Anyway, I don't have much to complain about. With Extend there was a ton to bitch about, my only complaints thus far are as follows: 1.) Looks like Burst recharges now. Not sure if this is a good idea as it will be a crutch for people who early burst and punish people who conserve their bursts for later in the game. Doesn't seem like a good idea. We'll see how it goes 2.) No new characters from existing BB canon. No phantom/jubei/kokonoe/etc. Would have liked to see Clavis Alucard, even if he's dead. Perhaps DLC, then they'll release a "Extend" version that nobody wanted. Meh. If the new characters are just a way for them to link blazblue to "X Blaze", i'll be pissed. inb4 bullet is a transfer student from x blaze school!1! 3.) I do hope this is the final game. I know the guy making this said that he was having a "hard time" concluding everything in this one game, but I hope they kept to their work in making this the final game of the trilogy. I'm not so sure anymore after seeing these 3 new characters out of nowhere. 4.) The final boss better not be that mech machine gizmo at the end of the trailer. I hope that "machine" is just a vessel for the final boss, as it was in the previous games. Keep Saya as the console-exclusive final boss please. 5.) I'm not seeing enough new additions to existing characters. Looks like for Jin, as I expected they would, they just transformed his unlimited DD into a normal DD. Is that seriously his only new addition though? Has his training with Jubei taught him anything at all? Doesn't seem like the other characters have changed too much either My only complaints at this time. Which is good because my list was a lot longer for previous installments, so they're obviously on the right track. I just hope they can iron out the kinks before the game is released next spring/summerish(?) stateside. Noel Vermillion will transform into Mu-12 in gameplay, and Nu-13 will now be incorporated into Saya as the console exclusive boss. Pulling this out of my ass by the way

Nope, it's Litchi's. If you drown out one of the audio channels in a program like Audacity you can hear the narrator's voice crystal clear, my (broken) headset does this automatically due to faulty wiring. It's definitely Litchi's.

http://kotaku.com/5923867/blazblue-studio-teasing-a-new-game?comment=50717721 BlazBlue creators teasing a new game that has to deal with an "Ancient dwelling woman". I'm going to make an argument that it's an announcement of UNIB for Consoles. It would be a bombshell for Arc Systems to be involved for this versus French Bread. But if you think about it, French Bread doesn't have the publisher's arm they once had (with Type-Moon and Sega, for instance) and so would probably have a difficult time shipping this game on consoles on their own, let alone getting the game to work on consoles in the first place. So i'm willing to bet, that if this story is about UNIB, is that Arc Systems is going to market and push this game's console release while French Bread focuses on the arcade version. This would also allow marketing for UNIB to take place in the west, a place French Bread would have very little public influence over. Plus, French Bread has been VERY active on their Twitter lately, posting a couple times every day for the past month. Something's up behind the scenes. It's almost like they're dying to announce the game for consoles already formally, they've already talked publically about the story mode. In addition, it makes SENSE for Arc Systems to go after this game. It's direct competition for BlazBlue, so it makes perfect sense they'd want to acquire this title rather than to compete with it.

Is anyone REALLY surprised by their decision to region lock? Did anybody miss when THIS happened to BlazBlue Extend? http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?14161-BlazBlue-extend-is-region-locked-in-the-west-What-Why! I tried to warn you guys that they were getting tough with their region locking starting with Extend, region locking a game that previously had not been region locked before, but nobody listened to me. Kind of a shame, really. This doesn't surprise me in the latest. Extend was merely foreshadowing their region locking policy to come.

lol, no. I'm willing to bet the patch is mostly to add support for american servers for the game so we can play with the JP players.

yeah, you can preorder it here from the US Site http://phantombreaker.7sixty.com/ edit: that IS the Special Edition...i don't think you can preorder the normal edition yet.

god dangit. I imported this game just because I thought it wouldn't get localized, 5pb games rarely do. I guess they were serious when they said they wanted a global audience. ... -looks both ways- DAY ONE.

Vastita looks like they looked at Rachel and V-13 in BlazBlue and decided to fuse them both together into one single character, then give her lasers and the red-gem in forehead trope; it's easily the least inspired character design thus far, sadly. Luckily the other characters are looking nice and dandy Also, lol. Carmine's christmas avatar looks like a woman. I don't know if I want to main him anymore.

So now they're posting pieces from the soundtrack on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/wwwnecrostormcom thoughts?

WOW. This is amazing. Is that one girl in the middle supposed to be Amaze? You just guessing what she looks like?

I wonder if this game's storymode, if it has one when/if it comes to consoles, will be closer to a shonen or a seinen. I'm hoping its the later but seeing the protagonist seems to be a generic high school student caught in a generic battle i might be disappointed.

Use numpad or a gamepad. If you want to use a gamepad like a 360 controller, plug it in before booting up the exe. If you're on a laptop and can't use a gamepad you'll have to hit the numlock button then you can just the letter keys.

the controls thing is garbage unless you know mmf's tricks to change controls. otherwise, just plug any sort of gamepad into your computer, the game recognizes it. yeah, demo's great, the review on SRK is bullshit and biased anyway.

actually they said the demo is delayed by three days so...thursday/friday is the day. also.....*ragequits* edit: *unragequits* Site updated. Finally some demo details and new gameplay info.

This is the last time i'm posting about an update that doesn't include new site updates or gameplay videos We're supposed to be getting a demo in 2 weeks and still no gameplay. Anywho, 2nd deathrip is up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YIT7Lhd4rs&hd=1 They did confirm this game has three female characters, Aracno, Amaz-1-ng, and Nova. I swear, if they start posting Plasma deathrips next without gameplay imma ragequit.

Oh My God http://news.dengeki.com/elem/000/000/380/380572/ They announced the release date for the Xbox version as October 6th...that's TOTALLY My Birthday! O:

WELL. New Video launched AND two new characters! The first female character revealed and some other dude http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/character.html In addition, they just launched a new Fatality Video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac3PK4kdR-s As I figured, it's just a fatality video, nothing more.

WEBSITE Update http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/deathcargo.html Websites a lot more flashy now looks like this game's real. Screenshots added.

http://marketplace.xbox.com/ja-JP/Product/%E3%83%95%E3%82%A1%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88%E3%83%A0%E3%83%96%E3%83%AC%E3%82%A4%E3%82%AB%E3%83%BC/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802465607de Demo 2 is now live.

Game's out, video time. Opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WahGAuZh9b4 Xbox Live Gameplay -Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYKIR8oSNkM -Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLqyauLSoiY I will livestream the story mode when I get it.

Site updated again. With grammar fixes, and this new character. http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/morbo.html I think i'm getting in rhythm. If i'm correct, the site updates with new information every 2 or 3 days at 11PM EST. P.S: The new character makes me want to puke. I don't even want to begin to think what his "fatalities" are...

OKAY, with less than 15 hours before the game is launched, Famitsu decided to release videos of people that DON'T SUCK. They aren't "professionals", as the game isn't even out yet, but they are classified as "intermediate", so they know some combos at least. Sadly, these are all characters we've seen in motion before. We still don't have good footage of Fin, Infinity, Rimi, Kurisu or Phantom (boss only?) Regardless, here are the videos. Cocoa and Waka: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BWH8KQMySk Ren and Cocoa: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GjU_rd2FZQ Now, um, I gotta tell you guys. My game ships on the 2nd and 3rd, and I most likely won't get it until later next week. However, in the meantime, i'm betting videos will be all over youtube starting tommorow afternoon when the game is launched. I'm always late to the party (sad face.jpg). Regardless, i'll try to get a Livestream and some videos going when I get it, and I promise the FIRST THING i'm testing the second it's in my hands is Region Protection (I have american and japanese 360s I can test with. No EU ones, sorry!) http://5pb.jp/games/phantombreaker/top.html And they have a countdown if anyone's interested.

The site updated, apologizing for the grammatical errors. A New Character Bio was also added http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/leach.html Still no screenshots.

SITE UPDATE! Characters Page: Only Plasma is Listed atm, http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/char.html Story Page: http://www.necrostorm.com/games/deathcargo/story.html no screenshots yet

Demo 2 is already uploaded (its on the bottom of the list), it's just locked so I can't dl it. Damn them EDIT: 2 new videos are up on my youtube.
