New Sengoku Basara X Location Test Videos

Capcom and Arc System Works were both eager to continue showing Sengoku Basara X after the AM show closed its doors. On Sept. 16th, the second location test for the title started its scheduled dates. I'm personally a bit torn about the game. Though the sprites are detailed, the animation isn't quite as smooth as I had hoped for the game. In a lot of ways, there are more Arc System Works influences in the game than Capcom, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but sort of defeats the purpose of Capcom releasing their first original fighter in 3 years (as they have hyped the game).

There's still plenty of time before its December release, so I'm not about to discredit the game entirely. The system is solid enough and there is enough risk vs. reward decisions that mean that the game will appeal to the competitive types. Whether or not it will have the staying power outside of the simple name recognition of the developers and the license however is yet to be seen. It all depends on the crucial build up to when the game finally hits arcades.

Enjoy the videos from milafi. I should have some impressions posted about the game from the AM show just as soon as I get the time to finish editing the information I was given and writing the post.
