So apparently...Guilty Gear XX is getting a new revision

[hybridial]

I'm buying it. It's a game I do actually like (yes, really, lol) and it's a proper update to the game with online play available on modern systems.

Plus I haven't spent a penny on Blazblue... I guess some of you have and are a bit pissed about all the rehashes of that, lol.

So it seems the XBLA and PSN version won't be R at launch, just a port of the original PS2 Plus, but the rebalancing will be patched in at a later date. That's how that sounds anyway.

Gulity Gear Accent Core Plus R is coming to PlayStation Vita next year with full voice acting. Looks like this will be a good reason for me to skip the PSN download release if the Vita version is retail.

Why is that a good reason to skip the PSN release? PSN will probably be cheaper and you don't have to deal with the vita's shitty controls.

Not to mention more players will be playing the PS3 version.
