The awkwardly-named Armored Core: for Answer has just received the demo treatment on the Japanese PlayStation Store.
Clocking in at a modest 517 MB, the demo should provide the answer to our question - is this new iteration in the series a significant upgrade from the letdown that was Armored Core 4? According to PSU's forum members, it's not, citing horrid controls and a poor framerate as reasons to the contrary.
After several months of waiting, FromSoftware finally revealed the Japanese release date for Armored Core's massive CD Box.
"FromSoftware Announces Release Date for Armored Core's Massive 20th . . ."
Ooooo *clicks article*
". . . Anniversary Soundtrack"
It might show up differently on phones or whatever, but on my phone those last two words are cut out when seeing the article on the front page, and only show up when you click on it and see the full title, lol.

In all honesty, some games would be better off left on the whiteboard at the design meeting. Whether they're too ambitious, too expensive or simply too good to be true, gamers are frequently led to imagine great things only to have our expectations dashed when the game finally arrives. How could these games be so good on paper yet underwhelm so spectacularly?
its not even a bad game but thats what i thought automatically.
i think it was because of the e3 gaming media attention. i think those fckers gassed me up.
for those that didnt play farcry 2 its a good game I just dont think its worth $60 dollars unless youre committed to planned attacks that dont work most of the time. there is no multiplayer. well there is mutlitplayer but youre not gonna want to play it.
given enough time farcry 2 could be 1 of your favortie games. play with the settings on your tv and it can look really good.

It's a bit odd really – giant robots shooting each other a lot seems like it would have universal appeal. Anyway, the Armored Core series has been around for over a decade now, with games appearing on the PlayStation, PS2, PS3 and Xbox 360, among others. The newest game to the series is the bizarrely titled For Answer, which builds on 2007's Armored Core 4. However, to be honest, not much as changed – if you liked the last game, then you're going to like this one. If you, for whatever reason, didn't like AC4, this isn't going to change your mind".
these guys need to prove themselves in the next generation of gaming, theirs so many good games out that amored core will be so easy to overlook unless something amazing is done
armored core is nice and all.... but i prefer a good combat figher sim... but really.... why is macross pic doing up there... >.> i thought they going to make a macross game x.x
I've been a big Armored Core fan since the beginning, but it seems like the last few installments have come out of nowhere every six months, and the first time I usually see them, they're already in the bargain bins. I wish they would just stop playing the EA game, and put more effort into making a quality AC that reinvents the same old series. The concept is incredible, but its getting a little stale.
this game has had one of the macross artist working on it. its been said that it is much better than ac4 by those playing the japanese version of the game
