armored core 6

watching these trailers I get the distinct sense that this is one of the few genres that really did peak circa the PS3 (something about the pseudo-claustrophobia of the environments coupled with the very loose narration and the stacked particle effects), which isn’t to say that this won’t be good, just that very few other games are consciously calling back to that era at all and I’m very curious to see how successfully they do that

EA and From are probably the two devs whose late PS3 titles hold up and are still conspicuously inaccessible, as many remasters as we’ve gotten lately, I have to imagine a 4+5+4A+VD remake pack would really do numbers after this

though maybe I have a superstitiousness about PS3 emulation never having become as clean or as straightforward as prior generations which I don’t bat an eye at
