It’s certainly a niche genre, but it’s one that has gained plenty of fans down through the years thanks to a number of genuinely immersive titles that put you right at the heart of the action. The thoughts of taking on wave after wave of enemies in your mech suit, forging a deadly combination of man and machine, are exhilarating and full of so much promise that it can often be hard to resist the temptation to jump back in for yet another mission."
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.
"We’ll gladly throw our hands up and admit that we’ve not had all that much experience with the series beyond brief plays here and there"
In other words, n00bs. Learn how to play and the 5v5 is enough action anyone can ask for
to each his own lol 9/10 for me though however im a long time fan. been playing since 1998 and i love the series. i also happen to think this is the best one yet it is however not for everyone.
if the story was easier to follow and there was a tad more variety in the missions, id have given it 10/10
