^^ Why 2 copies?

He’s doing his part in supporting Arc Sys and good games. I can respect that.

ES_Curse · October 25, 2014, 4:30am

Gift?

Hawkingbird · October 25, 2014, 7:54am

One copy to play, the other to keep as a collectible?

Shareplay+Xrd Demo. You know what to do if you’re interested in playing

Oh boy, game streaming+input streaming. That’s not gonna kill your shit tier american connection at all! You’ll only be experiencing maybe 10-15 frames of delay, but still perfectly playable!

echelonNYK · October 25, 2014, 8:35am

Hey man, i’m sure there’s a few people that would like to try out Xrd for themselves. Input lag and all.

The newest iteration of the RAP for PS4/PS3 is out already here in the states w/Hayabusa stick and Kuro buttons.

Also, is anyone considering importing the Japanese version, or is everyone gonna wait until the 16th for the US version??

Hawkingbird · October 25, 2014, 9:03am

US release is just one week later. The extra wait won’t kill me. If I wanted the 6 button pad I would import but I’m good with the DS4.

mikeohara · October 26, 2014, 9:36am

I want both, but I’ll probably end up with the US Limited Edition and a TE2 if I can get my SO onboard.

Guilty Gear looks cool and I’ll most likely buy the European release once it comes out, but I’m still sceptical on how much of a community this game will gather, especially seeing how it seems to be exactly the same as the previous games which aren’t all that popular in the Western world.

I hope for the best.
Maybe some of you guys can share some insights on the GG community and what you expect the game to be on a tournament scale.

This is an interesting point. IMO, the console release of Xrd might well finally be GG’s time to shine. Multiple/too many releases in the past, bad timing, IP issues and perceived difficulty level etc have conspired to confine GG to niche status.

With the Xrd reboot, after the initial hype/uptake we might well see GG take its rightful place at the top of the Arcsys stable (rest in peace BB, lest we forget)… it still seems to draw a crowd at my local gesen…

But then again, once the hype dies down it might become just another (admittedly well designed, deep and fun) anime fighter in the Arcsys lineup.

I’m curious to see how Arcsys will maintain hype levels, market visibility and presence post-console release.

Finally, while a retail update/release is highly likely (twelve months down the line) - it is interesting to see how Arcys are going about balancing and updating the BB franchise post CP. Hopefully Xrd will take this route.

I dont know about that. Eg compare Guilty Gear X multiplatform release (DC, PC, PS2), GG XX# Reload (PS2, PC, XBOX, PSP), even GG AC+ (PS2, Wii, PSP, PS3-Xbox360 re-release)
all this at the peak of the series popularity

but now we have only PS3/PS4. Not even a hint for a PC release, let alone XB1. The statement that Arcsys would consider a PC port if their current Steam titles sell well, is out of touch with reality.

Anime players play fighters on Sony consoles. That’s pure and simply how it is and why ASW has justified not releasing it on other platforms. Because there’s no point, the bulk of the sales are going to come from Sony anyways, why even bother with other platforms.

Additionally, if Killer Instinct can have any sort of scene on one platform, I don’t see why Guilty Gear can’t.

Sin footage

d3v · October 26, 2014, 6:11pm

Is that Chusan playing as Sin?

Hatred_Edge · October 27, 2014, 1:57am

Not gonna lie, I’m interested in playing Sin. Like his range and combos.

echelonNYK · October 27, 2014, 2:36am

I agree. The eating mechanic is a bit of a turn off though.

OneSanitarium · October 27, 2014, 3:06am

Well it limits how many times you can cancel into special moves, would probably be a little silly if everything freely canceled into everything…forever. Besides, you can cancel into eating at the end of strings as well, so you should always have food meter.

Hawkingbird · October 27, 2014, 3:44am

Sin is looking like the type of character I like playing. I’ll need a sub since Baiken isn’t in.

Hatred_Edge · October 27, 2014, 4:06am

It just doesn’t look as cool as Order-Sol’s manual/action charge. Sin’s outfit is rather silly as well. But his range and combos are looking great.

But even at peak popularity, GG was always pretty niche. Plus online was in its infancy back then too. The American (European, too?) arcade scene died…

Now we take online for granted, the Xrd brand has been well established in the local arcade scene and the GG franchise has acquired a mythology/mystique… Just hoping this shit blows up in the best possible way!
