While I'm still upset about the game, I'm glad that Famitsu did an interview with Daisuke Ishiwatari regarding Guilty Gear 2 a little while ago. They got a set of screens from the game to show, which were mildly interesting. Now, though, High-Score Online has gotten a hold of a set of new images from the game.
Some of the details that came from the Famitsu stuff is that you'll be able to do some of the cool Guilty Gear stuff like move cancels into combos, in an attempt to move all the bells and whistles of the 2-D fighter into the 3-D realm. The interview was a little above my head, so I couldn't pull too many details. Give it a watch, though, if you can speak some Japanese.
As a Guilty Gear fan, I just wish that I didn't have to stick through this game playing as Sol. I'm sorry, but he's just one of those characters that I can't care about, but since he's one of the "balanced starter characters," he gets a ton of play, and therefore is the headliner in this game. Ah well. Time to go back and cry about it in the community blogs.
[Thanks for the new images, Golden Donut!]

they could make everything 3D but keep the whole 2D system though.
oh and i kick the most ass with sol badguy
My whole "love" with GG was the combo systems, and the ART!!!!
3D completely ruins this game for me, GG showed that expertly drawn 2d art could still be animated to make one of the most beautiful fighters ever... In 3D it just looks like Final Fantasy charaters... blah
And you know the combo system won't be as good, it's an adventure/fighter now, whoopie...
Oh, and fuck Sol. Chipp ftw!
Chipp FTW
and..
Sol For The Suck!!!!
Guilty Gear is loved because of the quality it has in 2D, they won't be able to bring that quality in 3D, no chance of it looking better than Soul Calibur 4, hopefully this will retain the main gameplay mechanics and still be Guilty Gear @ Heart.
... I mean, shit. Holy shit.
i never did like sol
Now that that's out of the way.
Mostly because of the map screens I'm starting to think this will be a lot like Dynasty Warriors except with a much deeper combat system and more emphasis on troop placement. that could be cool, but I'm not going to stop whining until they confirm that they'll still be making a new 2d fighter GG.
Can't someone just use these next gen machines to make THE most amazing 2D game we have ever seen?
This will fail and it will serve them right. Idiots.
And yes, BlueFalcon, I want more bridget, too.
Nay good sirs. Baiken is where it's at.
Also, I'll reserve judgement on the game until I can play it, but bloody hell there better be another 2D fighter or there will be hell to pay.
I'd love to see Daisuke Ishiwatari do a side scrolling action game. Something like Ninja Gaiden on NES, but with GG production values and deeper (yet still simple and intuitive) mechanics.

By the way, you might not want to open that above image with anybody else in the room.
I heard that people from Arc System works are developing that Devil Kings fighting game is that true?
To be honest i quite enjoy the GG games but they're is nothing there that stands out to me and makes me want to play them, i'd sooner put on Marvel VS Capcom or Capcom VS SNK, even though the sprites are pish. :D
