Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have given us a prolonged take a look at PvP gameplay in Armored Core 6, and it is actually reminding me of the PS3 period of gaming.
I feel lots of people may see the phrases “this jogs my memory of a PS3 recreation,” and really feel worry of their coronary heart, however please belief me once I say that with the best quantity of affection. On Friday (August 18), Bandai Namco held a livestream showcase that gave us considered one of our greatest appears on the upcoming FromSoftware recreation but. Fairly notably, we had a very good lengthy take a look at the sport’s PvP, and all of its fast-paced glory. And at the least to me, it actually appears just like the type of on-line multiplayer expertise we’ve not had for the reason that PS3 days.
Within the recreation’s 3v3 mode, issues are fairly easy: two groups of three face off towards one another, continuously destroying each other, till one staff comes out on high. The demonstration proven off within the livestream, which begins at round 1:08:00 within the video above, is about in a snow lined mountainous space in what appears like a pretend metropolis. Whereas the skybox appears appropriately atmospheric, the battlefield itself appears easy, and actually, I like it.
There is no main bells and whistles to this one, it is simply all about mech-on-mech motion, and it jogs my memory of easier instances on the PS3. On-line was nonetheless a brand new idea throughout the PS3’s time, so most video games weren’t overly difficult, and as somebody who hasn’t performed almost as a lot on-line since then, I welcome Armored Core 6’s simplicity.
We additionally acquired a take a look at the 1v1 mode at round 2:01:04, which appears prefer it is likely to be extra interesting to the Souls-heads who crave that combat to the dying vitality video games like Darkish Souls and Elden Ring present of their respective on-line elements.
Armored Core 6 is due out August 25, just a few quick days away now, and will probably be out there on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Sequence X/S, and PC.
