[Silky]

Well....it's something!

 

[Glass Rebel]

Isn't this like the first of half a billion GGXX updates? Heh

 

[GarciaHotspur]

Where is my Xrd ?

 

[danmaku]

Nice move, but I have it on GOG already.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Seriously?

Not even plus R?

 

[viewtiful_dru]

why lol

 

[BasilZero]

Wow...isnt this version like older than Isuka? ....

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

This is a decent version, I'll take this over Isuka any day.

And Xrd isn't licensed by KISS, so it's not up to them if that heads to Steam. The more people show interest though, maybe Xrd could come to Steam sometime later. That's up to Arc and Sega.

 

[PirateKing]

So, is this gonna have online? Blazblue didn't.

 

[Bleep]

So, is this gonna have online? Blazblue didn't.

It's probably safe to assume this is the original PC version you can find on GoG which didn't have online play.

 

[gngf123]

So, is this gonna have online? Blazblue didn't.

I would be very surprised if it did.

 

[Lemstar]

Told you.

Wasn't a tough guess, though.

 

[CheesecakeRecipe]

So, is this gonna have online? Blazblue didn't.

I believe the GoG version is compatible with an unofficial patch to allow for functional online play. I imagine this would be the same release.

Got me interested, unlike Isuka. Now go after the big fish and bring me that Xrd.

 

[Persona7]

The Facebook page says it is coming to other digital platforms as well. Not just steam.

 

[Tizoc]

Since Xrd's system is based on XX #R, this'd be a good way to be get ready for Xrd if you're picking it up in the future.

Will most likely double dip, apply the online fan patch thingy then get wasted by GAFfers online because of lag :V

 

[Mufausa The 3rd]

It's a start I guess...

 

[Persona7]

Told you.

Wasn't a tough guess, though.

Especially since it was available before digitally. There was a issue with the rights holder earlier this year and it was pulled. Isuka came back but not this.

 

[Love Deterrence]

Thanks! Added it to the original post.

 

[dragonlife]

Seriously?

Not even plus R?

Yeeeeah...

This will really feel like a "will buy just for support" purchase but I shouldn't have to feel like that to get the latest version.

 

[TnK]

It has dustloop though, so yay?

How is this great news?

 

[Nocturno999]

Wake me up when it's Xrd.

 

[Tizoc]

Oh man hope there'll be a mod that'll let me put in Pot's Korean theme

[CPS2]

Kiss's definition of big news is a little out of wack.

 

[Tizoc]

Kiss's definition of big news is a little out of wack.

Little pubs gotta get all the attention they can get for their releases

 

[Volcynika]

Yeah, anyone that expected Xrd was dreaming.

 

[Mr. X]

Am I suppose to buy this hoping that it increases the odds of GGXXAC or GGXrd getting PC releases?

No thanks. If this was like the Alpha Collection and had every GGXX iteration, I'd totally bite.

 

[TheSeks]

Yeah, anyone that expected Xrd was dreaming.

Pretty much.

And like the GoG version it probably won't be able to be modded for online like the Japanese release was. :/ Not that it matters since that Chipp health change. Oy.

 

[SerTapTap]

That's even more boring than I thought...this is already on pc, I got it on GoG. Wasn't expecting Xrd but come on.

 

[Grief.exe]

Not a fighting game fan, but more diversity on the platform is always appreciated.

 

[Tizoc]

Yeah, anyone that expected Xrd was dreaming.

Well excuse me for dreaming...and to continue dreaming that Xrd will come to Steam~

 

[sixteen-bit]

lol, can't even do Accent Core?

Epic fail.

 

[Volcynika]

Well excuse me for dreaming...and to continue dreaming that Xrd will come to Steam~

Yep, tiny publisher that only brings existing versions of games to digital services (aka not paying for development of said game from scratch) totally would announce Arc developing a PC version of a game that's only been announced for consoles (of which those versions aren't even out yet) which are being handled by a different US company. Seems like a dream to me!

 

[ElTopo]

Why bother? I don't get it.

 

[Atolm]

So it's the same port I was playing more than ten years ago?

 

[danmaku]

lol, can't even do Accent Core?

Epic fail.

An AC port for PC doesn't exist. Kiss can't program a port on their own, only license existing games.

 

[GarbageBear]

You know. . .Heck, not even +R. I wouldn't even hope for +R. . .

But AT LEAST Accent Core. . .Come on. . .

That's a lot of words to say "I don't think they'll bother with a PC port"...
Which, by the way, it would make completely sense. The fact they are not even considering it should tell more about how disconnected they are from the market reality than anything else.

They may or may not eventually port it to PC. But the situation as it stands, it didn't make much sense for Kiss LTD (for a multitude of reasons) to announce a PC version of a game with the current state of Xrd.

Kinda this.

Although I'm still happy to see this available on Steam anyway, and I do think the more of these games are on Steam, the more likely others will follow suit.

 

[ZenTzen]

thats not gonna happen Kiss Ltd are just putting steam versions of already existing ASW PC games, any PC version of their other games must come from ASW and they havent bothered with it since BBCT(and BBCT PC was announced when BBCS was well underway)

 

[Retro_]

Am I suppose to buy this hoping that it increases the odds of GGXXAC or GGXrd getting PC releases?

Probably not. This isn't a recent effort by arc at all.

It's just then liscense holder for this specific game in the west releasing the game on the steam

It's not an to test waters. I'd be surprised arc had any active input in the matter

 

[BadWolf]

Meh pointless, too old a version to consider.

 

[Mupod]

when did the original port of this come out on PC? I remember playing it in 2004 or so.

 

[Mesoian]

So fucking bizzare...

 

[Love Deterrence]

when did the original port of this come out on PC? I remember playing it in 2004 or so.

2006, I believe!

 

[Retro_]

Meh pointless, too old a version to consider.

Arguably the most relevant version to Xrd tho

 

[Jawmuncher]

Good enough for now.

 

[88random]

More Guilty Gear games is always a good thing. Day one.

 

[Uraizen]

Told you.

Wasn't a tough guess, though.

Aww, you beat me to it.
