Former WWE Superstar Calls On Other Wrestlers To Join His Class Action Lawsuit Against WWE
Arc System Works GDC Presentation on Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-‘s Art Style Now Available Through YouTube
Game Developers Conference is an annual convention that gathers up all the top talent in the current gaming industry and asks them to discuss new ideas as well as talk about how they’ve gone about creating the awesome work they make. The event’s official YouTube channel has been steadily updating over the past month with recordings of this year’s talks, and one the fighting game community has been anticipating has finally arrived.
Developers from Arc System Works were present at the conference this year, and they brought along a very in-depth presentation that went over the art direction and visual design of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN-. They discussed numerous things, from the decision to switch from 2D sprites to 3D models, the influences and goals they set out to achieve, and the various techniques they used to fully realize their ideas within the game.
If you haven’t seen it yet, the talk is a pretty interesting watch, and it’s cool to see how they took techniques from traditional anime art style and translated them into the 3D rendering techniques that led to Xrd’s jaw-dropping visuals. Give it a shot if you have even a passing interest in art and visual design in the games we play.

Ono Teases Next Street Fighter V Character Reveal
Although we’ve only just been introduced to M. Bison in Street Fighter V, troll extraordinaire Yoshinori Ono couldn’t help but jump on Twitter and tease fans about an upcoming character.
According to the Capcom executive, the next character they plan to reveal happens to be someone we haven’t seen for some time. I’m going to go out on a limb here and say this automatically rules out anyone who showed up in Street Fighter IV and its subsequent updates, which leaves us with quite a few choices.
An official character popularity poll held back in 2013 may hold the answer to Ono’s hint. In the worldwide results, characters that both ranked high and haven’t been seen in awhile include Karin, Q, R. Mika, Alex, Urien, and Ingrid.
Could Alex finally make his return to the main Street Fighter series? Will players be able to taunt their way to higher defense with Q? As with much of Ono’s teasing, we’ll likely have to wait some time to find out the answer, but feel free to speculate in the comments below.
