'scientist01' became Isaac Kleiner in the sequel, but in the '90s, he was dubbed 'Walter' by the community, even spawning fan-fic called "Walter's World" on the Planet Half-Life website.

You'd think with that much sway and a bevy of masterpieces under its belt that FromSoftware's development team would be huge, but it's actually shockingly small compared others devs working on triple-A titles.

]]> Wed, 26 Jul 2023 01:36:33 GMT https://www.thegamer.com/elden-ring-armored-core-6-made-by-300-devs/ Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon is set to bring the series back for the first time since Armored Core: Verdict Day which launched all the way back in 2013. FromSoftware is going all out to revive the series with a bang too, as not only is Armored Core 6 looking like the most visually impressive and approachable game in the franchise, but it seems like it's also going take the longest to complete. It's not even close either.

Over the last ten years, the once-eclectic studio has narrowed its focus, choosing instead to concentrate its efforts on the Souls series and other action role-playing games heavily inspired by the Dark Souls blueprint. With Armored Core 6, FromSoftware is finally returning to its original flagship series - but it’s not leaving Dark Souls behind completely.

I know, I was disappointed when I found out too. The urban legend of Armored Core players holding their PlayStation controllers backwards was just a meme, and not a legitimate method used by the hardcore community. A joke that only works because Armored Core has traditionally been such a difficult and unapproachable game, so even though I know it isn’t real, it was still on my mind when I arrived at the Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon hands-on preview event earlier this month.

Larger cities and civilian settlements will be found on specific planets likely pertaining to the main quest and major side missions, while every explorable planet off the beaten path will be down to you to discover. Certain players have expressed dismay about the potential of most planets not being worth a visit, but for me, it’s the opposite. I cannot wait to stand upon daunting plains of extraterrestrial terrain with little idea of what awaits me. To bask in the solitude of an alien world that doesn’t belong to me.

Editor-in-Chief Stacey Henley has already written about how the film is far more than anti-men in its intentions, so it’s up to me to carry the silly torch on behalf of TheGamer. As Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling explore the sunny beaches and gaudy artificiality of Los Angeles, the couple are blissfully ignorant of their surroundings and immediately find themselves in a variety of unrealistic hijinks.

However, a new Hot Toy seems to confirm it doesn't come about because he loses the symbiote, as he wears both the symbiote and the Iron Spider legs at the same time.
