Meaning that of the core block with cockpit and engine as well as the joint connectors for head, arm legs, weapons and so on. I also thought that other games would follow suit when this was released.Īs I believed that this idea should differentiate this game from the rest of its competition, I proposed the concept of the “armored cores”. Such as clearly differentiating from other mecha anime and games. However, if you allow a player to create their own mecha it makes it very hard to give it a sense of visual identity. These then had to be combined by the player on their own. There were quite a lot of unknowns and there were ideas for separate parts, such as arms, feet and weapons and so on. When the design for Armored Core was requested to me, it was before the original PlayStation was launched.
