Sweet, now we only need is a new Primal Rage and all my dreams will have come true.

K.O.Kiki

Exar are releasing a stick for this.



... but before you get too excited, it's tiny, will cost an arm & a leg to import, and isn't full-Sanwa.

Vyze

Who wants to bet that it'll be, like, a week after Q-Con when it's out?

Sairus

Who wants to bet that it'll be, like, a fortnight after Q-Con when people start saying "What's Guilty Gear? Does it have Focus attacks?"

K.O.Kiki

Oh BTW I was wrong.

That Guilty Gear stick has the new Sanwa "silent" parts, as confirmed by MarkMan.
So if that appeals to you, import away.

Yreval

Well, this came out of nowhere;

I don't think many were expecting this, as there aren't many games out there more balanced than the original AC. Also odd is that the changes are pretty much buffs all round, since Slash -> AC was buffs all round as well.

GGs version naming continues to get further out of hand. :pac:

This damn well better be the version coming to consoles, otherwise whats the point?

EDIT: Ninja'd

Why destroy perfectly good tactics when you can just ADD even more valid tactics?

More changes for the 2nd location test.

Some highlights from the 2nd loketest:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjt13UqPVw8

As stated previously, I'm surprised but definitely pleased that they are concentrating on buffing characters. Venom in particular looks really interesting (6:49 to 7:19).

Latest news is that AC Plus (not R) is coming to XBLA and PSN in October, with a patch to update the game to R coming at a later date. A mild disappointment, but I see why they have done this.

K.O.Kiki

TBH the more I find out about Persona 4 Arena, the more I want to play it instead.

24 October. 1200 MSP (XBL). Still no news on when it'll be upgraded to R.

Yreval

It's out now, folks (on XBL at least).

Ah c'mon Arcsys...

It isn’t getting a global release. No idea if it will come to other regions later.

Google translate of a tweet from ARC “Now we have been delivered in Japan, the United States, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Portugal. Delivery to other regions is not yet determined.” @Yamanaka_ARC for original Japanese tweet.

Doctor DooM

Lol arcsys.

SirAuronDX

I'm enjoying it. Online is...as is arcsys way...Flawed horribly though. It'll never find you a good connection match unless you know the person is close

SirAuronDX

Aye netcodes getting worse by the day. Honestly it feels like they just copy pasted blazblues terrible netcode over where the game runs at it's usual speed but the button inputs take a century to register. thus combos and blocking becomes useless and most online fights become a game of mindless button mashing. Oh and zoners can run rampant and free since you can't block various things in time. i REALLY hope when the +Reload update comes around they'll have a netcode update also

Sairus

I picked this up the other day. I just set up a Japanese account and ordered MS Points on Play-Asia.com that were emailed instantly. The game will then work on any accounts on that first XBox you downloaded it to, so it's not that much of an issue.

God damn is this game fun.

Last time I played GG was on the original XBox using a pad, but I never really played it beyond learning Chipp's specials. Now that I sort of know how to play fighters I can finally see why everyone gushes over this game.

Even outside of the gameplay being loads of fun, this title has a ridiculous amount of single player content. Fully voiced story modes, mission mode, truck loads of art to collect, etc. The only thing it's missing is a tutorial mode, but there's plenty of those online if you want to find them.

I can't vouch for the internet because my connection is total garbage and I've resigned myself to never playing online while in Japan :pac:

Also, the button layout is complete madness. Punch, Kick, Slash, Heavy Slash, Dust.

K - S - HS
P - - - D

Stop, Arcsys. You're drunk.

The last Ultrachen TV episode of this season is about 3/4 hours of beginner and intermediate tips for this game (they went over the weird button layout first).

I didn't watch it all, but if you're looking for tutorials on the game, it's something, and it's recent.

Sairus

They're expanding the regions the game is being released in on November 9th:

Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland (XBLA only)

Yup, Arcsys doing that amazing pr work they've been so good at again.

That's so weird.

Never played this game, so looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about.

EDIT: Ah balls, i just seen that's for XBLA only. No word on a PS3 release?

The Guilty Gear series is what most of the Blazblue team made before Blazblue, although I think most people who've played both will agree that it makes Blazblue seem like a poor man's Guilty Gear.

Apart from the gameplay, there are a few other things the series is known for:

1. Loads of things in the game - characters, moves, you name it - are named after rock and heavy metal bands/songs/albums/personalities. Here are a few examples: http://www.jonnydigital.com/guilty-gear-references

2. Following on from the above: the excellent soundtrack.

3. The lead designer of the series, Daisuke Ishiwatari, also drew the artwork, wrote the music and provided the voice of Sol Badguy.

If you have about 45 minutes to spare, here are a couple of videos with some hype moments from the GG series:

Stuff about achievements

As far as I recall you can only add achievements to DLC if that DLC is not free. I wonder how much this'll cost?
