Today's news of the 2D fighting arcade gem BlazeBlue coming to home consoles, has 2D fighting fans everywhere on notice. BlazBlue offers a tremendous step up for the 2D fighting genre into the HD era and makes its way from the arcade to the PS3 and Xbox 360. These editions will feature new modes, the latest arcade character roster and of course all the awesome epic moves (anime cut scene finishers = win) and fighting complexity as it's arcade brethren.
Aksys Games' Assistant Marketing Manager Harry Chang, gives G4TV a front-seat look at their console version for all the intimate details.
Arc System Works' CEO has said that BlazBlue is not done and the studio will touch it the in future to avoid competition with Guilty Gear now.
would love to see it celshaded like guiltygear/granblue etc. Just hope they don't ruin the combat mechanics
"Getting into a long-standing fighting game series is always a challenge for new players. There are so many characters and different versions to go over for many of them and going up against seasoned players who’ve been with the series for years is one of the biggest barriers. BlazBlue, however, has something a lot of other games don’t have; a ton of story. The series is known for having a lot of story content, which can make that initial barrier even harder for new players because if they jump into a new game and play the story mode, they aren’t going to be able to follow it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
Neil writes: "Last week's Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale was a tad disappointing, mostly because the really decent Xbox One and Xbox 360 bargains were saved for the Ultimate Game Sale. Now though it's time to check out a whole new list of discounted titles. But what bargains are available for gamers to get excited about thanks to the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 24th-30th July 2018?"
all I have to say is THAT is what a true fighting game is all about!! amazingly drawn hi-res 2D sprites with smooth as silk animations and a deep gameplay engine. Day 1 purchase for sure!!!
