One of the best parts of this job is meeting passionate, creative people and listening to them gush about their craft. As is often the case, the in-person experience beats the virtual one here, and this makes the rush of summer gaming events an especially valuable source of face-to-face opportunities.
I knew Bandai Namco and FromSoftware were bringing Armored Core 6 to Summer Game Fest 2023 in Los Angeles, so I was looking forward to getting a proper look at the hotly anticipated mech-action game – which I did, per my Armored Core 6 preview. The show was presented by producer Yasunori Ogura, who's worked on the series for some time now, and whose enthusiasm for mechs I found infectious in-person, even through a translator.
