JoJo's Bizarre Adventure | R(emaster) (PC/PS5/XSX/PS4/XB1/NSW) - 2022

[fantasticdan]

The game is out btw. Lots of videos/streams about. Can buy with a JP or HK PSN account (HK is cheapaer), both versions are in japanese. Seems extremely unlikely it will get an english release.

Looks extremely slow, clunky, and full of infinites. Hitstun lasts for days and doesn't scale in combos, to the point that some characters can infinite with just jump -> jump normal -> repeat. There is also no gravity scaling in combos, so juggle infinites (esp in the corner) seem easy. When cc2 said this wasn't going to be a serious fighting game, they weren't kidding around.

The in-fight voice acting is pretty obnoxious; the characters seem to have a line for EVERYTHING they do, so they're constantly clipping/cutting themselves off in a combo. Ex:

That's what I thought as well when I saw it on Zhieeep stream earlier today...

Namco Bandai announces today that one of the best-selling manga ever; Jojo's Bizarre Adventure will be reaching North American & European streets in 2014 on PlayStation 3. With Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle, gamers will get a chance to experience an action-fighting game following the authentic Hirohiko Araki manga! This game has already reached the perfect 40/40 mark in the praised Japanese Famitsu magazine.

Since its first appearance in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1987, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure manga has sold more than 70 million copies around the world; it is also the second longest running Shueisha manga. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure counts the story of Jonathan Joestar’s cursed family; the manga covers the adventures of several generations and their Nemesis; each part of the series focuses on a descendant and has its fair share of belligerents.

By acquiring a legendary status, Hirohiko Araki’s masterpiece inspired numbers of anime and manga franchises. Furthermore, it was associated with the famous Italian brand Gucci, in order to celebrate their respective 30th and 90th birthdays: a world premiere!

Developed by the well-known CyberConnect2 studio, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is made to join games such as Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja series within the best anime-based fighting games.

In order to keep this game within Jojo's Bizarre Adventure spirit, developers included plenty of JoJo-esque features (Battle Styles, Heart Heat Gauge etc.). Fans will fight with characters coming from all of 8 Jojo's Bizarre Adventure chapters . Stylish and colourful battles against some of the most famous bosses such as Dio Brando, Enrico Pucci and much more await players. This new game opens the door to eye-popping fights in beautifully drawn and animated places from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure universe!

“We are delighted to add one of the longest running manga licenses to our catalogue, a manga that acquired an-almost holy status!” said Olivier Comte, Senior Vice President, Namco Bandai Games Europe. “The association between Namco Bandai Games Europe and CyberConnect 2 has always been successful, delivering amazing games such as the Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja series, and I’m sure that this time again we are going to exceed all Jojo’S fans’ expectations!”

Campaign mode is Pay-2-...Continue?

The JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle team is “upset” by the response to the game’s controversial micro-transaction system, and will make adjustments, the game’s developers shared with Siliconera.

While JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle sold very well during its first week in Japan, the game received a lot of flak for including a system in its Campaign mode that imitated the pay-for-time/cooldown systems that many free-to-play mobile games use.

Here’s how it works: The player has a “Battery” with 10 segments, and each fight in Campaign mode requires the use of at least one. These segments recover over time. Alternatively, items to restore Battery can be purchased off of PSN. Naturally, this irritated a lot of players, and was a contributing factor to a sudden dip in the game’s price, shortly after launch.

Although the recharge rate for Batteries has been sped up from 20 minutes per-bar to 5 minutes per-bar in a recent patch in Japan, the inclusion of the system is still a point of contention for a number of players, who feel it shouldn’t exist in the first place.

Siliconera asked CyberConnect2 CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama and Namco Bandai’s Noriaki Niino if this system would still be in the game when the English version releases.

Niino replied that the system was implemented so “people could enjoy the game longer,” and while the international version will have “lots of adjustments and improvements,” it will largely be the same as the Japanese version. He added that the team was “upset” that fans misinterpreted their intentions to make the game have more replay value, but that they are looking for a way to make amends, perhaps by offering something that might have been a paid item for free.

The development team is currently making adjustments to that system in the Japanese version, and those adjustments will be reflected in the game’s international release.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle is set for a 2014 release in the US and Europe.

English version will have changes to match the Anime localization

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle will have character names changed for the west, Namco Bandai have shared with Siliconera.

Because JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is heavily inspired by music, it’s always been a challenge to bring to the west in both game and manga form. Characters with names like Devo and Vanilla Ice are renamed things like D’bo and Iced during localization in order to skirt any sort of copyright issues. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle is no exception.

That said, there are a couple of interesting aspects to the game’s localization. For one thing, Namco Bandai are working with JoJo publisher Shueisha to make sure that the localized names for the characters fit with Hirohiko Araki’s intentions “while not offending any party”. Additionally, the localized names will be matched to the U.S. and European versions of the recent anime to ensure consistency.

Namco also confirmed to us that the U.S. version of the game will retain the Japanese text that appears onscreen mid-fight (since, as CyberConnect2 president Hiroshi Matsuyama commented, Japanese sound effects are also present in the localized version of the manga) and the Japanese voice acting. So, the mid-fight 無駄s and オラs will remain intact when the game reaches the west.

Coming to NA, EU, & Australasia in Spring 2014

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle will arrive in North America, Europe, and Australasia in spring 2014, Namco Bandai has confirmed.

Previously, the game had only been confirmed for a general 2014 release.

All Star Battle will feature several different gameplay modes. Story Mode takes players through the entire manga story: the Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, Stone Ocean, Steel Ball run, and JoJolion chapters. Namco Bandai provided today detailed the first three:

• Chapter 1: Phantom Blood – Victorian England – When Dario Brando was about to die, he asked Lord George Joestar a favor… Little did he know that this favor will change the fate of the Joestar family and its descendants. When joining Jonathan Joestar and his father, Dario Brando’s evil son, Dio Brando, had other devilish schemes in his mind. After several truly noxious actions, Dio Brando reaches a whole new level when he puts on the Stone Mask which turns him into a vampire! Fighting vampires is a complete new deal for JoJo; only Will A. Zeppeli and his mastery of the Ripple art can help him…
• Chapter 2: Battle Tendency – New York City – Two generations after Dio vs Jonathan Joestar fights, Jonathan’s Grandson, Joseph Joestar discovers that one of his family’s old friends has disappeared. This leads him into a new adventure where he ends-up searching for ‘Stone Pillars’ and the ‘Red Stone of Aja’ through Mexico, Italy and Austria! During his odyssey, our main hero will encounter fierce and tricky foes such as San Tan, Wamuu, Esidisi and Kars!
• Chapter 3: Stardust Crusaders – Japan – Jotaro Kujo inherited his grandfather’s strength, but unlike Joseph Joestar, the young Jotaro likes to get in trouble and in fights. All these fights lead him to encounter Muhammad Avdol, his grandfather’s friend. Running into this man made Jotaro realize that he wasn’t the only person carrying an Evil Spirit with him, in other words: many strong people have a “Stand”. Quickly, Joseph figures out that this phenomenon is linked with Dio Brando reemergence. This discovery forces Kujo Jotaro, Joseph Jostar, Noriaki Kakyoin, Muhammad Avdol and their friends to find out the Joestar’s family nemesis: Dio!

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle will launch for PlayStation 3 in Europe and Australasia on April 25, Namco Bandai announced.

Namco Bandai said it will have more information regarding the North American release date “in the next few days.”

The CyberConnect2-developed fighter comes with 32 playable characters on the game disc. In Japan, post-launch character releases brought the game to 41 characters total. In Europe, two downloadable characters will be available for free at launch. They are:

• Yoshikage Kira (Chapter 4 – Diamond is Unbreakable): Originally a salesman who is aspiring for a quiet life, Kira is full of contradictions and madness. Why a man seeking discretion would be wearing a purple suit? Why a man seeking discretion would be a serial-killer for years? Lot of questions remains unanswered around this scary man and his terrifying stand: Killer Queen…
• Shigekiyo Yangu (Chapter 4 – Diamond is Unbreakable): Nicknamed “Shigechi”, like a lot of characters in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, he appears to be full of paradoxes. People thought that being naïve can’t be associated with being a smart fighter? Ask Shigechi about it! His encounter with the frightening Kira remains one of the most important twists in the 4th Chapter…
