Probably because it has been known for a while and mentioned by Arc on several occasions. They basically just reaffirmed there was a new game coming.

Hmm, I've heard people talk about this beforehand, this isn't new. However, I guess it's just to re-confirm that they're still making a new Guilty Gear.

What happened to that Switch port of GGXXACPR Arc announced months back? I figured it'd be out by now and would've had a PS4 and maybe Xbox One port added.

I hope they move towards a newer business model, where the upgraded revisions don't keep older players out.
I managed to get some friends interested in rev, but when rev2 came out they dropped it since everyone moved over to the newer version.
I know casuals aren't target for these games, but I'm hoping that changes sooner than later.

When they say they're working on a new Guilty Gear does that mean the next version Xrd or completely new entry?

I mean, sure I'll probably play her if that's the case, but I like Bedman as a character. It... it just wouldn't be the same...

For real though, I'm hopeful for this game.
He's like super ulta hyper mega super dead and she is his twin

New entry most likely, Xrd's story is over

Give me testament and that dwarf with the huge fish knife

But Kliff is dead! :(

But yeah I wish We had a Dream match of GG, so we can get everybody together one more time in this new style.
Shoot I even want this obscure character back

Not that surprising, but cool to hear. Hope they learn from Dragon Ball and make the game more enticing to new players while keeping the visual flair.

I doubt it'll be a fully fresh start, I'm sure they'll bring back legacy characters and reuse assets.

Yeah... I highly doubt that they will use new character models for this. But at the same time they don't really have to worry about other people doing what they can do. Not even DBFZ looks better than Xrd in the detail and animation front. Maybe they could probably add more polys to the character models.

I hope they tone down the learning curve for this game just a little bit to pull in new fans.

I'm hoping for that as well. They should make updates universal and free and just charge for extra characters/stages like other fighting games do now.

Bridget
Zappa
Robo Ky
Testament
Anji Mito
Order Sol

Still need to come back. Maybe not Anji though


I say Bridget is guaranteed. Was second in the polls, but they added number 3, Baiken (which is perfectly fine)

I hope for more new characters and not for the old ones honestly.
Every time the Devs bring a new character, is a new surprise of uniqueness. Well, with the exception of Leo I guess.

Sweet. With XX Accent Core Plus R, and the original GG coming to Switch as well. I'm hoping the new game gets a Switch version too, especially since it's bound to run Unreal Engine 4. Xrd's problem getting a Switch version was that the game ran Unreal Engine 3, which the Switch doesn't natively support.

Unfortunately, Guilty Gear general director Daisuke Ishiwatari couldn't be here today
Surely he couldn't show his face with the shame of seeing Johnny in EVO grand final for the fourth time in a row, through 3 years, and after two big patches, huh.

Yes, because Top 32 was all Johnny.

Clearly that character is ungodly broken and in no way was it due to Omito's skill that he keeps winning.

nah mate, i hope not, guilty gear ain't that kinda game, and its online system is miles better than dbfz anyway. They don't have much to learn from each other, except maybe a season pass

With keeping updates for the base game free while new character content is delivered through paid season passes being the new normal for fighters at this point, this seems likely (particularly after the sales for the Xrd games have been underwhelming).
I hope so, but this practice died early this gen and yet they did it with Xrd, so I'm keeping my expectations in check.

Recall reading that they're planning to make the next Guilty Gear less complex, which is fine by me considering that I'm more into the more accessible fighters anyway.

I thought what I wrote was ridiculous enough that it doesn't need a ;p or a /s but nothing is too ridiculous online. My bad.

Fuck Johnny still though, they better kill him, him and Ky too. ;p

I hope the dub is back.
I expect it to, when ASW themselves say western market is critical for the success of their games now.

My bad too, I've just seen way too much character whining that your post practically gave me PTSD :D

I'm still waiting for Zappa. He was having some 'possession problems' in the previous game so he may be ready to fight just now.
