It was already anounced a PS3 port, no 360 it seems.
Don't really like the character designs.

If true, import here I come!Prime crotch said:
This is the absolute perfect game to stick on PSN/XBLA when it finishes it's run in the arcades.
Hopefully developers start to look at these download services as being a second revenue stream for games like these. Almost like the home window to the film industry's theatrical release window, they could go to the PSN after a run in the arcades.

DUDE!
The main character's name is RAGNAR THE BLOOD EDGE!
That is fucking METAL!
Hopefully the Loki tests for this are not confined to Tokyo. I would love to get my hands on this in Osaka at some point.
Other character names:
Jin Kisaragi
Noel Vermillion

I concur. This guy is no Sol...I'm sure we'll get some other awesome designs though.
I really like the name Blaze Blue. Follows the aliteration motif created by Guilty Gear.

Controls according to famitsu:
Weak, Mid, Strong, and EX. Huh, that's not GG's control scheme at all!
There is a blurb leading from the EX button that says "What is this button?!" but the stupid camera caught the flash all over the word bubble, so I can't read it, and tell you guys wtf the EX button does.

Before you go and dub him Ragnar, it might just as well be "Laguna". Just so you know. Does anyone have better scans so we can tell from the energy bar names?

HD yet 4:3?
It's probably 640 x 480 like Guilty Gear.

OP is filled with lies.
- it's not really HD, only the backgrounds are HD and they scroll
- it's not related to Guilty Gear in any way whatsoever story wise
- it's not even produced by Ishiwatari, although he'll still be doing the music
- I don't see any confirmation that it's Type-X from the article, but that might be from elsewhere

How can one piece of the image be HD, but not the rest? Isn't it either 720p (HD) or 480i(SD)? Or is the HD referring simply to the sprite resolution?

This was probably taken from AM-net

duckroll said:
Hmmm...
Well, this pretty much goes with my overall assessment. I REALLY don't think that ASW will be trying to push this so much for next-gen; especially since the fact of the matter is that it's a) a new IP and b) they're probably still reeling from commercial failures like "Battle Fantasia" and "Guilty Gear 2".
That in mind, I would think it's safer to assume that they'll be trying to be "safer" with this game.
reggieandTFE said:
Well, there's no indication the game is actually going to be HD (it might, I'm just saying it's not reported), but there's a part of the article that talks about how detailed and beautiful the high definition backgrounds are. This could simply be inferred to mean that the backgrounds are being done at a much higher resolution than the actual game sprites or display resolution.
Since its Type X2, as confirmed by the location test blurb, I suppose it's a good chance that the game will output at 720p, but it still remains to be seen how "HD" everything really is natively.
Not trying to call you out or anything, but all Type X2 games output HD. HD refers only to the resolution that the game outputs.duckroll said:
You can say "I don't like the graphics on this HD game" or "the backgrounds appear to have more detail than the character sprites" but to say "it's not HD" is a misuse of vocabulary. A game is either HD, or it isn't. This one is HD.

yeah it seems the character designs are taking a turn for the worse. if you looks at GG overture its the same style as this game. really bad imo
fubarduck said:
ALL TX2 games?
If you can honestly explain to me some how, that King of Fighters Maximum Impact: Regulation A and the upcoming Samurai Spirits SEN are HD games, then I'd be willing to believe you.
But I would think those two games alone are enough to contest the notion that TX2 = always HD.
RyanDG said:
Even so, the fact that we do have Reg A and SS Sen, to me, pretty much points to the notion that this game won't necessarily be as "HD" as some may have originally anticipated/wanted.
Those two games I mention, in the end, are not at all far removed from the Playstation 2's graphical quality, which was probably intentional.
TreIII said:
Yes, all Taito X2 games. Samurai Spirits Sen and KOF Maximum Impact: Regulation A are both HD games. The aspect ratio is 16:9. The resolution is 720p.
The definition of HD is any resolution between 1280x720 and 1920x1080 with a 16:9 aspect ratio.
TreIII said:
Again, you're allowed to dislike the graphics, or say "it looks like a PS2 game", but there are no degrees of HD. A game is either HD, or it is not.

At first I thought the sprites were native size to fit 720p, thus HD sprites. I guess not (they must be resized or enlarged)

Who cares, the more 2D fighters the better!
TreIII said:
I feel bad for Taito sometimes. The Type X never really caught on because of its high entry price. The Type X2 has been suffering from the fact that people still had a bit of a bad taste about the Type X and the fact that some of its early Type X2 games have not been true technical displays of what the platform can do.
With that said though, Arc System Works already has some good experience with the platform. Even though its not a great fighter (I like it though - haters be damned), Battle Fantasia is a good example of what the platform is capable of visually that goes quite a bit beyond what the PS2 can deliver.
