    HELL FUCKING YEAH!

    It's been nearly a decade since the last AC game and it's been too damn long for us customized mecha fans. Armored Core is one of the key gaming franchises in my gaming history and I cannot be more excited for this. The cinematic looks amazing and I think it adequately shows the "continuing to attack" gameplay that Masaru Yamamura mentioned.

    That said, this interviewer really needs to work on her interviewing skills as nearly half of the 20 questions translate to...

    IGN: So is this going to be mecha Soulsborne?
    Hidetaka Miyazaki: No.

    IGN: So is this going to be mecha Sekiro?
    Masaru Yamamura: No.

    IGN: So is this going to be a little bit mecha Sekiro?
    Masaru Yamamura: No.

    IGN: So Sekiro has swords, Armored Core has swords, so is this going to be mecha Sekiro with guns?
    Masaru Yamamura: No.

    IGN: So is this going to be mecha Elden Ring?
    Hidetaka Miyazaki: No.

    IGN: Armored Core may not be trying to be a Soulsborne game, but you make Soulsborne games, so is this going to be mecha Soulsborne?
    Hidetaka Miyazaki: No

    IGN: What is Armored Core VI's approach to difficulty? Please say it's really hard so that we can run the headline that it's Armored Core 6: Soulsborne!
    Masaru Yamamura: No.

    IGN: So you didn't buy our ruse about AC6:Soulsborne, how about calling it AC6:Sekiro?
    Masaru Yamamura: No.

    IGN: So what you're telling me is it's an Armored Core game with AC gameplay, AC mechanics, AC difficulty, AC worldbuilding, AC story, and that you know what you're doing because you've made every Armored Core game, it was the second IP you ever made, predates everything Souls and even predates me, but you also make Sekiro and Elden Ring and Dark Souls and those get us a lot of clicks so I have to ask why isn't this AC6:SekiroDarkSoulsborne?
    Hidetaka Miyazaki: Because it's Armored Core, not a soulslike.


    This is the reason I just watch trailers and not consume "gaming media/reviews/news", it's just so shit.
