makes me sad myself.
I don't think Vanillaware would be interested in making a 2.5d title like Xrd considering their passion is 2d art. They even developed their own character editor in house. It would be interesting to see them do the artwork for a fighting game though, but I'm not sure if that's something they're interested in pursuing.

Though, even though that crappy anime game that just came out has Selvaria, I am not purchasing it.
I had to do a double take since the PC port came out this week as well.

America only play games from companies with real production values like Capcom. Why play lesser games!?

But Bamco has great production values.
They can afford it with all the DLC gouging.

Is Combofiend turning into the NeoGAF logo?
Don't forget me.
What should a VF tourney turnout in America be?
We only play GOOD GAMES

Going by the US tournaments I've played in, 600 people still wouldn't be enough to fill a top 8 with people who know a combo.

NYG9 was about 40 people.
The funny thing is, until Capcom Cup, Sega had put in more prize money behind VF in the west (around $50k for VF5:FS) than Capcom ever did with SF.Well to be true I would have had to say advertising budgets
About as many people as a Skullgirls tournament.
Yes, that is both a real and troll answer.
Goin in on all the marginalized fanbases.

Should have put it into advertising
Just like they do in BBCP. You camp arcade machines and throw up the poop sign at people who don't want to play you.

I'm sad that Xrd won't feature avatars, but only the head of the character artwork.
Those were pretty neat.

Lobbies are giant rooms allowing for up to 64 players, however all those players do not queue up-- you're represented by a little avatar and can go around the lobby and sit down at arcade machines to play 1-on-1 matches against other users. You can text chat to everyone in the lobby. Arc games also offer your standard player matches with rooms up to 8 people, where you go queue up normally.
It's pretty much the same as the Global lobbies in Soul Calibur V, if you played that.
The only game that comes to mind with 64 man lobbies is KOF Maximum Impact on the OG XBox. Not that anyone ever played that online.
That's technically 32.
But seriously, Guilty Gear Xrd's terrible avatars suck.
The Persona 4 Arena Ultimax avatars are just so good.
Can you imagine how cool it'd be to have a May avatar get on a dolphin when you're sprinting?
I want that now.

This seems to be the case sadly for a lot of people.
I was talking to some GG OGs and they had no clue what these lobbies were and why I was sad when it was initially implied that they wouldn't be returning. They mostly had the same impression Kadey had.

Nope, but I shouldn't have to if my strategy is winning the game. Or, at the very least, calling Elizabeth's Persona should count as "moving forward".
Great! I'm excited to see Darkstalkers use it.
Ah, that's true. They love old fashioned stuff like painting, and I totally respect that.
She looks so slow and clunky. I'm incredibly disappointed.
Maybe keep a permanent 64 man lobby open for everyone? ;-) Though you'd never go for GAF only. :-(
Don't worry, when Capcom adds it 5 years later, people will know what it is.
Felt like it could be a case of the Madden 06-itis. IE most of the work going into the engine.
This is the most depressing post I've read in FGW next to people demanding system mechanic changes to games they don't understand or play.
Speaking of features, DBFC has one of the ones I liked from Aquapazza. In the training mode menu, you're able to switch your character or assist right there instead of exiting back out. Were there other fighters that had this? KI maybe?
I know not every game can add this, but it's pretty neat.

Guilty Gear Xrd -Sign- probably cost ArcSys far less than BlazBlue Calamity Trigger.
Unreal is easy to work with, well established, and they're not working with sprites.
I mean, if you read The Art of BlazBlue, it's such a cumbersome process.

Making videogames is a cumbersome and expensive process regardless of art, engines or technical prowess. This is especially true in developed countries where employees earn higher wages. Beyond that we enter the realm of conjecture and assumptions that just fuels rumors.
You just raised my laptop's temperature to 90 degrees celsius.
Oh right, it was in development for a while, so that'd definitely add to it.
Still, the process for BlazBlue is not that big a departure, and I imagine with their relative lack of experience at the time probably did not help.
By no means am I saying Guilty Gear Xrd was an easy job, I just think BlazBlue would've required more out of a younger ArcSys.

To be fair, the core experience for most FG series online (outside of Namco's games, to their credit) did not improve at all over the last generation. Capcom's efforts were a joke, whereas ArcSys did put in a fair amount of effort improving the featureset but the actual in-game experience never improved. NRS' games have always been bad (I want to see the receipts on MKX's online improvements) and Tecmo's games have been getting worse. I guess VF5:FS improved a bit on VF5... but who plays that?
This is pretty much how I feel. Makes much of the [recent] outrage at games slipping up in places hard to understand. Shit happens, devs who are usually already being overworked (most of the industry, really) catch the flak for bad management/overambitious game development and people want their lives to burn and companies to shutter.
Making games is hard, and probably more to the core of the issue, super risky no matter how much your game does or doesn't pander. And then there's this undercurrent of consumers assuming they know way more about game development than those making the games, which is pretty toxic to discussion.
Wow, this must have taken a while.
Kadey being tsundere again, it never fails to amuse me. I'll bop you once Xrd comes out scrub.

You have to use stock to get reverse gattling. Also she has teleports for movement.
Also,I am at the local scene venue and there is a huge crowd around So while two dudes are playing VF off in the corner.

I wonder if Xrd will be going the 2D animated route for its opening or if it will be done with the 3D models.
It should be pretty hype either way with BIG BLAST SONIC as the theme.

Assuming that's the main theme.
