Confirmed by From Software at the "Armored Core Championship Tournament 2009 Series 2" event. There's no info beyond the game simply existing yet, but the timing falls right in place with Famitsu's claim last week about a "popular Robot action game" being revealed in this weeks issue.

Game was awesome. 'nuff said from me.

Sometimes I get the urge to hook up the PS3 and go back to playing FA. Especially against Arms Forts.

Continue to leave out radiators, get rid of the co-op restrictions, add the co-op for up to four players and I'll buy Day 1.

I thought in For Answer that both people had to have finished the mission before it could be played co-op, which sounded like a silly restriction to me.

Don't know. I did all my co-op once I already had gotten the S rank. I later on for fun just replayed the game over and over again on hard on Co-op with badboiu, and even with double loss for ammo and damage we still S ranked every available mission.

The annoying part is that a lot of the missions aren't playable in co-op. Specifically the ones that involve you deploying with a forced partner. Like the final mission.

Though attacking the cranium doesn't force someone on you, yet still not co-op able.

And for the love of god go back to AC4s achievements. For Answers were just retarded.

Yeah, AC4 had some easy achievements. I almost 1000/1000'd it.

I did get the 1000, which was why only getting 600 or so from FA sucked even though I accomplished the same things. (get SS rank, clear all arena matches, etc).

Even just moving up in rank is a pain in the ass in FA. Especially when no one even plays online ranked matches. Just the same 9 or so people doing player.

Here's a more detailed summary of some of the new stuff in AC5.

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3177593

Quote:
 
One aspect of this new approach is the Over Weapon system, powerful offense that has the capability of one-hit killing an adversary -- although actually pulling this off is very difficult. "Up to now, the battles were centered around how well you could dodge your opponent's attacks while firing away and gradually whittling down his AP," Nabeshima noted. "That's fun, of course, but once one side has an AP advantage over the other, it became difficult to come back from that. This system dramatically changes that battle balance."

Ugh, that sounds so stupid. Especially for battles where they pit 5 god damn ACs against you at once with no help like the last stage on the Hitler route.

Maybe they'll design levels differently this time?

I honestly like the idea of making battles less about slow whittling down of opponent's health. It sounds like it could make things more quick and intense.

That was just a manga, never an anime.

Fort Tower Song is still listed on animenewsnetwork.com but I've heard nothing about it in years. There's a manga, Tower City Blade, that you can find online and I believe a fan translation might be in the works.

The scale difference is huge now. They're practically now around the size of Knightmare Frames. Like C.C.'s Gawain or so.
