'Armored Core' trilogy lacks save data transfer feature

The original 'Armored Core' trilogy is now available on PlayStation Plus. This includes the games Armored Core, Armored Core Project Phantasma, and Armored Core Master of Arena. However, there is a significant problem with the updated versions. In the original trilogy, players could transfer saved data between the games. This feature allowed players to carry over parts and money, making it easier to progress. Unfortunately, the new PlayStation Plus versions do not support this save transfer. As a result, each game is locked from the others. Additionally, the changes in gameplay from the first game to the other two are affected. Players cannot access certain upgrades unless they have the saved data from the first game. This missing crossover feature has disappointed many fans of the series. Some hidden game elements were found in Project Phantasma, hinting that developers were aware of the importance of this feature. Fortunately, fixing the issue may be straightforward. Each game keeps separate save files, which can be backed up to the cloud via PlayStation Plus. While players are enjoying the updated graphics and gameplay, some have raised concerns about remapping controls. However, many argue that the original controls were effective. A bug report regarding the save transfer issue is already open on Implicit Conversions’ Discord server, encouraging players to share their feedback.
