I’m not a big fan of the series, but as far as I’ve been able to tell, theArmored Coreseries has always been about using big mechs to blow things up. The above screenshot for Ubisoft’s just-announcedArmored Core For Answerfor the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 seems to confirm my suspicions.
The From Software developed title with the curious name will be introducing gigantic boss battles for the first time in the series, allowing players to pilot their mechs into gigantic battle stations to destroy them from the inside out.From Answerwill also feature more than 30 cooperative mission which can be played online, as well as an eight-player multiplayer game with more than 80 battlefields.
I’ve tried to play the games a few times, and always walked away scratching my head by what I felt were complicated controls;From Answeris said to feature two control schemes, one re-worked for beginners. I’m a bit slow, I suppose, and when the game ships this September, maybe it’ll be the firstArmored Coregame I can wrap my tiny brain around.
Press release and more game details (including some story about a rebel resistance and a polluted planet) after the jump.
