Like, before Dark Souls nobody gave a single solitary fuck about this series and now suddenly everyone's creaming their pants at the new trailer.

Has anyone even considered that this isn't going to be Elden Ring with mechs? This series always seemed like it was for a bit of a niche audience, and some of the games in it were downright awful. I never got into it myself because of the awkward controls and sleep inducing gameplay.
Like comparing the Souls to King's Field... Sekiro to Tenchu..
2009 - Demon's Souls
2011 - Dark Souls
2014 - Dark Souls II
2015 - Bloodborne
2016 - Dark Souls III
2019 - Sekiro
2022 - Elden Ring
There's a world of difference with From Software games pre-2009 and since Miyakazi found this niche.
Idk, maybe I'm wrong or I'm just misinformed about it, but seems to me like everyone's getting hyped for all the wrong reasons, and we haven't even seen the actual gameplay yet. If it's gonna be anything like the previous installments in this series, then I can't wait to witness the collective reality check that everyone's going to experience come the release date.
We saw the trailer today and it's already felt that their experience with the past years is influecing AC VI.
The encounters are a lot more closer and personal with fight mechanics that have parries/dodges/melee/shield. Which is not necessarily that they were not in previous Armored core games, but they had a weird sense of scale where enemies were just basically target reticles or MONSTER sized mechs and they were bullet sponges with janky animations and controls. The environment just felt like this is an arena... right let's sprinkle buildings here and there. No cohesion in the world scale.
From this target mess jank (which had a crowd, me partially)
To this :
Could replace assets and you would have a Sekiro fight
World scale/design from this
To this
From this
To this
Very not the same
From's artists are fucking out of control, they're nailing it EVERY games for years now. This is entirely on another level compared to old franchise.
It's motherfucking Mechiro!
