Guilty Gear 2: Overture(Interview with Creator) : DigInfo

DigInfo - http://movie.diginfo.tv

Breaking out of the fighting genre, Arc System Works' new Guilty Gear 2: Overture is creating its own type of genre self-titled Melee Action which is originally the type of game the creator wanted to make.

In the game you attempt to capture "Ghosts" or bases which are integral for the Master to create "mana" and provide power to your troops. With mana you hire troops and increase your power. Of course your opponent's troops protect the ghosts. Victory is gained by capturing the opponent's Master Ghost.

In the Strategy portion of the game, your troops can be ordered to where they are needed and do your bidding. Proper use of your soldiers is key to victory.

There are five Masters to choose from and each has their own tribe from which troops are hired. There are several new characters but Sol Badguy is still there with Ky along with their classic moves from the previous Guilty Gears. New controls such as dashing helps the character maneuver around the maps.

Story of the game picks up several years after the previous Guilty Gears ended and the creator hopes to continue this series.

Guilty Gear 2: Overture will be released on November 29th for Xbox 360.

Daisuke is on fire! This guy is just full of new crazy ideas I'm seriously humbled! He's character designs surreal, the storyline is constantly off the chain and ofcourse he's sense of what's really entertaining is unparalleled. He couldn't just keep making fighting games, because in real life (unlike KOF and SF) someone doesn't hold tournaments every year for the hell of it, especially if the state of the planet is post-war. Let's really enjoy a good show!

[zoltanben90]

just sol and ky man sorry just rent it or buy it cheap its still wroth the play

[Shining4Dawn]

The whole idea of changing the game's genre is what really drops me to the floor.

Guilty Gear XX is gameplay-wise the best 2D fighting game ever. Simple as that.

Plus, what about fans of the series who are fans of other characters than Sol or Ky? What about Axl, Johnny, Testament, Baiken, Millia and so many others that were just thrown away?

This game looks far from being the sequel any fan of the original series would like. It could be nice on it's own, though.

lol @ Not liking the game, because of the amount of characters. -_-

[kain306]

This game is one of the reason why I'm wanted to get 360!

o shyt gotta love daisuke the creator and voice actor for Sol mothafuckin badguy.( or frederick before the crusades)

Games awesome but hard to understand sometimes but overall still a great game. Guilty Gears always had a great story. Daisuke MAKE AN ANIME OF GG DAMNIT.

[k1ngZAPPA]

No, but at least give the game a chance before you start saying "This game sucks without all of the other characters. blah blah blah." By keeping the game's character count to a select few, it allows the story to be a lot more story-driven. With so many characters in the 2D fighter, it was harder for the average player to keep up with the story.

[firefangalchemist]

there is only 5 characters + 2 old ones

and u expect us to be happy ?
