Guilty Gear 2: Overture Revealed For Xbox 360-- 3D Action Game??

[bork]

Can't tell what the hell is going on in the scan, but it doesn't quite look like a fighting game to me, and I'm too lazy to attempt a translation.  Definitely didn't see this one coming...

I'm bored with GG's fighting mechanics and after beating XX to death with revisions, I welcome this change.

Arc System Works has announced Guilty Gear 2 Overture for Xbox 360 according to the latest issue of Japanese publication Weekly Famitsu.

Unlike the previous installments which were 2D fighting games, the sequel will be a mix of real-time strategy and 3D fighting game. Players will select characters - such as Sol Badguy, Sin, among others - referred to as "Masters" in this game. You will also have units to move around and give commands on the field map in RTS-like fashion. When in contact with enemy units, the battle then becomes more synonymous to a 3D fighting game.

Guilty Gear 2 Overture is currently 80% complete, but no release date has yet been announced.

Its just a spin-off like MK SubZero, SC Legends etc.

[Glescoes]

why must they get my hopes up with that 2

[Himu]

So are they making a sequel to the first Guilty Gear, Guilty Gear, and killing the X series?

The Guilty Gear X series is still tearing up arcades in Japan, so I doubt they're getting rid of it.

[Himu]

But there's no X in this game's title.

[Mr. Gundam]

But there's no X in this game's title.

Yeah, and it's also an RTS/3D-fighter hybrid spinoff. 

GGX ain't going anywhere, seeing how Guilty Gear XX Accent Core is coming for PS2/Wii.

Yeah, and it's also an RTS/3D-fighter hybrid spinoff. 

Yeah because Arc Systems hasn't released spin offs to coincide with new GG releases. The fact that there's a 2 signifies something to me. Guilty Gear 2 spin offs + actual Guilty Gear 2 fighting game.

[bork]

Himuro, it's a fucking spin-off.  Just like how they made Guilty Gear Judgement and Dust Strikers. 

Arc's next fighter is Basara X.  That may be pronounced "cross," but there's your fucking "X."   

I'm bored with GG's fighting mechanics and after beating XX to death with revisions, I welcome this change.

You know Accent Core has some major revisions and additions to the game play, right?  Just saying...
