ok just watched it, its about 10 minutes of based, thats it
There’s already a thread anon… >>22979327
>>22980513oh okaywhere did you watch it
>>22980520prime video??? be a good goy and give jeff your money, he needs another yacht
if you wanna know what the japanese think of it just put "キアヌ" on the searchbar on twitterapparently there's a tetrapod design that's not in the teasers too?
I'm not good with seiyuus, who is this guy?
>>22980547he plays donte in dee em ceepresumably he's keanu's voiceactor
>>22980554That... that fits pretty well, actually.
Wasn't bad I guess. Felt like a machinima that got a 20 million dollar budget.I liked the quad leg. Shame it didn't do much other than exist. Was surprised to see gore in an Armored Core thing, only makes considering the massive hulks of metal bristling with guns.
>>22980557i'm surprised i haven't seen screenshots of it yetis it too dark to make out any details
>>22980559Amazon is doing this funny thing where it will black out the whole page when I attempt a screenshot. I think Jeff Bezos should be hung by his testicles from the top of the world trade center
>>22980563for fuck's sake...
>>22980563agreed
>>22980563IIRC disabling hardware acceleration lets you circumvent this
>>22980559>>22980576Disabling that got it working. Lowered the video quality but at least I can show anons without the Bezos pass neat stuff now. At least until it's available for torrent.Balam has two different looking compound eye heads from the Verrill now. As far as I can tell this one is distinct for the two heavy bipeds.
>>22980592Close up on that thick ass quad. If the theorycrafters about DLC parts are correct, perhaps we'll get a dedicated heavy quad to go along with the light quad?Interesting to note, those are I think spread zooks as arm weapons.
>>22980597Wide shot with some more detail on that quad's armaments.
>>22980600Forgot to note it appears to have some interested armor addons for the arms too. Makes me think it's some hastily made Balam-Dafeng fuckery. Related to the plot, if this means anything at all, they're defending an augmentation facility. No idea if this is some further worldbuilding or random shit the creators thought would fit.
>>22980597>>22980600>>22980602>Forgot to note it appears to have some interested armor addons for the arms tooi think that was the gimmick for these RJs too,you can tell the shoulder bit is from the standard MELANDER but it has new armor plates on top of it and the forearm parts are now completely different.i like how square the new quad legs look, it's kinda ironic that the recent KRDCD mod has pretty similar-looking ones
comparison shotit's probably just an incredibly coincidence that they both have that sorta cube-looking ankle armor
>>22980646incredible coincidence*i need to go to sleep already
>>22980592It looked kinda small, so I almost thought they were just headless.
>>22980597>>22980600spread zookas as arm units is fucking nuts, but it's definitely the next logical step from double zimsgod i hope we get something like that
Episode 8 right? I see it on the bay.
>>22980753>bayAnon, your PC is compromised
>>22980777Nice trip, but don't worry. I am not worried.
Dang
Man I always thought haldeman was the balanced shotgun, then I found out about it’s disgusting punch stagger extension combo. They need to take away extensions from shotguns in the next game/expansion.
Watched the Secret Level thing, that was fucking horrible. Never let the west write anything AC again.
>>22980825What was wrong with it
>>22980868The stupid Marvel banter with Keanu and "Ayre", Keanu saying FUCK every couple of seconds, dumb story overall. Action was okay.
>>22980877That's not my Coral wife.
>>22980822>"""They""" need to take awayJust take away everything that's fun and blend everything into one (1) singular homogenous absolutely soulless moba adhd sludge for easy consumption, make it free to play but with micro transaction fueled pay to win economy, or just make it into pachinko machines instead of video games because why bother with effort when you could just print money out of nothing. Is this the world you want to live in? Is this what you want to wake up to whenever it is that you wake up?
>>22980563Understandable sentiment but I'm here for gianto robottos, not for Omer's usual shenanigans.
https://www.gematsu.com/2024/11/bandai-namco-trademarks-nightreign-in-japanARMORED CORE 6.5 NIGHTREIGNNOT A DRILL
>>22980919That doesn't make sense.
>>22980919>NIGHTREIGNSomething like this?
>>22980919From self-publishes in Japan, it wouldn't be Bamco trademarking it
>>22980919>NIGHTREIGN>NIGHTFALLHmmm...
Gotta say, pleasantly surprised with all the shorts (minus the DND one, that shit was ass). Guessing the voice in Keanu's head is some residual coral leftover from the augmentation process. Also, nothing in this show contradicts the 6th gen setting, in fact they reference it heavily (can't make obsolete augs anymore cause no coral)
Episode was kino, if a bit short. They captured the AC feeling of playing the mercenary bad guy. I hope they make full length AC animation but that's unlikely.
Hmm, American Core.
>>22980987>American Core.that's just Metal Wolf Chaos
>>22980956The Unreal Tournament one was the coolest. Better than the AC one and genuinely fun to watch. I bet the anon who made these Liandri ACs when the game came out is very happy right now.
>>22980999>Metal Wolf ChaosThat was Japamerican Core, which was far more amusing. Infinitely better, even if just for funny dialogue alone. The new short had some good action and the aesthetic direction was enjoyable but the dialogue was just meh at best to me. It feels like there's a lot words but they ultimately mean nothing, empty sounds to fill the silence, as if the music wasn't enough to serve that purpose. There's dialogue but it's just two mouths talking instead of just one. It may not be bad per se but I just find it annoying. It's such a dry american action cinema. Which I guess is exactly what it is now.
I was kinda expecting this thread to be a lot more lively. Did it suck?
>>22981038Just watch it and develop your own opinion.
>>22981040I agreed to watch it with a friend tomorrow, so I have to hold back. Just wanted to adjust expectations.
>>22981038i don't think anyone has primealso it sorta got split with a shitposter thread edition last night
>>22980753i can't see itdid it already get taken down
>>22981054It was there about an hour ago when I got it.
>>22980919>NOT A DRILL>a month-old newsWhat does anon mean by this?
>>22981058is it under a weird name...?
>>22981038I assume most people don't have prime or don't know where to torrent it
>>22981066No, just search for secret level, AC is episode 8. It's still there.
>>2298103810 minutes of okay action, nothing to discuss.
the most egregious thing about the episode was when the tulpa called keanu pilot instead of raven.
>>22980877>Marvel banterAre you legit braindead??
>>22981003>I bet the anon who made these Liandri ACs when the game came out is very happy right now.Given Epic delisted all UT games, I don't think so.
>>22981141because he's not Raven
>>22981141He is just some rando schizo
>>22981038No, it was fine. But it was just robots beating each other up for 10 minutes, nothing much to talk about.
>>22981154Anon do you know which board you're on?
>>22981147literally me
>>22981154>But it was just robots beating each other up for 10 minutesthat does sound pretty good to me...
>>22981154i'm can't believe i'm getting screenshot cucked by fucking NORMIES
just saw it, it's coolonly two faults, not having a name for the character or a different turn of phrase to avoid calling him "pilot", poor writing on that bit, and perhaps the gore end was unnecessary and not very tastefullbut these are merely nitpicks, the rest is on point
I thought it was bretty gud. The interior shots were great, also the sliding against the floor and exploding the tunnel move was cool.>>22981211I agree with this anon. The gore bit is out of character for AC, simply showing the finger pressing closer then cutting to black or back to exterior shot with a squelch sound would have sufficed. It was still an interesting way of finishing him off, even if they made the whole corny creation of adam imagery.
>>22980919Welcome to November, when everyone thought of this.
>>22981221i'll add another nitpick not using his missiles at the start of the engagement was weirdbut i suppose it doesn't come out as weird if you havn't played the gamesolid overall, i'd watch a full show like that
>>22981239The psycho has a saw-off Haldeman and use mostly sword and shield, of course he won't start the fight with missiles if he isn't forced too.
Just watched the secret level, it was alright. Nothing amazing, I didn't pop a boner or anything, it felt more like a trailer than anything substantial. The potential is there, I'd be moderately hyped for a full length series but I doubt they'll do anything else with it. Especially considering how much I'm sure this cost to produce even for just a 15 minute version. Contrary to what the anon in the other thread implied, there was definitely brand new parts though. There's no way you could look at something like Shrieker's head and say we already have that. Also why is our coral brainwife a bleeding heart cinnamon roll while Keanu's is a teasing murder mommy?
>>22981239missiles cost money. Blade doesn't. He's profitmaxxing
>>22981259>spoilershe's a teasing bitch at times but most of the time it feel more like she's tard wrangling him, especially with the "they're your people" part, she don't feel like a murder mommy to me
>>22981259>>22981277SPOILERS:I figured that the implication was that she's not "real", just his schizo delusion. He developed her as a way to cope, he literally says "I don't want to be alone" and she appears. She's basically his self-reflection, telling him to not be alone, to get out more, to make friends, but his asshole "main" personality rejects it. When he sees the aug pilot, she's trying to convince him to change and join them, but when he rejects the notion and fully embraces his loner nature suddenly she's okay with it and adopts his "self-centered viewpoint
>>22981285eh, i think she's a full blown AC6 style tulpa as she as awareness he doesn't have, like the status of the guy at the bar or the incoming call
>>22981289That incoming call feels like it isn't real at all. It makes no sense how she (or he) could know about an incoming call 2 seconds before they receive it.
>>22981038I liked the visuals and core designs but I wish it was longer and gave a slight explanation, bar scene was completely unnecessary, and I feel like it should've been replaced with corporate infighting, or sabotage, or even an explaining the mission to big wholesome reddit keanu. But yes its just >>22981154 with an ending that makes you going "i guess"
>>22981294well depending on the communication protocol and the level of hardware access she have it's not out of possibilities
>>22981289>>22981294I assumed it was how his enhanced senses manifested. She gives him tactical advice which is all stuff he should now. As for the phone thing, you know how old phones used to cause interference in speakers a couple seconds before a call came in? Maybe he's picking up on something similar
>>22981285I agree with >>22981289 considering she was actively trying to wake him up when he lost consciousness. She doesn't seem fake.
>>22980877>Keanu saying FUCK every couple of secondsThat bothered me too.>cool action sequence>"FUCKFUCKFUCK" in the background ruining itc'mon man
>>22980877>dumb story overallWhat did you expect from a ten minutes long commercial?
>>22981302Your own body tries to wake you up when you're losing consciousness. You ever start nodding from lack of sleep? But you also pick yourself back up constantly
New AC6 package added to steamDB DLC or at the very least some new purchaseable thing is confirmed
>>22981307Yeah except I don't have a voice in my head screaming at me to wake up and that it needs me. Come on man.
>>22981310Hope it's the Secret Level parts.
>>22981311you're also not schizophrenic due to aggresive brain surgery. I hope.
>>22981313Hopefully Secret Level parts + a couple more missions. Good missions like Ace Combat 7's DLC ones.
does SHRIEKER have an overboost animation?
>>22981318sexo
>>22981318don't think so. At one point he engages OB but all we get is a close up of the engines flaring
>>22981321man...OB/AB feels like something most fan designs skimp out on when it's really important
>Mine specs and hard inference say hangar space for six total>mine specs>mineso a bunch of people repurposed a mine into a base of operations with a lab to augment people and have enough resources to have a full squad of pilots with Balam parts, not cheap like branch that give you RaD parts, not poor like RLF that get BAWS partshow cool is that
>>22981338worth noting that BAWS and RaD only operate on Rubicon, so presumably BALAM is the cheapo brand in the wider galaxy
>>22981343incorrect. RAD parts see use outside of Rubicon. Either the RAD reproduces a commonly used mod for the basic LOADER components that are used galaxy-wide or they are allowed to export and Rubicon is actually still a nonzero player economically speaking. I've seen no evidence that BAWS is used outside of Rubicon though and they received a lot of business from Balam and Arquebus who couldn't import a ton of stuff in so they bought MTs from BAWS.
>>22981348isnt there a BAWS generator that was designed with off-planet export use in mind?
>>22981348>>22981349The planet is closed. There is a planetary quarantine enforced by automated interstellar laser cannons. Nobody enters, nobody leaves. Exporting and importing parts is completely out of the question. The corpos and random mercs only managed to sneak in due to the opening Raven created. Any parts description talking about exports are probably pre-fires
>>22981343i cope with balam's performance in 6's story by thinking they kept most of their top spec stuff off-world and away from their penal squads...
>>22981349maybe, I don't really care as much about BAWS so I don't autistically remember all their lore. This would seem to support my claim though that economic exports of military equipment from Rubicon do exist, which answers the original question. Rubicon is home to some notable military manufacturers, if they aren't renowned for their quality most likely. This is also an in-lore reason for there being so few parts in the AC6 game as imports are probably severely limited or difficult to do, so your Nachtreiher frame is significantly more Gucci on Rubicon than anywhere else most likely
>>22981343>>22981348It's worth noting the MELANDER arms basically confirm Balam parts are the cheap off-world option.>Medium-weight arm parts developed by Balam. The simple design and solid performance of this model make it suited for mass production—reflecting Balam's strategy of overwhelming its enemies with its material superiority.
I forgot my amazon password, is the episode available elsewhere already?Also how is the JP dub?
then how do random non corpo mercs have parts from outside of Rubicon? It's likely there is a very strict way in and out of Rubicon and the PCA keeps track of it
>>22981353There's no way this is true. Coral is far too important of a resource for them to have not gone all in. Sorry anon, they just can't compete with Arquebus. It's the same story as classic AC games where the Crest analog can never completely compete with the Mirage one.
>>22981361it's on the high seas
>>22981362they came in the same way you did, in a drop pod with a fully assembled AC
It's on Burningseries (bs.to) in good quality and in English, too. No idea if you can access the site though. In Germany you have to change your DNS-server first, or else it won't load the site.
>>22981364I thought Almond pulled the strings to ensure everything is arquebussin'.
>>22981376Just get a prime movie subscription and then cancel it after watching and get a refund, that's what I did. Didn't cost me a penny.
>>22981376>Durch die Zensur deutscher Internetanbieteri'm not even in germany you stupid motherfuckers
>>22981379What? No, Allmind never wanted Arquebus on top. Allmind just wanted the Coral to be collected, it didn't matter who did it. That's why she stayed on the sidelines and didn't move against anyone until that had been achieved.
>>22981385Just do this: >>22981380
>>22981382kek
I honestly liked the episode. To just list the good and bad in my opinion:Good>it was actually about mecha action for most of the time>said mecha action tried to adapt the series to it's best: ACs are fast, nimble machines with various equipment that zigzag on the battlefield and can engage treats at different ranges given equipment. +1 for environmental kill, which shows the protagonist is a better pilot because he can use all resorces at his disposal at the fullest. >continuing from the previous point, they try to show that piloting it isn't actual magic but it's a combination of moving sticks, rotating them, inputting combo of buttons... Kneau seemed the Jegan pilot from Unicorn in some scenes. >I think that the tropes they used were used tastefully, thing like "turning off the engines for surprise attack" or "pilot screams while attacking for dramatic effect"..>cockpit was well thought, +1 to not make everything an hologram. The eye-projector is a cool idea. I guess there is a general inspiration from 5th gen in terms of how to get in there.>there isn't that much of a story, but it's serviceable. Good use of lore snippets from 6th gen to make a background for all the action. >I personally didn't disliked the bar scene. Sets the atmosphere and give some breathing space for introducing the setting and it's a good enough rappresentation of the daily life as an aug (possibly corporative) in bumfuck nowhere, stuck in a shitty company town. >the cockroack scene is maybe a callback to Last Raven, but it's most probably a parallelism to how he is the last of his kind, still surving despite everything just like teh cockroach survives getting stomped.
>>22981259It's very funny to me how Ayre is more demure and supportive on the surface, but has an agenda of her own and won't hesitate to square up with you if you decide to burn the coral. Meanwhile Keanu's tulpa waifu is more teasing and bitchy but all it amounts to is:>uhhhhh you should make friends maybe>no *smushes lobotomite*>ok nevermind killing people is cool too, this right here why you're the best boss
>>22981386Allmind explicitly states in her reports that she plans to have Arquebus win the war.
>>22981403>has an agenda of her own and won't hesitate to square up with you if you decide to GENOCIDE HER ENTIRE SPECIESFTFY, idiot.
>>22981404ALLMIND also doesn't even know how to use pie charts and likely just claimed whatever happened was her plan all along
>>22981404And yet we never once see her lift a finger to help Arquebus and impede Balam. Curious!
>>22981406that's obviously what I meant retard, you're not "fixing" anything for me you just mildly changed my phrasing
>>22981410Because she did it behind the scenes. ALLMIND likely had a hand in Arquebus being able to capture the PCA fleet, which proved to be the deciding factor in its victory over Balam.
>>22981413My point is her reaction is justified you stupid pavement ape. It wasn't an "agenda", she thought you were on the same side and then you suddenly decided to murder everything on the fucking planet.
>>22981403it's fucking amazing to me that retards still say Ayre has some secret sinister agenda when she is nothing but earnest with you the entire time. She "squares up" to you when you threaten to genocide her species, and while she is "squaring up" she pleads with you the entire time to change your mind so you can be together again and figure out something. If I didn't already know you were all touchless virgins I'd think everyone is projecting manipulating Ex onto Ayre as an act of mass hysteriathat being said the coral waveform that Raven Chungus has is definitely more malicious and I wouldn't entirely trust her, although she does seem to work well with her host
>>22981396Bad>the swearing could be annoying to someone>gore at the end was unnecessary>smoke effect wasn't that good, it spreaded a bit too fast (?)>could have been longer maybeAll in all I think we got it good. Despite coming from the bowels of Amazon they manage to snuck some love for the series and the genre in this short. I doubt that this will make Armored Core that much more mainstream since this isn't our Arcane but it's honestly good all around as a short. >>22981403it's kinda implied that she isn't real, more of a delusion created by the agumentation. The data she relies could well be things he knows thanks to the aug and then he deludes himself to have a tupla that tells him everything.
>>22981417>>22981418holy ESL batman
>>22981416>ALLMIND likely had a hand in Arquebus being able to capture the PCA fleet, which proved to be the deciding factor in its victory over Balam.Except Michigan willingly let them have the fucking fleet. He states that point blank. Balam signed their own death warrant and all they got in exchange was Michigan leading the charge on the ice worm. Allmind didn't do shit to help Arquebus, Balam was just retarded.
>>22981420You're retarded. The point is Ayre didn't suddenly fucking turn coat on you, you just turned out to be a monster so she had to put you down to save the entire planet. Shit dude the Fires of Raven ending even calls you a monster. I think you're the ESL here.
>>22981420kill yourself nigger monkey. You won't even see the gates of hyperborea with your T50 having ass. You pilot a starter AC and aren't even ranked. Never speak in my direction again
>>22981421No, you idiot, Balam didn't literally give Arquebus a fucking fleet. Arquebus attacked the PCA fleet while Balam was leading the operation against the ice Worm. Michigan figured Arquebus would have a hard time against the PCA fleet, he didn't expect them to capture the fleet intact.
>>22981426Play the fucking game again. There's literally a cutscene where Michigan states he let Arquebus have the heavy warship fleet in exchange for leading the ice worm mission. I'm done arguing with you.
>>22981428YOU are fucking retarded. Why the fuck would Balam be in possession of A FUCKING PCA FLEET? When Michigan said he "let them have the fleet" he didn't literally mean he let them have the fleet, it was a JOINT OPERATION against PCA supremacy on the planet. He let Arquebus have the operation to attack the PCA fleet in exchange for leading the attack on the Ice Worm! Are you fucking stupid? You're one of those retards who thinks Flatwell is literally Rusty's Uncle too, aren't you, you stupid fucking faggot.
>anons leave the gooner thread>main thread turns into a drunken barfighti hate gooner gavens
>>22981428this anon is correct. Michigan gives away the fleet to Arquebus to handle so he can lead the way on the Ice Worm. I guess he didn't think that Arch would take over the fleet but he threw it away for bragging rights basically. Although maybe he was just hyper focused on getting to the source of the coral first since Balam was behind on the search before this. Michigan was trying to win the battle not the war>>22981419that's an interesting theory that he is just a schizoid which is how they portray him in the episode, but I think you are just thinking to hard. It's obviously just a coral waveform since the whole thing is aping off of AC6 implicitly
>>22981382I know this is super autistic and irrational because they're just cute, silly, harmless drawings but I fucking hate how people depict Ayre, and Allmind as cute anime booba waifus. It really undercuts the cold serious sci-fi tones that AC is going for most of the time and makes me feel like I share the audience with retards that don't get the vibe and view it the same as all their other tasteless weeby anime bullshit. I understand it's just fan art but it gets under my skin whenever I see it.
Snail's arquebussy.
>>22981418>that being said the coral waveform that Raven Chungus has is definitely more malicious and I wouldn't entirely trust her, although she does seem to work well with her hostJudging by her and Father Dolmayan's Coral wife, Coral much like humanity seems to be a mixed bag. We have:>Ayre, friendly and has a bleeding heart for other Coral and all of Rubicon. Also cares deeply for 621.>Seria, cold towards her own species and only wants Coral release above all else. Her indifference to her own kind was so jarring it completely scared Dolmayan away.>Keanu's wife, acts like a cold bitch but seems to use this to mask the fact that she desperately needs him. Not enough info on her to glean further however.It's worth noting also that they're all female presenting. I wonder if all Coral is as such, as we haven't seen a "male" Coral waveform.
>>22981437don't care, allmind is fucking cute
>>22981428>>22981432MFW my post sparks a conversation which makes two Anon's go at each other.
>>22981437I get what you are saying autist-kun but the reality of the situation is that everyone forgot what attractive humans look like and anime waifus are at least hot and an attractive ideal, if an artistic take on them, and I don't really care how gritty things are outside of the giant robots, I still want the people inside them to be Chads and Stacys, therefore they are anime characters. It's a symptom of the time don't worry so much about it. It's all for fun anyways
>>22981437I mean we know from the STV sketches that Chartreuse dresses like a fucking slut and that Maeterlinck has a huge ass.
>>22981437>I fucking hate how people depict Ayre, and Allmind as cute anime booba waifus. It really undercuts the cold serious sci-fi tones that AC is going for most of the timeFor Allmind I can see your point, but Ayre? No way. She's anything but cold. In fact she's the warmest entity we've ever seen in AC. She wants nothing more than to live and save her world and be with you. Shit dude in the explore Xylem mission she asks you to take your time since you two don't get to go on missions without Walter often. People call her a "waifu" but that's almost never as on-the-nose as it is here. Ayre, as written, is literally a waifu. It makes sense people would draw her with a human form to compliment that. Allmind though? Yeah nah she's fucking insane.
>>22981416that was more due to BALAM being retards and wanting glory instead
>>22981452>Chartreuse dresses like a fucking slutWhere exactly did you get that from? I don't recall that sketch.
Guys guys, we're all on the same team here. When I said Ayre has an agenda of her own I mean that as a compliment. Our wife is infinitely more fleshed out and better written than any Western girlboss whore.
>>22981455
>>22981436>that's an interesting theory that he is just a schizoid which is how they portray him in the episode, but I think you are just thinking to hardI persoanlly think one should approach works like these more "casually", as in they aren't lore orthodox. possibly From said "ok do an episode on AC, we are publishing ACVI now" and used ACVI as a guidepoint for atmosphere, designs and concepts. The voice in the head is of course taken from ACVI as the "unstable isotope" but it's a vague thing which is understandable enough for who doesn't know the series and it's familiar enough for who knows the series. So I rest with my idea of him being delusional and the voice being more of a "rationalisation" of the effects of the agumentation, which probably inputs in the cosciousness combat data but maybe also try to steer their behaviour (eg he should try to stay with others as this is good for him: could be both seen as a sincere enouragement for socialising or a rationalistation of an augmentation that tries to steer him towards sociability because it's better for his mental state and thus makes him a better weapon).
>>22981459Huh, I never noticed the skimpy bodysuit. Always thought she was just wearing a regular shirt and jeans. Welp.
>>22981460Anon people have already pointed out she must be real because she literally was able to tell him he was about to get a phone call and attempt to communicate with him when he was out cold.
>>22981444it definitely adds more depth to coral waveforms which is neato. Some anons awhile ago were talking about the nature of coral is that to automatically try it's best to interface with whatever it's interacting with. It's said to be used in a lot of technology and medical stuff, and obviously it's very useful in weapons. It's likely that the waveforms mend themselves to whatever is most agreeable to their host, so for a man it would be a woman who calls them studmuffin. Its likely that for a woman host it would be a man's voice. Also equally as likely though is that they are all just female. Another alternative is that for each waveform in question once it has interfaced with something, that is its definitive form going forward so perhaps if Ayre left us for a female pilot for whatever reasons, it would still be Ayre talking. Seeing as Ayre does "leave" 621 to pilot the Ibis at the end of one route this could be the case. Idk, to many variables and to little data to work off of. Regardless of it all I like the idea of a lady who lives in my head helping me out
>>22981463could be the augs percieving the coming call
>>22981464It's worth noting as well that not all coral waves seem to be sentient. Ayre is designated as a C-pulse wave "mutation". It may be a somewhat common mutation given it's happened multiple times, but still. All Coral is seemingly alive, but it looks like most of it acts on instinct alone. Still, the potential for it to mutate and "wake up" is always there presumably. That may be going hand-in-hand with the "potential of coral and humanity" thing Ayre constantly talks about.
>>22981459Is this an edit? How come I never noticed this?
>>22981437Yeah, it irks me too.
>>22981466There's no basis for that whatsoever. Meanwhile we do have basis for Coral waveforms being able to communicate with technology because that's how Ayre helps 621 constantly.
>>22981459>backless one piece with ass for days>see-through jacket>pant leg ripped off to better show off her thighsholy FUARK I hope Raven and King tag-teamed that while handler-chan watched
>>22981468it could also be likely that coral more or less lives in its own world within the coral itself. While you've got waveforms like Ayre, you may also have the equivalent to a coral dog or coral squirrel in the overall coral tide. Hell you could be shooting coral birds at people when you fire the coral missile. I don't think it's as simple to be this literal, but you understand what I mean. There could be less complicated forms of "life" held within the medium that is coral
>>22981464>Seeing as Ayre does "leave" 621 to pilot the Ibis at the end of one route this could be the case.She doesn't, that's shown by the fact she still talks to us while doing so. When we show up she even comments that she knows we can still hear the voices of the Coral. I don't think she CAN leave us, actually. Unlike Dolmayan who had to get high to talk to Seria, Ayre seems bound to our augs. Or at the very least our augs are constantly "tuned" to whatever frequency she operates on giving us an open link. She can give us the cold shoulder, but I think that's about it. Remember that she pilots Echo to help us in the Allmind ending as well, that's no different than when she pilots the Ibis craft against us. While doing so she's definitely still connected to us as well, given when Iguazu has his meltie she comments she's lost synch. Her AC goes dark and we can't hear her for a bit.
>>22981472The basis is he literally sticks headphone jacks into his spine to pilot. Dude probably has a wi-fi antenna for a prostate, his augs could prpbably pick up radio signals
>>22981480Anon you can theorize all you like but fact is the most obvious explanation is usually the correct one and the most obvious explanation is she's another C-Pulse wave mutation.
>>22981475>while handler-chan watchedwoman post detected
>>22981472621 has a video/audio interface in his head even when he's not plugged into his AC which is seen when he's in the sewers following his capture by Arquebus.
>>22981478There's also the question of how much coral is Ayre. When she pilots a Coral-powered AC, is she burning bits of herself? Or is she burning a coral storage? If she touches a mass of coral, does that mass become Ayre?
>>22981470You just never looked too closely at the drawing because without looking at the details she looks like she's wearing a conservative jacket + pants combo. I didn't notice either until I saw this fanart: >>22981452
>>22981488Echo and presumably the Ibis craft both run on Coral generators, so it's safe to assume Ayre isn't burning herself to pilot them at the very least. She's likely just commanding the non-sentient Coral within them to do her bidding to puppeteer it, that'd make the most sense given her comment "I'm losing synch" taking her out of combat altogether. She even comments in the Echo test arena that she will be "effectively" piloting it, rather than actually piloting it. This is also loosely supported by the description of the NB-REDSHIFT rifle:>Experimental weapon developed long ago by the Rubicon Research Institute. Manipulates Coral swarm intelligence using energy to produce chain explosions. Charging the weapon increases the number of these explosions.That line, "Manipulates Coral swarm intelligence" seems to imply this is how most Coral weapons technology functions. Non-sentient Coral can seemingly be commanded to do whatever you like with the right tech. This being from producing insane amounts of power to blowing things the fuck up to augmenting human abilities. She's likely just using the tech at that point as an extension of herself.
>>22981488>numeralsHeh.Good questions. Biomass consumes biomass. Biomass has produces inorganic mechanisms that consume biomass. How do you apply that same pattern to indistinguishable glowing particle primordial soup that is Coral?>>22981500So Coral machinery basically runs on Tang but it's fine since it's not people. Most of it at least. Maybe.
>>22981486Okay? And? That still doesn't mean he knows a phone call is coming before he actually gets one.
>>22981510>So Coral machinery basically runs on Tang but it's fine since it's not people. Most of it at least. Maybe.Eh I'm not sure I'd go that far. For example when you fuck up the spider, Ayre is clearly horrified that it was using Coral as fuel. That said she apparently has no qualms later in the story when she needs to use a C weapon to fight you or aid you. There seems to be a "line", where Coral tech is okay when the ends justify the means. In those two scenarios for example, she's using them solely to save the rest of the Coral. Needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, etc. I'd still imagine she doesn't like it as it is using her "family" as fuel, sentient or not they are alive.
How many cavities does the Keanu pilot even have, jesus his teeth are AWFUL. he doesn't take care of himself at all.make sense considering his mind though.>>22981211doesn't his AC has a name? Like, shrieker or something like that? unless I misheard. He talks about it when he's about to enter his AC.>>22981259>>22981313I wouldn't say the parts being added in AC6 is a given considering how ALL the mini films uses brand new assets. These could be created for this short only. I'm not even sure if any Japanese are credited in the credit. Tell me if I'm wrong though.
>>22981410>sends muderbots against a RedGun member>"we never once see her lift a finger to help Arquebus and impede Balam"
So, is Walt"s "Handler" thing a title, or he's actually just named Handler?
>>22981526She sends those after Iguazu because he was another possible candidate for the plan, alongside you. It was a "two birds one stone" scenario dummy.
>>22981528yes
>>22981528It's his nickname, much like "Cinder" Carla
>>22981528Handler is both his title and occupation. He's a handler for mercs, which means he sets up jobs for them and handles all the backend shit that comes along with their work. Think of him like a talent agent I'm that regard. It's for sure that he's not the only handler in the universe, but he's so notorious in the Rubicon system as one that it literally became his title as well.
>>22981529He is still part of Balam. Don't move the goalpost.
>>22981537wasn't he already AWOL at that point?
>>22981537Anon the game literally tells you he was part of Allmind's candidates, giving it cause to attack him. This isn't goalpost moving, this is you not paying attention. Name another example of Allmind directly interfering with Balam and I'll admit you were right. Going after a low ranking Red Gun while he was on a mission not even directed by Balam as evidence Allmind was working against Balam is weak at best, especially since we already knew he was a target from Allmind due to being another gen 4.
So is the real Iguazu the one piloting in the final boss with ALLMIND, or is it a memory clone using data from his ACs?
>>22981545The latter, sort of. Allmind kills you and creates a digitized version of your mind to fuse with itself.
>>22981549So when did the real Iguazu died, against Raven after fighting the drones or in the three way fight with Snail?
Keanu's character should be named COCKROACH
>>22981558Why?
>>22981553Either he died alongside Snail, or he survived and allowed Allmind to kill him willingly afterwards. We don't know for sure, but he says he became part of it on purpose which supports the second option.
>>22981560It fit him well. always alone, refuse to die, everyone hates him, and there's the scene in the snow.
>>22981562Thpught he got rekked before the Snail fight, since he is using Almond parts by then and also says you killed him not just once.
>>22981524>ALL the mini films uses brand new assetswrong
>>22981569Anon just because there's a melander doesn't mean the asset is lifted from the game and not a recreation of the design.The unreal tournament use some design from the 2016 game but it's not the same 3D assets.
>>22981519>I'd still imagine she doesn't like it as it is using her "family" as fuel, sentient or not they are alive.How different conceptually could it be from humans consuming other lifeforms for sustenance, burning them as fuel or even constructing tools out of them? I'd imagine it'd be something similar. Maybe.
>>22981568Entirely possible, we just don't know for sure. All we know is they weren't "one" until the very end. It's possible Allmind made him a separate AI at that point. Also possible he was just waxing poetic and he was being groomed by Allmind at that point though.
>>22981580Conceptually it'd be like if you used coma patients as a source of fuel to power a fighter jet. Sure they aren't currently aware/sentient, but they could be some day and you still ended a life of your own species to power a war machine. Presumably many actually, as Coral seems to be microbial. Like if you shoved 10,000 coma patients into a jet engine to save the entire world.
>>22981385I was gonna post some direct links to voe, but decided against it. Sorry, Anon. 4chan wouldn't let me use my goto VPN and I don't feel like picking a fight with the PCA. Don't want them breathing down my neck.
>>22981569>>22981574The short has new assets like AC6 doesn't have input reading.Sure it's actually a frame 1 animation read but it's de facto an input read
>>22981580>>22981596>C-Weapons are just the AC equivalent of the trolley problemlol
>>22981569Cool now shows me which ingame head part is Shrieker's. Fucking moron.
>NACHTREIHER is German for "Night Heron">Never seen one before, look it up>Same exact posture as the NACHTREIHER frameOkay that's cool and soulful.
>>22981649wouldn't the trademark be from fromsoft if it was AC? bandai namco doesn't own AC at all. They just distribute it in the west.
>>22981649"reihern" also means to throw up/puke. Not that it has anything to do with this.
>>22981654What does this have to do with my funny bird?
I think the Normals from AC4 look pretty cool. Minus the Omer one, that one is kinda ugly.
>No coral drone>No pulse drone>No coral shotgun>No coral cannon>No light wave weapons aside from MOONLIGHT and the AURORA and the AURORA is a shitty gimmick weapon at fucking best>No napalm missiles>No stun missiles>No HEAT MGs>No laser MGs>No multi-barrel kinetic MG/gatling gun like the FINGER/XCG-B050>No laser/plasma whip>No power drill>No kinetic blade>No AALIYAH lookalike/inspired midweight parts made by SchneiderWe'd better get DLC for AC6 because there's a lot of shit I want to see this gen. If I get even 1/4 of this list I'll be satisfied.
>>22980506why does Keanu mention Jesus?
>>22981747Because presumably AC6 takes place in a dystopian future of our own world.
>>22981749if AC6 takes place in our world at all it has to be impossible far into the future where humanity has colonized other star systems, it doesn't really make sense that the colloquial use of that word would persist through the ages
>>22981757AC6 outright mentions some past conflict called "the Jupiter wars".
Watched the thing, I can't get over them saying "cores" instead of AC.
>>22981737>laser/plasma whipHmmr>No kinetic bladeChainsaw
>>22981771>>laser/plasma whip>HmmrNo. That thing is a fucking yo-yo. At best you could call it a flail, it certainly isn't a whip. The thing Allmind's mechs swing around, now that's a proper whip.>>No kinetic blade>ChainsawA chainsaw is not a sword.
So what's this I hear about a new Steam file being added
>>22981774Congratulations, you know as much as the rest of us do.
chance we get shrieker in game?
>Forged in ash, we stand as oneWait, does this mean the story takes place on Rubicon?
>>22981777Decent. Even if the parts weren't made by FROM, there's a solid chance they make parts in the DLC that resemble them. If you mean the ACTUAL Shrieker as an opposing/allied pilot, also decent. I could see them tossing him into the game as a random arena opponent as an Easter egg at the very least.>>22981779Yes? He has a coral brain wife anon and the planet he's on is a frozen shithole. It's definitely Rubicon.
>>22981737Man, i wish we got something like a kinetic hammer that doesnt deal a lot of damage, but a lot of acs strain,
>>22981779Huh, guess it's at least in the same universe then.
>>22981783The coral voice lady, mentioned of dated augmentation surgery, and AC6 parts didn't already clue you in on that?
>>22981781Augmented humans are all over the galaxy, and most planets in the galaxy are probably frozen shitholes. Doesn't mean much
>>22981782I mean that would be cool, but functionally that's just boost kicking.
>>22981785Nope
>>22981787The coral tulpa is definitely a Rubicon unique phenomenon, anon.
>>22981781>I could see them tossing him into the game as a random arena opponent as an Easter egg at the very leastwe're now 100% sure it's on rubicon at least, and that keanu's character is at the very least rubicon born if not RLF affiliatednow shrieker is probably with schneider parts looking at the core, and you don't see RLF guys with these, only baws and elcano, except rokumonsen because he's also affiliated with smallmind
>>22981747probably just an exclamation you shouldn't think too deeply about
>>22981794>now shrieker is probably with schneider parts looking at the core, and you don't see RLF guys with theseWAIT.>When the RLF said "deploy the Schneider AC" they weren't talking about someone else piloting OG Steel Haze, they were talking about ShriekerCall it a tinfoil hat theory, because well, it is. But it'd be cool.
>>22981798>Steel Haze Ortus was based on a prototype Shrieker rather than a NACHTREIHER frameThat'd be the mother of all crazy reveals but yeah it'd be cool.
>>22981794>>22981781or shrieker parts are elcano made with data stolen by rusty>>22981798that work toonow, the new parts being canon would mean liberator is the canon ending and these event happen during or slightly after AC6
>>22981773i don't think you know what blades mean in the context of AC if you're using it like thattell me what a parry blade is
>>22981805Parry blades are just pile bunkers, you clearly know what I'm asking for. Arm mounted physical blade. Not a fucking saw, just a fucking metal blade that deploys when you press the button and slashes rather than a laser one. Not a bunker either obviously as that's a stake and it stabs. Don't get autistic on me bro we don't gotta stoop to that level here.
>>22981737AALIYAH is a medium frame that has good ground speed, right? i feel like it's the natural conclusion if from lets schneider make a medium design
>>22981804I'm of the mind that if this canon ever is continued, they basically have to make the liberator ending the canon one. Fires eliminates Coral from all future entries (unless burning it all didn't work for the fucking second time which would be dumb as hell) and cast the die is so obscure we don't even know what it's implying happened so I think they wouldn't touch that one.
>>22981810Yeah, the AALIYAH was a midweight frame on the lighter side with high mobility and equally high drain to balance it. Aesthetically, it was inspired by Formula One race cars. It'd 100% be a Schneider design here if they were forced to make a midweight design and stop trying to make everything into fighter jets. For what it's worth, the LAHIRE which was designed off the AALIYAH concept was based aesthetically on a fighter jet funny enough so that'd kinda come full circle if we got a successor to the two here.
>french dub of the episode uses "AC" instead of "Core"basado, why the fuck did the english dub do this
Sp what was the "hidden meaning" or "alternative spelling" for Shrieker? I don't think it came up
>>22981821They assumed that the average American viewer would hear AC and then make a twitter post asking why the computer warns him about Air Conditioners
>>22981821Whoever wrote the English script probably barely touched AC games, if at all, and thought abbreviating them as "Cores" sounded cooler than "ACs". Just an out of touch retard I suppose.
>Boba Fett and the son of Schwarzenegger played in the AC short>also Steve Blum played two guys>The voice in Keanu's head is actually Ayre's VAWHAT
>>22981828>>22981821that explain it, they thought americans where too dumbit's 100% this
>>22981821>>22981828>>22981832>WHAT THE FUCK DOES THIS ROBOT SHORT WITH THE CYBERPUNK MEME GUY HAVE TO DO WITH ANIMAL CROSSING?!?!?
>>22981821vive la france
>>22981831Wouldn't read too much into the Ayre VA thing.
>>22981829well the english script IS the original one, Peter Watts and "JT petty" wrote it, director also is american. it wasn't written in japan. So it means more that the localizers and translators did their job by looking into the lore of the games more.
>>22981840>Checking gallery>Find this pic titled "Anjou">Forget to delete it>Suddenly relevant
>>22981831>All the coral tulpa brain waifus sound the sameThat shit could get real creepy and real confusing real quick had Seria or another one actually made an appearance. Jokes aside though I'm sure they just picked her because she knocked voicing Ayre out of the park. If the JP voice is the same VA though, then this might be time to invest in some tinfoil.
>>22981844Even if they do match, it might be just a nod to all tulpas sounding similar, I don't think it's meant to be the same character or anything like that
>>22981842Localizers/translators also might just have played the games before working on it, while those yahoos haven't. Even so, they really should have done the bare minimum research. Personally I didn't feel alienated by it, but it was weird to change the terminology.
>>22981843it's not Anjour, slightly different, but not quite unrelatedit's also the coat of arms of a duchy that ceased to exist about five centuries ago
>>22981845Oh it 100% isn't Ayre either way. Like I joked at the start of my post, at most this would mean that not only are all the sentient coral waves female presenting, but they have the exact same voice. It'd be quite creepy if true, but jury is still out on that one and I sincerely doubt it. Like I said they probably just picked her because she did a good job on the game and wanted to get involved again.

>>22981854Everyone knows hover pilots are sluts. No exceptions.
>>22981821Dont know why people are surprised.
>>22981859By female presenting I just mean they sound female. Coral doesn't seem to reproduce sexually so they likely don't have genders.

>>22981907I like the NACHTREIHER well enough but comparing it to the sex machine that is the AALIYAH is a joke. Also if I wanted see fat Vixen I'd be asking for a heavyweight based on the 00-ARETHA.
I want to play Formula Front PS2 so bad but I don't speak a word of japanese... I want to understand the lore dammit. It's not the same on the PSP version
>>22981912What fucking lore?>Different universe from other AC games>AC battles are now a sport where they are AI or remote controlled so nobody diesThere you go, that's your lore.
>>22981917PS2 version has some completely different elements and more story from what I read, almost a different game
>Wahhhh the poor tester AC pilotI don't know why everyone has a bleeding heart for this guy, he knew what he was getting into the second he stepped into that cockpit.

>>22981924>Half the redguns are debt slaves who stockholm syndrome'd into enjoying the job.Their own fault for accruing enough debt to end up there.>Or in Arquebus' case, got brainwashed.Pretty sure only one of the vespers is known to have gone through their reeducation camp.
>>22981364I still rock the headcanon of Balam getting fucked over by the closure system, and losing a bunch of shit during planetfall, which Arquebus handled better/got lucky/ ALLMIND shenanigans
>>22981924the redguns are already lucky, what kind of job IRL would recruit people in deep shit and ex convict of very serious crimes?
>>22981765I don't mind it. Sounds cool and different than just saying ACs all the time
>>22981935While I'm unsure of how possibly true that can be, at the very least they do start the story down 1 red gun who's corpse is in the intro mission who is implied to have been taken down by likely either Raven or the PCA. It's also worth noting we are missing a lot of numbers even counting him going to G13, which leads me to believe a lot of the red guns simply weren't on Rubicon and got deployed elsewhere.
>>22981954G13 being the guest spot might just be a joke about the significance of the number 13 and not an indication theres 4 unaccounted redguns
>>22981957Also entirely possible, but it makes me question why they'd never have those spots before 13 filled. Time will tell I guess if we see more from Balam in DLC or a sequel.
>>22981831>Ayre's VAshe did a great job I hope they contrive more ways for her to keep coming back. I bet she enjoyed doing a more bitchy and seductive voice this time
>>22981962If I recall a lot of 3rd gen reused the same operator VA in English despite it being a new operater so there's precedent for it. Granted that was Agetec's decision and not FROM/Bamco, but still.
probably just a callback with no meaning but still
>>22981975holy fuck
>>22981975I'm pretty sure the short isn't canon to any AC and just has reference to many games added by artist
>>22981975Probably a callback, the PCA logo looks a lot like Omer's logo too. That said, that's one hell of a hidden callback.>>22981979Anon it clearly takes place on Rubicon.

Ayre largely has no idea what's going on for most of the story and is shown to be very naive, her only real "goal" for most of the game is being naturally drawn to the Coral Convergence which is more a result of her nature. It's only near the end that she resolves to defend the coral from exploitation, whether that be stopping 621 or working alongside him to defeat Carla/Snailteus/ALLMIND.
>>22981774They are files for a purchaseable package which means we are getting SOMETHING. Could be DLC, could be Shrieker parts, could be something lame like OST...
>>22982043I'm huffing deep hits of hopium that its parts from the short. Those RJ legs look so dope.
>>22982046Me too. I want the Balam frames in particular. Let's be honest they are way too cool models to be used for a single animation and abandoned, it would be a huge waste.
>>22982043honestly i thought that it'd be the OST from secret levelit's the most in line with what from has done with past DLCs
>>22982054Lamest shit ever
>>22982046personally i dig the shrieker parts
>>22982043>OST>lameI wanna slap around Allguazu to Blackout though?
>>22982043>They are files for a purchaseable package which means we are getting SOMETHING.>My source? Uhhhhhh... Dude trust me bro! Miyazaki used to play mahjong with my uncle!Yeah nah fuck off unless you provide proof.
>>22982064SteamDB you big dumb bitch
>>22982066Prove it's something purchasable you loser.
>>22982066If you're talking about this that's just them making the game purchasable in a bunch of third world countries dude.
>>22982067https://steamdb.info/subs/Let daddy spoonfeed you big boyI bet you like that don't you. Just like your mother
>>22982077>ctrl + f "armored core">0 resultsWHOA... IT IS REAL...
>>22982076Lol oh no, he was so cocky too.
>>22982043>>22982046>>22982052i'd be surprised if the DLC included the balam frames because i think it'd tip the balam-arquebus frame balance in the favor of balamjust off my head it'd be something like this: MELANDERMELANDER C3MELANDER HEAVY BIPEDENTIRELY NEW REVERSE JOINTVERRILNEW MELANDER QUADRUPEDBORNEMISSZA-------VP-40SVP-424 (including VP-46D arms and VP-44D head)VE-40AVE-42B (including VE-44B head)i think it would work out a little bit closer if you counted the individual parts instead of trying to count them as sets
>>22982095Do you really think DLC for an armored core game would just introduce some balam sets and that'd be it? How new are you? It's moot anyway, no DLC announced yet and the steamdb thing was just being hyped by an idiot who can't read.
I have a feeling they arnt going to release an expansion.
>>22982111Nah I'm sure they will. The question is just "when". Keep in mind SOTE was announced 2/28/23, while Elden Ring was released 2/24/22. This means since AC6 released on 8/25/23, at worst we could expect an announcement as late as 9/1/24. ...Oh, wait a second.
>>22982077Man you gotta feel real dumb right now.
>>22981884Vigorous masturbation while Ayre's encouraging you to keep goingIf she's connected to your nerves she might be able to feel some pleasure too
The 002-B Rayleonard units are cool. I like them.
>>22982127They and the ARETHA are both cool as fuck older brothers to the AALIYAH.
>>22981813>Fires eliminates Coral from all future entries (unless burning it all didn't work for the fucking second time which would be dumb as hell)fwiw, if you fail during the reclaim the xylem mission (which means that the "fires of Walter and Carla" I guess will happen) ALLMIND says We'll have to revise our plans. There will be another chance." She probably has some Coral stashed away somewhere safe to propagate post fires.
>>22982139I mean that or Allmind knows that the fires just like last time won't exterminate the Coral for good. Inevitably some embers will survive and it'll all kick up again.
>>22982127yeah, they're funky
>>22982111Rubicon certainly sold well enough to justify a DLC, especially when compared with how much the early souls games sold. But they probably made the judgement call to prioritize Elden Ring's DLC instead because that was the big golden goose.In hindsight it should have been obvious when they randomly patched in new parts out of the blue that it was the result of post-release development getting canned and the already-completed DLC content being put out for free since otherwise they'd just be wasted effort.I think it's more likely at this point we just get an entirely new AC game in 2-3 years that builds on 6's gameplay without necessarily being confined to its setting.
>>22982209>I think it's more likely at this point we just get an entirely new AC game in 2-3 years that builds on 6's gameplay without necessarily being confined to its setting.That'd be the best course of action since it's not like there's many ways to write a sequel in 6's timeline
>>22982220>it's not like there's many ways to write a sequel in 6's timelineNTA but to be honest I was of the mind they planned to make the sequel actually a prequel where we played as the OG Nightfall Raven (with our own AC of course) so we could find out exactly what the fuck they did to the PCA that started this entire mess. Raven not being voiced at all was my smoking gun there and this would have been a very outside the box way of doing a "sequel".
>>22982125Hot
>>22982125imagine wanking like a porn addict just to tease your tulpa
>>22982125That's risky, since she'd learn to identify herself as having a dick
>>22982235What would 621 use if he's the final boss fight?unless it use the AC from our AC6 save.
>>22982261621 wouldn't be the final boss. At the start of the base game we find Raven's AC (or an older copy of it at least, implying they ejected) destroyed in mission 1 where we steal their ID. Presumably the final boss would be something we fight there, with our success presumably resulting in us both going down.
>>22982220>it's not like there's many ways to write a sequel in 6's timelinelet's say allmond keep and give to different groups the tech to make gen4 augmented humans, so she can have backup triggersthen you can have a whole bunch of story lines that happen during the events of AC6 somewhere else on the planetthe plot of AC6 and AC in general isn't that complicated, you could come up with a bunch stories for a bunch of sequel, prequel, and side stories, enough to make a handfull of DLCs, and city builder spinoff where you build an underground facility
>>22982293>city builder spinoffBuy a rope.
>>22982299
I don't care if it would be had to makeI want 621's story to continueIhateprequelslop
>>22982322You're crazy if you think any sequel we get will be about 621 again. That or a secondary anyway. AC protagonists are never the same character in the sequels.
>>22982324The 621 storylines were so engaging, its going to be hard to give up on it for some prequel
>>22982327>>22982322I liked the story in AC6 as well but it's over. 621 chose what he fights for, and he won. that's it. Dragging things out would be foolish.
So how'd you feel about the suiting up, the sheer amount of things plugged into the pilot? Does make me wonder if it's different for different generations.
>>22982327>its going to be hard to give up on it for some prequelDude there's no prequel, that was just my theory on what we'd get. We could get a sequel or nothing at all and they skip to AC7, calm down. That said there's less than a 1% chance of any sequel being about 621.
>>22982338It's not canon to the games. FROM themselves said this was just that studios interpretation of armored core and they weren't involved. That said, it was honestly less invasive than I expected. There was a sketch a while back of how gen 4 LYNX were wired into their ACs and it was fucking nuts, I imagined this gen being fairly similar given how heavily augs are referenced.
>>22982331And really it is the best idea, there's a solid foundation for exploring other things, we don't need to stay on Rubicon.
>>22982338621 was one of the earliest generations, his augments were fucked up beyond belief, probably way worse than the reeves.I doubt he can even function normally, or even walk freely.
>>22982331>>22982341This. We got mention of the Jupiter wars and shit, I want to explore other planets. Rubicon is a frozen desert shithole anyway.
>>22982341>there's a solid foundation for exploring other thingsNot sure that's true. As much as I want to see a post coral release story, I don't. Any further plotlines would detract from the mysterious and sublime nature of the events.
>>22982343We interact with other mercs of the same or older gens and they're fine. This "621 is a lobotomite" narrative is the dumbest shit the community has ever come up with. Reminder that Iguazu is also a gen 4 and he's perfectly fine.
>>22982343Walter did tell you to undo the surgery and get back to a normal life, so I assume it isn't THAT bad.
>>22982346More in the sense of you can set stories just not involved with rubicon and not taking place after the ending of 6.
>>22982346You're assuming coral release is the canon ending, and it might not be.
>>22982348>Iguazu is also perfectly fineWhat did he mean by this?
>>22982348We don't really know they are fine just that they can function in their mechs much like 621. And we know the gens 1-4 had many side effects because of the process with 1's specifically being really fucked considering they had a 10% success rate.
>>22982348>Reminder that Iguazu is also a gen 4 and he's perfectly fine.Uhh...
>>22982352>>22982357>>22982362>In his new life, he quickly began to quarrel with Volta, his oftentimes partner in crime. Iguazu's recalcitrant nature was such that one day he even picked a fight with the Hero of Jupiter, who retaliated with such fury that Iguazu never quite looked the same afterward.He was well enough to challenge Michigan to a physical fight and got his ass kicked post-op. Again this narrative that augmentated humans cannot survive or function outside their ACs is horse shit. There's zero basis in the lore for such a conclusion.
>>22982357>And we know the gens 1-4 had many side effects because of the process with 1's specifically being really fucked considering they had a 10% success rate.High chance of death =/= heavy side effects, anon. The only thing we know negatively about early augs is the high death rate and that eventually they can cause a "coral burn" on your brain which requires modern augmentation surgery to counteract it. Anything beyond this is just your headcanon.
>>22982357>>22982373Oh and that sometimes gen 4s can be moody and withdrawn, but that's not what I'd consider a crippling side effect.
>>22982368Clearly, he was in an AC sized bar and got into an AC fight.
>>22982357Gen 4's specific problems were emotional stunting, which is what 621 seems to exhibit. That's all though; he even drags himself to the jailbreak mech so he can move.
>>22982380Headbringer looks fine though?
>>22982381Not to mention Arquebus's reeducation camp presumably also consists of physical torture, which would explain the "dragging" rate of speed 621 uses to get to the JAILBREAK. The Iguazu shit mentioned earlier suggests that if he wasn't injured he'd be able to walk/run well enough.
>>22982382HEADBRINGER actually used to be a tetrapod.
>>22982376>>22982381Not just Gen 4's the Hawkin's profile states it's a issue with all the coral based augmented humans having a "loss of humanity". It mentions something about "grisly accidents" of the gens 5 and 6 but not sure what it means by this.
>>22982386>Michigan hit Iguazu so hard USLANDER tetrapod legs split into the MELANDER and MELANDER C3Whoa...
>>22982387>Not just Gen 4's the Hawkin's profile states it's a issue with all the coral based augmented humans having a "loss of humanity".I would imagine this is the "Coral burn-in" referenced in O'Keeffe's profile. Eventually Coral tech burns your brain and yeah, that'd presumably cost you your sanity.>It mentions something about "grisly accidents" of the gens 5 and 6 but not sure what it means by this.It's implying that gens 5 and 6 were dangerous and discontinued because of that. My guess is they were about as safe, or less so, than gen 1 but the "grisly" aspect likely means that the cause of death was never as pretty as something like cardiac arrest.
>>22982393>I would imagine this is the "Coral burn-in" referenced in O'Keeffe's profile. Eventually Coral tech burns your brain and yeah, that'd presumably cost you your sanity.Keeffe's ranting about humanity and how bad Coral Release would actually be supports this too. He felt his humanity slipping away, and that terrified him.
>>22982373I if remember right Walter dismisses 621 talking about hearing Ayre as gen 4 being prone to hearing voices, no? Sounds like gen 4 are predisposed to being schizos.
>>22982403In general Coral tech seems to run the risk of mental issues, yeah. From what we can glean from the story, these can range from withdrawn emotions and depression to full-blown schizophrenic delusions and an actual loss of humanity (ego death?). Not fun. That said 621 isn't actually affected by any of this, and all the other Coral augmented humans we meet seem fine too, though O'Keeffe was experiencing symptoms which is why he requested gen 9 surgery to counteract it.
>>22982403Which makes sense considering how coral is and gen 1-4 are all coral augmented. I'd imagine there are a bunch out there who were just hearing the coral voices and the scientists were just writing it off as mental issues from the surgery.
>>22982418Iguazu certainly seems like one such individual. He's hearing shit and chalks it up to his surgery "that quack messed me up". Turns out he's just catching stray Coral voices from Ayre though. I'd actually wager none of them are ACTUALLY having schizophrenic delusions and hearing voices that aren't there, there's a solid chance every single one that reports with this symptom is actually hearing the Coral, and it's getting falsely diagnosed.
>>22982408>That said 621 isn't actually affected by any of thisAll things considered I don't know if we can definitively say this, we know they are saying things off screen so it's probably up to the player to really get into how 621 is. Though really most is probably being emotionally withdrawn, odds are if he was suffering ego death Ayre wouldn't be as receptive to him.
>>22982424Oh no don't get me wrong, it's plainly obvious 621 is emotionally withdrawn. Walter states as such and Carla's constant reminders to smile make it seem like she's aware of it too, up until the end of the story where we finally cracked a joke it's fairly implied that 621 is a bit of a stick in the mud. Rusty can't even figure us out, which would make sense if we are mostly closed off and quiet. Nah, I don't refute this symptom one bit. What I meant was 621 doesn't seem to be experiencing anything more serious than that, none of the "Coral burn-in" shit like loss of humanity.
Nobody else pretends to be a raging schizo when playing as 621 for full immersion?Really?No random screaming, throwing shit around the room, smearing shit on the walls, etc.?Are you even trying to get into the game? Fucking normies ffs.
>>22982430Post your AC, I need you to back up this schizo LARP with an equally schizo build, emblem, and paint scheme
>>22982422I'd imagine most aren't as clear as Ayre and Seria because of the circumstances behind them, I'd imagine it would be a problem to just hear random voices that have little context which is probably why no one put two and two together.
>>22982433Yeah Iguazu just hears it as a "ringing" until he fuses with Allmind. Full-blown contact itself seems to be rare, but I'd wager the "ringing" is a common manifestation. There's probably other similar reports like static or even indistinguishable whispers. Stuff which could easily get labeled as schizophrenia tier hearing voices.
>>22982432Shit I don't have a picture but its really fucked up.I put a shit ton of flags from random extremist and countering ideologies on it so it confuses people in pvp.Multicolored cancer.Its hyper light weight with two earshot cannons and pee shooters. I call it the "Gonna coom".
>>22982445That's amazing and I need that picture as soon as you can. No rush.
>>22982448I'm not home but to give an example>right shoulder Israeli flag, Nazi symbol on chest>left shoulder Palestinian flag, LGBT symbol on other chest>Communist symbol along with MAGA>BLM and Back the BlueIts hilarious because you can cram a ton of flags using the custom symbol maker thingy by creating 3 or more flags in a single symbolLots of autismIts not about being cool. Its about making sure the other guy thinks about you after a few weeks because of how bizarre you were.
>>22982452>Its not about being cool. Its about making sure the other guy thinks about you after a few weeks because of how bizarre you were.I'm sure gonna be thinking of it for a few weeks and I haven't even seen it.
>Sulla shares the same paint scheme as Nine-Ball>Sulla plays the same role as Nine-Ball, being an assassin for ALLMIND>Sulla's emblem resembles formation for a game of 6-ball, which is essentially a scaled down game of 9-ball which requires less skill due to the less number of balls involved in the game>6 turned upside down is 9whoa.........
>>22982504I thought it was clear ALLMIND was gen6's Nineball
>>22982504>>Sulla plays the same role as Nine-Ball, being an assassin for ALLMINDNo? Nineball was never an "assassin" for anyone. Hustler One and the AI were always one and the same.
I'm pretty sure this will forever be the most kino moment in AC history.
>>22982504don't forget>Dolmayan has the same paint scheme as Sulla
So where do you think Keanu and his AC would rank in the AC6's arena?
>>22982622probably somewhere in B-rank, he seems like a coldcall-tier pilot
>>22982622Tippy top>>22982627Nah man, didn't you hear him? He's the best. Nobody's like him, might as well call him Hustler Zero because even Hustler One would fold like an MT.
>>22982622doesnt matter, id kill him in under 10 secondsshreikers loadout is honestly super underwhelming
>>22982649Is this supposed to be impressive? Freud is a joke. Honestly the entire AC6 arena is, but Freud belongs in like C rank.
>>22982649I didn't ask how would (You) fare against him Mr. Big Boy. Freud doesn't even have a good build.
>The mech, as Keanu mentions, is called Shrieker— but that’s just a phonetic simplification of a much more awkward spelling, with much more world-changing implications.what the fuck did he mean by this(source: writer of the ep at https://www.rifters.com/crawl/?p=11288 )
>>22982652fuck you, im proud of it, that was my first try and was shocked what i pulled off
>>22982655Anon your priorities in AC are kinda backwards.
>>22982656ahh im sorry, i forgot AC was a romance VN
>>22982658No I mean beating arena opponents, quickly or otherwise, has NEVER been something people found impressive in this franchise. Go S rank a horse shit mission with a complete meme build or beat a sweaty loser online with something casual or funny, then you'll have us clapping.
>>22982654Wait, Peter Watts wrote the episode? Fucking based.
>>22982667He wrote the story upon which the screenplay was based on. Several changes were made, he said they completely changed his ending and that he thought it was for the better.rifters.com/crawl/?p=11288
>>22982659Wut? Beating MoA Disc 2 arena is pretty impressive.
>>22982622He takes on 5 ACs in a single mission which is a pretty insane feat, especially since they are Coral supersoldiers with siper coordination. So pretty high uo. Likely top 10
>>22982127>They're EVIL! They KILL their PILOTS!
>>22982127are those the prototypes? So THAT's what they look like under all the particle effects
>>22982368lots of people have this fixation on the idea that in AC the pilots are just a sack of potatoes inside of a giant robot. This has literally never been the case outside of like 2 or 3 pilots across the whole franchise, to the extent that AC1 pilots had character art. Even in gen 4, Lynxs we're still normal people, just with a different set of augmentations so they could handle piloting a NEXT. I don't know why the AC fanbase is so dumb on this topic especially as it takes away from the aesthetic of the series. It's about giant robots yet but an intrinsic part about it IS the humanity involved in the background of it all. Being a bag of organs in a coffin in the center of the mech is antithetical to this aesthetic
>>22982866>>22982368the AC6 story trailer did irreparable damage to 6th gen story and setting discussion, truly
>>22982866we literally see Zinaida out of her cockpit in LR, Ravens were never pilot nuggets. Even the H+ cutscene doesn't imply anything of the sort. All the augmentations are internal, on the outside all you'd see are some ports for various plugs like Keanu had, maybe a shaved head and cyberpunk "tech lines" too. Unless you're a freak like CUBE
>>22982873>Unless you're a freak like CUBERude. CUBE just transcended his humanity, no big deal.
>>22982891I am a supporter of fullborg augmentation, just saying CUBE is probably a torso in a jar or similar
Who thought having a comment section in a virtual encyclopedia would be a good idea?
>>22982906the problem was using FANDOM in the first place
So, the episode I've got yesterday from the usual place only had english dub. Now there are two more there but there's no mention if they have other voiced languages. I'm looking for french and japanese, are any versions with these two available without touching paid services?
>>22982703Well 5 ACs were controlled by one pilot so it still count as 1v1
>>22982942Is this the level of media literacy of the average anon? They were 5 ACs with 5 different pilots, all in perfect sync
Where did this AC come from? The tunnel already blew up, and Shrieker was the last one to get through
>>22982992It's one of the two tunnel ACs that barely made it through but fucked up
>>22982906Use JP wiki.
>>22981910I will forever love the feet on this design
>>22982992The second AC got crushed, the first AC barely made it through.
I haven't played 6 in a while, isn't 621 a vegetable?
>>22983160No you fucking idiot. He's emotionally withdrawn but aside from that he's fine.
>>22983160Absolutely nothing in the game suggests that. On the contrary, the camera angles in the menus suggest you walking around the hangar, and 621 moves around the sewers in the jailbreak mission cutscene.
>>22983160Walter literally told you to undo the argumentation and get back to a normal life after finishing your business on Rubicon
>>22983238That doesn't mean 621 is a vegetable.
>>22983240exactly
>>22982220It can easily be confined in the same setting.Pick one of the two endings that are not the Allmind route clusterfuck, set it in distant future, or in case of Fires ending just put it into a different planetary system with 621 appearing as a final bossfight, the surprise reveal that the demon who set Rubicon on fire survived.
>>22981975>AC6 continues the AC4 and AC5 timelineKINOOOOOO
>>22982964>media literacyI hate this reddit term so much.Just call him a retarded speedwatcher like a normal human being.

>Tunnel Snakes made their way to Rubicon.
>>22983302Someone with more skill than me could probably make this in the emblem editor

>>22983321621 being woken up
>>22983321621 post-op, that doesn't mean he lives in the bag forever you moron. The game directly tells you that augmented humans can move around just fine, see: >>22982368 Iguazu is a gen 4 just like 621.
>>22983371>>22983321There's also picrel which presumably includes Iguazu somewhere, who seems fine (physically-wise).
No hidden parts in Project Phantasma? The mission maps seem to lend themselves well to this.Also: Only 17 missions? That's it? The fist one was a lot better.
>>22983416PP is pretty much just DLC for 1
>>22983416>>22983419Yeah in practice AC1 feels like a proof of concept and PP feels like a poorly made DLC for it. For the quintessential gen 1 experience look forward to MoA.
>>22983416PP is pretty short, yeah. You have the first incarnation of arena at least. MoA is better in pretty much all ways.
>>22983431>>22983440>Never got a new version of the MoA variant of the gen 1 grenade rifle in any other AC gameIt's not fair. WG-PB26 my beloved, I'll miss you always.
>>22983440>PP is pretty shortbut enough about you
Your pilot? A puny h*man.*My* pilot? Praying mantis. Top of the line Coral augmentations. You wouldn't get it.We are not the same.
>>22981418>it's fucking amazing to me that retards still say Ayre has some secret sinister agenda when she is nothing but earnest with you the entire timeI'm in the boat of Ayre clearly just being earnest and wanting what's best for the Coral and Rubicon, but I also don't think she's entirely innocent either. When everyone seems to merge with the Coral in the Alea Iacta Est ending, it ends with Ayre becomes 621's AI telling them to engage in combat mode like always. While I feel like from Ayre's perspective, merging Coral and humanity together is a good thing, it really does seem like she just did what ALLMIND wanted to do (assimilate everyone into the coral) but the only difference is ALLMIND would've controlled everything. But now that EVERYONE has a Coral waifu telling them what to do, it'll just lead to humanity eventually dying out and the Coral taking overtl;dr while I don't think Ayre was malicious in her intentions, it's pretty clear she prioritizes the Coral above all else which leads to some pretty bad implications for humanity assuming they don't learn to bond with the Coral. Remember not everyone ingame was able to get in-sync with their Coral wife like 621 did
>>22983390If I were to guess I'd say the rightmost one is Iguazu. He sounds like a younger guy and the drawing, however hard to make out, looks like a young guy
>>22983321He's clearly is the bag permanently. That's why the AC is behind him, that's how they prepare him before lowering him in.
>>22983731Ah yes, the bag that moves around the hangar and drags itself around the sewers. That bag.
>>22983732If only he had someone that would move him around, some sort of handler.
>>22983759You go behind walter's back pretty often, who's pushing you then? And what about the sewers, after Walter's been captured?
>>22983764Two words: mobility scooter.
>>22983773That's only for Firmeza treads users
>stop the surface weapon>literally have to fight serbiawhat did they mean by this
>>22983764He lives in the cockpit most of the time. That's why he gets audio messages from Walter even though he's in the same building.

>>22983838621 is just too nervous and autistic to talk to Walter directly, that's why he prefers messages
The most unforgivable thing is that the old VOB animation was made with 17 year old tech and a fraction of the budget yet still looks way better.
>>22984002it felt like a really forced 4th gen reference for what's ostensibly a battle scene between 6th/3rd gen ACs. i would've left it out but i guess it's necessary to knowledge the 4th gen games with western audiences
*acknowledgei'm going to bed early
>>22984011>i would've left it out but i guess it's necessary to knowledge the 4th gen games with western audiencesThey should have left it out. Gen4 was a mistake.
>>22983887It's the first time I've ever heard an """official""" medium acknowledge AC having fuel limitations.
Fanart popping up here and there.
>>22983953
>>22983887Not perfect, there's a few errors, but still very coolAnyone complaining is an ungratefull twat
>>22984038SHRIEKER really feels like a fun addition to the VIXEN/AALIYAH family doesn't itwhat's the sauce
>>22984073https://x.com/knine_ne
>>22984076arighatou
>>22984073I hate that every AC was black in a night scene. Shrieker and the two mercs at the very least should have had a unique scheme. I doubt people would have realized that these robots are supposed to be customizable.
>>22983979Here have the full image
>>22984086I mean to be fair if they were going for a gritty realism standpoint, dark ACs are the best option for a dark mission. Camouflage man.
>>22984094There's plenty of realistic military schemes they could have gone for that would have been more interesting, including actual camouflage.
>>22984086Shrieker could've used some color, but I understand the other augs not having them because it's probably meant to convey something about them being fresh, rookie augs that escaped a facility or something. they run very same-y builds after all. they might even be PS clones
>>22984103Actual camouflage patterns are ugly
>>22984103i've been trying to experiment with pink ever since learning that it's actually pretty okay for desert camo.
>>22984118>pinkThat's salmon at best.
>>22984121that's just the lighting
>>22984044>Armored Bore?>More like Bore: Ragnarok.
>>22984044Armored Coremered Transformers
>>22984118Start by dialing the saturation way down
>>22983943it's weird seeing people mention me by name here and post my stuff, anytime i see a 4chan analytics thingy in my yt shit i'm like "who the fuck is posting my videos on 4chan"anyway the ac episode was mid as shit it's just nothing to do with AC for most of the episode and what references there are to the games are surface level at best. it doesn't feel like ac in any meaningful way and the move to pull the pilots out of the ACs didn't add shit to the final product and may have even removed from it[/spoiler]
>>22984180Nobody gives a fuck what you think. You're not as important as you believe you are, sit down.
>>22984200lmao living rent free in your head i guess
>>22984208I don't even know who you are, I'm an outsider on this conversation. I can just tell from the fact you mentioned you have a YT channel you put your opinion on that you're a pompous fag with an inflated ego.
>>22984094>>22984103Speaking about patterns, some ready made paintjobs like those in Mechwarrior 5 would be nice, especially if they worked like the camo patterns.
>>22984213did you not read the chain of posts or smth? inveigh. i figured that would be obvious from context but whatever. the only reason i'm here rn is from the analytics page lmao i was trying to see who posted my shit here and why. sure that's ego i guess.
>>22984221>did you not read the chain of posts or smth? inveigh. i figured that would be obvious from context but whatever.I don't give a fuck what your name is, I'm not going to remember it or watch your shit.>sure that's ego i guess.Good fuck off.
>>22984221>the only reason i'm here rn is from the analytics pageSo, does the analytics page give you a link to every single repost or did you have to comb the site to find it?
>>22984224>>22983943.....are you not the poster who brought up that you already had an idea of my opinion? kinda at odds with not remembering my name kek
>>22984227it gives a link that says it's on 4chan.org and the only place it would be posted would be in an armored core thread. it's not exactly rocket surgery to find it.
>>22982703I feel like that has more to do with everyone doesn't have a scanner/radar. The quad would have seen him coming and just QB to the side and then the 3 of them would have mag dump Keanu to death.
>>22984231They don't even seem to have the compass or the hit warning indicator.
>>22984228No, I literally told you I'm an outsider on the conversation. Do you read?
>>22984233apparently not well enough kek
>>22984232the compass and hit warning indicator isn't in the ac6 trailer so they don't know about it. you would have to play the game to know those exist.
>>22984233>>22984234Now kiss and make up, kiddos.
>>22984236any day of the week bb
>>22984236I ain't kissing a YouTuber. They'd film it for clout or some sort of horny ASMR video.
>>22984235Fair enough, although you could also just watch some gameplay videos. For something, idk, inspiration? Research?
>>22984239armored core booster firing asmr [9 hours]
>>22984247Not gonna lie I'd throw that on in the background for the meme.
>>22984251https://youtu.be/vqnie40t-BI this is the closest I can think of from Bezel, but it's only 2 mins. no 9 hours of boosting unfortunately
You know what? I'm gonna say it: Last Raven isn't hard, it's just really fucking annoying. Also Nexus was more fun and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>22984255none of the ac games are hard once you learn the absolute basics of the mechanics. a mediocre pvp player will have zero trouble with even the hardest missions in the entire series because to be mediocre at pvp you need to learn the mechanics.
>>22984253Now find one with the overboost vroom.
>>22984259you won't see a lot of them with overboost because it's kind of dogshit in pvp. it consuming your shield makes it kinda worthless outside of specific setups
cant wait to see the anons here shitting their pants tomorrow at the game awards expecting a DLC reveal when its not going to happen
>>22984274I'm about 95% sure there won't be a DLC. Elden Ring got one announced roughly 1 year launch, only off by a matter of days, and we are WELL past that mark. Smoking gun may be the free patch we got with some pity parts in it. There was an initial plan for DLC most likely, but it got scrapped so they just gave us what was finished already for free and moved on.
>>22984297It's because they are making 6Answer instead.... right?
>>22984329No I think we are long past the days of sequels like that. At this point I expect AC6 to be wholly isolated as is and next we will get AC7. Miyazaki voiced interest in directing a modern AC title, so it's entirely possible he's working on that currently.
>>22984148i disagreeone saturated color should be permitted as a treat, to add vibrancy
>>22984369NTA but for older gens I agree, but newer? In AC6 ultra saturated colors usually look bad unless you max out the reflectiveness and luster and even then darker almost always looks nicer.
>>22984374that's just going with the flow of NPC buildseven ACFA has the boo-hoo mood of Earth dying but still has crazy paintjobs like Canis or Emerald Raccoondon't let modern from's lack of imagination restrain you
>>22984398>Disliking gaudy as fuck ACs is "NPC behavior"Take your meds man.
>>22984398Hey bro I like my darker paint job.
>>22984398Hey now, I beat the game with a Takemikazuchi cosplay build and I still bothered to create rather mundane liveries for beloved ACs anyways. Not everything cool has to look like a bright pink race car.
>>22984420>>22984427Based
>>22984427Are you going to post it?

>>22984180i'm seconding the other guy calling you names
>>22984180>it's weird seeing people mention me by name here and post my stuffHow is that weird? Your person, as an entity, exists on the internet. You produce content. That, in turn, generates attention directed at your person. How weird is it that your person or your product are being discussed or, at the very least, mentioned in an online public space manufactured specifically to facilitate discussion and free exchange of ideas? Especially in such niche context. What a silly sentiment. You are silly. I watched the linked video. Complaining about a third party Armored Core content forcing a face onto the franchise while you plaster yours all over the video. Silly.
>>22984746>silly>silly>SillyThe words you're looking for is "retarded".
>>22984678Would've been a lot better instrumental but it's still a lot closer to what soundtrack in 6 should've sounded like. Hopefully From rectifies this mistake in AC 6.5/7 or should I say Frame Gride 2.
>>22984756>Frame Gride 2Lol much like Metal Wolf Chaos 2, never ever gonna happen. The only mecha franchise FROM will ever touch now is AC. At best they'll one day drop a completely new mecha IP true soulslike, but even that's a stretch.
>>22984763You must be quite a clairvoyant to speak about time not yet passed with such confidence.>LolStop lollygagging.
>>22984374>>22984398>arguing like tards over bright vs muted colors>not doing bothI have plenty of ACs ranging from really colorful to military camo, don't be fags.
>>22984779i DID say both >>22984369
>>22984773>You must be quite a clairvoyant to speak about time not yet passed with such confidence.I'm just speaking to the abysmal probability, it's so low it might as well be a 0% chance. If you bought a lottery ticket tomorrow I'd confidently state you were going to lose too, anyone who'd state "OH YOU MIGHT WIN ;)" is an idiot.
So there will be a the DLC announcement at TGA tonight or not for you anons?
>>22984756>Would've been a lot better instrumentalyeah the first 40 seconds are pure gold, wish it kept going for a bit longer
>>22984900They will the new Transformers game
>>22984900oh, probably notby the way should the next OP be about that or something elsefeel free to post images for it
>>22985012>>22985012>>22985012
>>22984541The Mikazuchi or the mundane one?
>>22985526Yes.
Sneak post before the thread gets archived. No one will find it here.
>>22987649Found it!
>>22987673FUCK!!
>>22987649I look like that in real life ;)
