Im absolutely loving it. We should all arrange getting together to play one night. The lobby system on this game is amazing.
I'm on PS4 and I believe there's a Mad Catz stick that's PS3/4 compatible but have two more on the way with decals specifically for GG and Persona 4: Arena Ultimax
Looks like the GG one is sold out and Persona 4: Arena Ultimax ships near the end of January. There also seems to be a Ultra SFIV version, but that is sold out now too. I may just pick it up for PS3 and save myself some cash.
I haven't felt this much sheer joy playing a fighting game since the Real Bout days.
Back then, I looked at every single little detail in a game, from the subtle animations to the background details to the stylish poses when doing maneuvers. The game has been so lovingly rendered that it's a pure treat for the senses.
Seeing this game makes me really wish that ArcSystemWorks would just be hired to make Garou 2. It would be fucking astounding.
Oh, and it controls and plays pretty well too. Although I'm overwhelmed by all the various systems and mechanics that are available.
Seriously!! It's cross play between PS4/PS3, right?
Been watching the story mode, have to say I quite prefer this model where you have one fully voiced story, instead of a dumbed-down, vague, choose-your-own-adventure style. While it was fun to play and find the various paths, from a narrative perspective, it sucked as a presentation.
It's probbaly the most cohesive story presentation I've seen in a fighting game. And running on all in-game assets on the PS4, it looks like a well produced anime. Like having a long OVA included inside.
Does anybody know if more characters from X like Johnny, or Testament will be added to the roster?
