Another Century's Episode (A.C.E)

Post by Kouen »

Wikipedia wrote:Another Century's Episode, abbreviated as A.C.E., is a mecha action video game produced by Banpresto and developed by From Software. It was released for the Sony Playstation 2 on January 27, 2005.
This is a game trilogy. There are already 2 games released, and the third fill be released sometime this Fall. This game is a crossover of mostly Real Robots, with a ZoE gameplay. From the creators of Banpresto (Super Robot Wars) and From Software, this game should be a must get for die hard real robot fans.

I've personally played only the second game, and all I can say is that, Banpresto used their money gained from SRW pretty well. The graphics and sound in this game are top quality. They even did a lot of work on the shocks in the controller, when your mech lands on the ground, your controller shakes,when it walks, it also shakes. The shocks also add a feeling that you're actually piloting the mech.

Yes, there will be Freedom and Justice in A.C.E 3. Which means I get to blow them up with Nu Gundam or Sazabi.

This is a thread to discuss the A.C.E trilogy, with A.C.E 3 coming out this fall.

I saw some videos on youtube of A.C.E 2 and it's from the creators of Armored core. Do you get to customize your Gundam with different parts and weapons?

Unforunately, no. In the selection screen, you choose the mecha, which always has its appropriate pilot. Such as, if you pick Nu Gundam, the pilot will be Amuro, if you pick Re-GZ the pilot will also be Amuro. However, you can add modules to your mecha that have different effects. You can also raise the stats of the units.

I just tried beating that extra space mission. Apparently you fight pretty much all the villains in rounds, recovering full hp each round. I think I was completely owned on the 4th round with the enemies being Sazabi and Neue Ziel. That mission is a complete massacre, I had all the good units too. Me using Sazabi, 1st support being Nu Gundam, and 2nd support being Buster Ark, which is the first one to go down. THE BUSTER ARK! -_-

No. This will NEVER be released in America, due to licensing issues.
True. Though I never though Dynasty Warriors Gundam would make it down here.

NO NO NO DIE!
you dont need to spend a hundred whatever currency on importing a japanese ps2 to simply play japanese ps2 games >_<
you can just use something like an action replay or whatever to play games from any region, or if you have a modded (chipped or soft) that'll work too
FAR cheaper :P
