In the end he seemed pleased that I rebelled against the majority and opted for a sunny corn colour.
But the latestArmored Core 6: Fires Of Rubicontrailer from this year’sGeoff Awardshad me in a contemplative mood.
“Perhaps”, I thought, “Carpet Man would appreciate FromSoftware’s use of grey”.
I’ll be the first to admit that I know nothing about the Armored Core series.
They only fire large gatling guns and rarely flinch, because they are unfeeling, unthinking slabs of metal.
Yawn, am I right?
A grey robot wearing a backpack hoists a grey limb from the floor.
Yet, I believe that Armored Core has the potential to redeem grey in the eyes of Carpet Man.
The grey isn’t chic, it’sshabbychic.
Look at all the shades!
The fumes and the streaks of grey from helicopter blades!
“Ooo, a bit of sunlight too much for you?
“, these mega-bots would say.
We mechs had to deal with the fires of Rubicon, for fuck’s sake.”
I hope he does.
Thanks to FromSoftware, maybe grey could be cool again.
