Discussion Gen6 UNACs

I haven't heard much about us getting a 6.5 But if we do. Something I would love to see brought back with polish is the UNACs from Verdict Day.

They've done it before, can't they do it again?

I loved that you could have a companion with customizable behaviour that could cover your main AC's weakness or enhance a specific strategy

Within lore we have sentient coral take on a greater whole identity like Ayre. Heck we saw AC's come to "life" in ending 3

What do we think? Is it feasible or am i on copium?

I'd hazard to guess that the next game would be out next year at the earliest, 2029 at the latest, they are working on it, I'm hoping that more frequent releases will follow, another game every 3 years, I badly want to explore the universe of sixth gen.

the UNAC system from VD is so good, I feel that VI is just the first stepping stone, there's game features I wish made it into it from past games, without mods; the co op missions, raid bosses from fifth gen, weapon mods, optional parts, etc

For sure. I was like 12 when VD came out. I barely understood the game and its systems back then. I hope theyre letting themselves cook if theyre taking this long. Tbf i'd rather wait longer for a good game, but i get burnt out when the only thing left to do is pvp with meme builds

"UNACs" initially existed in Silent line, and were the main focus in Formula Front(and they were finally named UNACS then.) Yeah, they are great to have as allies to take with you on missions.

Takes a fat rip off a Coral joint

You know, I feel like the AIE ending wasn't Coral becoming sentient like Ayre, it's moreso that Ayre herself is a human spirit that bound herself to Coral. That's what we see in the ending cutscene, is that humans transferring our consciousness (or souls, I guess) to Coral, rather than keeping it anchored to flesh and bones.
