Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
YESSSSSSS!!!!!!

"3D? Damnit..."
Saw the video and then I was like...
"Holy shit this looks great!!!"
They nailed the visuals! Finally! 3D up skirts of Bridget!

Awesome, loved Guilty Gear X on PS2. What system is this coming out for?

I dunno, they might be in 3D so it's easier to create, but they have to actually make new assets now instead of recycling the same sprites over and over again.

He catches Dizzy
Haha yeah he does.
In that way I guess he ends up better off than most other characters.
That has me thinking though. Timeline-wise, where do we think this game falls? I was kinda hoping it would pick up immediately where the previous installment left off, but the difference in appearance and weapon design seem to point towards a longer span of time.

There's been a pretty natural progression towards this. CC2's cel shaded games figured out a lot of animation and modeling techniques for replicating 2D animation. ASW seems to have brought even more to the table.
Generally I think the point of cel shading isn't just to duplicate animation. But bring more flexibility to the look of it. Cel shaded CG has been used heavily in actual animation for years now.
Games are tricky since they're real time and respond to player input. CG in films can be massaged to perfect the look of it.
For all the hate SFIV gets, it's an intentional art style. Prototype images revealed that they tried several styles, including one that was like MVC3.
I always felt the final style of SFIV was intentionally intended to not look like an "anime game". As if they wanted to help it sell well in the west with a broader art style. So they settled on something that looks more chunky with some marker and ink rendering.

Meh. They manage to have choppy animation even with 3d models? Capcom, where art thou?

Chill bro, they just trying to recreate their 2d works.

Its on purpose. Its mimicking 2D animation.

It's what helps manage to give it the appearance of spritework despite being fully polygonal, everything is deliberately animated in that timing that even stuff like Ky's cloak has an animation loop instead of being realtime physics.

Yeah possibly. But somehow I can't see them rolling this rendering technique out this late in this gen. For the effect to work, they need to invest a lot of power into shadowing and AA/AF. Can't see them going Unreal 3 for that.

I dunno, I think this is on a whole nother level. To me, this is the first time celshaded models actually looked like drawings and not.. celshaded models.
That depends though on how efficient the team is. Because this is their first 3D fighter (on a new engine), and their second 3D game (I think?), so I don't think they'll be able to pump many characters. I'm expecting 16-18 characters for the first installment personally, with 2-4 new characters.

Wow the graphics are amazing! But I'm underwhelmed by the actual fighting on display though, it doesn't seem to have changed very much. Will have to see what new changes they'll bring to the system.
I wouldn't count on that, Daisuke's not reprising his role as Sol (and I hope someone asks why! I'm not going to be able to unhear Nrvnsqr from his new VA).

That looked absolutely amazing. My initial disappointment about it not being sprites has vanished after just one view of that trailer. I'm really liking Ky's new look as well.
My only gripe about this.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!
Oh man I cannot wait.
I'm not a huge fan of the new chunked-out designs just yet but holy hell does it look nice in motion!

Sol used to have a different VA in the story scenes anyway, even back in the GGXX days. I think Ishiwateri may have been rad enough for the ingame move calling but lacked the chops for the story stuff. If they're having even more voiced lines that's probably why he stepped down.
Well, it's not really their first 3D fighter if you count Battle Fantasia. But I'm not sure how much staff would be shared from that game.

They probably kept the choppy animations for gameplay reasons. Smoother animation could mean adding more frames to moves which could affect the gameplay.
Maybe though, so take it with a grain of salt. I personally like the shitty animation. Part of guilty gear's charm in a way.

I wouldn't have it any other way! How else am I supposed to tell I'm on the right frame for an FRC?

"My only gripe about this."
It's largely what makes it look so similar to the 2D games.

There is dolphins coming out off my dick, btw. May and Faust c'mon.
Shows the intended pronunciation of the title, too: "Xrd" = "iguzâdo".
Quick reminder: they pronounced "X" as "zekusu" and "XX" as "iguzekusu".
