No thanks From. Stay with Soulsborne.

With an avatar like that, I believe it 100%.

It's the perfect time. PGI's publisher just canned all future mechwarrior development per reddit announcement. The already bad mech drought just got worse. We could use this game!

It sounds like they are though, just a sci-fi version of it. I suppose you could say dark fantasy is inherent to the genre though.

Didn’t Miyazaki say they were working on this years ago?
I'm like the opposite ...incant wait until soulslike are dead and buried underground

It’s powerful enough to handle The Witcher 3! It’s more than enough to handle games like Dark Souls 3 or Sekiro

Hope so. It's been a while since we had a good mech game. Then after that they should make a new King's Field. Loved playing those when I was younger. And with Elder Scrolls being exclusive to Xbox and PC going forward, I bet they could rake in a lot of sales on the PS5 and Switch.

They've set their twitter banner to an Armored Core art a couple of years ago.
People thought it was a tease for some new game, but nothing came out of it.
The New ‘Armored Core’ Themed Banner On FromSoftware’s Twitter Account Is Nothing To Get Excited About
For those that follow FromSoftware’s Twitter account, you will have noticed an 'Armored Core' themed banner appearing. However, it’s unlikely that this means anything pertaining to a new game.www.forbes.com
This is what I was referring to:
Miyazaki Confirms New Armored Core and "Weird" New Title
Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed that a third Armored Core game is in development at FromSoftware along with a new 'weird' title.

What is the consumer actually begging for these days outside of pew pew?
Since that announcement I think some key AC people quit to make daemon x machina, which strikes me as a bit weird if FROM were actively trying to revive AC. I'm guessing whatever he was referring to was cancelled or at least put on hold for many years.This is what I was referring to:

Why are Sony zealots like this? Lmao. Armored Core has never been exclusive and SCEJ is dead and buried. Unless you want San Francisco types getting their hands on FROM games there is no reason to want this.
Well.. not actually "key" people! it's just a PR guy and one of the mech designers. not a big deal.

But graphically W3 on Switch is butchered to get it to run as it does.

The comparisons to Virtual-On sound promising - I loved playing those games at Mr. Gatti's as a kid. While I love Souls combat, something closer to the pace of Sekiro seems more appropriate for a mech game focusing on energy swords and long range combat.

Awesome if true
So back in 2017 IGN interviewed Ty Franck, co-creator and writer of The Expanse, where he mentioned that he did work with FromSoftware on something he couldn't actually discuss due to an NDA.
https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/02/03/dark-souls-developers-have-worked-with-the-expanse-writer
So, either this is the project he worked on with them, or there's some other unannounced project.

Am I dumb in thinking it's this announcement?

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Mobile gacha games make the most money for the least investment, every dev, every team within a dev should make those instead! From Software made Monster Hunter Diary: Poka Poka Airou Village DX after Dark Souls II & Bloodborne. Thanks to Souls they can afford to do what they want.
Is there an AC game that feels like piloting massive walking (or hovering, or wheeled or flying or whatever options) war machines or similar rather than a janky third person shooter where the character is a clunky robot and relies on massive amounts of auto aim while you just dodge like mad?
Other than the customization which in and of itself doesn't really save a game I never understood what people saw in them since the PS1 days and looking at footage of the later entries it seems they didn't deviate from that initial formula, just became a bit less clunky/doubled down on flight.
If they actually tried to make it feel more simy like say, the first couple of Gungriffon games or MechWarrior, that'd totally be my jam, but I doubt they're gonna do that as apparently the series has fans and these games are pretty far from the style they like. Maybe go for ZOE or Gundam style?

Doubt they make way too much money with Souls shit and big robots don't sell in the West.

I don't understand a lot of the replies here, with people being angry at this because they want souls game.
I find it kind of sad, are From Software not allowed to do anything else than souls games anymore? Forever? That's quite limiting. It also seems hugely exagerrated, you have Elden Ring coming out next month, but people are still pissed off by the idea of something different maybe coming out in the future?

OMG, hoping From Software includes multiplayer that's inspired by this...
