On the other hand, Nu Hype and Program Hugs.EXE engaged! Now I just need Hilda, Penny and/or Lambda for Ultimate Sword Chucking Action! Hoping Es and Tager’s presence drives up Kokopuffs and Nine’s odds. Celica, Terumi, Mai and Hibiki seem to be doing well in the 10th Anniversary Character Poll at the moment, so that might help them get spots. If they continue with the series-specific trailers, hopefully they’ll wipe out the IT in one fell swoop for the January Arc Nama reveals on the 19th, before they apparently bring a new playable build to Evo Japan for some big reveals (hopefully concerning the ETC slots,) then we’ll get Blake, Yang and hopefully more RWBY characters at RTX Sydney the first weekend of February, before the February Arc Nama reveals on the 16th.
So judging by the “expect more news in early 2018” line at the end of the trailer, it looks like we might see the next trailer at EVO Japan, and then at RTX Sydney the week after. So that’s at least 6 character reveals back to back, which should bring the total count to 26. Unless this game is going full on MUGEN, I expect 3 more months of character reveals in March, April and May, bringing the total to 35, and a release somewhere in summer, so BBTAG is not going to EVO this year
Even if it’s not out in time for EVO (which I’m still trying to be hopeful for), we’ll most likely get a bunch of playable stations at EVO at the ASW booth at the very least.
We’ll most likely be getting double reveals in January and February, with the monthly Arc Nama streams being held on January 19th, (that will hopefully round out the IT in one go,), a week before Evo Japan, and on February 16th, following RTX Sydney, so you can add another 6-8 to your predicted total. They haven’t missed a monthly stream since they started doing reveals in September, and Rachel, Hazama and Weiss, who were revealed at RTX London, and Noel, Chie and Waldstein, who were the stream reveals, were just five days apart from each other. I can’t see them breaking that pattern, especially if they’re starting to pick up the pace as we enter 2018.
lets be honest. it would be niche game anyway.
i wouldnt pull the gun now…question is now how much will they cost and if they are actually some reanimations or not which justifies them being extra paid content.
There are some new stuff like Rachel, tag supers and characters that weren’t able to run in their original games having to do it now because of the new system.
I’m kind of skeptical but waiting for the “full” price. If it’s U$40+U$20 or U$30+U$30 I’m fine with it but anything more and I’ll wait for a discount like I usually do with ArcSys games.
Funny that the last DLC is not in a bundle with other characters. Maybe is someone special… or it’s just Yang coming really late.
Well, it’s not really a surprise Blake and Yang would be coming late since they have to be built from the ground up.
Either way, I’m actually glad the game gets to be out before EVO, aren’t pissed about the DLC thing since they still have stuff to finish up, and would much rather be able to play the game in June than in November/December.
That, and I’m still hoping for dual audio, of course.
Well ain’t that some ol’ horseshit. P4 reps is only the core 4/Class 2-2… not even Teddie. RWBY fans are the worst shafted of course.
Only way this might be remotely okay is if the base game is pretty cheap, or if the characters come in bundles like what SF4 did for AE and Ultra. Knowing Arc’s dlc practices though… yikes
Congrats to ArcSys. They are now yet another Capcom for the same mistakes as SFV & MvCI (the latter is mostly blame on Marvel) on roster inclusions & size
