Following on from the summary breakdown, there’s now a singleplayer video for Armored Core V over at From Software’s YouTube channel, as well as another live recording from Frequency (suitably Armored Core V themed to boot). There’s only one more video breakdown to go before the end of December.

Following on from the team breakdown, there’s now a game summary (or “sammary”) video for Armored Core V over at From Software’s YouTube channel. This covers the campaign setup in some detail but, again, nothing that we don’t already know. There are two more breakdown moves planned by the end of December.

What with the veritable clusterfuck of gaming releases over the past few months, Armored Core V has wisely kept quiet so as to wait for a gap in the PR orgy. So From Software have opted to start showing informed videos on their YouTube channel, that are linked off the official site. 4Gamer picked up the first of these about the game’s team play setup. It doesn’t really go into too much we don’t already know, but it does collate most of the relevant information into a quick coherent package. There will be follow up videos throughout December as well, so we’ll be keeping an eye out for those too.

For those who haven’t heard the news, Capcom is accepting emblem designs for the upcoming Xbox 360 pseudo-sequel. The deadline is November 15th, 11:59pm, which depending on where you live, is either a little less than 24 hours away, or a little over.

Capcom of America, UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan (naturally) are all taking part. Each region has it’s own preferred method of accepting submissions; because I live in the US, I’ll simply pass along Capcom Unity’s blog post on the matter, which can redirect all interested parties to his or her local branch of Capcom.

Though what’s being asked is fairly consistent across the board: 512×512 pixels, preferably a layered Photoshop file, though jpegs, pngs, tiffs, and bitmaps are also accepted. Hopefully one of our fine readers will create a distinctly Mecha Damashii-ish design on everyone’s behalf!

A brand new trailer for Steel Battalion Heavy Armor has surfaced, doing its best to emphasise the dual nature of the game’s controls (as in a mixture of pad and Kinect). The trailer does a good job of showing how this stuff looks like in game but until we get our hands on (or floating in the case of Kinect) with the game we’ll reserve judgement on whether it will actually work out or not. If we’re honest we still hanker for a massive and complex controller as per the original Xbox games, but what with the current publisher mandate of assuming that all gamers are fickle useless idiots I doubt we’ll see anything quite that awesome for a long time to come.

As we mentioned a while back, Shoji Kawamori had been hired to design a new plane for Ace Combat Assault Horizon. Well, 4Gamer now has a piece on the plane and has a fair few nice shots of it in game. Now called the ASF-X, the DLC will be available on the 26th October for either 960 yen (PSN) or 640 MSP (XBLA). As we said previously, this plane doesn’t transform into anything (unfortunately). For those that have played the game, then this DLC will be somewhat of a futile gesture. Whilst it has sold initially well, the reaction by gamers has been pretty scathing. Much of this ire is aimed at the DFM mode that effectively removes any form of skill from the game and instead tries to appeal to supposed “humans” that have the cognitive capacity of a brain damaged newt. At least Kawamori’s plane looks pretty cool, which is at least something I suppose.

After a good few years of, well, nothing about the much anticipated MechWarrior reboot (courtesy of Piranha Games) it appears that the game hasn’t died after all. From the somewhat oddly emphatic tweet from Bryan Ekman that there has been “no legal battle” over the usage of the Unseen designs to the slightly cringe-worthy viral twitter feed for the game itself. Either way, we’re just happy the game is still being made and that maybe one day we’ll get to play it.

The official Armored Core V site has been updated with a new section on the recently announced order matches for the singleplayer as well as a slew of very sexy new screenshots. To clarify on how awesome the singleplayer is looking for the game, check out some Gamescom footage (in HD no less) below.

4Gamer has a follow on piece for Armored Core V regarding the reveal of the Moonlight and Karasawa. It seems that the huge MT-esque enemy “TypeD No.5” (shown above) will be part of an extra mission framework. Where four players, minus an operator, will square off against particularly difficult enemies. The update also shows some new areas as well as various turret types used for territory defense.

Updated: Famitsu has also a pretty nifty update about the game’s Order Matches.

Over at GameInformer they’ve revealed that following on from the successful War for Cybertron made by High Moon studios they’ll be another game in the series; entitled Fall of Cybetron. Whilst there’s a lot of positive comments about this announcement, people seem to have forgotten that High Moon also helmed the latest film tie-in Transformers game, Dark of the Moon (which was pretty horrid to be fair). That said, we are glad that High Moon are being given more of a free reign again. The game will be released at the end of next year.
