Earlier last month, there has been reports of Japanese players (Via Game Watch) fighting the tutorial boss "惑星封鎖機構大型武装ヘリ" or "Large Armed Planetary Blockade Helicopter", but recent play reports published in Famitsu reveal that the time required to defeat this boss alone is approximately 30 whole minutes.

According to Famitsu impressions, the appearance of such a boss caused a commotion in the venue of the live experience event. Repeatedly being hit by missiles could deplete almost all of the players' AP (health), and with the constantly aimed machine gun and the mobility that could effortlessly evade all of the players' attacks, many doubts were raised.

People were wondering, "Is this really the first boss?" It was a formidable opponent that left many players feeling defeated even in this pre-release experience.

Another one of the attractions was the photo mode. Of course, you can take as many pictures of your Armored Core as you want with this feature, but it's the scope of what you can capture and how you can capture it that's special.

There's the ability to choose the focal length, as well as the wide viewing angle, the tilt of the camera, and even the color filter from RGB. You can even set parameters like the F-number (the amount of light coming through the lens, or aperture) and the exposure (the amount of light that reaches your camera's sensor). The features feel really close to how real cameras behave, and it looks like even more cool photography features are on the way.



There's also a paint feature that lets you paint your favorite Armored Core the way you want. Not only can you paint each frame, but you can also set detailed colors for each part within the frame. Multiple color presets can be registered, and the degree of reflection and gloss can be set for each frame separately. There are also plenty of existing preset colors for those who aren't good with color customization.

Players can also apply weathering (processing that expresses the dirt and deterioration of the aircraft), as well as create and apply decals. Another noteworthy point in Famitsu's report is that the music of Armored Core is said to be inspired by old sci-fi movies like "2001: A Space Odyssey," but will also incorporate new sounds that act as a new frontier for the old movie genre and its associated music.
