Extended version of the TGS trailer is up. New footage is mostly character and story related stuff.
Trailer

There's also two weapon demonstration videos for the Charge Spear. While both clips showcase the weapons functions, the second shows off the new Blood Arts in combat.

Charge Spear w/ Blood Arts

This game will also introduce God Arc Soldiers. It seems as though they'll fight alongside you in place of AI controlled allies on the field.

Foshy · Jan 26, 2013

Looks great. Will definitely buy this one.

B.O.O.M · Jan 26, 2013

Looks very nice

Was God Eater 1 the same that people wore regular clothings while wielding anime-ass anime weapons?

Haha, yah that's the one. This time they took the anime hair full-force too so now we've got the complete package.

Tizoc · Jan 26, 2013

Any word on this game's English release? Is it worth playing God Eater 1 for that matter, if I only focus on the SP?

Raoh · Jan 26, 2013

Looks good.

Galang · Jan 26, 2013

Looks awesome!

3Kaze · Jan 26, 2013

Funny how a psp port is looking better than most Vita games.

Sadly, no word on it. It's possible that Xseed could pick it up though but maybe that's just wishful thinking.

And the first game is at its best if you're playing MP, but the SP mode is very accommodating. You have AI team members to bring with you for missions and they surprisingly aren't terrible at helping you. So even if you're playing alone, you shouldn't run into any issues like unbalanced difficulty or garbage AI.
The game's mad repetitive though. If you don't enjoy the combat system or crafting new weapons and clothes, you may find your enjoyment diminish as you play.

The Grim Heaper · Jan 26, 2013

I really gotta get to playing my copy of the first one.

Stark · Jan 26, 2013

Probably will import this.

Loving the gameplay improvements. Redhead(?) will be mine- Actually, she is mine.

Vita version added self shadow, high res texture, real time lighting, and 4X resolution to boot. It's not a 'port'. It's actually a def version.

Now Namco and Sony should man up and add wifi play and I will be a happy man.

YES.

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 26, 2013

I imagine you'll have the choice of bringing God Arc soldiers or named characters with you on the field considering we saw the player character fighting along side named allies in the trailer.

I wonder what the draw of using the God Arc Soldiers will be though. At least, in terms of their effectiveness versus your other allies.

Also, I think GEB is good enough if you're just playing on your own. I played the entire game in single player and found it to be a pretty enjoyable experience.

The story was good too, especially later on where (DON'T READ IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON PLAYING THE GAME)

they subverted the silent protagonist trope, almost shat my pants at that scene. So good.

EDIT: Ok, I just noticed now from the screens that the God Arc Soldiers are like 2 times the size of the player character. Really would like some more information on them.

Rand6 · Jan 26, 2013

No japan release date? Do they want to go head to head with MH4?

Wynnebeck · Jan 26, 2013

I said hot damn. Please let this get localized.

Wi-fi play was already announced, wasn't it?

Lain · Jan 26, 2013

It looks pretty good.
I really hope it'll get a western release. I liked God Eater a lot (enough to buy a digital version to play on Vita) and would love to have this sequel.

Nah, just Adhoc Party for now. The way they promoted adhoc party in the earlier trailer makes it seem as if that's all they plan on doing as far as online play is concerned.

Adhoc? Sure there will be Adhoc, considering the PSP version's only real MP option.

Oyashrio-Sama · Jan 26, 2013

Looks great! I loved Burst. I hope they bring this over.

RiverBed · Jan 26, 2013

Looks great.

Are there comparative screens prom both systems or will the game look the same?

HamPster PamPster · Jan 26, 2013

Put me on the "I hope it comes over list." I bought the first one and really enjoyed it

Someone mentioned in the other thread Namco is bringing One Piece on the PS3 over but not the Vita version which doesn't inspire much hope

Here's what the PSP version looked like last year:

and then, the Vita version:

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 26, 2013

Close up of characters on the Vita for comparison with the post above.

As you can see, it looks 10x better on Vita as opposed to the PSP.

There are a lot of close ups in the trailer as well which shows off the difference in detail even more.

lepo · Jan 26, 2013

This game looks beautiful, I dig the art style and the gameplay seems pretty solid
I will import this for sure

Readvacancy · Jan 26, 2013

Will definitely import if it's not localized. The first one was good fun and this one is looking great.

Verelios · Jan 26, 2013

Yes, yes, yes, yes, butter for my Vita!

Really hope they hurry up and get this over here. I'm still having a blast with Burst.

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 26, 2013

Ok, direct comparison here from the trailer.

VS.

Q2 in Japan probably - no confirmed day yet

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 26, 2013

When I buy this it will be with a Vita.

No way I can play this on PSP after seeing that Vita footage + screens.

I'm so glad they changed their minds after their initial reveal with the Type-0 look. That was horrible.

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 29, 2013

Another comparison.

Hibari Takeda from God Eater: Burst

VS

Hibari Takeda from God Eater 2 (Vita)

Donthizz# · Jan 29, 2013

hey guys, PS Vita version is going to have trophy support right?

Donthizz# said:

I don't see why it wouldn't. Vita games normally have trophies don't they? This game is getting a spruced up Vita version so I imagine trophies will be included.

Another comparison, this time Kouta from GE:B to God Eater 2.

VS

Can't find a PSP comparison for Kanon, but they did reveal her new look for GE2.

Players of God Eater: Burst will be able to tell from the name, but Erina is

the sister of Eric der Vogelweid who died early on in the first game. She finally got her wish to become a God Eater.

all vita games require trophies, so it's highly likely.

The character models look great! They really pop out. Much more expressive than their GE1 counterparts.

Yes she is. I'm wondering what the other returning characters look like now. Guess we'll just have to wait.

Lookin' good! Hope it gets localized.

Heretic Kazuma · Jan 29, 2013

Good gawd at those comparison pics. I really hope someone localizes this. I dropped heaps of hours on the first game and enjoyed every minute of it.

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Jan 30, 2013

HamPster PamPster said:

Yes, customization is a big part of God Eater so it will naturally be returning again.

Looks to be Blood squad's mobile home base interior.

New Aragami type Marduk

After some speculating I remembered reading before that you'll visit numerous locations throughout the game, including branches. If you look in the trailer, you'll see Blood squad's home base including the Den from God Eater: Burst. Considering it's used in the trailer as a backdrop for GE:B characters giving their dialogue, and the fact that Blood's home base is mobile, that the events in the trailer cover some part of the story when Blood squad is operating near the Den, or near the area that the events of the first game take place in. I'm wondering how many God Eater branches we'll visit throughout the game, and how many new allies will appear as a result of visiting these new locations.

Gospel · Apr 27, 2013

9 minutes of incredibly blurry gameplay. It's better than nothing.

Also, new gun form: shotgun!

http://gematsu.com/2013/04/god-eater-2-shotgun-revealed

Yeeeeeaaah!

Chance Hale · Apr 27, 2013

Has Sony gave any hints that they plan on expanding Ad Hoc Party's usage to Vita games as well?

Gospel · Apr 27, 2013

I don't think they have. I'm guessing because there are less and less multiplayer games for the Vita shipping without online that it would be seen as unnecessary.

VanillaCakeIsBurning · Apr 28, 2013

I think the Hammer might be the coolest of the new weapon types. I'm not too keen on the shotgun.

I only really messed with bullets in my second playthrough and I still found them to be somewhat confusing to utilize effectively.

Thank the maker for online guides/bullets.
