Ol’ mate Todd Howard took to the stage to talk, of course, about Starfield, which releases in two weeks. There was also a live action trailer, which personally I always think are kinda odd.
With only four days left, From and Bandai have given us the official launch trailer for Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon.
Between Baldur’s Gate, this and Starfield shortly thereafter, we’re truly spoiled for choice!
A new Armored Core IV showcase from Bandai Namco and FromSoftware revealed new lore, gameplay and offered a first glimpse of its PVP Online Mode.
Armored Core IV launches August 25 (next week!) - can’t wait.
I was ready to bounce off, intimidated by its depth and pacing, but this game is truly something else. Great writing, VA, world design and more than anything, an obscene level of player agency.
Honestly surprising it took as long as it did for this game to happen. Third person, Foddian, Twitch-bait. Not my thing, but it fills a hole in the market and meets expectations. The (since replaced) asset-flip stuff was p bad.
By all reports not a good PC port, but otherwise an impressive visual feast and surprisingly fun at least for a short period. I never got overly into the franchise, but this does a lot right and is quite charming.
Has come a pretty long way since its predecessor was “just an attempt at a soulslike with guns”. Fantastic visual and sound design, great characterisation and world design. Way more fun with friends.
Expands on everything from the first one, and fixes some of the annoyances. Short, sweet and super sick - play it before it gets banned in Australia, like the first one. #FREEUZZI 🚬
Extraordinarily good art, great music and very well put together. Runs are challenging; there’s quite a lot of cognitive load and mistakes are punished hard - but it’s fun as hell.
