The new fighter from Guilty Gear creators Arc System Works.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger (ブレイブルーカラミティトリガー ,Bureiburū Karamiti Torigā?) is a two-dimensional fighting arcade game by Arc System Works, the staff behind the Guilty Gear series. It was released on November 19, 2008 in Japan and November 20, 2008 in the United States.[3] It will later be released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in the summer of 2009. It is a spiritual successor to Guilty Gear. A playable demo was presented at AOU 2008. The game is currently released for the Taito Type X2 arcade system board, with a 16:9 ratio and 768p resolution.

Anyone else interested?

Interested but I don't think it looks all that great, I've been spoiled by Street Fighter IV.

Will definitely try it though.

Looks quite good based on the trailer I have seen

i just placed a order for the asian version for my ps3

i cant wait to play it

SoGi · 28 Jun 2009 at 16:28

Still debating if I should get this or not. Also if I did would it better getting the asian version or the american one? or does it not matter?

Langlest · 28 Jun 2009 at 17:33

i dont think it matters as i hear that it is all in english anyway for the asian version

SoGi · 28 Jun 2009 at 17:49

Hmm ok, just had a quick look around and I do mean quick ;p. Seems you can get the LE for 32 pound from america, and the normal edition for 42 pound from asia (not counting delivery). This was with a very quick look around though. Also would I be likely to get charged extra from customs?

The only thing that I would be worried about is the online with this due to it not being released over here and would have to play against americans or asians, surely there would most likely be a fair amount of lag?

There wouldn't be much lag as i have played a lot of games with Americans.

After the disappoint of Battle Fantasia, I hope this is good.

Looks amazing and the Guilty Gear games were brilliant if stupidly hardcore.

Hoping the Xbox 360 version is region free so can use me SF tourny stick.

Been reading around and doesn't seem like the 360 version is region free. So guess you will have to get it on PS3 unless you not got one.

Do we know an official UK release date yet?

One thing i did hear that sounded pretty cool is that PS3 version supports remote play and it works perfectly with no lag!

My copy just came today £18 duty fee though

. Saying that though the game is very good and very fast, if anyone else has it add me on PSN: Flakman

(sorry for double post)

I picked this up on saturday (american version on ps3). It's a sick game and has a staggering amount of depth to it. If anyone is willing to pay the steep price tag I thouroughly recommend it.

Codfingers = PSN

Got me a copy of this for the Xbox360. Gotta say, its bloody brilliant fighter. SFIV has got some very real competition in this.

The online modes/features are what SFIV should have been. If SFIV had this good of an online set up I would be in heaven. Just so much more robust.

Have you got a US 360? I think the 360 version isn't region free.

I never did get it in the end, spent the money on other things. Still want to pick it up at some point though.
