Arc System Works and Aksys, please bring Guilty Gear XX Accent Core to PS3/360/PC!

[shezmu]

Here here. Rename it to something like "www.OMGBEEZ.com"

Seconded. Also, I vote to hold daisuke's loved ones ransom until he makes the new GG.

EdgeKun mentioned how in BF's case they were able to just directly copy the ISO and go about it that way. Now I don't really know much about PS3, but nowadays isn't it pretty PS2 backwards compatible? I just did some research and it sounds like Accent Core works on the 80 gig model (although some people talk of some hick-ups on start-up but after which it seems to run fine). So perhaps they could use the ISO? Even if it worked this does not solve the issue for the 360 or the PC (auto runs as a PS2 emulator? I don't know these things.), or the fact that they would have to add net play. Just a thought. As previously mentioned we'll likely just have to wait for the Naomi emulation which I have no contentions about. What happened to my original flashing Ky forrest av ? That thing was an antique.

Good idea, but there are a few inherent flaws in this.

1.) "Now I don't really know much about PS3, but nowadays isn't it pretty PS2 backwards compatible?"

No. PS3 backwards compatibility is at an all time low as far as I'm aware. I say this because new models shipped don't even have the software emulation. It's pretty terrible, and the single biggest reason I refuse to support Sony with PS3. -.-

2.) In regards to Accent Core on the software emulation (the 80 gig model) I myself had heard that it was flat out unplayable. Not just due to lag, but technical problems that existed between Accent Core and the method of Software emulation they were using.

Now that said, tis otherwise a great idea. I'd even heard talk for a while that Sony was going to start releasing PS2 ISOs online through PSN (similar to Xbox Originals, and pretty much exactly what you proposed) but I guess that died in the face once PS2 backwards compatibility was ditched.

Interestingly enough, I've heard rumor that Sony is working on a new way to run PS2 games on PS3. I guess a new software emulation, but one that emulates the Emotion Engine? In summary: Supposed new shiny black magic PS2 emulation on PS3. Wouldn't hurt my feelings at all, and would at least make this option plausible.

[Blade]

If its a PS2 game from PSN, do you really need the emotion engine? I've only seen PSone games (including JP GG) on PSN.

[KD]

Pretty sure you wouldn't since they would probably just adjust any PS2 game so that it would be played on all PS3 consoles. That's if they were to do such a thing in the first place though. I do remember hearing some stuff about them thinking about selling PS2 and Dreamcast games on PSN.

[Circuitous]

A PS2 game on PSN that didn't use Emotion Engine would have to be ported to PS3 code. No alternative here.

[EdgeKun]

The talk of PS2 games going onto PSN was back when PS2 support was still available at least by software emulation. When you remove PS2 support (even for discs) be it emotion engine or software compatibility from the PS3, then the PSN idea dies then and there. So sure you wouldn't -need- the emotion engine, but you still need a PS3 that's capable of PS2 backwards compatibility. (Unless you ported it to a PS3 format, but then you're not really doing a digital release of Accent Core PS2 so much as you are doing a new release of the code from the ground up.) Was mostly pointing out in my earlier post that it'd be very feasible except that PS2 gaming isn't very do-able on current PS3s. =\ Even then, I'd perfer a full re-release on LIVE and PSN so that I can enjoy it on my 360. Can't let you PS3 kids have all the fun. =P

You can use ps2 emulation to play it on pc, ps3 backwards compatibility seems to be scrapped for now (unless you have one of the early models with the EE)

[zdravkelja]

I play AC on PC using pcsx2

weird that they scrapped the whole backwards compatibility thing for the PS3. My brother told me it was all because of Sony's inability to understand what their customers really wanted and thought that the PS3 games where enough to keep them happy.

In short, a case of bad market investigation.

Anyway.

Keep the supports coming guys

[zdravkelja]

It's because ps2 is still very popular. As long as people buy it, they will not add backward compatibility to ps3.

[HamsterJohn]

Just Accent Core with solid netcode and I'll buy it. (that's right, I'll play it on ps2 even). I don't need no pretty hi-def graphics/upscaling. Besides, ps2 controller> ps3 controller.

[Circuitous]

PS2 + good netcode = lol?

[Abominable K]

Need I remind everyone that the PS2 backwards compatibility lags in general anyway?

[HeatEXTEND]

this needs to happen

[nguman]

is the wii version even good?

[Circuitous]

Of AC+? Well, it's AC+. There's an easy mode. It's fine, I suppose.

[Kayin]

is the wii version even good?

Extra options aside, it's the same.

[tokyobassist]

call me a dickhead but whats the point? isn't this game on psp and is it not adhoc party enabled? sorry i rather see GGX3 than the 20 millionth re-release of this game. Like I said before to spark some intellectual thinking on Gamefaqs (epic fail on my part), game franchises like SF, BlazBlue, GG, even stuff like Mega Man X, Devil May Cry, MGS, etc. need to keep moving forward. Hence why they are timeless classics. Releasing the same shit over and over gets fucking boring even for a franchise I like. Sports games regardless suffer this the worst. starting to rant but yeah I'm good on this but I hope Aksys listens to your pleas.

[Circuitous]

I think it's less "We want the same game again!" and more "We want the same game with good online play!" Emphasis on "good," this cannot be overstated.

right on. i get where you're coming from

[blueNINE]

Added some info to the first post, regarding how these ports would be good for those wanting to play the game on HDTVs.

As I suggested in the opening post, there are plenty of good reasons for this. At this time, I think it mostly has to do with having the game on systems for which more people have sticks, and also having good netplay (if possible), as well as making it easy for more people to try the game out and get into it.

[Mascarpone]

I support this whole heartedly, as I live in what some might refer to as "North East Bumblefuck." Point being here that I have to drive 2+ hours to meet up with people. We have no serious scene here at all and I really want to try and get back into my first love, now that I am actually approaching it with a real understanding of the fighter genre.
