Guilty Gear 2: Overture coming to 360 News

Xbox 360 News by Ellie Gibson

12 March, 2008

The latest instalment in the Guilty Gear series has been confirmed as an Xbox 360 exclusive.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture is due out in Q3 of this year. Hot tactical melee action is promised along with refined mechanics, plus new items, skills, tweaks and modes not seen in the original import. You'll have up to 50 troops you can deploy to help you win the various wars going on.

Multiplayer deathmatch is promised, with Team Battle and Free-For-All options to choose from. Up to four players will be able to compete over Xbox Live.

"Guilty Gear 2: Overture retains a lot of elements that the fighting games are known for, so it's cool to see how familiar moves like the Gun Flame make the transition to 3D," said project lead Michael Manzanares

"Except now, though, you're facing off against an entire army instead of just one character. You'll lose - badly - if you think you're a one-man army, so you definitely have to remember that you have your own army to command."

Guilty Gear: Overture is out in "Q3" of this year, so some time in autumn.

Well it looks like an over the top Dynasty Warriors. That must be a good thing. Right?

Well GG games are cool but a lot of that was the graphical style. This 3d version doesn't have the same appeal for me. Besides I'll have Soul Calibur 4 and SSF2 HD remix by then!

bad09, it's also not a beat-'em-up, so have fun with SC and SF2.

@ monkie_king

Eh? when did GG stop being a beat 'em up then? I must have missed a few games!

Edit: never mind I just saw at the bottom of the article. That's a bit rubbish then.......

I'm keeping an open mind. It coulkd be an good mix of DMC and DW.

The demo of this (available on Japanese marketplace) wasn't very good, or at least it was a terrible introduction to the game. It seems to attempt too many things at once without being particularly successful at any of them. It didn't help that the tutorial was 'piss easy' difficulty, then the trial missions themselves were set to 'rape' difficulty.

I'm a fan of GG and I think this looks awful. I hear the demo wasn't up to much either.

The gameplay trailers are awful, to say the least. I wish they could just make a classic 2D brawler to compete against SF4.

KUF: Circle of Doom is a good game. It does have a quite high "admission fee", one has to play it proprelly in order to get the reward of playing a trully good and deep hack'n'slash RPG.
