Armored Core 4
Armored Core 4 is title in the Armored Core series of video games. It was unveiled in the Tokyo Game Show of fall 2005. Many people believed that Last Raven would be the last Armored Core game in the series, but a teaser movie shown at E3 earlier that year began to spark speculation. Codenamed "Project Force" the game shown at E3 bore striking similarities to previous Armored Core titles. At the Tokyo Game Show From Software later revealed that Project Force was indeed a next generation AC game now known as Armored Core 4. Armored Core 4 is presently being developed for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. While developer From Software has previously created games for the Microsoft system, Armored Core 4 will be the first Armored Core game to appear on the Xbox and the first Armored Core to appear on a non-Sony gaming system.
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. Armored Core 4 will be the first Armored Core game to be fully online, making use of the 360's Xbox Live capabilities, though Zin was unclear about what the game's online features would be. Zin said that instead of focusing on battles, he wanted players to "use the Armored Core units they've created". Online capability for the PlayStation 3 has not been discussed yet. Little has been revealed of the game beyond what as been seen in the three trailers released for the game thus far (the TGS "Project Force" trailer, the E3 2005 announcement trailer and the E3 2006 trailer).
