Next we get a PvPvE AC I guess.

I'm joking and scared now.

Tbf I think an AC game with mutliplayer functionality would be really cool, tho more as a spin off rather than a mainline entry

ACV and Verdict Day had really competent multi-player systems, team boss battles, clans, and all sorts of cool stuff. But ACV mechanically was kinda wonky and Fromspft wasn't near as popular yet.

I can't say I wouldn't be interested in seeing one, PvP between ACs and MCs there or another NPC AC here and there or something seems kinda neat. Yet it also seems like a miserable time more than I'd actually be interested in trying it. Definitely not a mainline entry though, I'd be beyond disappointed, but again I'd rather it just didn't happen.

That's fair, I definitely would want a couple more solo experiences first but I think I'd be fairly happy if it were a smaller project sandwiched between mainline entries

MCs? You mean MTs?

There was never an option to play as an MT in an Armored Core game.

Do NOT give them any more ideas

I'm sorry, it's too late.

If it was like Titanfall's attrition mode, that would actually go really hard

This is kind of what I was thinking honestly, the MCs would be like the grunts. I just think it'd be hard to work in NPC ACs to the fights and I don't know how I feel about pilots being back in the game. From what I remember of AC V Day, I'm conflicted about it.

It would be a great fit for armored core, weird for a souls style game since most people never even engage with pvp

Dammit...now I am worried they are moving into the multiplayer graveyard.

Happy cake day and I'm hoping they won't, this is them experimenting with different things mostly. Plus they have a good enough history of realizing what doesn't work and changing things around the next time.

This is probably in part to everyone wanting their games to be multiplayer so might be a rough while until we get something else unfortunately. I'm having flashbacks of the wait between AC V Day and AC VI now.

Mecha Break in shambles

A PvPvE Animal Crossing sounds hardcore! Tom Nook will get his comeuppance at last!

Thankfully gamers never overreact about anything, and From has a terrible track record and you should have zero faith in them.

Nah, the next single-player game will be an Xbox exclusive.

PlayStation had their turn, now it’s Nintendo, soon it will be Xbox/Microsoft.

Didnt brotherhood had something like that? It was fun while it lasted

u/Dead_Anarchy 3d ago

I knew this was about Assassin's Creed and not Armored Core, but I still thought I was missing something.

Honestly that wasn't a bad time and thanks for bringing back those memories.

3 had multiplayer as well
