Report Skullgirls 2nd Encore, 4/17 Beowulf Release/Trailer, Robo-Fortune Progress!

Hell yeah cross buy
Wasn't planning on buying the vita version but thanks for giving me a solid reason to bring my vita to work more often c:
 
Please tell me that when she's done Robo will actually be able to put this many fireballs on the screen at the same time
I'm thinking Blockbuster, likely using K instead of P.
 
Physical copy? Didn't thought it would happen, count me in!
 
Oh and by the way THAT TRAILER IS SO FUCKING SICK BEOWULF IS SO HYPE

BEOWULF PULL OUT GRENDAL'S ARM AND BEOWULF WAS ALL LIKE "AHHHH GET A LOAD OF THIS!" AND FILLIA WAS LIKE "NOOOOOOO MY JUMPING HARD PUNCH!!!" AND THEN BEOWULF WAS ALL LIKE "CRY FOR THE MOOOON!!!!!" AND LANDED ON THE POOR SUCKER AND PINNED EM' AND THE PEGUIN REF CAME OUT, COUNTED AND WAS LIKE "IT'S OVER!!!! BEOWULF WINS!!!!" AND BEOWULF WAS HOLDING HIS BELT OVER HIS HEAD GOING "YEAHHHHHHH IM THE COOLEST!!!!!"

BEOWULF IS SO COOL GUYS!!!

AWWOOOOOOOOOO

AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
 
The fact that Band is in it already makes it the best trailer, 10/10 100/100

But more seriously, the combination of the trailer, Beowulf's gameplay and the little tidbits of story showing Beowulf's fight with Grendel made it my favorite of the whole bunch

The Robo progress vid was pretty great, too
 
Dude, I'd seriously would buy a physical copy of the Ps4 disk if it did roll around. I don't a ps3, so why I said Ps4... Still, neat that Sony says It's cool.
 
Just point me in the direction of a physical copy and I will buy it.

If physical copies are happening, Lab Zero just sold me a PS4.
 
If you guys end up putting a combo trial mode into the game, I hope it's called "Virtuoso Mode".
 
Damn, that Beowulf trailer was amazing. Every time I hear Beowulf's voice, I just want to give @Night Phyre a big hug for his amazing voice work, lol. Great work, man.

2nd Encore is a pretty good name for the PS4. I'm eager to hear about these new modes and features. I'm already pretty happy about CrossPlay though.

Out of curiosity, will invites also work between the versions? Just curious since I know the PS4 version of Xrd doesn't allow invites at all and BBCP Extend is already looking to not allow cross console invites. I'm wondering if this is a technical limitation or just something they didn't program in.
 
Dude if I could get a physical copy,
I would get twelve more.
 
YOOO that electric guitar at the beginning of NMO is awesome! Is an mp3 of that available somewhere??
 
Bad news, EU folk...

Just got word from SCEE that they've delayed it to the 24th.

No reason was given, there was no communication, and I don't know why they moved it a full week away when they could've moved it only a day or two.

As you know, we've consistently had problems with this sort of thing with SCEE, so I apologize for getting your hopes up when I probably should've known something like this would happen again.

It's incredibly frustrating - apparently we can't trust their systems to give us correct dates. And they don't tell us when they can't do something or they change something. And they don't respond to e-mails.

I just don't understand how I'm supposed to do business with SCEE or plan anything under these circumstances.
 
TO CLARIFY THAT:
The Beowulf DLC for Europe will be delayed. The PATCH will still be the same time everywhere, because that is us pushing the Go button.

Really? There are NO invites on PS4, even PS4->PS4?

Cross-platform invites are "sort of" a technical limitation, here's the scoop as far as I understand it (which isn't very far):
There are two versions of the invite system. One is STRONGLY recommended for developers' use by all of the PS3 documentation, and gives you all the sexy UI screens like "choose from friends list" etc. It's easy to implement, it's fast to use, and any bugs are not your problem. The other is only mentioned in a few places in the docs as "an alternate method", is more difficult to implement, and doesn't provide pre-made UI for you to use. Pretty much nobody used that one.
So of course, the PS3-recommended invite system was scrapped on PS4, and the PS4 only supports the "alternate method".
Invites sent with one method are NOT COMPATIBLE with the other. So for any PS3 game that used the recommended method (basically all of them), in order to send/receive invites with PS4s, the entire PS3 invite system in the game needs to be rewritten to use the "alternate method". That is a bunch of hooey.
If Xrd indeed doesn't support invites on PS4, it's likely that Arc didn't want to tangle with the "alternate method" at all, and just used the recommended method on PS3 and called it done.
Given our workload, the same may end up being true of SG. I reaaaaaaaaaaaaally don't want to rewrite the entire invite system and possibly introduce bugs.

The flag on Beo's stage need that Robo Fortune art. it's to BA not to add it XD
She and Fukua (and Marie) are chalk, accept it and move on.

I was happy to find out that the PS4 version of SG was getting a platinum. I was going to ask that myself but saw it posted on PSblog today. Tomorrow is almost here.;)

Yeah, like I said on the PS.Blog, sorta kicking myself for not mentioning that in the post itself.
 
What does that mean? You mean like a platinum trophy?
Usually means for a physical copy to be produced, it's to be finalized. Going Platinum is pretty much the first copy of the physical disk.

*Snip lots of great info*

Yup, there are no invites, even PS4->PS4. Instead you have the option to either set a password on your room or you can generate a room with a "SearchID" that won't appear in typical player match searches but people with the SearchID can go straight to the room.

Thanks a lot for the quick and very detailed reply, Mike! That answered my question thoroughly. It's a pretty unfortunate situation. Considering the situation, your work load and all the hard work you guys at Lab Zero have done for us up to now, I won't be too heartbroken if it's not there. I'm really looking forward to the PS4 release, all the same ^,^
 
A Lil' Band already get a ticket to Brazil :D
 
I like it, very megaman-ish which suits Robo-Fortune to a tee.



Will the super cool brand new PS4/Vita features be available on PC? As DLC perhaps? =3

Yes, very megaman-ish! I think this too! And is great :D
 
Aww man whaaat?? No Beowulf for a week more? This sucks. I won't survive the spoilers
 
What time does the patch usually drop?

Going by the time of the day when first story mode spoilers of previous DLC chars popped up in Skullheart, my guess is something between 7,5 (Big Band) and 11 (Eliza) hours from this point.
