Rock and Roll All Nite
Are you adequately prepared to rock? Arc System Works sure hopes so, as next week will see the publisher launch an open beta to test the rollback netcode update for its excellent anime fighterGuilty Gear Xrd Rev 2— The beta will kick off October 17 on the Steam release of the 2017 smasher.
While ArcSys is currently enjoying the fruits of more recent entryGuilty Gear Strive, its predecessor is still tightly-held by many of theGGfaithful as one of, if not the, finest entry in the long-running fighting game franchise. Recognizing this, the developer is taking steps to ensure that those players who still wish to party like it’s 2017 are afforded the best experience available, with the same silky smooth netcode that younger brotherGG Striveoffers.
To get folks in gear (pun fully intended) for the beta, ArcSys is also holding a slew of discounts on theGuilty GearSteam back catalog. New and veteran players can bag several titles includingGuilty Gear Xrd Rev 2, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus R,andBlazBlue Cross Tag Battle, alongside their respective DLC, for hugely discounted prices. It should be noted that none of these games feature thenew and improved version of Testament,but Baiken and Bridgetarein the mix, so they’re well worth your dollarydoos.
Prepare to meet Elphelt. Be very afraid.
