Human Plus; is it returned?

Ž · Since the english version has been released, it's time to ask this question...

Human Plus, is it back?

No answers I can find yet since it's just a newly released game. Although I'm 100% sure that the laser blade wave is still here. (just like in Nexus and Nine Breaker)

Ž · Yeah, they still are. Because the Dual Face is still here... (the pilot name and AC name is different, but setup and emblem is exactly Genobee), as well as Trance and Terpischore (again, different), but Bolt and Thunderstrike seemed to only have changed in the weapon setup... (still has the human plus with the LX cannon...)

Does anybody know?

im not familar with what human plus does exactly

quote balmung the skydemon

Where you can use the back weapons without kneeling. It was a really nice feature, too bad its not in this one.

That was only one of several features actually. The others included being able to use blade waves with any laserblade (which you can now do anyways), improved boosting time, improved cooling performance, auto-radar without having to equip a radar head and several others as well. The mobile cannon usage was unquestionably the best though.

quote Johnny_G

Some of the AI cores get to use Human Plus (or OP-Intensify, the same features, just different name). But there is no way that you, the player, can get this feature without using some sort of gameshark or codebreaker device.

Personally I think that's unfair - they should either give it to both players and opponents, or not give it out at all. Then again, I was the one who was pining for FROM to make a more challenging game. And it looks like they've finally delivered with LR.

Does that happen on Armored Core Nexus, too?

This is the age old argument, but why couldn't they have simply left it in the game? If the player doesn't want to use it, they won't. If people don't want it used in a vs. match, that's why there is the regulation option now to restrict parts if desired. It's simply more fun at times to use OP-I, so if I can find this gamebreaker thing, I'll very well use it to have a seperate OP-I file so I can have more fun.

Ž · As of now my research about Human Plus in the latest generation of Armored Core...

Armored Core Nexus - many AI ACs use this Human Plus. Included here are modified Cooling Performance, modified Weight, Back Weapons-Legs intensify, and grid radar with full functions. Genobee has all of them with him.

Armored Core Nine Breaker - Although not evident, some AI ACs use this feature. Included are the Back Weapons-Legs intensify (!!!), modified Cooling, modified Energy Output, and the Grid Radar with full functions. Pilot Leaf and his AC Even Chance has Back Weapons-Legs intensify and Grid Radar. Pilot Etzam Nar and her AC Proto Exus has the Grid Radar, and modified Energy Output. Pilot Warlord and his AC Goliath has Grid Radar and modified Cooling.

Armored Core Last Raven - With remakes of ACs from the previous 2 games, they still retain their human plus functions. Just look at them, but I really can't identify what they modified though.

Details about what Human Plus is:
Human Plus is an advanced research technology which is still under experiment, and Test Subjects are still being implemented unto it. In the previous Armored Core games, you are one of the Test Subjects if you do something wrong. But after that, the experiment still fails because you don't show them what happened. Human Plus is like somewhat combining the Human Mind to the advanced Technology called Armored Core. Functions that Human Plus did were:

Advanced Eyes - Through the relationship of the Human Eyes and the ACs head part, you are able to advance your sight of the surroundings even if your radar class is low quality. All functions also included.

Booster Capacity - Through the relationship of the Human Energy and the ACs Energy Output, your ACs capability of releasing energy will be modified. Condenser Capacity greatly increased through this.

Stable Knees - Through adding even advanced energy on the legs, you are able to carry considerably back weapons that are hard to balance while moving. One of the most useful additions, this is what everyone wants.

Destructive Hand - Through the relationship of your mind and your hand and mixing it with the ACs Energy Sword (Laser Blade), you are able to shoot out waves from the ACs Laser Blade. Once a powerful tool, but now it isn't. Now available in Nexus, Nine Breaker, and Last Raven, this function has been toned down to be less effective by more than 10x.
