Everyone has his own stage in Xrd, right?

 

[Rhapsody]

Are there any videos or screenshots of the PS3 version? I've been curious to see how drastic of a downgrade it is from the PS4 version.

Not yet. They said the only difference will be that it's in 720p but we'll see. I'm skeptical.

Everyone has his own stage in Xrd, right?

Yes. So far at least.

 

[Skilletor]

I keep forgetting Xrd's out! ... But then again, I'm in "Cynical Mode," so I think I'm gonna wait until an inevitable "Super" edition or a cheap DLC bundle. I'm tired of getting a game only for it to have an Ultimate Edition soon after, and I know Elfert's not in the arcades, but she's proof Xrd's getting DLC on consoles, and I doubt she'll be the last.

Should stop following fighters, then.

 

[Curry-Hakase]

Well the arcade version is also 720p so we can expect the PS3 to look like that at the best IMO.
The only thing we have to worry about is the potential frame rate issues but they're using Unreal 3 so I think it'll be fine.

I would expect lots of aliasing on the ps3. I don't think it's going to look nearly so clean as the arcade or ps4 version. PS4 version at evo looked fan-fucking-tastic.

 

[Korigama]

I'm not expecting much of a downgrade from PS4 to PS3 with this game. But then again, the arcade version isn't exactly running on PS4-level hardware to begin with (RingEdge 2).

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Guess I'll be waiting for the final edition of the game a few years down the line then!

That's a shame, oh well I'll be enjoying it for thousands of hours While you wait..

 

[Sayad]

I wonder how long will it be until the final edition of this game, consider BB have been out before SF4 and there's still no signs of a final edition.

 

[Skilletor]

Man, you'd be waiting like 10 years of you did that with GG.

 

[Busaiku]

Guilty Gear XX Accent Core +R was released 11 years after Guilty Gear XX.

 

[GotchaForce]

Has there been any vids of Elfert yet? Seems like there's a new pic a day.

 

[Sayad]

No videos yet, but she should be playable at TGS.

 

[SykoTech]

New character looks cool to me. Definitely looking forward to giving her a shot along with Ram.

Now to buy on PS3, or wait until o get a PS4...

 

[El Sloth]

When's TGS?

I hope we get a NA release date.

I wonder which version of the game tournaments will run, PS3 for the convenience or PS4 for the version that runs best

 

[Sayad]

18th to 21st, I think, she will only be playable when it's opened to public after the first two "press only" days, Sin will be available from the start.

September 18.

It'll depend on what games are at the event assuming the PS3 version has a solid framerate. If Tekken or any of the other anime games are there, they'll most likely use the PS3 version.

Looks like the US GG website was updated today and it still says "Release: Holiday Season 2014".

Yeah I'm thinking we will just get it the same day or month as Japan then

Elfert looks dope.

[Kimosabae]

Okay, those spikes coming out of her dress look hella dumb.

 

[Laconic]

I kind of dig her.

But with as poofed out as her dress is, don't you think "Lafart" would be more apt?

 

[Espada]

Damn, those screens made the wait for this game that much harder. Goddamn it, announce a U.S. release date already!

 

[sixteen-bit]

cool character, I look forward to playing as her

Now i have to wait almost a year for the complete edition.

Is there an Xbox One version in the works? Otherwise I guess it's PS3 for me.

From what we know about her play style, I can already see this being a hellish match-up for Elfert, lol.

 

[El Sloth]

Reposting this here since not everyone reads the FGW thread.

TL of the Elphelt gameplay portions of the Famitsu article, courtesy of DL's redsilversnake: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/inde...ical-gameplay-discussion/page-379#entry844842

Brief summary of the Famitsu article. Bolded parts are things I'm not 100% sure on.

To use the rifle, you input a certain command and she'll assume a stance. During this stance, she cannot move, the lever instead being used to aim the reticle that comes up. She can aim at various distances to put pressure on her opponent from afar.

To use the shotgun, input a different command, and she'll assume a stance that alters her movement. She becomes very deadly at close range (even though shotguns actually have relatively good effective ranges, so even though hers is pretty short, I'm pretty sure it'd still have better reach than portrayed in the game; do some damn research, Ishiwatari) and gains a forward somersault to keep herself close to her opponent.

After shooting either weapon, she can maintain her firing stance by inputting a special motion to reload.

If you fire too soon after assuming a stance, it will be harder to hit the opponent and the attack will be weak. If you wait, however, the reticle will become larger, the attack will do more damage, and the knockdown effect will be greater.

Pachi says that she's simple and has enough of a variety of moves that should help her be playable in a more basic style (don't let your guard down, though, remember that Mori said something similar about Izayoi in BlazBlue, who turned out to be anything but).

She has a handgun that she can use without the need for a stance, and can fire it multiple times in rapid succession.She has a move where she throws a pin that explodes, and can alter the distance by holding down the button.​

So you are not going to buy the game day one because the DLC when you have the dlc for free if you buy it the first day?
Doesn't make any sense.

 

[Passive Assassin]

Not Baiken, dont care.

you gotta make due :l i'll make due with a shooter character.

 

[n051de]

Hope they give the Xbox gamer another chance with their IP. The lack of FG out should help some I think if they release it after Mortal Kombat X.

 

[Sayad]

You also get the pink hair and the white-with-some-red dress, you're practically getting Baiken. ;p

I like how all those concerned posters conveniently know enough about fighting games to know there will be an updated version coming out in a year or so, which they plan to get. Yet they don't know enough about fighting games to realize the version they're waiting for is also not the "complete" version and will have the exact same problems as this version.

I blame Capcom's hit and run with UMvC3 for this. ;p

What great pain is this causing you exactly? Why do you need a character that you may not even touch more than once? You wait a year and then what? People will have had the game for over a year and jumping in online will only be that much harder (and that's not including all the hardcore GG vets who will already be heads and shoulders above everyone else at launch).

Besides, what's the point of waiting a year if you would have gotten the DLC for free anyways by getting it Day 1?

Why do people not get that you're only doing yourself a disservice by waiting for "complete versions" of fighting games that only come at the end of the game's lifespan

You mean the DLC you'd get by buying day one?

If you're that worried about DLC, might as well never buy a fighting game ever again.

Man Elphelt really starts to grow on me. This will be cake on 4th dec.

Quit Fighting Games, both of you.

Nope that's 100% GG

They look like the same game to me.

Yup, but there's plenty of fighting games that are actually finished or have their ultimate version already out for me to play in the meantime! And the online community doesn't bother me in these type of games either, so the fear of that being abandoned or the skill wall being too high is a non-issue to me. It's all about sitting down in the same room with a group of friends and getting those big arcade sticks out!

Weekend booze-ups playing Marvel Vs Capcom 2, Smash Bros Melee, Soul Calibur 2, and Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown have been our current rotation for the past few months.

Cool, I guess. But since new versions of GG were always going to happen, and for years to come,I don't know why you're posting this about the first batch of DLC we see for the game.

Well, as you said, new versions will come out, took Arc Systems a hell of a long time to bring out the final installment in the XX series, but the wait was worth it. All the tweaks, characters, mode returns and updates all in one kick ass final package. Blazblue is headed the same way too. And you know when DLC is involved in fighters, that usually means enhanced editions, and multiple ones at that! My post was more of a statement on what I do with the fighting games market in general, sit and wait, buy the best edition, and then play the shit out of the game locally with my buds. I made the silly mistake of just quoting that one little bit instead of making a more fleshed out statement.

Only exception I've made is Persona 4 arena lately, and that was only because my friend gave me his copy because the Ultimax version was announced. Game is pretty great.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

Silly me. Meant to type "ultimate" instead. Excuse me for my lapse in thought.

EDIT: Fixed! Thanks for the correction. Haha!

Did you really wait 11 years for +R? How do you figure out when a definitive final version is released??

and I don't think there will be an ultimate version. Pretty sure every new version is going to have DLC characters. That's how Blazblue and Persona worked last gen. So even the last game will probably have DLC characters.(I'm assuming Ultimax is the final P4A game)
