Armored Core 5 delayed again

It seems From Software is having a hard time getting Armored Core 5 to reach the finish line. The mech-based action game was supposed to launch in Japan last year but ended up being delayed to an October 2011 release. Now, the developer has announced that the game won't be hitting store shelves this year after all.

 

Gaming news site Andriasang reports that Armored Core 5 now has a January 2012 release window. Unfortunately, the studio was unable to narrow the window down any further than that. The decision to delay the game reportedly arose after feedback from beta testers convinced From Software that further tweaks were necessary.

 

So far, there has been no word yet on whether or not the new Japanese release date will affect the Armored Core 5's launch in the west. Pubisher Namco Bandai has set the PS3 and Xbox 360 game's North American and European launches for next year.

Maybe we'll see a simultaneous worldwide release then.

But I really dislike the control changes that were first implemented in AC4. Together with the new emphasis on speed, it destroys any feeling of controlling a mechanized robot and now feels generic.

Like those pesky Gundams, everyone likes, I do like them, but they are not that realistic, more of fantastic, too fantastic. I do like AA for the realisim in the mecha movement and the enviroments, how the mecha moves, is like a real mecha would move, not like a Gundam, of course...

Well all for the better, the more time they spent on the game, the better it would be, I dont mind to wait for the awesome to come, lets hope that happens with this game. It would be nice to that the release would be simultanious too...

The speed in the new current gen Armored Cores was a great change. The PS2 games, though very cool, was getting a bit overdone.

I'm sick of kids who sucked at the new games ALWAYS blame it on the changes. I, however, rocked at both PS2 AND PS3 ACs. And I'll rock on ACV. I adapt that way. Control setups (there usually are multiple options) aren't an excuse.

It only felt generic to you because you were horrible at the game, and couldn't hold up. So hopefully the new AC is slow enough for you, but you'll probably suck at that one as well, and come up with another excuse how it's the GAME that sucks, and not yourself.

Maybe you should stay on Last Gen Consoles if you can't adapt and hang with the big boys, Junior.
