Trendy Gamers: For Part 2 of our history of the Armored Core series, we’ll be looking at the early PlayStation 2-era games, starting with Armored Core 2 and going up to Silent Line: Armored Core.
KeenGamer: "'Can Japanese developers stop making RPGs and start making shooters?' Well, they already did. These 9 third-person shooters are a glimpse into the relatively unknown world of Japanese shooters. And yes, there are no shoot-em-ups here."
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 next part will feature the worst game in the series, any guesses on which one?
