Armored Core V is the fourteenth entry into From Software and Namco Bandai’s mech battling game series. How is that possible, you ask? Well, if you’ve been reading my History of Armored Core, you’ll know this series only places a number on its titles when it has something important in store for the player. Numbered Armored Cores are game changers—literally—they are From Software’s way of rolling out new game engines and/or universe reboots; Armored Core V is no exception here. For better and for worse, ACV sports the most radical changes to the time-tested Armored Core formula to date. So, let’s switch over to Combat Mode and see if it can take a few hits, shall we?

John GodGames Emus has released some new videos, showing Haze, Afro Samurai, Armored Core V and Clash of the Titans running in 4K on the PC thanks to the Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
Whatever happened to Afro Samurai 2? After they took it off the digital store I thought they’d come back with an improved product
The framerate and rending were more of the concern over resolution for me, and I can see they are making solid strides. Haze runs pretty well and doesn't seem to have many graphical or audio glitches (one cannot say the same for Ghost Recon lol). Given Sony hasn't provided any real backwards compatibility options, this is something I might consider. I still have my PS3 hooked up if I have a hankering for some last gen goodness, but I also wouldn't mind playing those games with either increased resolution or frame rate, whenever the emulator gets to that point :-)
Sometimes, regular old firepower just isn’t enough, and you have to dip into that high-powered futuristic technology to get the job done.
The Armored Core V server is going to be shut down later this month worldwide, From Software and Bandai Namco have recently announced.
