Didn't the JP PSN store have one?

Do we know which version is better?
I think it was a timed demo and is now gone. Think some people put it on USBs and got it working through that though, so it might be worth checking out.

Yeah I can understand that of course. I never really got Into the multiplayer in 4 and I never got around to even buying 4answer so I never ran into that. I do remember feeling that boost was waaaaay too long in AC4 even with stock parts..
After a few days of playing 4 online, I decided to use 4 Kojima weapons and see how fast I could get kicked out of matches. D:
Well here's what I can say so far. Embargoes and the like...
It's Armored Core to its....core. It's just slower than previous installments. But faster than say, Chromehounds which it draws a lot of its inspiration for the online from.
If you're an Armored Core 4/4Answer fan you might be disappointed - there's 0 flying
If you're not a fan of " " "/" " you will be happy there's 0 flying

Sounds fine for me.

Does anyone know if this has full campaign co op or will it be like the last game in which only select missions are going to be co op?

Yes, as stated - all missions are available for Co-Op: Story, Order, and Conquest missions.
You cannot "Quick Match" to grab players, but if you're part of a Team you can have them Rendezvous with you and you can start a mission together.
And the Mercenary program isn't working as not too many people are playing. But you can set yourself up to be hired to help people who aren't on your team to complete missions.
The game is fun, but a lot of things are putting me off.

This game seems amazing from the videos.
I've got this pre-ordered for PS3. I'll be playing through the single player first, but looking forward to getting some online action in with some gaffers. My nick on PSN is Striketh, so feel free to add me.
I'm a an AC newb (I was OK by the end of For Answer and only played online a couple times due to lag and everyone going ape shit with swords).
This looks like it won't have that problem. I'll probably play a recon unit.

Added!
One thing I'm wondering from those that have played this already, are the heavier mechs actually viable in this game? I recall in AC4 and For Answer that making a beefy mech was, ultimately, pointless in the end. You had all this armor, and bad ass weapons, but couldn't hit shit. And you'd still get 1 - 2 shotted anyway by people flying around in light weight mechs with swords.
While I intend on making a light weight mech, I do get urges to run a medium to heavy mech at times (and depending on the situation) and want to make sure I'm not going to be useless in multiplayer situations.

Will be getting this game. Hopefully there are some decent sized community to play with.

Why won't Amazon offer release date delivery
while have it for other games release on the same day (Resident Evil: ORC, Ninja Gaiden 3, and even Silent Hill HD collection)

I just tried to preorder it, and I didn't see it as an option. Is RDD Prime only?
Shouldn't be. I've had prime for years, though. Since you're not actually charged until it ships, try pre-ordering it on Amazon and see if they give you release date delivery. If not, I suppose you can just cancel it.
They go by pre-orders I think, in some cases. There's times when I pre-order and it doesn't show release date delivery, but then they add it later. I guess in some cases they need to verify that they have the supply to meet the demand (based on my best guess) before outright offering it.
Why don't you just contact their support? Pre-order it, and either hop on their live chat or go the email route. They're obviously doing release date delivery since I have it.
I just talked to the customer support. He didn't know what is going on and told me to get one day shipping instead (lol no, I'm not paying $10+ shipping fees). I guess I'll leave my order as is and wait until tomorrow if anything come up.
Does your order still have RDD? I got the same email but when I checked my order the next day, I had 2-day free shipping again.
Doesn't bother me too much though since I don't have time to play until Friday.
as far as i'm concerned, the tank legs are crippled in terms of mobility at the moment, they can't continously boost upwards and they can't wall jump, that means they can't scale walls as easily, their overboost is laughable, they have one of the shittiest turn rates. if you so happen to dropped down to the river bank, then you have to find a ramp to get back up, it's really stupid. Really, the only time you would want to use tank legs is to use those mounted weapons.
Heavy Bipeds are more viable, they get all the advantage from a Biped, they have reasonable load capacity, in defenses they all lean towards Thermal defense.
There's almost no blade tracking in this game, and the blades themselves have very long cool downs as well so they can't be spammed.
It says the 23rd in my order list, but I buy pretty much exclusively off Amazon and this happened in the past. If they send me an email saying that I have release date delivery for a game, then it'll arrive on the release date regardless of what it says in the order tracker.
Sounds shitty. It seems like the heavy mechs are shit compared to the lighter mechs. The low mobility is expected, but they should be able to at least boost well enough to get around. Without that, they're just going to be sitting ducks while people in lighter mechs dance circles around them.
I am glad to hear that the blades aren't an IWIN button in this game, though.

How is the sp campaign? I don't have online and I'm renting this Tuesday. Thanks.
So, you guys completely skipped over hteng's posts?

tanks can one shot lights if they happen to be dancing between it's sights. Those mounted weapons does incredible amount of damage in a short span of time. There's this pulse cannon that spreads like a shotgun but explode on impact and it pretty much creates a wall of death infront of the tank.
unless the lightweight is using a pilebunker (and the most powerful one), and you know how hard it is to hit anything with a pilebunker, it's not easy to kill a tank in one hit.
Ah ok. One of the problems with heavy vs light in AC4 and For Answer was that the bullets/lasers were too slow to keep up with the lighter mechs. If they've alleviated that problem, then I can see them being viable. That's really how it should be - if some dude in a light mech hops around a corner and takes a blast from a heavy tank, they should be pretty much fucked.
I'll have to try them all out to see which I like best. I'm kind of thinking a light to medium mech that snipes and uses beam swords. Dual pistols could be fun too (if they have pistols in this game), though. Not that I'd be able to kill much with two light weight weapons, but it'd serve my purposes for scouting.

Will I be able to import over my 100% For Answer save file?
AC5 is a stand alone game, and a reboot of the series. There's no save importing from previous iterations in the series. This is the 5th reboot, and the 14th AC game.
Oh man, I was able to 100% AC4 but when I saw the MP achievements in FA, I didn't bother trying lol.

Ah Ok. Thanks
heh, neither did I, i know the fact there will be at least another game/expansion for the same universe though, judging by From's track record.
ie: AC1, AC1: project phantasma, AC1: master of arena, AC2, AC2: another age, AC3, AC3: Silent Line, AC3: Nexus, AC3: Nine Breaker, AC3 Last Raven, AC4, AC4: For Answer..etc
I'm honestly surprised that AC has been around as long as it has. I don't think any of the games have ever sold great - just OK to subpar, yet they keep making them. Here's hoping that the series continues to grow in popularity.
It says a lot about this series, though, to have such a dedicated fan base. I fear that the other mech games coming out will steal some of its fan base, away, however.
