Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- for Next-Gen?

Last month's reveal of Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- was a moment of joy for the fighting game community, but very little info was forthcoming then and the game was nowhere to be seen at last week's E3 show.

Today Siliconera posted some info based on an interview with Arc System Works president Minoru Kidooka (link here) in which he stated that Guilty Gear Xrd will be making an appearance at E3 2014 and that they are considering designing the game for next-generation platforms.

It seems nothing is decided in stone yet, but in regards to next-generation platforms, I will gladly take Guilty Gear Xrd as a PS4 title, complete with true 1080p 60fps performance and a sweet-ass Guilty Gear themed arcade stick to accompany it's release.

I say go for it Arc System Works! Make Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- a landmark for fighting games in the next console cycle!

Worth Checking Out: PersonaGAF Podcast With Erin Fitzgerald

On the popular NeoGAF forums there is a community of fans of the Persona franchise who have created their own podcast called S.Link FM. The most recent episode of the show had special guest Erin Fitzgerald, who voiced the English version of Chie Satonaka in Persona 4 Golden, Persona 4 Arena and Persona 4: The Animation, join in the discussion.

This was definitely a great show which dived into the inner business workings and psychology of anime and videogame voice acting, all things Persona 4, all things Chie Satonaka and some other miscellaneous subjects. Do check it out if you can.
