Yeah, I think I'm skipping this. Steam sales are around the corner, I want Unfinished Swan and my new PC is gonna be built this Winter come hell or high water. I don't have the money for shit ports.
My heart aches... I really wanted to play Guilty Gear again.
Just tried the XBLA demo and... Bravo ASW, why in the world can't I even see what kind of options the game has?
I read you can turn the graphic filter off (by default the smearing is terrible... Especially on the backgrounds), but I don't know what are the other options: I guess there are no scanlines but instead a regular sharp/pixelated look, right? Thanks guys.

No sign of this on PSN today. Does that mean it's coming next week instead?

This, my PS2 copy on the 60GB PS3 before looked amazing even when stretched to 16:9.
If this looks as good like that then I'd be satisfied. It looks HD enough for me.
Possibly. There's still no set date announced for it on the official website. Just says sometime in November for North America and Europe.

It ain't like anyone will listen. This release is only for people who already know Guilty Gear and wanted it from the start.
Arcsys did a pretty good job in screwing up the hype, pre and post release.
I don't even know if practicing on my ps2 version is worth it, since there's no real confirmation that it's going to come out the same time as Japan or even in all regions.

Then again some titles get promoted a week before or within the week of it's release, at least on PSN.

Seriously. I know it's a niche property but the name does have pull within the fighting game community. First mistake was not just giving us +R and hype people on the fact that after ten years we get a new Guilty Gear on digital platforms and do like Capcom did with Darkstalkers tease a potential brand new game even if it's barely in production.
Instead of that they do a lackluster featureless port job of the old game with added functionality added sloppily both in terms of function and pure design AND further fuck up by not adhering to the standard worldwide XBLA release practice. Staggering the PSN release will probably also bite them in the ass and cause the negative feedback from the XBLA version to dramatically effect that release even more and who knows what fuckery they'll pull with the PSN regions there.
I love this damn franchise, but damn if it isn't mismanaged as hell.

It's like they're throwing a bone to the old dog so that they can focus on petting the fat cat (BBCP).
Fuck, even though it's a great fighting game on it's own, the atrocious story and character design of BlazBlue is something I'll never get into.
Remember when the game was announced and people were saying that BlazBlue was dead and Guilty Gear would've replaced it?
Yeah, right.
Nothing can replace the king of anime fighters, Blazblue.

So has this come out in more than a couple of countries already or should I just spend the points I specifically bought for this on something else?

P4A did since BlazBlue likes to dress up like a joker every once in a while for kicks. It is back and forth.

I was thinking about getting it from JPSN, but I'd rather wait for the US version so the story mode stuff will be in English (I know, LOL PLAYING FIGHTING GAMES FOR THE STORY, whatevs).
They have to ship it to you?
Also if I did get it, can you play it alongside other NA store bought stuff?

It's sent via e-mail. You get it within a few hours, usually.
And yes. You can just make a JPSN account, buy the game, then play it on your US account.
Do you know if the JPN version has an english option?

No idea. I read on Dustloop that a lot of the options and menus and such are in English, but Guilty Gear has always been that way. What I want to find out though, is if the story mode stuff and other things like win quotes are in English when the game is played on an English system. Some Japanese games are like that. No idea thus far, though.

So does it have any english voice/text option? I also second the sentiment of really wanting at least story mode in english.
Well I can't even check because the codes they gave me don't even work :/
Unless Im doing it wrong, I get to the area where you have to pay and I pick the second option, which brings me to a page where you have to input a code, which I'm assuming is where you put your PSN code in. I tried like 5 times and it keeps denying me. I just wasted 35 bucks for nothing
I'm hearing it's fully in English. I'm still waiting because I don't to put $30 on a Japanese card. And I got AC3 to keep me busy until then.
There's a bunch of different areas on PSN where you can redeem code. Try doing it by clicking on the icon with a 12 and a pencil on it (it's on the top right corner of the store page or in account management on the xmb).
yep already tried it, doesn't work.
Hmm. I'd take it up with the place you bought it from then. Maybe they didn't activate the codes to work yet or something.

Did they patch in a proper 4:3 option for fullscreen displays?
It's pretty stupid when companies force widescreen with old arcade ports. I had to wait for a patch to play Guwange XBLA properly.

That felt like forever too, it took Cave a good 4 months or so to patch the damn thing. I guess we are better off playing the Wii or PS2 versions.
Gave me two new codes. One works the other one doesn't. FML

I had to do the same for the XBLA version, but the process was quite quick and painless in my case. Still pissed I had to buy an extra card while I had just bought one specifically for Guilty Gear.

This is so retarded. Why is PSN having to wait until forever to get the game?
Tizoc

Pretty sure this wouldn't be the first time a game was released on XBL earlier than PSN.
Master Milk

Probably won't be the last time either. But is there a reason for the delay? This isn't a new release that either company should feel a need to keep exclusive for a given period. And more importantly, it's already out on JPSN!

Eh there were games on EU and/or JPN PSN before US PSN too, look at how long it took Malicious to be released on US PSN >_>;
While on the one hand I can understand wanting the game what with it being available the way it is...I am sort of a patient person especially with games I am looking forward to.

It does.
Right now my main problem is finding a match to begin with. Just finished installing it and so far I've only seen 5 people online with only 2 that I could connect to, both were 0 bars :/
The 0 bar match had delay to make up for the lag, sorta like P4A's. Im thinking the netcode will be pretty similar to P4A, but you would probably never want to connect to 0 bar connections because the delay will fuck up your execution moreso than P4A due to GG's strict timings.

It goes on the store when psn is ready to feel my wrath. It's still having some prep time.
There's no announced release date. I had to get it from the Jpn store
Even with all this region bs, I'm very surprised there such little attention being directed towards this games release. This was supposed to be the game that killed BB and P4A in one fell swoop.

so you like KY jelly? 'cause im coming in!!!!

I always use KY
I never felt that was even close to arealistic expectation. BB and P4A both seem to be more popular than GG ever was.
