Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R Update Coming to PSN and XBLA in Spring 2013

by USD on December 17th, 2012 at 9:32 am

The downloadable versions of Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus for PlayStation Network and Xbox LIVE Arcade will be receiving the “R” update next spring, Arc System Works has announced. This will bring the game balance up to date with the AC+R version currently available in arcades. An exact date has yet to be announced.

Game Version “+R” Added Content

The “+R” title screen is adopted.
The option to switch between the “ACP” and the “AC+R” versions is added to the Help & Options menu.
It is possible to play all game modes in the “+R” version.
Kliff and Justice are playable in both Ranked and all Player Matches.
A “+R” only ranking board is added to the leaderboards. All previous leaderboards will remain available.
New Trophies and Achievements will be added.

Usability Improvements

When transitioning to the character select screen, the previously selected character and color page will be highlighted.
For all network matches, the conditions for the “Area” and “Connection Quality” settings are more strict.
For ranked matches, the matching speed is increased and matching with an appropriate opponent is improved. When using custom search, the searching will continue to retry until an opponent is found. *It is also possible to cancel during the search. At the match preparation screen after matching, an icon displaying your connection quality to the opponent is added. When a match is found, sound effect, voice and controller vibration notices have been added.
For player matches, multiple players can now enter the lobby. Rules can be set to “winner stays”, “loser stays”, or “random”. Within the lobby, voice chat is enabled. When not participating in a match, it is possible to spectate. When a new player joins the lobby, sound effect, voice, and controller vibration notices have been added.
With a new option for network matches, it’s possible to set a preference for 1P or 2P. If both players have the same preferred side, sides will be chosen at random.
In addition, based on user feedback, various other problems and issues within the game content will be fixed.

I hope that means a “rematch” button…but this is arcsys.

  I hope so too. Although in the meantime, if you press during the versus screen, the game loads almost immediately. You don’t have to wait a while on it like you did on the PS2 version.

It’s good to hear that update is gonna be in spring… which can also translate to just before summer xD So 3-6 months from now.

Didn’t download the game yet cause I have exams. It’d be awesome if arc has a Christmas sale. Either way I’m getting this soon.

  it says it in the article
  - KubikiriTurkojin
    
    where? it says theyll make it more strict. i didnt see improved netcode anywhere.
    - Bill Cosby
      
      what does ‘strict’ mean to you exactly?
      - tanjil
        
        strict just implies a smaller search parameter. So if people don’t fit that criteria matches will take longer to find, thus leaving the actual netcode pretty much untouched.
        
        Improved netcode would imply changing the programming that goes behind their current netcode.
      - Bill Cosby
        
        what you imagine it implies and what it actually means after its been translated are two different things.
      - tanjil
        
        well at least i can back up my definition. I wonder what you imagine it means.
        
        For all network matches, the conditions for the “Area” and “Connection Quality” settings are more strict.
        
        With my basic programming knowledge I can tell you “conditions” imply conditional statements such as “if” as in maybe before its something like
        if region==same { search(North America)}
        and the update would be…
        if region==same
        {
        search(Canada);
        if (Match ==0)
        {
        search(USA);
        }
        
        Obviously the netcode is more complex than anything I can come up with but my point still stands. They are most likely going to do exactly as I said, since its what they said they’d do. Otherwise they would have said “we’ll improve the netcode” which implies changing much more than some search parameters.
        
        Though it’s not the most positive way of thinking, I also doubt that they are willing to invest too much resources in fixing the netcode of a $15 remake game.
        
        The one thing that makes me hope I’m wrong is the fact that they say the matching speed is improved. That can either mean better netcode but more likely an if statement that makes it search for a shorter time for the optimal match.

I hope they patch this for free. If not, make it reasonable (<$10) .

Somewhere inside Capcom’s headquarters, the President of Franchise Rehashing blushed at the longest, most rehashed fighting game on the market. Arcsys is trying to take the reign from Capcom it seems. Do you dare to bet how many more editions Blazblue will get? Maybe Guilty Gear will get yet ANOTHER one in a year or two?
