ACbros... Why are we still overshadowed by Gundam?
Is it just because Gundam is a massive anime franchise? Surely not...
>>
>>729054763
yeah pretty much. still prefer it over it despite having cool games because of the mercenary presentation
>>
What gundam? Haven't had a good gundam game in years.

Anyway I dunno why you keep baiting for replies with the size comparison images. I've never seen anyone engage with it. You can just make mecha threads.

AC mechs are actually pretty lame looking, not that gundam is peak mech design but it doesn't feel like some knockoff bargain bin mech part graveyard the way armored core does. Also the world surrounding the mechs in AC is very dull, factories and industrial equipment doesn't excite people the way vibrant future cities and lived in space colonies do. AC doesn't need to change but this, alongside the lack of characters are why it'll always remain niche

why are botfuckers just like furries?

Armored Cores are vehicles with humanoid features, Gundams are oversized Sentai costumes themed around robots.

Ac6 actually revived the mecha indie scene. So while small you atleast get some choices for ac like games. Gunda. Doesnt even have a single good game available that isnt gacha shit or arcade locked.

Also gundams are just a slightly bigger hc
>>
It's just because mecha is such an extreme niche. Even if AC got a cool grimdark anime it wouldn't sell even with the fromsoft fanbase bump it receives.
It would have to be some kawaii ugu waifu infused mech series to pander to the modern day anime incels like gundam has done its last 2 series.

>>729054763
Any AC from game 4+ would smoke a Mobile Suit, let alone a Gundam.
>>
>>729056114
no they aren't, the speedy mechs in AC look like an edgy mech from some d-tier late 00s anime like Bokurano
>>
>>729054763
Not enough toys
not enough merch in general
>>
>>729056732
white glint is the only recognisable AC mech that exists and even then it just looks like a less cartoony macross mech. FROM should invent an entirely new universe with their own style of mechs. Their art team is good enough to do it, i want to see designs that are unmistakably FROM, weird shit like the Five Star Stories mechs

to be fair size isn't everything for mecha...

this is like comparing a space ship to a fighter jet

Are you sure about that?

Wait, there's good gundam gacha games?

Why is there 2 threads?
Also GIWTWM

Yes, sd gundam eternal is a good tactics game. Makes a ton of money too, unironically the most profitable gundam game ever
>>
>>729059719
Gundam breaker mobile was an ok game. Shame gb4 was lackluster.

30minutes ac is making a killing that its actually fucking up regular gunpla releases. Really helps when you have good characters attached to the robots.

>>729054763
In terms of video games, I feel like Armored Core is vastly more popular.
Gundam video games generally don't get any traction outside of Japan. The biggest one being the arena shooter that fell off the face of the earth.
Armored Core 6 however became a sizeable success which is gong to get a sequel sooner or later.
>>
How I'd make Armored Core great again if I were a FromSoft higher up
>Talk Bandai into paying for development
>Design a typical Armored Core title
>But you play as a mercenary during the One Year War
>Can choose missions from The Federation, Zeon, Independent colonies, and (((Anaheim Electronics)))
>Different combination of missions lead to a different story route and ending
>>
>>729061892
Maybe better post war. There's not really any space for mercenaries in the OYW and all the major events are extremely dense and plotted out in the timeline. Plenty of room for a merc in 0081 setting.
>>
>>729062541
There's no need to worry about such things as this would be a non-canon AU game like Gihren's Greed.
Other settings don't generate as much money or allow the player to partake in iconic battles.
