death in 8 secondstrying it out myself really showed me how much of a hard time i was giving myself, i don't know what those guys were complaining about with their nerf
>>22971767is your AC okay?
>>22971764Cheap ammo + ricochet not existing for many trash mobs means they're good for S ranking missions with lots of mooks. Also initially many weapon classes had way less ammo until they got ammo capacity buffs so rifles had that too going for them.
>>22971763good screenshot
>>22971767wouldn't it be a massive improvement to use the kisaragi micro missiles extensions rather than these? doesn't your missile launcher have enough missiles to fire about ten times and the extensions much more?
>>22971773All the best ACs are leggy>>22971785I can't remember the exact reason why I went with that setup, might have something to do with weight due to the rocket launcher specifically for the super Zinaida fight
>>22971770I never could get into using the Duckett because I fell in love with the laser pistol day one. If I played PVP at all I'd prpbably use them, but the laser pistol is consistent chip damage and shreds mooks in the campaign.>>22971775Good points.
>>22971791laser pistols just make me really want a laser machinegun of some sort
>>22971925The laser machine gun in Silent Line, I think it was, was a lot of fun.
>>22971952do you mean SILKY? i think that was a nexus gun
>>22971972I had the game wrong, the one I was think of was from 2.
>>22971978that thing is great for story, you can just BRRR away for free, now it doesn't pack a punch
>>22971748>projectile speed not fast enough to consistently hit Lamms and other lightweight kitersat this point it feels like everyone's having trouble hitting the lightweight kitersat least with the LAMMs they often aren't skilled enough to dodge missile barrages, if it's a NACHTREIHER frame with two RAN-RFs and plasma missiles i just leave to find another custom room
>>22971761why does 4th gen art and animations always make the rifles look like they fire way faster
>System Verdict: Continue... Gladly.
>>22971978oh, Zaltehook's gun.
This is a pretty cute C4-621.
>>22972150An unconventional Ayre fan design as well.
>>22972150Neat, though it looks like she's(?) wearing a paper mask>>22972153Coral Sperm Cell
>>22972153i like crayon eating ayre
Finished all the PS1 games, good fun, though PP felt a bit lacking compared to base AC1 and MoA. Now to move onto 2.
>>22972164PP is a smaller game since they had a mecha designer working on the scenario iirc
>>22972153cute :)
>>22971742> a proper lightweight machinegun that can go BRRR without reloadingit felt like CHANG-CHEN is like this but i forgot that its magazine size is like 45 and not 75-100 or something>burst riflesmaybe a few more flavors of those would be nice...>flavor of rifles like buckshot and linear>buckshothow would that work?
>>22972197>how would that work?i suppose it would just be side grade with different damage/effective range/precision/impact/etclike buckshot would just have less range, more dispersion, and more damage/impact than the average rifle, so closer to a shotgun but with a single pellet, maybe more weight/per ammo in store would be a good way to balance it out as wellin third gen it did more heat if i remember well
>>22972206ah, i guess it'd be closer to a pistol
>>22972213i guess it would have more damage and less reload speednow pistols in AC6 are on a weird spot imo
>>22970803>>22970982Didn't Twitter change their ToS to allow themselves to use images posted in it to train AI models?
>>22972226That would explain the exodus
>B-but.... it's just one AC...
>>22970859Flare, just because it would look cool.
>>22972226Huge miss to not name the AI Hustler-1. Elon also works on implanting microships into your brain making actual Human Plus. All we are lacking now is booster-technology and we will finally be there, guys.
Is there a mod to remove all the pointless fluff voice lines from Walter and Ayre during missions yet?
>>22972903>pointless>WalterI swear to god.
>>22970859those ice worm coral missiles that travel underground
>>22971775Yeah, Curtis is the best budget trash killer.
>>22972092Oh, Daemon’s gun.
>>22971952MoA had a really good energy machinegun too.
>>22972926past games had torpedo missiles, right? i've never used them myself.
>>22972959no, that's SILKY
Not to be a buzz-kill but I just watched the Secret Level Sneak Peek Trailer and I am certain the story is not going to convey the spirit of the games. Ayre in particular seems heavily flanderized by being a snarky stacy type. Seems like they put too much focus on "relatable" dialogue than telling a story that asks question partaining to our relation to technology, consciousness or evolution. I feel like this is what most western-produced media does by not being capable of moving past the hero-individual type. I know I sound like a high-faluting bitch but AC is capable of telling a story on par with Blade Runner or even 2001 A Space OdysseyI hope I am wrong but I think at best this is going to be servicable overall with good action sequences as it's main seller.
>>22973072Yes, I remember using something like that in SL.>>22973166Secret Level stuff are just glorified commercials, no reason to have any expectations from them at all.
>>22973166it's not Ayre and 621 in the episode, it's not even gen 6 universe, it's an original story
>>22973166a serviceable story would be fine as long as it respect source material, it's a one shot episode and not a film or a series, expecting a full fleshed story for such a thing is simply stupidand not-ayre is fine, it's fine having another character with another personalityso yeah you're right about what you sound like
Spoiler for secret levelApparently closer in mood to older games even if it use aesthetic closer to AC6 Keanu's character is a guy who is hated by everyone and is a terrible person..the voice isn't coral, it's an AI talking in his head, who try to gaslight him to kill more people.From Soft didn't really do anything for the work and gave full freedom to the team.
>>22973309Didn't he say something about decaying isotope?
>>22973309big if true
>>22973343I found information on a few websiteshttps://xboxera.com/2024/12/05/secret-level-season-one-review/This one features Keanu Reeves in his swearingest role yet. Lots of effin and jeffin as he plays an augmented pilot that no one likes. He’s a miserable prick who hates the world and just wants to get paid again so that he can drink himself closer to death. He’s got a classic lady robot voice in his mind that only he can hear. Is she real, is she not? Yeah she’s probably real but you’re left to wonder unless you know the lore.
>>22973388Wtf Keanu plays Iguazu?
>>22973309why is hollywood so obsessed with faces and celebs ac is all about cool mecha shooting other cool mecha
>>22973395We are all Iguazu in this board anon...>>22973400I actually like having more pilot stuff for once since many AC side stories had those. I'm still pissed about the canceled anime.But yeah this is also a full celeb thing with Keanu. Who I do like, but I wonder if he will fit AC
>>22973400It's a fucking commercial so they can sell more copies, not an art project. How can you be posting in an Armored Core thread and couldn't think of that?
so apparently the AC episode is among the ones released on the first day, the title is>Armored Core: Asset Managementwhich is fitting, anyway i don't expect much from the story but the little visuals we already have look good so i'm expecting at least to go "wow cool robot"
>>22973400Because Hollywood lives by:recognizable name/brand/series -> more money
i want these new parts so bad
>>22973413as long as it has a few cool fight scenes and a bit of mechanic porn I'm more than content
>>22973437We'll surely get them Anon. Surely.
>The runtime for the episodes averages about 13 minutes, but they range from seven to nearly 20 minutes.so, who get the 7 minutes treatment
>>22973446Concord most likely. I expect the thing to be unfinished. Placehokder mosels, no shading on some scenes, atorybboard atills for others
>>22973446I don't think it's AC But AC also isn't on the longer side>>22973458concord is fully done, it seemingly was teasing the new character of the game if the game wasn't canceled
>>22973437i want these legs, arms and core personallythe head is a bit too far on the small end though
>>22973446Oh, I expected them all to be TV standard 25 or 50 minutes, kinda disappointing, not enough to tell a proper story for most of them
>>22973540This is closer to Love Death and Robots, jsut a short anthology
mystery nigga
>>22973616>i am sorry little dafeng test pilot, i couldn't resist
>>22973616
>>22973404>canceled animeHuh?
>>22973677
>>22973691What in the goddamn. That art style is giving me serious cognitive dissonance. For some reason I can't see an AC anime being in any style other than Oshii GITS style. Just look at picrel, change the color of the skinsuit and you've already got Maeterlinck
>>22973691Interesting. Any info on why it was canceled?
Anons, moved onto AC2 after the first gen games, is upgrading the internals the priority again at the start? Not gonna lie, getting my ass beat with how different stuff feels.
>>22973841yeah it's kind of always booster>generator>weapons>legs>other partsworks for gen 3 and 3.5 too
>>22973736Unknown, though there's the original novel with the same name which did end up releasing and I assume are the same story at least.>>22973704Not even the AC1 concept art looked like this.There's also pic related from Armored Core Brave New World
and here's the main characters from the manga Armored Core: Tower City Blade
>>22973869AC1 concept art was a mix of 80's goodness and JoJo characters, not sure modern audiences could take it
>>22973875It really looked cool though. Wish they would have kept showing the pilots in these books.
>>22973869>filenameyou mean right now? i'd download it
>>22973879She's the most normal of the bunch, Now post the guy that looks like DIO or the one that looks like Vega from Street Fighter. There's even an adult version of the girl from 8th MS team
>>22973882no anon sadly I just used a picture from Reddit from a google search, where a guy did that.
>>22973884I mean, these guys are mercenaries of dubious natures, not really military people, they were bound to be oddballs. The lore descriptions shows how weird some are already.
>>22973890yeah but if this guy steps out of an AC the story loses some of its serious tone. Compare with the AC6 pilot sketches where they all look like regular people...mostly
The more I think about it, the more I realize I'm a little similar to Iguazu.God I'm a loser.
>>22973894take solace in the fact that you might get an emotionally manipulative GF one day
>>22973886well i could probably find it
>>22973897I FUCKING WISHSince i'm a bastard I think having a bastard girl would be fine. I don't deserve a good one.
>>22973884Don't forget Hustler-One who's literally just the Terminator in terms of appearance.
>>22973912I find that incredibly bizarre when we all know the fucker is just an AI.
>>22973913that's the point
>>22973913An AI can chose to look cool as fuck
>>22973913I mean, he killed MoA Raven's family and childishly taunted him for no reason. Clearly he's not the most mentally stable AI.
>>22973922>TAHGET UUH-DENTIFIED
>>22973911You mean your parents weren't married and thus you have no legitimate claim to the throne?
>>22973927No I mean that by my own standards I'm not a good person.
behold
>>22964002I prefer this design
>>22973180>>22973405If from/kadokawa didn't pay anything it's not a commercial. If I write fan fiction, it's not a commerical.
>>22974002It's almost certain they paid for this
>>22974004If they did From would be far more involved.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4U_q-fs3y0This interview implies the creators reached out to contact publishers for licensing.So it's almost certain they DIDN'T pay for it.
>>22973441>as long as it has a few cool fight scenes and a bit of mechanic porn I'm more than contentI think they got the motion of AC mech fights put through a "realism" filter down pretty good, that snippet where Keanu laser swords an MT then twirls and switches to the Haldemann on his shoulder hardpoint looked nice.
>>22974013Well then the showrunners chose fromsoft for the brand recognition, but then why AC and not ER
>>22973969I know who you are.
>>22973972Literally Bryan fury.
>>22973972The outfit and lack of eyebrows make him look more monstrous than he really is in-game.Give him some eyebrows and a proper uniform and he's solid.
>>22974149who am i?
>>22974220Sniper monkey
>>22974159Nah that outfit can stay
>>22974240why tho
>>22974002Well FROM did officially acknowledged it, so it's not really comparable to random people writing fanfictions. The only reason why they'd agree to hand over their licensed IP to someone else is for advertisement of said IP, from business perspective.
>>22974415>acknowledging it by saying "we have no involvement"
>>22974433acknowledging it by letting these westoid piggus use the armored core branding and armored core 6 art assets.
Reminder that THIS was a thing.>>22974435>use armored core 6 art assetsZero proof. Art team could've been provided screenshots and told to copy it for all we know.
>>22974433Acknowledged by saying "we allow these people to use our IP for their shit, go watch btw". >>22974440Dogshit Bloodborne comics too.
>>22974440they're still obviously armored core 6 designs, so the point stands that FROM have some part in it, even if they said they were hands off
>>22974450Who is "we"? Kadokawa letting people do stuff is different from From and From has never cared about all these tie ins.
>>22974454cope all you want
>>22974456Sorry I'm not the one making facts up when all official statements point in the opposite direction.
>>22974452Do From not have any say in who uses Armored Core IP? It's just Kadokawa?
>>22974451No the point stands that they have openly stated that they have no involvement. This is licensed fan art.
post emblemsi've been trying to get into the habit of making really simple ones for concept builds, i'll dump a fewthis one's in a sort of cavalry role so it has a knight chesspiece and "CV" for cavalry vehicle
>>22974758this is supposed to be lightning coming out of a blind eye but i don't think it turned out that good
>>22974758just a funny snake
>>22973972That looks gay as fuck
>>22974266Because it's hot
>>22974758for a bunch of my builds i made an emblem a name and a little backstorythis one is perhaps the most simple i made but it work
>>22974758
>>22974760Looks like Strider's laser cannon
>>22974782It's tradition.
>>22973972I still like this one for Michigan
>>22974920Not hot enough
>>22974920not perma-shirtless, strong-but-not-bodybuilder, square-jawed gigachad enough
>>22974222you must be mistakenit clearly says hypermonkey
>>22974920personality-wise yeah, he's the closest to how I imagine him too
>Burn the Coral, Tourist, and I will allow you to worship these thighs.
slowly, dig and twist itslowly, dig and twist itslowly, dig and twist itslowly, dig and twist it
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
>>22975109yeah, i hate it when that happens.
>>22974999nice numbers but she looks way too young and "clean" to be her. She's the chief of the dosers after all.I see Carla more like pic related
>>22974967>strong-but-not-bodybuilderFuck that. Let him be a hot muscle barge of a man.
Snail did nothing wrong.
>>22975133>t. fresh graduate from Snail's correction camp
Which vesper is the worst, Snail, Swinburne or Pater?or Wu Huahai since he defected
>>22975109why is your game blurry as fuck?
>>22974760just looked like a snail in the thumbnailit needs different colors to contrast between the lightning and the other elements, it doesn't stand out at all
Coming back to AC6 after a long break, I'm fully convinced that I never actually learned how to properly beat Allmind-Iguazu and just managed to luckshit my way through his attacks.
>>22975133idk I think abandoning Maeterlinck was kind of a dick move.
>>22975162Which attack is fucking you up? The 4 hit combo?
Does an english version exist? (not talking about the PSP versions they are different games)
>>22975147Wu Hai, traitorous rat
>>22975169The big claw wave is an issue, but in general, his hits do enough damage that I find myself preemptively popping repairs to stay above KO range.
>>22975132>MichigoonerThe fuck
>>22974999I'll get the matches
>>22975132yes, precisely, muscle barge. grand, powerful man, but well padded with balanced amounts of fat, showing smooth and honest strength of a real strongman. not a chiseled marble sculpture of a bodybuilder, rigid and showboaty.
>>22975147snail is the best, he's an asshole with ambitions but god damn he can back his ambitions up.pater is two-faced and gets torn apart by his two-faced nature, he's too nice when he should take action and ruthless when he should back off.wu huahai dies before he gets a chance to become a vesper, ambitious but rubbish. would be the worst but he's not even a vesper.swinburne is a coward bitch lol
>>22975424maeterlink is the squadron bicycle
>>22975429yeah, and when the squadron dried up and bicycle became redundant, snail sent her as cannon fodderlike, who's left at that point? freud is too autistic for sex, and snail is arquebussexual
>>22975434Is O'Keeffe still alive at that point? Should be right?
>>22975401Yes
Arquebussy
>>22975440he's either rustysexual or too depressed for sex
>>22975452Another one

>>22975576Yeah I fucked up with my clipboard since I was watching bothThe Unreal short looks good as well. Shame Epic won't do shit with the franchise outside of some Fortnite skins.
>>22975604being able to swap in/out with an arm mounted part equipped is cool, also the balam looking ACs have what look like extensions

How is RPCS3 compatibility for the gen 4 and 5 games?
>>22975969gen 4 works great mostly, gen 5 doesn't work and you need a bootleg hacked 360 emu to play them
>>22975979>>22975969i'll add that for gen4 you just need to bump up the cache for textures to avoid texture bugs and that's itwith base setting you'll just have no textures on your AC and a bunch of things
>>22975931What are you referencing?
>>22975549It looks mid
>>22975679I mean, most of the IPs are obscure garbo. Only like 3 of the IPs in this list are relevant. And the PS one is probably going to be some Astro Bot kiddy shit
is it>no lifesigns in both cockpitsor>no, lifesigns in both cockpitsor is the line purposefully ambiguous to tease the handfull of people that know AC
>>22976070the latter
>>22975969Worked pretty good for 4 and FA on my machine, barring the clown vomit texture fix causing a handful of crashes over the course of halfheartedly SS ranking FAI've only tried VD on RPCS3 and not 5 but it seems to run like unbelievable shit compared to playing 5 in a specific build of xenia, which itself doesn't run great because I want textured ACsOn that topic, am I retarded or is the ACVD-friendly xenia link in OP fucked?
>>22976063>AC, D&D, Megaman, Pacman, Playstation (this one encapsulate a lot of stuff but still), Unreal, 40kthese are household names with at least a decade of legacy, also Sifu was among the most successful indie games in the last yearshardly obscure garbo
>>22976089Most of the people who played Pacman are in retirement homes. And Unreal's audience isn't far off either
>>22976092You shut your mouth
>>22976098Okay grandpa. Tell me more stories about Murakumo
>>22976092still household names most know aboutalso New World is fairly known being amazon's MMO, Concord is the biggest video game flop ever on record, spelunky is obscure but nor garbo at least
>>22976109New World is only known for being the biggest flop before Concord
>>22976122it fell flat after a while but it wasn't that bad
>>22974758This is one of the first emblems I made. However, it was for an AC loadout I don't use anymore, so by extension I don't use this emblem anymore either.

>>22976307Genuinely didn't realize that was Keanu until I saw an article about this.
>>22976291You know, it's irony or something like that. The moon flies too close to the sun and fucking dies.
>>22976268I like the goofy face
>>22976303How I be up in the goon rig
>>22976303You can tell they skimped on the human animations
>>22976307Is the tracking HUD projectors an original thing from the animation team or is this from games? I don't think we've ever seen the inside of a core.
>>22976360It's not in game at least, maybe they got it from some concept art.
Chatty should've been the final boss of AIE.
>>22976445This, but Liberator.
>>22975576Idk man, mech combat looks surprisingly slow in that one, compared to the game. Too many cockpit shots for my liking too.
>>22976528ALLMIND will never abandon you, unlike fake anime girls
>>22976559That toaster tried to kill us.
>>22976360it's always been solid rectangle displays for everythingkeanu's whole projectors on tracks things REALLY make me think of VOTOMs though since those didn't have displays either and just used a helmet HUDi already dig it but if they were purposely referencing the anime that inspired a lot of armored core's themes that's be a huge bonus
>>22976563it was for your own good
>>22975200nope, PS2 version is JP only. I think that it should have the EN language option though.
>>22976485I dont mind the slowness, it makes it easier to follow the fight choreography. It at least seems to get the "mecha as fighter jet" philosophy of AC, something to be glad about since 99 percent of western mecha is obsessed with "mecha as a slow tank on legs" as de rigeur.
>>22975576Kenau seems on drugs but the actual fighting seems solid. "Cores" is however terrible, I believe it was chosen because it was easier to understand than "ACs" for the non-fan audience. Also this seems one of the most publicised shorts. I hope it is one of the good ones.
>>22976268>IcarusLooks more like Janus to me but pretty cool nonetheless. Minimalistic yet detailed.

https://x.com/suit_ACVI/status/1865706940652999087I found codes for SHRIEKER's emblem if anyone's trying to recreate it.
>>22971750>>22971972>>22977947It's mind boggling to me how some simple dynamic poses bump good or cool designs right into amazing territory. The stiffness of a lot of old gen animation really does disservice to a lot of designs. Now with that one and only official stand alone Armored Core cinematic coming out, I can only imagine how stuff like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj7lYZr6OFE would look with a proper budget.
>>22978117mistcrown has some nice shots too, though.
>>22978117i really like this one especially...
>>22978133damn that Karasawa looks huge in that AC's hand
>>22978165the gen 3 karasawa was one fat bitch
>>22978179this raven doesn't wash his AC often
>>22977836Do we know who was the first?
>>22978223yeah it was this guy >>22970672
>>22978279Maybe it's time to make an account...
>>22978287eh, i think most of his allmind art is on twitter anyways.
has anyone done cool stuff with the ingame screenshot filters?
>>22978422Mainly just mess with saturation for more dramatic colours.
>>22978429wow, that looks nice.
>>22978422I've mostly messed around with low exposure shots plus a few tweaks to other settings like saturation. Nothing as dramatic as your image.
>>22978448that's such a nice look at the cooldown animations for those gunswhy did you turn the lights off on your AC?
>>22978459The lights on that AC are actually quite bright, but unfortunately, they're also one of the first things to go once you start lowering Exposure.
>>22978483aaaah, i see.
>>22978422
>>22978422I like the frame focus thing.
>>22978489>>22978501this isn't a filter, isn't it just "Pillar of Light"?
>>22978490what weird hangar level is this? it looks very neat.
>>22978619Looks like the Smart cleaner's room in Grid 086.
>>22978532>Pillar of LightIt's "Pillar of Ray", as in "The Ghost of Ray Leonard".
>>22978619I think it's the elevator in the C-Spider mission.
Is Snail the best From villain?
>>22978619This >>22978623.
>>22978623Actually they're "Sea Spiders".It's just confusing because Carla says>They've got a C-weapon? Tourist, that right there's a Sea SpiderOr something like that. Poor localization I guess.
>>22978625Well, I'd say he's somewhere between Chief and Stinger.
>>22978627It makes more sense for it to be referred to as a "C-Spider" since it uses coral, and the C-suffix is for coral based weapons, right?
>>22978631It probably would make more sense, but this is From and they named them Sea spiders probably expecting someone to make a 4 hour video on the significance of that name.
>>22978622haha nice one anonthis post was approved by the GA commercial advertising department
which game was this guy from?
>>22978677None of them, probably. Going by the weapons, it'd fit only into NX and LR.
>>22978677Need NB for the BP bazooka.
I matched with a guy 3 consecutive times last night in AC6 and every single time he obliterated me, because he was running a lightweight dual pulse guns build that just shredded through me, and if I ever got lucky enough to close the gap, he had shotguns to blast in my face. I couldn’t hit the guy with my missiles or detonating bazooka because he was too fast, and even if I staggered him I couldn’t get to him quick enough to punish him with my pilebunker. How does one beat this gay ass build with a mid-weight close-midrange build? Can it be done?
>>22978713A ranks? S ranks?
>>22978629Stinger is a funny guy>keeps acting all tough just to get beaten the shit out of>gets his ass beat in the prototype Phantasma>"mmmnyo i killed him and won">fucks off>later has an edgy meltdown in your mission briefing for no reason
>>22978727he just really wanted to become one with the robot
>>22978711those arms look a lot better in-game
>>22978727My headcanon is that he's going schizo from Human Plus like Wildcat, because whatever they use for Phantasma is a derivative of that technology.
>>22978718Unranked. I suspect the guy may have been smurfing so I let him win the third time. Maybe he’ll go up in rank and I won’t have to deal with his shit anymore
>obsessed with getting even bigger resolution pics of the secret level ACs>they basically show the same level of detail as the smaller versions anywaysi think this short has me by the fucking balls, nigga
>>22978761You'll see them tomorrow
>>22978762it already is tomorrow
>>22978760If it's unranked it's probably one-trick pony, I don't think I've ever encountered that combo in PvP or leaderboards personally. If you can't catch him with pilebunk, try dropping it for more speed and just outdps his ass.
>>22977741I feel your pain.>>22978713What if you had bomb thrower instead of pilebunker? Altough changing your build for this one matchup could make you worse in others...
>>22976307If only ac6 required as much pilot input.
I like the "wings" some of the sleeker early gen cores have to hold back weapons, too bad 6 only has one with this type of design.
>>22979031the VP-40S is actually like this too, its wings are just on the smaller side.it's more or less a kawamori signature so >we won't be getting a lot of them unless he returns as a main mecha designer
Post your favorite MTs. Pictures optional but appreciated
>>22978760PVE and PVP simply don't play the same, i'm tempted to think you simply lack experience, post your build
>>22979219you posted itarriving into AC3 and seeing these for the first time really is a surprisefirst they jump around while throwing missiles, so unprecedented mobility for such a MTand when they get close they shotgun and blade you and that's where the real fun starti wish AC6 had more challenging base MTspicrel is also a pretty good design
>>22978422Only this one
>>22979219Gen 1 had some cool MT designs, would be interesting seeing these elite Chrome MTs in modern graphics.
>>22979282this is VIXEN's grandpa, isn't it?
>>22979256the armor gimmick on yours was pretty fun yeahi was kinda expecting more after that one doser mission in 6 with the modded MTs but it seemed like they were pretty much exclusive to that mission, what a letdown...

>>22979361i hadn't considered LAHIRE was a CHAOS expythe general shape seems to fit right...apparently there's a whole lot of callback parts like that in 4th gen. in picrel the arms became 063AN03 and the head became WHITE-GLINT/HEAD, and there's also the one fencing head design

When I finally learn to video edit, I'm going to put this over my challenge run's Ayre fight.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBgUXQt7pJU
I've played some of the Encore mod for AC6 and have to say I am kinda dissappointed. Some of the new parts leave gaps or clip into others and the new core has no cooling animation. New weapons also have no image in the menu. The missions also just have some extra ACs placed at random.Given how easy it is to generate voices with some samples I was hoping the modding scene would bloom. Seems like they don't realize the potential yet.
>>22979405fuck manlook if you want to study his techniques or something here's the saucehttps://x.com/ravensnest8525/status/1817183201875591616
>>22979472I already reverse searched it to do just that, but still: Thanks, Anon.

>>22979391Good eyes, anon. Spot on.
>>22979490ah no, someone else pointed most of those put to me.they also said the legs turned into DUSKAROR-LEGS but i couldn't buy it
I just had the grandest idea: An air-brush weapon that does no damage but changes the opponents colours. They stay on until you reload your preset. Instead of attacking AP or stability you attack their identity. Psychological warfare.
>>22979500NOOOOO DON'T GIVE ME THE SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG CHARACTERS PLEASE GOD
>>22979500You monster.
>>22979500>An air-brush weapon that does no damage but changes the opponents coloursdo you think people running the pride month blaster would be funny or annoying

>crossposting with tvsomehow this feel worse than v
>>22979600dubs confirm
>>22979519>Pride month blasterNevermind, this is a terrible idea.
>>22979273i can't ever get RJs to pose really nicely like thishow did you do it?
>>22979834That was in the middle of a kick, on the more early side of the animation
>>22979840oh, i wouldn't have thought of doing the earlier part of it. i always go for the end and it looks too silly since they do a double foot kick
>>22979850>sillyno u
>>22979850animations in general are a way to get diferent poses, the landing one for examplealso protip, when you hold the firing key for missiles (as if you wanted to multitarget) it stay open in position untill you fire
>>22979882you can use the landing animation to get a wider stance, right? i can't ever do it without kicking up a shitton of dust, though.
>>22979897you can see the landing animation in my chinaman.pngoverboosting can also give nice results depending on parts
>>22979918overboost + turning works really well if you can get the lighting to cooperate
>>22979519how does one actually get into building and painting their own mechs? genuinely, seems like such a huge ordeal to start
>>22979948Check out the guides on /gpg/. It's a hobby that takes a lot of time and the initial investment for painting tools is high. I'd recommend getting cheap nippers and a simple kit like any recent bandai HG to see if you enjoy the process before investing a lot of money into it
>>22979948start with the simpler $20-$30 ones that don't really need painting to look goodalso some hobby shops will help you paint your kit as a demo thingwatch ryousangata riko
>>22979957also this
>>22979957>>22979963I was thinking of just trying a decent cheap kit, as i do enjoy building things in general, the painting is really the big kicker for me. It always seems so complicated. I think im just gonna have to give it a try and see how it feels before i decide if i want to get more serious into it
>>22979985You can paint a kit with spray cans first, it'll be less expensive than getting everything for airbrushing. If you like it then you'll like airbrushing as well. There's also hand painting and spoonge painting
>>22979997dont i have thin paints and polish and all sorts of shit like that for it to look half decent?
>>22980036Spray paint is pre thinned. You can't mix colors and control pressure like with an airbrush. It's not ideal but it's a good point to start, in case you don't enjoy it then you didn't spend a lot of money. If you do enjoy painting then you can always decant spray paint cans and use the paint in an airbrush like any other paint. I did that earlier this year from a leftover can I had, saved my ass as I needed a gloss black immediately. Also don't fall for the chink cheap airbrushes, if you do decide to get everything you need for airbrushing don't cheap out on airbrush and compressor, get good ones right off the bat. A good airbrush will be your priority, the cheap ones suck dick and will stop working properly almost immediately. Anyway check out both /gpg/ here and on /toy/, the latter has less shitposting, you might get better answers to your questions there
>>22980055thank you anon. im currently a bit busy moving to a new apartment, but when im finished with that im gonna see if i can order a decent kit and just try myself. probably gonna end up looking like shit but if its fun then its all good
>secret level is dropping at 3am estwhere's the torrent dropping
>>22980080It's ok the first ones always look like shit. Which is why you should never start with the one kit you truly want to do

>>22980343pretty sure i read 8 episode including AC this week and the rest next weekalso there where specifically a trailer for AC the today's date in it
>>22980346wikipedia says 2 episodes a week for a 8 week airing time, half the episodes today and the other half next week is against what prime video usually does.
>>22980356wait i take that back, it said what i posted last week but i see now they changed it to half and half now
>>22980358I imagine they did this because the pre screening critic reviews came back completely negatively, people wouldnt stay to watch the 8 week run time,I hear each episode is just 8-15 minutes of action, no story at all
is the usual OP around? we could get a proper new thread before the episode drop
