A-any word on a demo for us over here at the EU? :')
No? I remember AE and Ultra being around $20 for SFIV as well.
It has everyone.

Sounds like a cool demo, hope it also comes to EU. The last Guilty Gear I played was on PS2.

Saw some cool new combos with I-No's command grab on twitter last month, really looking forward to testing out these changes later.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
The last time I played Guilty Gear Xrd was the Japanese demo for the vanilla version and back than I specifically said I refused to buy Guilty Gear Xrd unless they add one of my main 3 characters from Guilty Gear XX era to Guilty Gear Xrd. Their choices was Baiken,Zappa or Robo-Ky but now that they finally added Baiken I'm finally going to buy the game.

Is it timed? Unless I'm mistaken this basically sounds like a free offline only version with no story mode.

As someone who has a decent local scene for FGs, and with me just now looking to get back in the scene after a few year break....this is wonderful news if so. I'll happily buy it down the road to give them money, but I'll be good with local play only too
You can create a new PSN account and get the free trial to download this.

There are 3 characters that you have to pay for Revelator, right? Do I also get them if I upgrade my copy to Rev 2?
You should have everyone if you upgrade to R2 because the base package of R2 is everyone + Baiken and Answer

Alright, thanks!
It says in the demo that it becomes unplayable when the full version comes out.
thanks for posting the link couldn't find it in the store

Why is this demo so extensive?
So $20 bucks for 2 characters, some stages, some intros and endings for a few characters, plus the right to continue playing with 99% of the paltry, pre-existing playerbase vs. $30 bucks for 6 characters and 6 costumes?
Look, I'm buying Rev 2 and I'd say Rev is the best fighting game this generation but all this shit talking SFV in non-SFV threads just comes off as weird insecurity. Even in the OTs for other​ fighting games there's a weird preoccupation with how shit SFV is instead of talking about their own game.

Oh snap you can actually upgrade this time?
This. All of it.

pretty sure this might be the full version of the game. the PSN store icon says "Full Game Trial"
I agree with everything this says 100% true. I played a lot of xrd but not a lot of rev1 so I'm excited to play more rev2 when it comes out to be with sf5 as my fighting games.

LOL at weird insecurity. More like I'm fucking let down and I want capcom to get their fucking head out of their ass. I don't have this username because i hate SF lol It's my second favorite fighting game franchise.
The general audiences tend to not go past SF or MK. The reason people get like that in the first place is because they get sick of people complaining about the games when their are other things that exist that have the stuff the want. At this point I'm admittedly jaded as hell.
So yeah I'll talk some shit here and there at this point maybe it will get someones attention. Or maybe it will get someone upset *shrug*
So I guess airing out those feelings in the Rev2 Demo thread is appropriate. K.

Sure, hey guys like 2d fighters. Let down by SF5. Come play one that is the full package
Yup and it's 20, arcsys got their heads out of their asses on that end finally.
I guess alot of people didnt know that you didn't need to buy them ASW gave them away for free for a limited time and all you had to do was download the DLC, even if you didnt have the game yet

I bet this demo isn't even hitting EU stores
if you don't have an active subscription, don't pay money for one; make a new account and activate the free ps+ trial from the store
if you aren't american, make an american new account for it
if you don't have an american form of payment, ask an american you know to do it for you
not to promote myself, but https://twitter.com/Lemstar/status/858071194825703425

I got the ps4 in October of past year.
Who can say? ASW can just as easily do an R3 update a year later if they wanted to and build off of R2 just like they did with Revelator. I expected an update, but what I didn't expect given ASW's history with DLC is to allow people owning the current version of the game to upgrade to the next without buying a disc, essentially what Super SF4 let players do after that version.
Not certain if you had a PS3 before that, but it was also possible to download them that way since all of the DLC for Rev1 (as with -SIGN-, minus certain color DLC) is cross-buy between PS3 and PS4. Adding things through the web version of the PS store was also possible (I got them through a combination of that and PS3, didn't get a PS4 until November myself).
