"The Armored Core franchise was the daddy of all mech games and a much loved series of games from the original PS One days. The Armored Core series has seen better days in terms of units sold and the actual quality of the last few games. Armored Core V is hoping to finally be the return to form that the Armored Core series desperately needs and this time around it looks like Armored Core is finally back, with a huge mech fist punch to the face for the mech combat genre."
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
Haze was nowhere near as bad as it was made out to be. I actually really liked it.
It was just released at a bad time when Sony and the PS3 could do no right. The developers and Sony over hyped it and it fell on its own sword.
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.

Erm, What?
Does that make MechWarrior and MechWarrior 2 the granddaddy and great-granddaddy? I have got to say that no console mecha game has ever come close to MW2 or MW3, for me, and I'm a HUGE mech fan.
AC V has me somewhat interested, however. I may finally have to bite. The last AC I tried (on the PS2) was... not so good.

Just a few more days. It's going to be great piloting a Core again but I will somewhat miss the Kojima technology in the fourth installment....
