BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma announced, coming to PS3

Lyte Edge said:
If you want to talk about milking, look at Guilty Gear. What they're doing with BlazBlue should be no surprise. If you want something completely new from them, go pick up P4 Arena.

And it should be "Tecmoitis" based on how many versions of Dead Or Alive 2 that were released, LOL.

It's funny, I'm arguing SF3 wasn't too different in another thread to warrant a different series, then there's this. There are alot of them though, and it's always looming in mind "will this get a new character, harsh imbalance fixes, and general additions 8 months down the road for $40?" for people. It's a dangerous dance.

I will say it's great they got this off AND P4A at the same general time even if I won't buy that.

Either we will get 2 versions of noel again but this one being considered her "powered up form" as a separate character, or yes to the spoiler

But wouldn't she not be able to access that power anymore because of Ragna? Story wise I mean as they could obvious just throw in Mu-12 as her unlimited form like they did with Lambda/Nu-13.

Tell me about it, almost a 3 year wait to see the story advance haha

Fans of Blazblue's story and Kingdom Hearts has it hard. Interesting story that you have to wait for ages to see any conclusion or progression out of.

It hurts. :(

Well all ragna did was break the control crown, that shit is still a part of what she is. She would of stripped buck ass naked otherwise
 
Love how people are calling this a revision when it seems like it uses so many new assets. :\ New sprites for old characters is a pretty big deal!

Also, Continuum Shift for consoles was technically only revised once, since they patched II into the original release, just with the CSII characters as DLC...

I'd rather they just redo GG. :(

Looking at the trailer it only looks like they completely redid Noel and maybe Bang. The rest just have their neutral poses redone. I'm thinking 80% of the sprites are going to be taken from Extend.

About 2 years to go for that. They are still right on schedule for my predicted releases

They don't actually play the games
 
Even though this seems to be effectively BlazBlue III, it wouldn't stick in so many people's craw if they hadn't been assholes about Extend and forced a new retail release, screwing over everyone who bought into CSII and bought the new characters to support them.

I bought Extend cuz I got it real cheap and never bought the revisions/DLC. That doesn't mean Extend was not handled poorly. After playing it, it could have been done as a DLC package. It would have been under the size limit for XBLA / PSN add-ons, there wasn't 2 gigs of new content.

It actually makes me not want to get GG when it releases. I mean who's really gonna play it when R will come out and vastly change everything?
Click to expand...

Same, but for now it'll be the best way to play GG on my current arcade stick, so it will have to do.

Yup Extend was probably one of the worst handled things ever from them. I mean sure it was a 2 year lapse from cs1 to cs2 but if they really wanted to make money off the new stuff from extend they could of sold relius for 8 bucks and the new story modes for 10 all together.

What happened I think was that the game wasn't coded to add in new story modes or another character on top of the original 3 dlc ones *they had folders on the disc that were empty that got installed in there were no more than that* I'm not sure of the specifics

Is there even a release date for the ps3/360 GG yet?

Agreed, and they (hopefully) learned their lesson and won't do something similar in the future...

Still slated for "summer".
 
Just woke up to this awesome news.

I've never tried to play BB seriously at all, but Amane's character design fits me perfectly (Super feminine and sexy man? Yes please!) and has inspired me to try and put in some work when this comes out. ~<3
 
One of the things that annoys me about Arc is how they seem to avoid putting certain storyline characters in the games. Still no Jubei, Kokonoe or Saya. And Raven and That Man never did anything in Guilty Gear.

...no Overture does not count.

Overture counts :P and Raven is ment for GGXXX story which we havent gotten to. He has nothing to do with the XX storyline outside of his introduction
 
Definitely interested in this. I ended up skipping past EX but how can I say no to 3 new characters?
I'll probably end up playing the same 2 as always D:

Holy hell seriously? That last character c'mon.

The first character is a man. The second character is old man kamina , the 3rd is makoto with a shirt on and white hair :P But yes the design is like some clamp level shit. But Mak is still more offensive :P

I'll probably end up using her as I seem to use catgirls in everything as for some damn reason their play style designs match mine.

Yep. BB was one of the first games to try successive DLC character expansion on XBL in particular, which allegedly has a 2GB limit... and there's an inherent design issue where all the content of previous patches will count against you for the newest patch.

So my understanding is that

Say you patch 1 character in at 180MB. 180MB gone.

Then you patch a revision update to fix a bug with some characters that is tied to the executable. The revision update, which is tiny by itself, still has to include the previous character you added, because you can't assume anyone downloading the patch has previous material under XBL's system. So the revision update is effectively 180 MB even though you're not adding another character. 360MB/2GB gone already.

Then you add a new character that is 180MB. This patch has to include the previous character, so it is effectively 360MB itself. 720MB/2GB already toast between one bug patch and two characters.


Between the 3 characters, the early patches to remove broken stuff like space parry infinite(well, pseudo infinite), and the CS2 version update, it's easy to look at the above and understand why they ran out of space--meaning they had to release a new disc if they wanted to release Relius on console at that point. This is also at least part of why Capcom tried to make the SFxT content on-disc DLC.

Yeah, not a fan of the new characters, just in terms of the similarities between them and the existing cast. First one is very Litchi-esque. Second one is an buffer, angrier (most likely less lovable) Bang, and the third really is another Makoto.
 
We just had the "they look 12" posts and now we gonna hate on tits?

Edit - ah man sfxt is fucked with those xbl limits lol. There's no way capcom will release a new disc after how it and umvc bombed...

Uhh how are they fucked? There is a reason the game has a ton of on disc dlc. It gets around this by making the releases and updates tiny as hell

and nothing else I find most cat girl characters to be pretty annoying with the exception of Leo from dog days.
 
Is it worth watching that show for her? Watched the first ep the week it came out and dropped it, saw pics of her on a blog post for ep 2 and was going to check it out for her.. But never got around to it.

Eh she's in it half the time wouldn't say the show is worth watching for any of the characters. It's ment to be a for fun type show.

Aww, I was expecting a funnier reply.

I wonder how Noel will play now. Hopefully it's not too different as I like her accessibility. I wonder why she's the only one who got the visual change. Jin isn't apart of the Novis Orbis Librarium anymore either.

She looked simular, I still saw her drive stuff chaining together, not sure what the shotgun is for exactly.
 
Squirrel girls for life.

(I like mine stacked, and with a golf swing meter)

Also active stand characters in Marvel would be grime beyond grime, jesus
 
I'm like half hype and half wtf right now. Yay for the real BlazBlue sequel with substantial new stuff, but holy wow those are some bland new character designs. It's like the only thing that makes them stand out is their ridiculous hair color. Come to think of it, the majority of Blazblue's characters didn't even have to rely on that anime standard -- most of them have white, brown, blonde, or black hair. Yuck.

I've gotta admit they look a lot better in sprite form and in the event stills, though, so maybe it's just the artist's illustrations that I don't like. Still though... they look really undercooked, especially when they show the rest of the cast right afterward in the trailer.
