Smashin' 'bots online with Armored Core 4

So, sitting in your room alone, destroying massive robots with your own massive robot, you think to yourself "gee, this AI isn't bad, but I really wish I could ruin some other kid's day by annihilating his robot. Heck, I'd love a team of people to lay waste to a band of little girly-men." You know you'll be thinking that after tackling the single player mode of Armored Core 4 and that's exactly why From Software has decided to talk a little bit about their online plans for the mech-battling game.

Online support includes battle royal and team-based combats for up to eight players. This should turn into a pretty intense bout if you manage to get a full eight players -- just think of the mayhem! Also of note is the SIXAXIS, or the lack of using any of tilts. That's right: you don't have to worry about jerking your controller around. The idea was looked at, but the From Software team weren't certain they could implement it in a way that would make the game better. So, who wants to join me for a mech battle in a few months?
