Exclusive: The First Armored Core 6 Details With Hidetaka Miyazaki and Masaru Yamamura

From IGN: "It’s easy to forget that FromSoftware president Hidetaka Miyazaki got his start working not on Dark Souls or Demon’s Souls, but Armored Core – the dense and gritty multiplayer mech series that defined the studio’s identity for almost a decade. Having decided to pursue a career as a game designer after playing Ico, Miyazaki’s first project was Armored Core: Last Raven, which was released in the heyday of the PS2 in 2004.

Looking back on Armored Core 4, which marked his directorial debut, Miyazaki muses in an exclusive new interview with IGN, “[It] was a time when I had to learn a lot in regard to both the technical aspect and the design aspect of game development. So you could really call it my starting point for game development.”

Since then, FromSoftware has established itself as the Soulsborne studio, reeling off hits like Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It reached its apex with Elden Ring, which was released to rave reviews and went on to sell 17.5 million units. So how do you follow what is generally regarded as the best game of 2022…and possibly one of the best games of all time? For Miyazaki, it’s by rewinding the clock."

- Third person action game more focused on single player than previous games, retains mission-based w/ heavy focus on customized mecha
- Boss battles are the highlight
- Will not be soulsbourne gameplay
- Versus/MP mode planned

VS/MP mode I don’t care about but the rest sounds great . It’s not bad to have but I want a great single player mecha game

- Will not be soulsbourne gameplay

All I wanted to know.

I know this is me being biased, but I really was hoping somehow it would’ve played like a souls-like game, lol. Even though it’s far from what an Armored Core game was.

Still, in my mind translating the combat and having giant weird mechanical bosses and an interconnected world made me super excited.

autobotdan534d ago

Finally. I still have all the xbox 360 Armored Core games. Finally another game

Man i really respect and admire Miyazaki and his team, he really knows what he’s doing. Where to go next and how to follow up Elden Ring ? You rewind the clock… interesting.

Stanjara534d ago (Edited 534d ago )

I think we are gonna have Arena pvp, like last Elden dlc, and you will see crazy crazy builds made by players... high mobility... crazy shields build, tanks, cannons omg. Its gonna be insane.

Also, yes mission based but I'm guessing something like dark souls design... metroidvania type... like a world with a hub, and each sections with a different setting and they are all connected somehow... you will scream no way.
MAybe, that's my thoughts... I would really like that.

So happy for this... really hyped up!
Whatever these guys do it will be great!

Ha man what is this the 8th time they are working on this issue?

SO the game is using division one maps/assets with some divison 2 thrown in with that we can say they never really made the maps so what have they been doing for there 6 to perhaps 8 years of dev time? must be alot of hookers/blow/parties.

It's astounding how much money they blow and this is the results. Gaming development is out of control.

just_looken3d ago

Right even when ubisoft cancelled division heartland as a beta player that game was a far better state then they push with this trash of a game that is still in a beta state after 3 years of delay's.

we are so starved of any decent fps/3rd person shooters out there it seems we will take anything even though some ps2 fps games were more fun then this game in my old opinion.

FPS_D3TH3d ago

Skeptical because it was an issue with ALL the betas and still hasn’t been fixed

just_looken3d ago

Its like they are using division one servers but they caught fire then were put together with barry/carols help from the janitors wing or some shit. Three years they still can not make it so the gun goes boom the guy gets hit then damage is applied.
