In stills the pin-sharp sprites, each edged with a flick of black ink, imply that this is a hand-drawn 2D game. The game, an update to last year's Guilty Gear Xrd Sign, does not stray from its series' defining characteristic: it is sumptuous-looking. Approach any cabinet and wait for an opponent (up to 64 in each lobby) to sit down opposite you for a match. A bevvy of wooden arcade cabinets sit in a field. Revelator boasts the most adorable online lobby of any video game. Revelator, by contrast, offers a tower of tutorials, challenges, playmodes and distractions, including the best online mode in its class. Despite this success, Revelator does not bespeak a studio lounging on laurels: its generosity shames Street Fighter 5, which launched anaemically in February, propped up by a stack of menu beams marked 'under construction'. Street Fighter 5's battle director Ryuichi Shigeno, a professional Guilty Gear player, cited the series as a major influence on Capcom's latest.
In this way, Ishiwatari's game became an overnight contender.ġ8 years later and, in spirit, at least, Guilty Gear has finally found dominance. Guilty Gear, in its labour-intensive workaround, offered a glimpse of a high-definition shift in games, film and TV that was still some years away. He made few friends at his new employer in those early months (not least because the team was working on PlayStation, with its comparatively weak 2D capability) but the results had the intended effect. Ishiwatari, who still maintains creative control over the series, harangued the artists at Arc System Works to draw the game's sprites with four times the number of pixels than any other game at the time. Availability: Out June 10th on PS4 and PS3.
