I forgot to put the ESRB slate on it when I originally submitted.

Rav, any idea what time the psn will update tomorrow?

 

[Ravidrath]

Bad news, EU folk...

Just got word from SCEE that they've delayed it to the 24th.

No reason was given, there was no communication, and I don't know why they moved it a full week away when they could've moved it only a day or two.

As you know, we've consistently had problems with this sort of thing with SCEE, so I apologize for getting your hopes up when I probably should've known something like this would happen again.

We're being told that they expect it to be up by noon.

I'll probably deploy the patch a few hours before that.

So, the EU release date for Beo is going to wind up being the 29th, knowing how generally useless SCEE is.

Anyone have MKX that can give me a screenshot of our credit for the stick driver?

No worries, SCEE gonna scee. Totally expected.

Is it all good for EU XBLA Skullgirls? I remember we had issues, before, with the patch being up for download, but the game update file still missing.

 

[Mr. X]

360 owners get first dibs. DLC and Patch are live.

Hey Rav! Curious if the news of the new Vita update freeing up memory will help you guys out making an even better version of SG for vita? Not sure if system memory really helps much and maybe you knew before the public did but none the less I am curious. Also I cannot wait to buy your game for the third time on a platform I play ALL THE TIME. You guys are the bomb.

Now the stages can be upgraded from static 2D to 2D with 2 frames animation.

Hope the extra ram helps the game have the original stages and what I wrote stay as a joke

Though we have not seen anything most of the really great 2d fighter ports of Vita have pretty long load times. I have no idea how game code and stuff works but I would most likely take load time improvements over level improvements. Either way is cool, and honestly they seem like the sort of developer that would not have been making a Vita version (especially cross play) that was jank in the first place.

Lab Zero does a great job, I am just making a joke because before the vita patch that gave more ram they were "wrestling" with what they had already.

Still working out some kinks in performance and memory, but that's the most of it.

Backgrounds are currently 2D, but we'll see if we can get them back to 3D after some further optimization, now that we have the additional memory they just unlocked.

3D stages with animation are amazing, but in the end when you are playing a lot you wont notice much trying to hit that damn Peacock with some annoying assist...I am not mad or anything, no sir.

 

[TheOGB]

So Rav, when will the Humble Store soundtrack be updated?

 

[Gintoki]

Just got a 500 MB update on the steam version. Its happening

 

[PandaPedinte]

I just got the update on Steam but I can't find the DLC page for Beowulf

 

[DiscoShark]

Yeah the update is out on PS3, just waiting for the PS Store to update for the Beowulf DLC.

 

[Mr. X]

Grace Chen pls ;-;

 

[Ravidrath]

Just got word from Sony that it should start appearing in the PSN store in about an hour.

 

[Gintoki]

Up on PSN!

 

[PandaPedinte]

[Rivitur]

Awww Yea!

 

[PandaPedinte]

From twitter:

‏@LabZeroGames
Working with Valve to get Beowulf up on Steam ASAP - will let you know when I know more.

 

[CrossRhythm]

Weird, I'm on the east coast and it's not up yet. Is it listed under skullgirls or skullgals?

 

[Mr. X]

Beat Beo Story. So much fan service, you guys killed it.

Use the link a few posts up, I couldnt find it searching through the search on ps3 psn store.

 

[Ravidrath]

Steam has informed us that Beowulf has been published, and should be propagating through the store servers now!

EDIT: That was fast.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/245177/

Still seems to be propagating to the console store servers, but it's up on the web store.

[MisterLuffy]

Beowulf is up on steam.

 

[SolarKnight]

Beowulf is up on steam.

I'm not seeing him :/

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I just updated the game on steam and he was already in my character select list, so have you updated it?

[Cosmo Clock 21]

If you got a key from the IGG campaign, he gets added to your game automatically. If you bought it elsewhen, you need to go to the DLC page to grab him.

Oh, so that's why I never have to go and buy ever character. Good to know.

 

[Ravidrath]

Yeah, the IGG codes had all the DLC associated with them from the very start.

 

[SolarKnight]

Yeah I just needed to restart Steam

That is always the answer.

 

[El Sloth]

Ha, Beowulf's story mode was fun. Always leaves me wanting more. Off to replay Eliza's

Alright Rav... What's the new features coming to the ps4? : 3

Well at least the patch is out, and there are a lot of people playing online! I can wait for Beo.

 

[Thomasorus]

That Beo story mode was fun! But now we need Annie... Damn I never though I would say that.

 

[EastOfEden]

I didn't really like

Spoiler

Annie's

appearance that much. IDK, she just felt like Deus Ex Machina: the character, and took the focus off Beo a bit too much. Still, loved the story mode.

And yep, this pretty much confirms she'll be a playable character if Skullgirls 2 happens. After Black Dahlia and Isaac, of couse

So is it just me or is Beowulf not appearing in the Steam Store?

Edit: Nevermind, he's just not on the Skullgirls page for some reason.
