Neko Arc Chaos on "Blazblue Downtime: Possibilites of the Continuum Shift"

Like RoAWZ, I felt like sharing some of the short tales I thought of as I played Blazblue. I hope you enjoy it.

MrBanballow on "Quick question regarding release date..."

MrBanballow — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:47:31 +0000

... is the game shipping out Feb 14 (in stores Feb 15), or is Aksys hoping to have the game available at retailers for Valentine's Day? Kind of hoping I can pull a double header with Twisted Metal + Continuum Shift Extend.

zeech on "American DLC Announcer"

zeech — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:36:10 +0000

As much as we love the terrifying Engrish of the announcer voices in BB, I think there is a market out there for a nice hype western announcer.

I heard the DLC announcer voices for BBCS:EX are already on disc, so maybe there's no possibility of adding more DLC voices. But I hope Aksys will work with ASW to make it possible in the future.

The current DLC voices (especially their A versions) often sound really bored or have very strange inflections (and let's not mention their pronounciation.)

Since Aksys have gone to the effort of getting english voice recorded for the characters, you might as well have some for the announcer as well.

I would definitely appreciate a more announcery announcer. I think of commentators on streams, or sports shows, and I'd like to have that kind of mood from an announcer. Just make sure it passes the bleeding-ears test. If over 50% of a focus group reports that the game makes their ears bleed, then it might not be ready for release :)

MrBanballow on "Apparently, GameStop doesn't want my money..."

MrBanballow — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:32:11 +0000

... went in yesterday to reserve a few games, Blades of Time (PS3), Twisted Metal (PS3), and the new BlazBlue (PS3, LE). The first two went off without a hitch, but apparently for some bizarre reason, Continuum Shift Extend is not in their system for in store reserve currently (Standard or Limited). Called a couple more local GS today to be told the same thing, though one claims to see the game as already having been released (Confused with CS maybe, or maybe a simple mistake in the system?). Tried contacting both GS's Facebook and Twitter, but no response yet. Anyway, just a heads up.

Didn't think to check the status of 360 / Vita versions.

grandabx on "No Blazblue at Evo this year"

grandabx — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 17:22:22 +0000

they put in two games that haven't even been released yet with no type of actual community(streetfighter x tekken and soul calibur 5). this is very insulting. like the biggest tournament of the year and this beautiful game isn't on the roster. from what i've been told, cs2 back last evo had only around 200 entrants and wasn't up to their standards. that maybe true, but they've put in games that they have NO idea who will be playing them(or if they get played at all). this was obviously based on money.

I understand they can do what they want, but I want to know what is aksys going to do? I mean with a tournament like evo your game doesn't seem to taken seriously(I do). we NEED a North American tournament that's the equivalent to blue evolution. without true incentive to play at an expert level the game WILL get left in the background.

this game is THE BEST when it come to skill. SOMETHING needs to be done(like using actual english voice actors so they sound RIGHT to americans and not engrish)to generate hype for this new game.

romeoteknik on "Please, no cheap DLC this time around [Yes I mean the colors]"

romeoteknik — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:35:42 +0000

I'm hoping Extend will not cheap out and just include all that from the get go. We don't need color DLCs nor do we need to be treated like Capcom customers. I believe we've supported the last 2 Blazblue games with our wallets to be somewhat appreciated by now.

Qefimo on "Disappointed with the US special edition of BBCSE, Aksys."

Qefimo — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 23:59:54 +0000

Why is is that AUSTRALIA, a nation notorious for getting delayed and gimped releases of games, will have a far superior special edition?

A translated volume of the manga, a poster, and a "plot map" in addition to the standard art book and soundtrack? Hell yeah!

The minimalist cover art with Relius' doll is pretty awesome, too.

Why isn't THIS what we're getting for that extra $20? It can't be simply due to manufacturing costs.

KyGuy on "BlazBlue PC Game Petition"

KyGuy — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 05:18:02 +0000

Dear Aksys Games,

Congratulations on releasing a high quality multi-platform fighting game. It is exciting that your great fighting game has received great reviews. Especially when it come to online gameplay. However, it has become very difficult to obtain a copy of this game because of the limits of the game being console only.

That is why I am suggesting that you release the game for PC, similar to what Capcom has now done with Street Fighter 4, over Steam or a similar online distribution service. This would improve the online gameplay by increasing the pool of gamers.

At the same time, releasing BlazBlue via internet would also eliminate the price gouging that is occurring right now on Amazon.com and similar websites. Street Fighter 4 PC has been successful in generating revenue for Capcom. It continues to be one of the top 10 games sold on Steam and will probably continue to top the charts.

I understand that the major concern for releasing games online is piracy, but you should feel confident about the genre of the game. Fighting games are about competing with other people online. If you can control who is able to play online, then you can assure that a majority of players will purchase the game. Capcom has successfully curbed piracy by using Xbox Live and Steam to prevent pirated games from being able to be played online. Unless binded by contract, there is no reason BlazBlue cannot do the same.

Finally, I cannot help but think that BlazBlue's main fan base relies lies on PC communities like dustloop.com. These fans, like myself, have loyally followed the Guilty Gear series since its PSOne days and have been lusting after some sort of online game play. If BlazBlue is successful on PC, then you may be able to bring the Guilty Gear franchise online as well along with patches and updates(similar to Fallout 3 or SF4).

Overall, please consider supporting the PC community by releasing BlazBlue onto the PC in the upcoming year. You will only solidify your fan base and add more fans.

Daverost on "So Aksys, you've only got a month to sell BBCS DLC to people."

Daverost — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 05:26:23 +0000

Any plans for a sale? I don't think people'll be buying the DLC characters after Extend hits. Not when they could spend $16 more than the cost of all three of them and get Relius and even more content.

I will admit up front that this is asked solely for my own benefit. I have yet to buy Platinum. Just not keen on dropping $8 to fill out my roster.

1) Let colors bought for use in CS transfer over including the ones that came with the DLC characters.

2) An option to select which song song plays over an AH finish.

hunterofcomedy on "Hazama's voice actor"

hunterofcomedy — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 06:14:51 +0000

I don't want to offend anyone but I want to know who really voiced Hazama in BlazBlue. He has the same actor in both games but it isn't Doug Erholtz. Doug Erholtz is a great actor but I have examined his voice throughly and have concluded taht they are not the same actor. If you have any information about this subject please feel free to share it. However, if you really believe it is Doug Erholtz please have cited evidence from a professional website or other contact. Also, certain websites such as; Wikipedia, Internet Movie Data Base, and verious others that can be edited by anyone should not be included as evidence. I am frustrated by not knowing his voice and I want to credit the real voice actor. I will say that if I am mistaken then I will remove previous statement and apologize. Let's find some evidence confirming or denying my belief.

Neko Arc Chaos on "Blazblue Calamity Trigger Alternate Ending View (Possible Spoilers Maybe)"

A rather intriguing movie on how Calamity Trigger ends with a depiction of how certain battle cgs would have turned out nyaa.

LoveNAttrctn on "BlazBlue Won't Install On Games for Windows"

LoveNAttrctn — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 01:42:35 +0000

Hey there everyone! I'm new to the site so go easy on me!

I recently purchased BlazBlu through XBOX/Games for Windows Live. Everytime I go to install the game on my computer, it gets so far when it suddenly closes out. Games for Windows just closes entirely and the download goes back to the beginning as if I never pressed the button to make it start to begin with. It's becoming very frustrating and I have no idea what to do.

Anyone have any idea what could be going wrong?

Redblaze27 on "Blazblue Continuum Shift Extend distribution method?"

Redblaze27 — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 21:52:21 +0000

I know that on Vita, it will be on retail and also downloadable, but what about the PS3/Xbox 360 versions?
I could see it being either a big DLC pack or even a new retail release.
