Armored Core For Answer promises to have huge bosses, cooler-looking mechs, and better customization options than previous Armored Core titles offered, all while being more accessible to new players.

The video above gives us a glimpse of what's to come: brand new weapons, abilities, and parts. Plus, there are giant robots all over the place. What's not to like?

I remember being overwhelmed by the Armored Core 4 demo a while back, so this is news to my ears. If I can control my mech without crashing into a building every ten seconds, I'll be all over For Answer when it hits stores on September 16 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

I'm actually surprised these are still being localized for the west. I didn't think they had much of an audience here. But I guess, as Dynasty Warriors demonstrates, just because something doesn't SEEM popular, it doesn't mean it isn't.

This actually looks really fun. I haven't really played Armored Core since the PSX version, so maybe this'll be the one to bring me back. It makes me want a Zone of Enders or Virtual-On all the more, though.

Armored Core 4 was okay but it had some issues that really held it back. I'm very interested to see what (if any) changes Ubisoft can bring in before this game is released.

I'd love a really got multiplayer Mech game, this does not seem to be it though, just like previous tries.

No one else think's 'For Answer' is the f'n weirdest engrish translation and subtitle ever conceived? I mean... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over.

All this just makes me think about Zone of the Enders and how much customizing would rock.

ZOE2 remains the best mecha game EVER, but i've always been a big fan of Armored Core. It's too bad the series peaked so early, but AC4 was pretty fun, if confusing, and this looks like a welcome improvement.

Maybe if i have the cash/guts to actually go get an x360 one of these days...
