Arrived at Hotel The Manhattan. The event was organized in two parts, the first part of participation limited to 300 people elected by lottery, and the second part of distribution of numbered tickets on the day.


I found a signboard of "FROM SOFTWARE Game Festa 2010".


In Part 1, you can play "Dark Soul" and "Armored Core V" repeatedly for 3 hours from 13 o'clock to 16 o'clock.


"Dark Soul" is a trial platform installed three each for each occupation, and it is a shift time of the trial time of about 10 minutes once.



"Dark Soul" Participants in the line for the trial. While participating in limited participation of 300 people, the participants will always rearrange themselves even after the exercise finishes, so the queue is always in a state of uninterrupted.


Mr. Hidetaka Miyazaki, director of "Dark Soul", was also in the row of "Armored Core V". "alwaysMr. NabeshimaI will not let you play. " By the way, an interview to Miyazaki director will be published soon.


And it was 16 o'clock. In the parking lot of Hotel The Manhattan, there was a queue waiting for the start of 2 copies.


The second part is a replacement system for distribution of numbered tickets. You can try out at the time stated on the numbered ticket.


2 starts. People who participated in the Tokyo Game Show 2011 held at Makuhari Messe on the same day, leaving the site a little earlier seems to be headed towards this event.



Since the trial participant entered in every hour, the venue started playing smoothly without big confusion.


"Armored Core V" trial platform. New maps and new parts that were not included in the closed beta test are also installed, and fans who line up in the row are staring at the screen as they devour themselves.


In the column of "Dark Soul", a man who made a warrior's cosplay was two-shot with Miyazaki Director.


It is the first time to do cosplay this time. I feel the hot expectations of fans.


And two of themselves, people participating in the recording of Ustreme public live broadcasting which also participates Nabeshima producer of "Armored Core V" gathered.

The trial of 2 "Dark Soul" is 18 minutes per person. You can play the contents of the product version with the test stand which already has the feature already set (character made). "Armored Core V" is a new map, a team play with new parts added 1 game. Assembling is not possible because the aircraft is selected from presets. Single play can play the same thing as closed beta test version, in 18 minutes per person.


And the live broadcast begins.

Also, it seems that the "editable text chat" which was also mentioned in the August interview came to be implemented. Easy communication is possible without selecting a voice by selecting text from fixed form sentences during online play. Fixed sentences such as "congratulations" "I see, I see" "I understand" are lining up.


Why is there "Akanjin" character.


This is a function that allows you to edit existing template phrases independently by your team, you can make the text Kansai dialect or code based on the team's own strategy.



Mr. Ogura who looks at Mr. Yauchi who steadily releases new information from the bottom of the stage uneasy.


The sale date is '2011' and the picture written mistakenly is shed, and I receive Tsukkomi with the tablet for Mr. Ogura's Campe.

This gigantic weapon is quite a strong enemy, even an expert of the development team seems to be shot down in a moment if it challenges alone. Nabeshima producer, "handling low threshold is low, but I am not forgiving on such a special occasion," by Nabeshima producer as a special mission occurring online, it is said that the level of difficulty Hints.


It is said that this type of gigantic weapons will appear in addition to this. In response to the voice saying "Such a single person can not be defeated," I know that from fans are thinking that they are being provoked when they say such things. When a person who knocks down by one person appears I believe it, "Nabeshima producer says.

Do flashy effect. "Although I always say it is real in real terms, here is already the second medicine all day," Nabeshima producer.


further"Armored Core Last Raven Portable""Black MOONLIGHT" will be distributed as a purchase privilege. To the end "It's full of dark power from my left hand ... ..." It is what I enjoy with feeling, and it seems that there is no difference from MOONLIGHT which you get with regular gameplay in terms of performance.


Normal MOONLIGHT and two swords are also possible. Of course it is possible to have only two blacks.
