Shadow Draygon Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm hyped for a reason I just thought up: Someone extracts the models from the game and you get them somehow. I expect amazing comics from you after that. Yeah depending on how that goes I maybe have to revive Holy Zen. GG has more lovable characters the BB.

Oh god, if that's possible, then the models could be ported to other PC games... I'm now imagining playing GTAV with the player characters replaced with GG chars. It's pure gold. Hell you could replace the peds with them too...I don't know who I'm gonna replace the cops with. Hope this isn't too off-topic.

Hope this isn't too off-topic. Off topic: The cops should be Robo-Ky. He's been mass produced right? On-topic: I want to see some HD Instant Kills. Sending people to the moon in glorious cel-shaded 3D would make my jaw drop.
Jotamide Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 It's relieving to see Jam is still on the cards. But why does her hair loop around the back in the 1st picture and on the 2nd one it loops on the front?
Tigre Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 No promises- but it is running on Unreal Engine which should make things (hopefully) not complete shit to get at. Of course this is all theory until the game is released. Arcsys is a jp dev though so everything could be packaged ass backwards, and I wouldn't even be surprised.
Secret Stork Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Anyone notice how Sol's Fireseal looks more like the sword he used back in his Holy Order days? Anyways SUPER HYPED for this!
Kyosuke Kagami Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Holy shit, Arcsys FINALLY made 2.5D a reality (and no, FUCK all of Capcom's shit). I like
kosmos badgirl Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 So a while ago a friend of mine found what looked to be an auction for artwork of Guilty Gear characters. It looks like one of those doujinshi artbooks, I have a bunch of them for other franchises, it's not rare in Japan that fans make their own artbooks with their own designs or interpretations of popular franchises.
TITANIUM BEAST!!! Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 This looks amazing. Can't wait for more information to pop up.
Scottie Yosh Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Can't wait to see what they do with pot and aba.
Sanger Zonvolt Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) Made something real quick in my hype for the game. Edited May 20, 2013 by Sanger Zonvolt
STenSatsu Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I honestly can't imagine this being canonically after GG2. I just don't know how they'd keep all the old characters and I'd really hate for them to drop some of the roster. Though the possibility of seeing Valentine and Sin along with other GG2 chars in a legit fighter GG is also super tempting. Guess they could just say fuck it to storyline but I feel like they wouldn't do that given GG2. Also the Nico trailer version makes the gameplay look much better and faster.
Ctrlaltwtf Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 2.5D transition was a long time coming. I've always thought it was somewhat ridiculous that they traced 2D sprites over existing 3D models. Rendering capabilities are plenty powerful enough to make 3D look anime and not like shit.
Chainsaw Guitar Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Oh Zato, you're still not quite 6 feet under yet! Thankfully Millia's still there to give a helping hand. I'm really curious to see how Eddie managed to pull through without having to get a new host. Pretty cool that Arcsys has managed to make 3D animation look almost as good as 2D. Oh yeah, and hooray for Ishiwatari finally being able to make it past XX!
Aureliano Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Agreed on that, cutscenes in the middle of fights just make everything feel slower. Yeah I agree UMvC3 is so slow with all those character inserts during supers.
Ctrlaltwtf Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Only thing I want super inserts on are IKs/AHs (that's me hoping BB will follow this 2.5D route) and by that I mean only after you successfully land the hit. I really look forward to 3D character intros as well.
Krackatoa Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Well, I picked up GG seriously back in October. I'm glad I did, because I am not only crazy hyped, but mad ready to dig into this on launch day. This will be a grand revival. I can't wait.

Pete278 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 You're not. I want to see what people reactions would be if Bridget was suddenly built like a Jojo's character. Bridget's already built like a Jojo's character. A part 5 Jojo's character, sure, but you didn't specify 1 or 2.
Starlight777 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Bridget's already built like a Jojo's character. A part 5 Jojo's character, sure, but you didn't specify 1 or 2. Yeah I should've said Parts 1 through 3. Part 4 is where everything started to get slimmed down and streamlined.
White Man Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm not sure I even want all 25 XX characters back in Xrd. Not in the very first installment, at least. As far as I'm concerned, AC+ is still a perfectly enjoyable game, and the +R update should breathe some new life into the competitive scene when it comes out in 2019 or whenever. I have no desire to see Xrd replace AC+/R. The best sequels build on their predecessors while providing new content for a fresh experience. I want the gameplay to be as similar to the existing system as possible because I love the existing system, but if everything down to the roster is the same then this isn't really a "new" Guilty Gear as much as it's a 2.5D remake of the last game. I want some new characters in this game; I also want some of the old characters to disappear. It's inevitable that ASW will make a dream match title at some point with every GG character packed into one game, but for now I want the story to move forward and leave behind some of the characters whose stories have already concluded. I don't want GG to turn into SF where they retcon character deaths and ignore everybody's ages (i.e. Sakura and Makoto as teenagers at the same time) for the sake of keeping the fans from bitching that their favorite character didn't make it in. If you're a diehard Bridget fan and they don't end up bringing him back or they change his appearance and gameplay or whatever, then pick up somebody new in Xrd and go back to whatever version of AC to get your Bridget fix when you need it. Folks should still be playing that because it'll still be a fun game. They can save all the zany canonically impossible matchups for a dream match game or the BB crossover we all know is coming. Just for the time being, I want the series to move forward and give us something different. This game doesn't need to be THE DEFINITIVE GG that renders every previous installment obsolete in order to be a good sequel.
Casper Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm probably in the minority here, but I'm not sure I even want all 25 XX characters back in Xrd. Not in the very first installment, at least. i agree completely and i think it's important to drop characters and introduce new ones if they are really dedicated to progress. that said, i will still be pretty bummed out if A.B.A isn't included.
Vulcan422 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 I'm definitely hoping to see some Overture characters in the game since it apparently takes place in 2187, which is a year after Overture. But if they had to replace characters... -Sin wouldn't need to replace anyone, just make him different from Ky. -Izuna could replace Slayer. This would be easy to do since Slayer ends up leaving the human world to go back to his own realm in his AC+ ending. -Paradigm could replace Zappa. Zappa has no real relevance on the plot with the exception of S-ko possibly being Axl's girlfriend Megumi. -Valentine could replace Robo-Ky. Overture has no mention of them, so I'm sure the PWAB's plan to have them scrapped went into effect. Plus Valentine is apparently mass-produced according to That Man. -Raven could replace Testament. Let's face it, Testament doesn't actually do anything anymore. I like him gameplay-wise but his characterization has turned into "THIS SHRINE IS MY HAPPY PLACE AND YOU CAN'T COME IN." In addition, Raven's dimensional powers, with the slow fields and the illusion shit, definitely give him the "trickster" vibe that Testament's style has. -That Man could replace Order-Sol. Secret boss.
