From the post: "No videogame genre can survive without evolution. Hell, nothing can survive without evolution. Over time, something bigger and better will appear, and survival of the fittest dictates that one must adapt or die. There are no exceptions. Whether it takes a year or a century, the weak will fall and the strong will take their places.
So, what videogame genre is in greatest need of a lesson in natural selection? There are countless answers, and your own is likely colored by your own experiences. For me, it’s the fighting game. Despite a couple of somewhat important evolutions, my own preferences are issuing an ultimatum: try harder or lose me forever."
Arc System Works' CEO has said that BlazBlue is not done and the studio will touch it the in future to avoid competition with Guilty Gear now.
would love to see it celshaded like guiltygear/granblue etc. Just hope they don't ruin the combat mechanics
"Getting into a long-standing fighting game series is always a challenge for new players. There are so many characters and different versions to go over for many of them and going up against seasoned players who’ve been with the series for years is one of the biggest barriers. BlazBlue, however, has something a lot of other games don’t have; a ton of story. The series is known for having a lot of story content, which can make that initial barrier even harder for new players because if they jump into a new game and play the story mode, they aren’t going to be able to follow it." -- PlayStation Enthusiast

Now though it's time to check out a whole new list of discounted titles. But what bargains are available for gamers to get excited about thanks to the Xbox Live Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 24th-30th July 2018?"
Interesting article. I agree with a lot of what you said, especially about CoD's online leveling elements. However, I do feel like the fighting game genre isn't about reinventing the wheel. To me it's always been about perfecting the balance between all the characters.
FPS Genre. Scratch that, it doesnt need a makeover, it just needs to temporarily stop. Lets see whether devs of FPS games can make other great games within diff genres, or are they only one-trick ponies?
