[IntelliHeath]

OH DAMN!

 

[remz]

is this real life

 

[cj_iwakura]

Looks like BlazBlue-style to me! OST is pure metal.

I'm getting some more screens from the trailer.

 

[Westlo]

I'll wait until the third version.























As if fuck that, I'm hyped!

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

BOOM! Return of the King.

 

[rockman zx]

In development.....

I guess it's for next gen, looks great but I'm crying for HD sprites.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Cool!

 

[Riposte]

Sol, Ky, Millia, and Eddie confirmed so far?

 

[Angelus Errare]

Awwwwww shiiiiiiiiiit!

 

[ULTROS!]

How do you pronounce Xrd?

 

[remz]

Looking good Millia!


I actually think the 2d/3d looks pretty great here.... I like how Sol's sword has lost all swordyness and is now just a giant lighter hahah

How do you pronounce Xrd?

ECKS ARD

 

[Hasemo]

Better love it, since we're going to play various Accel/Super/Hyper/XXXXX versions of it for the next 10 years.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Sol, Ky, Millia, and Eddie confirmed so far?

For now, yes.

 

[luokyl]

ITS HAPPENING!

 

[batbeg]

How do you pronounce Xrd?

Shird! Or something.

 

[Vanille]

logo is cool

 

[SolarPowered]

Don't know what to say about the bulky designs.

Sol, Ky, Millia, and Eddie confirmed so far?

Pretty much?

In development.....

I guess it's for next gen, looks great but I'm crying for HD sprites.

Looks like Lab Zero Games are going to be the only 2D stalwarts in town at this rate.

 

[Vegivo]

XXXcite

 

[Westlo]

In development.....

I guess it's for next gen, looks great but I'm crying for HD sprites.

Their bank balance would also be crying if they went for HD sprites, and I bet we wouldn't see this game for a long time off if they went in that direction.

 

[NEO0MJ]

Graphics and artstyle looks so strange..

I guess it's for next gen, looks great but I'm crying for HD sprites.

I don't think a company like Arc would jump to next-gen so early.

 

[Ken]

I guess I can try to get into GG with this.

 

[NotLiquid]

FINALLY

 

[Kajiba]

ITS HAPPENING!

I'm definitely hyped. This was a good week.

 

[Slygmous]

It took them long enough.

This looks kinda like what I made a topic about a month or two ago - 3D pretending to be 2D, complete with choppier animation.
Looks decent.

 

[Teknopathetic]

I always thought it was possible to animate 3d models as if they were a sprite and get the same feel as a 2D fighting game.

 

[Riposte]

btw, Guilty Gear game naming conventions continue to make no damn sense

 

[Antiwhippy]

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

Whatever though. HYPED.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

WOW!! The OST is fabulous as always!!

Kiske's new hairstyle is kinda hilarious though XD

I always thought it was possible to animate 3d models as if they were a sprite and get the same feel as a 2D fighting game.

Yes, the effect is incredibly well rendered!
I thought it was 2D at first.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

This looks hot as fuck

 

[Ken]

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

Whatever though. HYPED. Now I have to buy a PS4 if it's next-gen exclusive.

It's pronounced at the end of the trailer.

 

[cj_iwakura]

 

[Lulubop]

Whoa, this is a pretty big deal.

 

[Rickenslacker]

That name is xrded.

But hey, more GG. Woo.

 

[bloodyroarxx]

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

Whatever though. HYPED.

ex-ard

 

[KojiKnight]

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

Whatever though. HYPED.

Japan is weird... it could be "exerd" or "crosserd". They can't decide how they want to use X most of the time.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

How the fuck are you supposed to pronounce that?

Whatever though. HYPED.

Third Sign, obviously!

 

[Keasar]

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's pronounced at the end of the trailer.

Finished watching now, and is that all 3D models? If so wow, they perfected the look of making 3D models look like sprites.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Looks like BlazBlue-style to me! OST is pure metal.

I'm getting some more screens from the trailer.

Yayness!

 

[ZealousD]

 

[Rickenslacker]

Wow, that's Unreal Engine? Looks amazing.

 

[inHallways]

Yessssssss.

It looks beautiful.

 

[jbug617]

Has to be a next gen game.

 

[Takamura-San]

I did enjoy arc system fighting games, but they do fall victim to over bloated fighting mechanics.

Hopefully they get toned down on this.

 

[abstract alien]

Damn, those were 3D models? Wow...

 

[Mistle]

I've never seen such 2D-looking 3D models. Honestly, I'm super impressed.

I mean seriously. It looks absolutely 2D but with the benefit of camera pans and such. They even emulate that sword drag effect, before now, I would have thought was a remnant of 2D animation.

 

[ZealousD]

How the fuck are those graphics even possible?

Some people talk about 3D models that resemble 2D sprites but HOLY SHIT THAT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE 2D.

 

[NotLiquid]

Has to be a next gen game.

How so? It looks perfectly manageable on current-gen platforms, it's just BlazBlue but without sprites.

 

[rrs]

3D models looking just like 2D spritework, now we are talking.
