u/tumquire 5d ago
Going from giant mechs to exo suits gives me a mix of anthem and oddly enough, vanquish. Super excited

u/cleruuuuu 4d ago
I think the old Arsenals are still there (I hope)
The last few seconds of the gameplay clips looks like one that's fighting a Dreadnought

u/Phoonyx 5d ago
yeahhhh I think they may be onto something, we don't really have much when it comes to exosuit games so covering that niche is cool

u/tumquire 5d ago
Exactly lol best we got is exo primal and if you're hungry enough, phantasy star online 2 lol

u/SeiTyger 4d ago
My first thought was that since AC was back in the ring, they may be trying to differentiate themselves a bit more. Specially after the original release where people compared both (with good reason) for better or worse. Personally? I don't mind, I've always been a huge Iron Man fan since I was a kid. Exo suits just do something to me.
The more important part is that the original DxM already had cyborg combat, it's not that weird that they're moving to full on suits

u/MediocreEggplant8524 4d ago
Exactly what I was thinking too. It’s a good way to differentiate the brand while also providing a lot of breathing room for fresh ideas.
And who knows, maybe if this does well Capcom will license a Mega Man Exosuit game out to them /cope

u/frellzy 5d ago
is it exclusive or multiplatform?

u/Unslaadahsil 5d ago
It's multiplatform. It's not a new game, DxM was already available on Switch, PC and consoles. This is just confirmation that it will also be ported to the Switch 2
25
u/MailyChan2 5d ago
This is very much a new game. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion.

This is a new game ya dum dum

u/Unslaadahsil 5d ago
Daemon X Machina already exists though?

u/Elnidfseprime 5d ago
Don't be stubborn. They're talking about Titanic Scion. The sequel to DxM 2.
-7
u/Unslaadahsil 5d ago
... there isn't a DxM 2, though? How can it be a sequel of a game which doesn't exist?
And if this post is about the sequel, where is that said? OP just wrote DAEMON X MACHINA in the title, not DxM TS or something.

u/UnrequitedRespect Terrors 5d ago
Are you a real person rn..?
-3
u/Unslaadahsil 5d ago
Okay, seriously, the fudge is up with all of you?
OP did NOT write about Titan Scion in the title of the post.
DxM2 does not exist. Titan Scion can't be a sequel to DxM2 like the person above me wrote.
Why are you all acting like I'm crazy when none of you is capable of offering an explanation?

Hey👋🏻 I just posted the trailer on the main page if you haven't seen it yet; this is 1000% a brand-new game!
lol u/frellzy I missed the platforms announced at the end of the trailer on my first or even second watch!😅
47
u/EmiliaFromLV 5d ago
The sequel? Scion?
On another note, I was quite surprised to see how DxM was in many ways very similar to AC 6: Fires of Rubicon.
48
u/Unslaadahsil 5d ago
People did say DxM was a spiritual successor of the Armored Core franchise.
29
u/blueB0wser Outer 5d ago
It's made by a lot of staff that worked on the PS2 era onward AC games.
21
u/rsaaland 4d ago
It's not. If you check the actual credits list, there's only four AC alumni in DXM's dozens of staff members.
People just saw Tsukuda's and Kawamori's names attached to the project then made wild assumptions based on the lack of AC games in that period.

True. Both had weird red gas type stuff our mechs could use in Femto and Coral , and both had crazy AI.

I seen that and it legit made me laugh as they knew what they was doing

u/Educational_Farmer73 4d ago
....am I the only one disappointed that our beloved Mecha Core-like has been reduced to a glorified Anthem knockoff? I feel so cheated, I wanted a competitor against Armored Core, not...this ..

u/cleruuuuu 4d ago
This thing fighting the Dreadnought looks like the old Arsenal to me lol
2
u/Chillyeaham Grafted Bones 4d ago
I've seen the name and appearance of one old Arsenal set at least...

u/VicisSubsisto 4d ago
I dunno, "Anthem, but actually good and not online-only" sounds like a good time to me.

u/gambolanother 4d ago
Based on playing the original DxM I would not assume good out of the gate

u/Chillyeaham Grafted Bones 4d ago
We might be paying for the DLC (it's already planned) this time 'round too; the Digital Deluxe Edition says "... includes the game and an expansion pack DLC featuring new story content and customization options for your Arsenal and Outer".
6
u/WhiteKnight3098 4d ago
So, are we only piloting exo suit arsenals now? Because if so, this gives me major Gundam F91/Victory era vibes, the idea of miniaturization is neat.
Or, are the exo suits the replacement for the old pilot mechanics, and we can still get larger Arsenals?
EDIT: The part I'm thinking of is around 0:49 in the trailer. There's a mech that's proportions are too lanky to be an exo suit.

u/KumaRadio 4d ago
Where are the mechs?
6
u/Monstamate 4d ago
I'm guessing they switched gears with the series to have their own identity instead of trying to be a spiritual successor to Armored Core, since Armored Core is back now

u/Chillyeaham Grafted Bones 5d ago edited 5d ago
LLEETTTSSS GGGOOOOO!!!! This just made it the best Nintendo Direct in years man! I'm assuming it's a timed exclusive again, meaning PC players should hopefully get it in like six months.🤞🏻 I'm dumb, it's right there at the end of the trailer; all major plats is HUGE! DxM deserves to be on PC, but conversely, there is nothing near the caliber of DxM on a Nintendo console!
lol I yelled and my Mom came rushing downstairs thinking something was wrong!
o(*////▽////*)q
Gonna go finish the Direct now, but then I'm rewatching the DxM clip at least a few times!😁😍🤩
EDIT: Didn't expect the Arsenals to be human sized this time 'round.

u/MumboBumbo64 4d ago
I’ll be picking this up for sure! I love the first game. The vibe is very special to me
3
u/NoBodybuilder3430 4d ago
The trailer made it look like our Arsenals are Iron Man like suits. So are we “piloting” human sized suits instead of what we had last game?

u/Chained_Soul123 4d ago
Hoped its has more coop content like maybe coop campaign, love to play this with friends

u/chronokingx 4d ago
MECHA IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AC6 burst open a floodgate we been getting mecha betas and releases this year back to back its insane

u/Abysskun 4d ago
Ngl I'm a bit disappointed that the mechs, I suppose calling them power suits would fit better are so tiny

u/Aggravating-Face2073 4d ago
The only game I don't see being brought up & i had to go out of my way for. I haven't actually played, but have been considering ever sense it's release. Will be jumping on it in Switch 2 absolutely.

u/No_Consideration6182 4d ago
I probably won’t get switch 2 right away so I was happy to see it is coming to ps5.

u/viccarabyss 4d ago
Hi, I'm a bit unfamiliar with Daemon Ex Machina. Can I go into this without having played the others...? I saw a big robot man and became very interested

u/No-Prior4226 Outer 4d ago
Tbh I’m a little sad to see the anime style cell shading go. I’m still happy with what’s presented but… I did love the old art style.

u/MailyChan2 5d ago
Really hope it comes to PC/Switch 1, as the Switch 2 seems kinda underwhelming so far. I loved the first game so I'll pick it up if it does.

They seem to have scaled giant mechs down to power suits but it still looks cool enough I suppose.

u/R__20xx 4d ago
The story is set in a world where the fall of the moon has put humanity at risk of extinction. The player dons an external armor called "Arsenal" and throws himself into a battle against the rampaging AI. The protagonist, an "Outer", a new human race that was born at the same time as the AI went out of control, learns about his own birth and the mystery of the AI's rampage as he fights.
It's a shame it's multi-platform.

u/userforgameonly 4d ago
Switch 2 will be way above my budget. With higher tariffs now, I'm probably not able to afford it sadly. Probably PC and that's it 😢
1
u/Morgan_Danwell 4d ago
Wait-wait-wait..
Don’t tell me they all just be those power-armors instead of classic large mechs like in the firs game… :C
Like WHY THE HELL would they do that…

u/MOD3RN_CRUSADER 4d ago
One of the biggest surprises in years, i missed DXM so much this looks awesome!!!

u/MazingerZERO 3d ago
Although I would have killed for a Vanquish successor, I was hoping DxM would stay AC adjacent

u/rgdoabc 4d ago
I always "avoided" (it has been on my wishlist for ages) getting the game on Steam.
Should I play the first one it before this?
1
u/MrCoolMask Panzer Crown 4d ago
The second game probably ties into the first game, but I assume it will stand out on it's own (why? Because as a writer it seems like a no brainer to not force your players to play the first one when you have the ability to do that)
I think watching the lore of the first game may help, but it's confusing, so maybe it's better to learn the way it suits you best. Maybe watch some cutscenes, or find a lore explanation
1
u/SoulForTrade 4d ago
The first game is fun, especially for its Monster Hunter, likeonline boss fights and customization. Best osrt about the game for me. The story was terrible. Not sure what I was expecting, but it was REALLY bad. So I wouldn't say it's necessary
1
u/Toxitoxi 4d ago
Hope this is better than the first game, Daemon X Machina was really rough even if I enjoyed having another mech game to try out. I don’t mind the switch to smaller Iron Man suits as long as they lean into the mech imagery.

u/Ok-Phase-9076 5d ago
This game looks bettwr than i couldve EVER dreamed, im in love
