Armored Core for PSP will not only allow players to take part in the usual mecha battles typical of the franchise. With the introduction of the new "AI Arena" feature, it will also let you turn mechas in technological pokemons that will battle each other 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2 while controlled by the artificial intelligence over the "ad hoc" connection.
Trendy Gamers: For Part 2 of our history of the Armored Core series, we’ll be looking at the early PlayStation 2-era games, starting with Armored Core 2 and going up to Silent Line: Armored Core.
The next part will feature the worst game in the series, any guesses on which one?
DC writes: "One of the things that separated the ACs from the MWs (Mechwarrior) is the storyline. In previous versions of AC the storyline was overblown, nearly anime-ish. If you know anything about anime it's that the stories tend to be outrageously over-detailed and confusing for the viewers (unless you love that stuff). In the last Playstation 3 version that I played in 2008, the story seem to over-complicate itself by forcing the user to choose which corporation they worked for and provided a backstory for that corporation. Each corporation's story gave new missions and reasons why other corporations were bad."
CheatCC says, "If you can get a group of friends to partake of the Ad Hoc multiplayer mode, you will generate a bit more enjoyment from the game listening to your friends freak when they can't control their Core. Misery loves company."
