I d love to have the possibility to export fbx files from DSAS right away, that can be compatible with blender, especially for dark souls/ elden ring character animations

Don't think we didn't notice your purple AC. You can't show us the Zullie build without the code! lol

@@Dhieennot going to happen unless Havok basically gets leaked again.

So the Strider was using a PCA satellite eye?

Mrrp

It would have been really epic.

AC6 DLC maybe? One can dream...

worst case scenario, it might have been a (annoying (subjective)) gimmick boss much like bed of chaos. BEST case scenario, it might have been a spectacle boss like the Divine Dragon from Sekiro (but there will be people complaining about it being gimmick because what else are they gonna talk about)

You mean an entire space station

I figure it would have been kind of Shadow-of-the-colossus-esque, with the player having to first make it to the satellite in one piece and then advance up and through it to reach a weak spot.

A floating Spirit of the Mother’s Will? I’ll take it.

The game needed them, frankly the PvE side of things doesn't stand up in replays very well. Too few "destroy forces" missions, said forces are a total pushover right from the beginning, and the big setpiece enemies (Strider, Ice Worm) are pretty damn easy. And it's not like the PvP side of things is blowing minds either.

10/10 game @@InternetHydra

I mean, nothing is ever gonna top For Answer for me, but I am curious if we'd have got to fight the satellite like one of the Arms Forts. That would've been awesome.

I'm going to bet thats going to be a DLC boss in the future.

Space stations in Gundam do that a lot too. Either being hewn from an asteroid, or built around one. Example: Solomon A Baoa Qu Axis X18999

Heh, here I mistakenly thought it was just globs of that gap-filler foam.

Seems logical, Asteroids are fairly easy to mine and provide decent impact shielding against debris.

I don't see it

That’s a cool detail, didn’t notice till you pointed that out

The evil eye, false messiah, anti chr1st. The two bighest religion warns of this same entity thats your malice. However on another note, I wonder how many people notice the funny green triangle logo we memed back then somehow gain relevance that its been mentioned in dr strange madness of multiverse, and also on dbrand website, and also on so many more trinkets like twitch achievement logo. It is intentional and it is many. Not just what could be happenstance when I say it I mean the exact combination, a triangle an an eye.

Honestly, the Idea is interesting, but i don't Like it. It seems cliché. Eyes Shooting Lasers isn't new, and These ones are too lifeless to Interpret living Malice. I'd've preffered the uncaring, bleak Metal Mass Destruction device look

Not malice, but it does instill that feeling into you that this giant satellite is watching you.

It makes for a much more interesting looking weapon instead of a big saucer, plus it makes sense to have the lens look like a pupil (just like camera lenses) while the entire structure is a ball for free movement.

Man whenever I se them I can only think of the space core from portal 2

That would double the tiredness of the final mission, if they make it real, it would be harder than CEL 420

I can see why it was cut tbh. It seems like it'd be a bit complex with moving parts and not that interesting to fight. You'd either just be breaking turrets on it or made to do a turret section to destroy it.

As in other Fromsoft games (and games in general) there probably is more cut content from the end of the game than from other parts. The way the "final mission" starts so abruptly it's quite obvious there is something missing between it and the penultimate mission. You just go from a "boss fight" to the final boss immediately. Having to disable one or multiple such satellites in the final mission was probably exactly what was planned.

@@zolikoff What do you mean?

Mass Effect did it way earlier with Occulus fighter ships

i imagine that the ayre boss fight you would actually face the satelite with carla as the back up and then fight ayre mid mission like the spirit of the mother will

Ayre is coral and thus can infect machines to control them ALLMIND controls shit by controlling almost everything Carla just has Chatty help her hack so she wouldn't have a chance at the satellite

​@@yokai1235might even have a VOB segment too. Using the Xylem as the launch pad for the mission.

Ayre, likely not. She can do some hacking but as far as taking full control the most seen is with special ACs. Carla, I doubt, but purely because I doubt one person could easily control something a massive crew would be needed to overlook. Not sure if ALLMIND could do it without aid, but she has the best shot.

@@RippahRooJizah Ayre probably not? What? she already has, she's the one firing on the Xylem in the exchange in this very video

Considering that the Xylem seems to be roughly as big as the satallite (even lenghtier tbh), and that the satellite by itself dwarfs the Strider, it probably would cover 2/3 of ER's map.

the satellite is 11km wide without the ring and I think that's already enough to cover the land between(the 5km Strider goes from Weeping peninsula to Erdtree) if the 2:22 part is to scale, the Xylem(not as wide but much longer) would easily dwarf the Elden Ring map. I think you can forget about comparing it to a single city

that would require a full model of the xylem. it shows up in cutscenes but the rest of the time you can only see parts of it EDIT: didn't watch the video before commenting ._.

@@huonglevan2276 True, it would be ridiculous to compare it to just Leyndell, but that's kind of the point! It would be amazing to see just how massive the Xylem is by that comparison as a ship/city colony. And hell, even crazier than that is that I bet Institute City's ruins are way more expansive than even the Xylem!

nerd

I mean it made sense a bit in the intro, Rubicon is supposed to be off limits for anyone entering and leaving the place hell that’s the whole reason why you had to stop it from shooting down the Zylem in one of the endings

​@@axilus_4012I'm fairly certain Ayre says that she hacked the satellite to attack you in that ending and it's not supposed to do it on its own

​@@shobooknight You are correct, but it was originally meant to prevent intrusion because it's a PCA weapon. Arquebus failed to take control of it after the PCA abandoned Rubicon, so Carla thought it was inactive. Then Ayre comandeered it to repel the Xylem.

That's what I think, and I figure they made it into a cutscene because if "we make the first fight one you lose everyone is going to be saying this is just like a Souls game."

I think it's more likely it was meant to be one of the last bosses. In the Fires of Raven ending, you would've probably had to prevent it from destroying the Xylem.

@@glorpoliusthat actually…made a lot of sense Wow

I imagined this would've been like the last boss you'll fight before the final boss. Especially for the Fires of Raven ending.

@@Redsword603 I suppose those ideas aren't mutually exclusive! You could have had an early mandatory loss and then sweet revenge near the end.

I'm forever cursed by the fact that I know the technique they used to make it look like that, and I'm familiar with it because it's used in fursuits.

Man it sure would be crazy if that was the entire point of eyes.

​@@karhu7581 I'm curious. could you explain the method?

@@fragilechinaa It's an optical illusion where the eyes (or in this case, eye) are a concave shape, giving them the illusion of following and staring into the camera (Shara in Monster Hunter world uses this same technique).

You also have infinite EN during breach the Karman line and you pretty much assault boost through the entire mission area. If something this big doesnt have a similar approach it would be very tedious to traverse 11km under normal conditions or even worse while dodging enemy fire.

When its not a time constraint issue, often devs drop something because they simply couldn't make it fun. Big bosses are a fine line. I know people love the Arms Forts, but some of those really got tedious to me. I would like to see their reason uncovered one day.

That's what alwwaaaaays blows me away about games/anime/etc that have insane megastructures. They're so fucking cool, it's like sticky fly trap for me. The gargantuan grid sections that loom above R³ are some of my favorite things ever. Just massive structures made just to facilitate the movement of raw materials

I mean we already use more or less the same on the mega cities of the world, just think how much metal must be in a place like Tokio, NYC etc. Tho the process must be hard to figure out, I imagine you need decades to just figure out how stockpile the metals.

@toobig7150 oh yeah totally! I get excited when things are of genuinely 'stupid' scale hahaha

Lots of materials that is for sure , either from the planet itself or other planets , remember that Earth has enough steel to build roughly 3 death stars from Star wars , building a satellite as big as this one would cost alot , but is doable when it comes to materials (not cost thought)

Blame! moment

And I don't want to compare to the death star but holy shit. I already imagine the mission of it

​@@hikigayamurakamo9340I would considering the fact that this things are already massive compared to ACs, and the fact that ACs themselves are already huge compared to human sizes.

This. Since space travel was well established since AC2; and orbital guns in AC3:SL; even though they claim there is no established timeline; at one point I feel they will connect the dots like they did for The Legend of Zelda titles.

Hopefully it's prequel DLC, keeping the open-endedness of the main game's true ending.

@@rabbittv8399 agreed

@@rabbittv8399 Could easily just be new story paths that lead to completely different results. That would also work.

@@CraveForYuri Maybe, but I don't know. I feel like the story paths are fine as they are. What I'm really hoping for is prequel DLC instead, because I have far more questions when it comes to that. What really happened before the first Fires of Ibis? Who is Assistant No. 1? Were Professor Nagai's warnings received by the entire Institute or only a select few? How did Walter and Carla grow so close together and form such a strong bond that he entrusts her with his last will in the event he dies? Who are the "fallen friends" that Walter and Carla keep mentioning and what were their stories? I want answers to those questions more than anything else.

@@CraveForYuri ehhh, it the DLC changes the main story paths, that permanently alters the main story. Prequel would be much cooler to me - the mystery of 621 going to Rubicon in the first place isn't answered, Rubicon Research Institute scientists that were around the triggering of the Fires can be found dead in their ACs, we don't even know the names of two of 'em. Even a story where we don't play as 621 but learn the beginning of a fire so large it consumed a star system. New main story paths in the main game would alter the story we've already played and learned, then deny those alterations to anyone who doesn't buy the DLC lol. There'd be two slightly different main stories of AC6 instead of one if the DLC modifies the main story paths. A part of me doesn't like the idea lol

With how "for" ~ "four" and "Verdict" -> "V" -> "5", my guess is that the word of the expansion title will begin with "Vi" as in "Victory" or "Vindicated"; or it its two-word title are shortened to VI i.e. "Victory Icognito".

Imagine "armored core VI Vision"

...you know, we have 2 Big Laser that's shooting you from far away, but, what about a BIGGER Laser that shooting you from EVEN FARTHER AWAY?

Carla also tells you to take it out during one of the paths, but instead you fight a Boss while Carla just rams through it in the cutscene anyway

Midir's sword thing?

@@MDMarcus in the code it was found that midir had an unused beamlike lance in his hand for an attack... That reminds you of something from elden ring?

@@dragonslayer3552 I hear you, it's Placi's OST-pausing AoE. Never heard of it, but that's cool. Did Lance make a video about that?

@@MDMarcus I think zullie actually has a video about it

@@MDMarcus well that was easy to find

Depends on if you count Xylem / The grids as objects...
