Armored Core 4 giving online mech battles on PS3 and Xbox 360
In Armored Core 4 developer From Software reinvigorates the mech action series with all-new storyline, environments, and online capability.
The 10th anniversary of the franchise will be punctuated with a leap to PS3 and Xbox 360 in March 2007 that will ensure the highest quality in both gameplay and visual performance.
Key features are:
* Multiplayer functionality allows up to eight players to battle online.
* Join one of six factions specializing in different aspects of battle.
* 30 missions played out in detailed futuristic 3D environments.
* Fly through canyons and rip through cities battling multiple enemies.
* Deploy “Quick Boost” and “Over Boost” features for precise explosive movement and precision control of AC units.
* Engage “Primal Armor” the all-new defense shield that adjusts its strength according to specific battle conditions.
Series producer and From Software CEO Naotoshi Zin noted in an interview with IGN that Armored Core 4 would feature multiple AC opponents and a reworked damage system that would be more “precise” than previous generation AC games. Players will also be able to customize every aspect of their Armored Core much in the way that the Gran Turismo series allows players to customize their racing cars for optimal performance. According to Zin, Armored Core 4 would allow players to create their own 100% original AC.
