Whatever it is, it’s a real NEW 2D fighting game, so it’s GOOD NEWS.
I hope this only comes out on next gen consoles
Hidef backgrounds, perhaps.
Its sad to know that you’re incapable of learning a new game.
@orka: I didn’t know they weren’t involved. I didn’t keep up with the game, so yeah…
what’s funny is, just like the SF heads, like 80% of you guys are like “this is cool and all but where is (insert old char here) at???”
accept the fact that when done right change is good for a series
This game looks much better then BasaraX visually, that’s for sure. Looking forward to seeing what it’s like.
This must make Capcom wonder whether they jumped ship on 2D too early. A bit embarrasing for them, maybe, that other people are finding sprite-based fighters still commercially viable.
My sentiments exactly. They FINALLY are making something 2D in the guilty gear universe that is not literally an update with 1 1/2 to 2 characters. And think of just how many times the same characters have shown up. FUCK THEM. Samurai lookin Sol clone + new cast = WELCOME
I hope Ky’s son, Sin, for Overture is in it. That is really an interesting design that I figure would be wasted on GG2 (which I just can’t see myself getting into). I want to stick flagpoles up asses.
Looks cool.
May have to invest in a Type X2 board:
KoFXII
SF4 (possibily)
Blazblue
And Im sure there will be more in the future.
Really depends on if ASW will think it’s worth their time to make the jump. My guess leads me to believe, that after the travesties that were BF and GG2:O…they may be just a bit shy to stick their necks out again, and lose more money in the process. If they really want to try and basically say “Hay GUYS! YOU LIKED GUILTY GEAR?! WELL THEN, YOU’LL LOVE BLAZBLUE!”, they’ll want to keep it where GG fans can get it.
Thus, I believe this will probably end up being a PS2/Wii game, at the most.
Besides, a strictly 2D game…on the PS3/360…? And it’s NOT a downloadable on XBLA/PSN? Yeah…right…
No homo doe…
Haha, awesome. Totally unexpected.
Disgaea 3 is a good example of a PS3 game that is a bit “underwhelming” graphically but is getting a full retail release… Its a long shot, but I wouldn’t say that it’s out of the realm of complete possibility.
Yay
2D will NEVER die!
Granted, but to Nippon Ichi’s credit, they probably stand to have a larger crowd to cater to, than the smaller one that a 2D fighting game (especially a NEW 2D fighting game, no less!) stands to get. Disgaea is a brand-name that is pretty well known, so I’m willing to bet that it got more play and attention just because it was another installment in the series that people already know they like.
Basically, if this was a new Guilty Gear game of this sort, I could see ASW taking the chance. But I don’t think the same could be said for a new and untested IP, who’s only real claim to fame is that it’s from the same guys who brought you GG, HnK and (soon), SBX. If that much were true, then maybe more people would have been willing to give BF a decent chance BEFORE being turned off by it later on.
So, my personal belief is that I just don’t see a PS3/360 release in this game’s future. Not when a new franchise could basically use all of the positive and widespread attention it could get, and it would only stand to get that by being released on the console(s) that most people would stand to have (Wii/PS2).
Wow, the character designs are looking so original… :rolleyes:
Well, it can’t be too bad if it has a cute chinese girl with huge thighs in it at least. Surely there’ll be one right? Right!?
looks really cool
Ragna looks awesome
oh and as far as the title BLAZ BLUE, it’s pronounced Blay Blue in case anyone cares
japanese translation plz
I figured the complaining would start soon…to each their own. I like how it looks so far, as for me I’m more impressed with this visually than SF4. That’s my opinion.
