"From Software is on a high at the moment with the success of the brilliant Dark Souls. No one would have ever thought that a game that is so significantly difficult, a game that doesn’t hold your hand, would ever get such well-deserved popularity. Hoping to get the same success with their latest Armored Core game, From Software has changed the mould for the franchise and has instead focused heavily on the online department, something it did once before on the Xbox 360 with Chromehounds. Chromehounds was praised for its online structure, but sadly its servers were taken down two years ago. Armored Core V is here and it could very well be the next thing for lovers of big metal robots who want to battle it out online."
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.
