Aksys Games announces Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN (PS3/PS4) for NA

I need my Baiken confirm stat.

Otherwise, glorious news. Although I wonder if it'll be P4A2 or GG at EVO 2015 in the 'obligatory anime fighter' spot, though. Hope it's both, but I'm not unrealistic, lol.
 
FInally! I really hope Arc System Works comes to PAX Prime with this.
I hope they announce a few characters at e3 or whenever. I need Zappa and Anji Mito
 
I can't imagine waiting when it comes to fighting games. You'd be so far behind by the time you'd start that you'd be left behind. I'd rather level up alongside everyone else so I stay competitive. I feel this genre demands it or you wont have any fun since the fans are dedicated and the games are built around 1 v 1. It's not like CoD or other team based games where you can be carried.

I meant I'd rather wait they wait until Spring to release the game if it meant more characters were in the initial release, not wait to buy it til then. I'm not a fan of how they handle updates.
 
I just need ASW or Aksys to confirm any of my characters (Anji mainly, but I'd relearn Bridget if I had to) and I'm golden.

Though Fall, huh... I hope they're not rushing it out too quickly. I do want more characters and slightly more balance (after watching quite a few arcade vids from Japan's finest), even if that meant a later release date.
 
Good stuff , any news on PS3 sticks working on PS4? I recall Sony saying devs can add the option.

Also Isnt GG IP owned by Sega? Why cant they let Aksys do Yakuza or something
 
Will wait til at least the 3rd generation of the game before buying ....Aksys are asshole when it comes to DLC and updates
ArcSys and Aksys are not the same company, people.

I would buy this but they're just going to re-release the crap out of this game like they did BlazBlue. If I could get some sort of confirmation that my initial vanilla version will be future proof upgradable then I'm in.
Do you buy fighting games to play them, or to hit buttons for a few hours?
 
Kinda don't know if I'm in. Anji probably won't come back ever again. Baiken and Johnny are probably DLC for 2015. I was always interested in Potemkin and May in Accent Core, but today's ASW kneecaps grapplers and May isn't worth $60.

The vast majority do it for the latter reason.

Whoa, what makes you say that? I'd think Zappa is less likely to return.
 
The only characters I think are 100% gone forever are Kliff and Justice

Then there is the 90% never gonna see you again duo of A.B.A and Order Sol

After that I think everyone else is fair game in future versions. Just some are probably higher on the queue to get in than others.(We'll probably see Testament before we'll see Bridget)

Ack, don't say that! He's my most wanted character.

If an OG popular lady like Baiken can't make the cut I fear for Anji who definitely isn't winning that contest in the male department.

No way Zappa doesn't come back.
No one suspects the butterfly.
Said every Pot player post +R. The New Anji is principle Skinner's worst nightmare.

He might be in my top 5 GOAT for fighters, but I'm such a Debbie downer and the rate at which ASW released BB characters worries me. I played GG, but not enough to become accustomed to the time it takes. Shoot, I wouldn't mind so much if I had at least my second, or third in the game. This would be like releasing a 2.5D BlazBlue with no Bang, Kokonoe or Rachel.

Anji wields a Jinki. Anji shall return.
 
This games need an competent EU publisher...

Guilty Gear, BlazBlue, Arcana Heart, and a looong etc...

If you'd settle for a digital release, there's no reason Aksys couldn't release it there. Unless they just didn't expect that they'd be able to make money back on the locs.
 
Not sure if P4AU and GG Xrd would eat each other lunch but I reckon GG Xrd should be just fine. Maybe an early holiday release for GG.
 
Wow, Daisuke at E3...

Anyway, I am pleasantly surprised it is releasing so soon in the west. I'll probably double dip for both versions.
The 15th character is probably Sin since he already has an ingame model. As for new characters I'm only certain that Johnny will make it in soon. In one interview thay said it was between Johnny and Slayer for the final character and for whatever reason Slayer made it in (probably because he is easier to play with).
 
How come the smaller Japanese studios are willing to bring their games to the PS4 but not the bigger studios like Capcom?
Bring SF4 to the next gen godamnit!

Or they couldn't afford Norio Wakamoto at the time >o>

Though that's a hard choice I probably would have picked Slayer too if I had to pick between them.

But yeah, Johnny and Baiken are probably the next on the list to get in the game (after Sin which I have little doubt will get added to the console release), be it through further console-characters, DLC, or the next iteration.
 
I still don't know how Arc is gonna get the PS3 version looking like that at 720p60fps, but maybe the game really is no more demanding than MK9.

There was a making of article in a japanese mag, and indeed one of the key things is the techniques they use aren't particularly resource-heavy (the cel tech itself uses the exact same principles as jet set radio), instead a lot of artistic work went into the animations (400-600 bones per characters allowing for squash and stretch and fake perspective, lots of alternative meshes per character, no interpolation).
 
daisuke going to e3? damn so jelly

ask him what's up with heavy day and LET IT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT, they both suck as shit :P
