TITANIUM BEAST!!! Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Apparently it's not a key chain, but a charm strap.
Yuhoke Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Official Japanese Boxart Images http://gematsu.com/2014/10/guilty-gear-xrd-sign-japanese-box-art In the centre (where Sol's fist is), whose white hands are those? The other one is also grabbing Valentine's hand? Also Leo with that book. I'm imagining him in Margaret's fighting stance now
Zedar90 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 In the centre (where Sol's fist is), whose white hands are those? The other one is also grabbing Valentine's hand? Ky and Sin. It's Sin's that is grabing Ram's arm
king of heart Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I pre-ordered my copy from Gamers. Anyone knows if I am getting something as an extra ?
Coffeeling Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 That box art is ugly as hell. The faces will haunt me in my nightmares probably. The Valentine earhats also just don't fit at all. Really hope we get a different cover in the... oh, right, I live in Europe.
BladeOfJustice7 Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 The Famitsu DX pack is showing the key chain... Apparently it's not a key chain, but a charm strap. And we get a fucking mini belt buckle of the main character instead... -___-

Really hope we get a different cover in the... oh, right, I live in Europe. Yeah i'm living in Europe as well (I'm Smooth Operator on gaf btw, we talked a little while ago), maybe we'll get the limited edition cover :x
TekkamanArk Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I just hope the European guys don't get "Everyone has a cold" boxart like Blazblue (not sure if CP had it too).
D.R.F. Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Personally Id rather have the ggx looking art they had. The one with sol in the front grabbing the chain with his right hand and junkyard dog resting on his shoulders, with ky in the back flashing his sword. Maybe its too GGX though Once I can get on my computer ill post it

Jocelot Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Everybody reaching and grabbing for things on that cover. Meanwhile Leo just thinking "I like to read."
SolxBaiken Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 pics? I believe he's talking about the arcade poster which wasn't nearly X enough, since no one's head was directly in anyone's crotch
Tenj|n Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 pics? This one. http://www.famitsu.com/images/000/048/010/52fb3dbb23b25.html

NeoStrayCat Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, BladeofJustice, stuff happens, but hey, belt buckle for US LE anyways? @_@ (Also, got that arcade poster from AX from the Aksys Booth, lol, but yeah, would be nice if that was the cover art, but hey, gotta put a cast of characters in it somehow with the BB:CP and P4AU effect) Also, besides stream stuff, nothing yet about the Xrd PS4/+ demo info? Probably not yet, but will still wait for more info how its gonna be? I wonder if its gonna work like the US E3/AX/Evo Build (Everyone except Sin and Elphelt, and 1 match only vs.) or if it might be a limited character demo only? Who knows, guess we'll see soon enough.
king of heart Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 I didn't see anyone talking about this. But lazy ass Madcatz are keeping their Xrd stick the same as the TGS which is a VLX layout. Not a Noir/Astro city layout which is used in the Arcade cabinets!http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/000/939/939092/ I bought the blue one and with my own art it would look way better than theirs.
D.R.F. Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 That is pretty lame. Better buying the morbidly expensive one

Because there's not enough demand to justify having to invest in new tooling for a new layout (in other words, most people won't just not buy it because it's not Noir/Astro and most people who want those will likely just customize). That, and changing the layout will make the stick incompatible with some of the accessories built for the TE2, such as LED boards, both MadCatz' own and 3rd party ones such as Paradise Arcade's LVT3 which are specifically designed to fit into the TE2. I also disagree on the art bit. The Xrd TE 2 is one of the classiest looking sticks I've seen.
Antitidus Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Yeah, BladeofJustice, stuff happens, but hey, belt buckle for US LE anyways? @_@ (Also, got that arcade poster from AX from the Aksys Booth, lol, but yeah, would be nice if that was the cover art, but hey, gotta put a cast of characters in it somehow with the BB:CP and P4AU effect) Also, besides stream stuff, nothing yet about the Xrd PS4/+ demo info?

Heh, I think you are expecting too much from this demo. I only expect 4 characters at most. Sol, Ky, I-no, and Axl or May.

I got the poster too, I had friends who went to EVO pick one up for me. It's up on my wall right next to my Iron Man calendar ^_^ It makes sense for us to get the FREE belt buckle in North America, because we are all FREE afterall lol. I don't need to play a demo for a game I know Ill be spending countless hours playing lol. I didn't see anyone talking about this.

What is the blue one made for, is it just a ps3/ps4 TE arcade stick? That is pretty lame. Better buying the morbidly expensive one I know right? And excellent choice of words lol.

They made a stick for a game that doesn't have an Arcade port with a it's predecessor's lay out which was the Soul caliber 5 stick. And changed the layout for the Tekken TE stick when no one uses the R2 button in Tekken Tag. A Sega Arcade Game stick should use the Sega layout especially if it was for the Japanese market. Just releasing The usual TE2 with different balltop, Art, plain black sides doesn't make it an official stick at all.
TheRealBobMan Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Heh, I think you are expecting too much from this demo. I only expect 4 characters at most. Sol, Ky, I-no, and Axl or May. They're doing a time-limited demo right? If the demo locks you out after a specific date, there's no risk of people abstaining from buying the game because they have a demo. Odds are they'll use the E3/AX/Evo demo. It's easier to add a few lines of code to it that restricts use after X day, or after X amount of time spent playing, and test that for a few days, than to make another demo where they lock out a bunch of characters. The time they spend working on the demo could be better spent making a good product. While it probably wouldn't be that hard to restrict some of the characters, it's more work than they need to do. Each character that they'd lock would introduce the possibility of some bugs, which means the testing department has to grind on that instead of the main game, right before release (the main game is probably still having new content implemented right now). Sounds like a terrible idea. The more that the demo gets changed, the more stuff there is to test, and the higher the risk of programmer time spent fixing things instead of adding things to the main game.
