New Guilty Gear....looks like ass. I'm rocket shipping out of this thread before I am maimed

It could look better, I agree. Can't hate on it too quickly, though.

Haters gonna hate IDGAF new GG!

Fuckin' amen to that.

And I will say that from a technical standpoint, while there's still room (and, more importantly, time) for some improvements, what they've shown is already really friggin' impressive, honestly.

I'd follow if I had things like that...

...but I don't.

Also, Mindgamfree, I didn't know you played Bang now-a-days. Hold that shit. You leveled up a lot to beat me so many times without allowing me to win a match. I take back all of the rude and mean trashtalk I've ever said about you being bad.

Jokes aside, GGs Theo. Hold them Chocolate Babies and see me in GG <3 At least there I'll be able to get my IB's right instead of doing them too early or too late orz

I wonder when in the timeline the story's going to be? Sol and Ky's dialogue seem to imply a prequel set during the holy war. The end bit with Millia and Eddie/Zato-1 is a bit clearer evidence of a pre-XX time-point. Although, I suppose Arc Sys could always invent a reason for why Eddie's still alive in Zato-1's body.

Regarding the character models: I think they look excellent. I had no idea they were polygons till the camera rotated, and in the trailer at least, they didn't give off that weird moon gravity vibe I get from most 3D/ 2.5D fighters. Ky and Sol do look very different from their XX sprites, but differences in appearance for new models are to be expected. For a tamer example check out the changes between XX and AC for character portraits:

Baiken XX: http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-03/ggx2-baiken-01.html

Baiken AC: http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111017161514/guilty-gear/images/1/19/Baiken.png

Johnny XX: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130408194809/mugen/images/3/35/Johnny.jpg

Johnny AC: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111017162505/guilty-gear/images/d/da/Johnny.png

Zappa XX: http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSCQXsudbF4vWFKc2oeYo3W85-1aRVg9ew1YdJrf22kl1f6bkEeyQ

Zappa AC:http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20111017162917/guilty-gear/images/e/ea/Zappa.png

Baiken got curvier. Zappa and Johnny more muscular.

Also, remember Axl's GG sprite?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs2FsQJey3o

And those old character designs where May looked grown up, Potemkin had a ponytail and they were wielding an Axe and a scythe?:

I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of cast looks like in Xrd Sign; Here's hoping we finally get to see Raven in action.

I do believe it's post GG2, based entirely off of the fact that the patent date on Sol's sword is after GG2 takes place.

I'm inclined to believe and hoping that Xrd is a reboot, TBH.

GGs Katz. Those were some fun games. :D We should do GG too.

Whoa are you actually playing now?

Why would you hope for a reboot? How about wanting more of the story and a chance to add more characters? That doesn't make any sense to want a reboot. If you want a reboot, go play BB, it's basically the same thing. :P

Sol and Ky's conversation didn't bring up Justice, and I don't think that they would add more (another character) to the holy war story.

Not sure about Eddie/Zato and Millia considering they should -both- be dead by now. Millia should be taken over by the parasite, at least. Also, I don't think the assassin's guild was around until post-war.

Eh, from my perspective it seems like Baiken's 'increase' in her figure is something created by a shift of angle, and the 'extra attention' to her ass. Her hips and thighs seem to be the same width. The second picture's angle is also slightly from the side, with her turning and leaning a bit.

Johnny and Zappa do look different, but only because the artists decided to put more detail into the muscles instead of adding them and make Johnny taller... or let his pants fall. =w=

Almost. It doesn't have a blonde nurse named Takano trying to prove her adoptive-father's theories-- oh wait, wrong anime.

I guess I'm with Kyle in that I'd prefer a sequel over a reboot.

Ah it does say 2187 there. Didn't notice that.

It's true that Sol and Ky don't talk about Justice, but the way they were arguing reminds of their relationship towards the end of the Holy war. It gives the impression that Ky has sanctioned authority over Sol and Sol is blowing him off. Of course, they often interact in this way, but I guess I associate this behavior most strongly with the holy war.

If this is indeed post GG2 Eddie should be dead, or existing inside some sort of new host, or body, or remain imprisoned by Raven. Millia could be both alive and sane, her hair is cut shorter in the video (with the possible exception of the portion directly behind her head that she whipped out). It's a similar length to the of XX story mode ending where she cuts it off. Maybe she was able to regain control of it at this shorter length?:

Ehh, I'ma be honest, I'm with Zoob on the new GG. At first sight I thought it was a fanmade video, then I realized they apparently hired highschoolers to make the char designs. Also the frame rate seems to be as choppy as it was in 2002. The animation almost looks like it's two console generations behind. And is it just me or does the gameplay look slower than AC?

Don't get me wrong though, I'm hype and looking forward to this, will be checking for updates.

GGXX is 30fps visually, but polls for inputs at 60fps. It's never been THAT smooth, it just uses lots of tricks to mask it. The animations being the way they are in Xrd seems like it's simply to stay true to the series (and save resources at that, the current generation is being pushed harder than you think). There've actually been speed comparisons, and it's about the same.

And the reason I'm hoping for a reboot is because, let's be real, GG's story as it is now is kind of a clusterfuck. Unless arcsys wants to pull a Tekken and run with it. I'm cool with either, I'm just saying, it's a fighting game and story's not THAT important.

BB plays nothing like GG and you all know it.

Trust me, for 3D games mimicking 2D sprites, you don't want it to be any smoother than this or else it ends up looking like Dimps's "The Rumble Fish": all tweened and wonky.
