From Software's Armored Core 5 will receive a demo January 19th but it will only be in operation until the 23rd, for both Xbox Live and PlayStation Network with on and offline modes.
The online mode however won't function until the 21st when servers get switched on. A tutorial and story missions cater to offline gamers. No confirmation for a Western demo yet.
John GodGames Emus has released some new videos, showing Haze, Afro Samurai, Armored Core V and Clash of the Titans running in 4K on the PC thanks to the Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
Whatever happened to Afro Samurai 2? After they took it off the digital store I thought they’d come back with an improved product
Haze was nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be. I actually really liked it.
It was just released at a bad time when Sony and the PS3 could do no right. The developers and Sony over hyped it and it fell on its own sword.
The framerate and rending were more of the concern over resolution for me, and I can see they are making solid strides. Haze runs pretty well and doesn't seem to have many graphical or audio glitches (one cannot say the same for Ghost Recon lol). Given Sony hasn't provided any real backwards compatibility options, this is something I might consider. I still have my PS3 hooked up if I have a hankering for some last gen goodness, but I also wouldn't mind playing those games with either increased resolution or frame rate, whenever the emulator gets to that point :-)
Sometimes, regular old firepower just isn’t enough, and you have to dip into that high-powered futuristic technology to get the job done.
The Armored Core V server is going to be shut down later this month worldwide, From Software and Bandai Namco have recently announced.
Cool, hope I can navigate the menus from my Japanese account.
I remember the late 90's, when Armored Core was still relevant.
Does this game offer co-op?
Yay, time to dust of 'ye old Japanese PSN account once more. Gotta love me some FROM SOFTWARE titles. I hope this game is more in line with LAST RAVEN than the later incarnations of AC.
