Armored Core 4

It has been quite a while since we have given you some screenshots of From Software's latest treat for the next-gen consoles, Armored Core 4 for the PS3 and Xbox 360. There has been some speculations that the Xbox 360 version has been cancelled, but nothing official has been said until now, so those would remain as armchair speculations for now.

Anyway, for those who have no idea what the game is, it is the latest title in the Armored Core series of video games. Set sometime in the future, it restarts the series' storyline from square one. Overpopulation has led to widespread food and resource shortages. Wars begin to break out and six corporations emerge to form a new world order. People have taken to living in colonies under a system called the "Pax Economica". The Pax is a mixture of socialism and slavery, with each and every person being loyal to one of the corporations. The game's story begins five years after the Pax has been established.

For now, here are some screenshots. Feel free to speak your mind through your comments.

I dont know why the ppl at Bandai are making a new Gundam Wing game when AC4 is coming out at around the same time. Iv been a fan of AC for a long time and IMO its a better franchise than Gundam Wing. As long as the multiplayer and customization is solid this will be a must buy along with Resisstance:FoM.

Yes these do look pre-rendered. If you want some real gameplay footage check out the E3 2006 trailer. I can't take my eyes off it (it's pretty short though but the real time gameplay is in there).
Here's the link:

A bunch of idiots claiming it's pre-rendered when it's obviously real time. Just take a look at the high res pictures instead of the thumbnails. You can still see some jaggies problem as full Anti-Aliasing isn't turn on yet.

if they're pre-rendered it's because they're part of an FMV. From Software always showed off screens from their FMVs as well.

if thats true... then that a hella lot of FMVs

i agree with 8...thats a lot of FMVs...and a lot of pre-rendered ACs...

the only one that is most likely pre-rendered is the second in the first row

one of them is firing a back cannon in the air >.

Badass AC4. Some maybe prerendered but look at the pics at the edges of objects closely and you can see the polygons. Look at the mech flying over the dome pic. If you look closely at the edge of the rounded domes you can see the jaggedness of the polygons, but not too bad. These look nice.

Alot of those screens are pre rendered, just because you can see the jaggied doesn't me its ingame, hell that could be your screen, or just hte screenshot.

When we see maybe more than 25 seconds of gameplay we can talk.

Jagged as in polygons making something look round. If it was prerendered they could have done a better job. Even on AC2 the prerendered looked better. I see this and am educated enough that I can tell the difference and am convinced that these are not prerendered. You will see.
