[crisis]

just makes me wish Arc System Works would make a Judgment 2 in this style

Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Trailer #1

Im unable to view this from my work comp. I've been waiting for some more GG for some time. I thought they were doing a BlazBlue/GG crossover =/

[VladCT]

I have to wonder, what's up with Ky's new design? In the previous designs I could still tell from a glance that he was a guy, but now he's almost completely androgynous!

Oh, and I wonder if Robo-Ky's still around...

[C Belmont]

So is all that cel shading real time or pre-rendered like Blazblue was? It's pretty nice looking but some of the cloth looks like garbage.

[K.G. Morder]

I thought they said they were not gonna make any more GG games

[Inccubus]

Just saw this on magicbox. Those have got to be THE best cell shaded graphics I've ever seen. I thought it was high-res 2d at first.

[KaZudra]

I hope it's Post-Overture to continue the story arc and give us Sin and Valentine , I think this is amazing, a purposely lowered animation frame-rate to emulate sprites, on top of that they are rendered to look like sprites, giving opportunity to update and add characters with ease.

I just hope they don't fuck up as hard with Blazblue with making a incomplete mess until the third version.

What was wrong with BB?  Granted they added too much comedy in Continnum Shift but I enjoyed all the titles so far.

[Lashen]

I'm going to pretend Venom is still around—maybe Slayer turned him into a vampire or somesuch and he continues to run the Assassin's Guild in Zato's place.

[Mooning Freddy]

That's incredibly epic, and the music is killer.
You can't go wrong in a game that has a character named after Kai Hansen and Michael Kiske.

[Gunlord]

I have to wonder, what's up with Ky's new design? In the previous designs I could still tell from a glance that he was a guy, but now he's almost completely androgynous!

Oh, and I wonder if Robo-Ky's still around...

Yeah, I was wondering that as well...it's the ponytail that does it, IMO. I think they made a female Ky Kiske for Mugen who looks almost exactly like this one does.

[Phoenix7786]

Out of curiosity, what exactly IS Guilty Gear? I heard all about it growing up, but no one I knew ever played it so I don't actually know what kind of game it is.

[K.G. Morder]

Hyper stylized fighting game.

if you've ever played BlazBlue, it's kiiind of like that.

[Phoenix7786]

Sorry Flame never even heard of BlazBlue.
So GG is a fighting game, then? How long has it been since the previous one was released?

The Guilty Gear series started way back in the PS-X era. Guilty Gear X, the sequel, was released for the Dreamcast. Since, there has been a slew of sequels (more like "enhancements" & tweaks) to the series released on various platforms (PSP, GBA, etc.) BlazBlue is the "spiritual successor" to the series.
