BlazBlue

March 12th, supposedly. Already got a pre-order on the special edition because it was actually cheaper than the standard edition on Amazon for some reason XD

This no longer applies to the 360 version anymore though, but the PS3 SE is still £33.99!

Gutted. But atleast I'll get to play this finally

Did I mention that I swapped main from Bang?

Scratch that, I checked again today and the 360 special edition IS £33.99 again XD

Now that may be worth a pre-order, just wish I had the money =(

It's not due until March, so there's still time to save up. Pre-ordering costs no money whatsoever, and if you end up not having the money near the release time you can just cancel.

*heads over to Amazon*

Awesome sauce, I honestly cannot wait for this game, the combos seem sick.

Rumoured leaked Famitsu announcement for Continuum Shift. The reason this leak is rumoured is because Famitsu says the leaked front cover of their latest issue could have been faked.

What?

Spoiler:

No.

Spoiler:

I'm in love!

Another spoiler!

Spoiler:

New character for the console version of Continuum Shift, coming summer for Japan and probably soon after for the US (and me, who'll import XD).

I'm twice more in love now

Second'd, third'd and forth'd, all in one tightly nit package.

"Hands off the panda!"

This thread needs bumpage.

European release on the 12th. The Limited Edition comes with a combo DVD and a huuuge 100+ page artbook. It'll be sex in book form.

Edit: I lol'd.
Contains spoilers, no really. If ye haven't even played the first one, try not to look. It's also partially Continuum Shift spoiler related, but doesn't really hint at much.

Spoiler:

The same guy is doing a webcomic with the CS sprites (which have been ripped here) which can been seen on this Dustloop thread. Very funny stuph!

any new player around since I was absent ?

No, but the game has been delayed twice in Europe.

Doesn't come out until April 2nd.

This comes out friday? I might get this... I have stayed well clear of the spoilers as it will be the first time playing this but its either this or Tekken 6 which I really want...

BlazBlue > Tekken, easily.

Been looking at some gameplay footage and it doesn't seem it will go with me.

Tekken 6 however will. I have played Tekken before and I do like the series. Did have all the games upto Tekken 4 + Tag. Hopefully I can pick up a copy of this game either tomorrow or next week.

BlazBlue > Tekken...
I hate 3D fighters, especially Tekken. But even taking a nuetral stance, BlazBlue wins. IGN made it best fighter of 2009 (Gametrailers picked SFIV, so Tekken didn't get it on either site).

Got it today, with the tutorial DVD and artbook of sexiness. Shame Europe missed out on the soundtrack, probably due to licensing problems. Still hasn't stopped me downloading the Limtied and Consumer Editions as well as the Continuum Shift Sound Accord 1 already XD

Bump, due to Continuum Shift.

I has it, import copy. It's brilliant, definately a worthy sequel. The new mechanics make it less of a "oh, new story not much else" affair as well.
