Armored Core 4 Set for PS3 Launch
Plus, a few details on From's next generation mech sim.
by IGN Staff
August 9, 2006 - The latest Armored Core game could be one of the first things you play when you get your PS3 later this year. The latest issue of Famitsu confirms a November Japanese PlayStation 3 release for Armored Core 4, suggesting that the game will arrive either on launch day or shortly thereafter. Famitsu also shares a few details on the game.
Armored Core 4 promises some major changes for the series, including a brand new world. The game takes place in a future version of our world as overpopulation causes shortages of food and resources. Six conglomerates attempt to form a new world order by starting a war. Faced with 30 new types of Armored Core units, people fall to the will of these corporations, and a new world order is formed. People reside in colonies under a system called Pax Economica, which can either be viewed as a form of socialism, or a form of slavery. The game begins five years after this new system has taken effect.
Gameplay details are still pretty scarce. Armored Core 4 promises to offer the fastest battls we've ever seen in a mech game. Of course, the game will feature all the customization we've come to expect from the series, although there may be a few simplifications to help beginners. In addition, while you'll have full control over your mech on the battle field, beginners will be able to automate some tasks.
Famitsu also reveals that the title will include network support for up to eight players. Details beyond this are not provided.
Xbox 360 owners should note that although the PS3 version has been confirmed for November Japanese release, the same cannot be said about the Xbox 360 version. That version is now listed with a TBA date.
With a release timed closely to the PS3's launch, we expect to get hands on time with Armored Core at the Tokyo Game Show. Stay tuned!
