It's out on July 27th in the US, who's gonna be importing? Playing it without weird low res backgrounds is gonna be good.

K.O.Kiki · 14-06-2010 04:28PM

Waiting for PAL release in October myself.

That's if I'm not too busy playing Melty Blood.

LIFETRAP · 14-06-2010 04:30PM

Any reason for waiting for the PAL release?

chopperbyrne · 14-06-2010 04:58PM

So that they'll continue to release in Europe.

No sales in this region means no games in this region.

Xinkai · 14-06-2010 05:05PM

Melty Blood is better thats why :pac:

Might import, were not waiting a year this time, but could do with the practice.

LIFETRAP · 14-06-2010 05:07PM

I think they're both good, probably prefer BlazBlue to Melty though.

chopperbyrne · 14-06-2010 05:51PM

Plus to play the latest Melty Blood you need either a Japanese or modded PS2.

A lot easier to get people to play a game that is easily obtained.

K.O.Kiki · 14-06-2010 06:31PM

There's also PCSX2, but that's emulation so it's not perfect.
I really wish MB had been published over here though.

LIFETRAP · 14-06-2010 06:39PM

There's plenty of ways to play it on PS2 though. And loads of different options that don't involve soldering.

I'd probably buy it on 360 when it comes out here and import for PS3.

DLC Characters for CS it seems.
Famitsu reveal Makoto and V-13

Makoto pushing the bounds on how little clothes a character can wear. Good stuff Arc System.

DLC characters would have been grand had they not been announced before the game was out in Japan. Hate that ****.

Scavenger XIII · 23-06-2010 10:43PM

OMG Squirrel! fapfapfapfapfapfap

Also bringing Nu back is curious. I thought Lambda was supposed to play exactly like her, with Nu most likely dead in canon (haven't seen all the endings but final bosses usually don't survive).

K.O.Kiki · 23-06-2010 10:57PM

Official character art:

I bet Sairus is real happy.
The furry.

I have been preemptively fapping since I first saw her in Trigger.

Lamda plays pretty differently from what I've heard. More close range. I assume it's a Ken/Ryu scenario.

Ever play DOA? :pac:

Everyone's favourite squirrel girl has been priced - 560 MS Points (in Japan at least). Which converts to about €6.50.
The pack includes Makoto’s unlimited form, colours, tutorial, and challenge content.

I assume V-13 will be similarly priced, but apperantly she's an unlockable character anyway. Buying the DLC simply unlocks her immediatly.

€6.50 seems a little high for a single character considering the whole game will be about €50. Realistically I couldn't imagine a DLC character being released for less than a fiver though.

K.O.Kiki · 30-06-2010 01:59PM

€50 in Japan, but I doubt it'll be much more than €40 in Europe.

Japanese media prices are ridiculous.

GorySnake · 08-07-2010 04:33PM

I'm thinking about buying Calamity Trigger either before or after XGC this Saturday, just wondering, with CS out in October is it worth the purchase?

Also, are there any characters in particular for new players of the series?

LIFETRAP · 08-07-2010 04:49PM

Just pick who you feel comfortable with. I think the most 'normal' style characters are Jin, Ragna, Tager, and Bang.

Sairus · 08-07-2010 06:23PM

Taokaka is decently straightforward too.
I'd vote Ragna or Jin for easiest character to start with anyways. Definitely mess around with the full cast though- some of the most interesting and fun characters I've ever seen in a fighter are in that lineup.

Also, the game is €15 at the moment, I'd definitely recommend picking it up for that amount before CS in October. It'll give you some practice time before CS at the least

Do many people play CT online? Is it laggy? Think I might pop in to town and buy this tomorrow.

Placebo · 09-07-2010 10:18AM

i will also ^

It seemed fine to me. Generally find players fairly quick and no lag spikes. I don't know the game well enough to say if there was input delay or similar.

Sairus · 09-07-2010 11:49AM

My connection is awful here in Cork, but I can play BlazBlue completely grand. Wether or not my opponents are feeling the same way is a different story though.

Fnutkrumpler · 09-07-2010 12:20PM

Honestly, I'd recommend importing Continuum Shift. I have it pre-ordered for a grand total of 35 euro, including shipping etc. It'll probably cost more than that when it comes out here in October.

Zapp Brannigan · 09-07-2010 12:22PM

Did they make the 360 version region free this time?

Fnutkrumpler · 09-07-2010 12:26PM

Nope, unfortunately. 360 owners gotta wait till October.

Zapp Brannigan · 09-07-2010 12:31PM

Bah, useless ArkSys

Isn't it Microsoft that have implemented region locking?

I imagine developers would rather it be region free.

You weren't getting that? HurrrDurrrrr host advantage etc, etc. :pac:

It was running like a dream for me! =D
