• Skullgirls Racing Toward Completion


    A new entry on the Playstation Blog talks in-depth about the downloadable fighters various modes which include your typical arcade, online play, and training modes but there are also a bevy of things that make Skullgirl stand out from the competition.

    More after the jump.

    They talk about the in-depth story mode which features over 200 pieces of unique art and new music which helps to tell the engrossing tale surrounding a mysterious artifact and titular being the Skull Girl (you can see the new trailer below). Also the game sports a tutorial mode that hopes to teach both new and intermediate players how to get “tournament level” good at not just Skullgirls, but fighters in general!

    Of course the game has trophies and achievements but the blog post reveals there are apparently Playstation 3 exclusive trophies…no details were given but they do go on to confirmed the PS3 version will also support custom soundtrack (but why would you do that!?). Lastly the post finishes out with stating that in the coming weeks the game’s price, release date, and final character will soon be unveiled! It seems the next evolution in 2D fighting is nearly upon us!

      I'm digging those little posters for each character

      the Painwheel one looks a lot like the movie poster for Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" (probably intended)
      and the Valentine one would make for a real sick arcade stick artwork

      this game is going to be so legit

      We may get 4-6 DLC characters if the game sells well from the start. Alex Ahad and Mike Z have also got plans for at least another 2 dozen characters(DLC and sequel iirc) which means that we are in this for the long haul. This is just the reality of supporting smaller devs with less cash/resources than the big boys.

      I know I'm in this for the long haul.

      Can't wait for this! And hopefully some DLC characters aren't too far behind the release.

      Can't wait. I just hope their aren't any console exclusive characters so that everyone can equally enjoy the game. I hope there are DLC characters coming as well but I'd rather them take their time to give us compelling characters than crank out a bunch of quick cookie-cutter characters. So far all of the characters I've seen in Skullgirls have been different and compelling.

      I LOVE the custom soundtrack idea! I've been wishing for a long time that games would start to do this.
