More and More LE's make me happy. Add to that, I've taken a bit of intrest in this particular Armored Core because it looks like its going to be alot better than the others. This makes me pretty darn happy. What makes me sad is that I have absolutely no extra money to spend. =( I really like those Armored Core mech designs too.... By Full Sized... do they mean... 26 feet tall? Oh well.
Moving on to other stuff from, From Software...
Representatives for Japanese developer From Software revealed today that the company is planning to showcase a handful of upcoming games within its booth at next month's Tokyo GameShow 2002. Specifically, the company has confirmed plans to show versions of several games including Rune II for GameCube, Armored Core Online for the PlayStation 2 and O-To-Gi for the Xbox among others. In addition, the company plans to setup a special experience booth wherein players can sit in a specially designed cockpit to experience the company's recently released Xbox shooter Murakumo.
This makes me pretty happy, cause previous reports I heard were showing only Rune 2. I re ally hope O-to-gi is playable so I can hear some impressions on that sucka. Thousand Lands had better be there in some form too.
