StrategyInformer - My love of mechs, whether they be in games, anime or whatever else, can be traced back to one thing: The original 1980's Transformers cartoon. This has actually nothing to do with the Armored Core franchise, but in the interest of disclosure I thought it best you guys knew where I was coming from. So, from a Japanese show about transforming robots to a Japanese game about customizable robots, let's take a look at the fourteenth iteration of the series: Armored Core V.
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.
