[Xrd] News & (Theoretical) Gameplay Discussion

[SolxBaiken]

I would be beyond shocked if we don't hear anything at TGS, more specifically because an annual arcade expo is held right next door to the facility.

So if ARC really is planning to unleash this puppy any time next year, they need to get the hype rolling, especially with everything else effectively "done" since CP will be heading to consoles shortly.

[Agni]

I hope we see footage soon. Seriously. I wanna see how this game actually looks in action.

[CyberAkuma]

Which means Xrd will come out on consoles in late 2014/early 2015, and the +R patch for AC should be available shortly afterward! Awesome.

Hopefully, they're already developing the arcade version and console port alongside each other, so that the port won't necessarily take 9-12 months later to come out. And then cross-gen port that shit, so that they can get the largest audience possible.

If they really are serious about trying to build up Western support for GG, they have to understand that over on this side of the pond, we're not interested in waiting that long while Japan gets to keep the game all to themselves.

"Hopefully" was an apt word to start your post with, because you have to be filled to the brim with hope to think this will ever happen with ArcSys.

I have never seen anyone drop a game because the console port took too long, apart from P4U, and that was because that game segregated the Europe from the rest of the English-speaking playerbase.

[SolxBaiken]

Parallel development probably won't ever happen with most arcade titles for the simple fact that the arcades are the hugest source of revenue, they WANT those games to take 9~12 months because that means more nickle and dimes [erm, yen~] they can squeeze out of consumers.

Once you release the consumer version you willingly give up a huge profit margin, but open the door to a whole new source of income...brand whoring merchandising!

Ill be there! Envy meeeee mwahahaha

[kosmos badgirl]

Wow, in august?, that is sooner than expected. I wonder if is an early test with only Ky and Sol to get some feedback from the players and not your average test to fine-tune the game.

[BioLogIn]

ENVY

Congratulations! You just volunteered to get us as many details about Xrd as humanly possible in the time you'll have with it! ^,^

Nah, just kidding. Be sure to have a blast.

[SolxBaiken]

Wow, I hope that HUD is nowhere near finalized @ w@

Hmm, wonder what that bar at the end of player health indicates, new guard bar?

Assuming the gear icon with the curved black bar inside is the new guard bar.

[ElvenShadow]

Of course ill report all my findings

[Jotamide]

Can't wait for the impressions!

[Jocelot]

Oh god the screenshots won't show for me. Somebody, please reupload them, I will do anything-

Edit- Nevermind, the screenshots Kurushii linked weren't working for me, but they're fine off the official site.

4 machines to play single player and 18 (9) to play versus.

[BioLogIn]

As for the screenshots, I wonder if those 'face-down cards' below Sol and Ky portrait cards bear any significance, or if they are purely decorative.

Not to sparkle speculations about tag system and GG Isuka, mind you =)

[SolxBaiken]

Hey! Tag play in X Advance Edition was sugoi as fuk! ' w'

[Jocelot]

Shower us with beautiful loketest info, people who are fortunate enough to go. I want to be showered!

[bojack]

Hope there'll be plenty of videos too.

And from the screenshots, looks like there'll be dynamic camera angles during the matches. Love that kind of stuff.

But I wonder how many characters will be playable. Ky and Sol only? All four from the trailer? Or will ASW be extremely awesome and show us the four and then a few new characters?

They have hotlink protection, just click the link then click enter on the address bar.

[Agni]

I'm iffy on the dynamic camera angles during matches...they make things seem SLOWER, usually, even though they're intended to spice up the action.

Cf. Marvel; the super-poses just are jarring as hell compared to good ol' superflash.

[Hecatom]

I don't like the hud, lol

Hopefully we will have some footage plus news of a a new character like millia or zato

[ssj2jeff]

i wonder what will happen when you do dust impossible in xrd with that dynamic camera thing.
