Or mix of 3rd Gen and 4th Gen's movement control. You know, a bit like 3rd Gen's boosting but as good as 4th Gen's

4's maneuvering was fine, 4A went overboard. 3rd Gen maneuvering was terrible due to how lock-ons were achieved, although I probably put over 3000 hours into Silent Line alone. After SL they began making it harder to boost by taking the radiator mechanic and making it absurdly easy to overheat. I just hope they can get Kawamori to help out with some of the designing, V's designs for the most part, look like Japanese mechwarriors, instead of armored cores.

Without radiator mechanic, i think the late 3rd Gen boosting is good. The speed is very balance, it not over speed but it not very slow too. At least maybe they could make the AC is as fast as Final Zinaida.

Actually, i really enjoy the 5th Gen design. 4th Gen is good too, though. Maybe in the next game, they should make the 5th Gen AC become UnAC only, while we're going to use 10 meter's like AC.

The thing which drew me to Armored Core was the the designs were utilitarian, they were meant to be outlandish and interesting. V's mechanical designs feel very generic in retrospect, the most iconic designs in Armored Core are Nineball, and the original armored core, seen in almost every game in various iterations up until 4 and 5. Nineball's "version" in V looked like something out of Zone of the Enders, a completely alien design. I will say the heavy, tank, and reverse legs look excellent in V, but the lightweights and medium weight designs looked pretty terrible, most of them were just one of the same version with increasing numbers of armor plates slapped on, I understand they wanted to try something more realistic looking, but If I wanted realistic mechs I'd go play Front Mission 5 again.

Might I remind you V didn't last nearly as long, the multiplayer was dead within a matter of 9 months or so with a few blips here and there (and the servers were split between countres which only speeds that process up), and the Verdict Day "sequel" felt like a crappy DLC. They obviously spent too much time on trying to make Armored Core a next-gen tournament game, and not enough time on developing the story or the designs. To be perfectly honest, I applaud their attempt to try so many different approaches, it takes a lot of balls, but in doing so they threw out the baby with the bathwater. A game with plot like Silent Line - Last Raven but the graphical quality of FA, and the mobility between SL and 4, would literally be perfect. Also, I miss actual back weapons, and hover legs.

For the design, if i want to be realistic design, i will choose 1-3 Gen's design with 5 Gen's detail. 1-3 Gen's is good but it's very "old style", while the 5 Gen is too overdetail. 4 Gen's design is kinda boring to me. Maybe i want something like Titanfall.

Also the problem is Armored Core's game graphic is very outdated compare to the other game. I think they need to change the game engine.

Ironically though, some people just solve this problem and has made the fan game (They change the content now because the license). Check this out www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLI6OW… and www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKdcXq…
