Something just dawned on me based on a convo with
@Animal House about build variety and reading the convo in here about the game being “like” dark souls or not.
What people are missing is that the Dark Souls games are already just an extension of the Armored core formula.
The big draw of the AC gsmes is the customization sandbox of building your mech then testing it out against enemies.
They didn’t have the budget or technology to build large and detailed levels or epic bosses back in the day. It was all about the sandbox.
In dark souls their budget and technology improved to the point where they were able to make a fully realized game world instead of just sandbox arenas.
In all this time praying for a new AC game i hadn’t even realized it’s been DS scratching this itch for me the entire time.
DS is just an extension of the AC formula. All the way down to the vague storytelling, and vague explanation of game mechanics, weapons and items. It’s all ment for you the player to learn experiment and figure things out yourself in the sandbox they built.
So in that sense i think the game WILL be very similar to the DS games. And i think it will appeal to people for the same reasons. Even tho the gameplay itself will feel very different. This is just the From formula coming back full circle with AC finally being able to be fully realized.
I just hyped myself the fukk up again typing this out. I camt fukkin wait. I’m not playing anything else for a while.
