There's a lot to be said for photorealism in games. At the same time, a truly original and unique art-style can often be just as striking and memorable. Regardless of your stance on the issue, it's hard to deny that these new screenshots of upcoming PS4 fighter Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN are particularly pretty.
Set to launch later in the year, the title returns to the series' 2D fighting style, while still retaining its immediate predecessor's 3D visuals. As you can see in the screenshots, both the character models and the backgrounds are pleasantly detailed, and the switch back to the second dimension certainly hasn't sullied any of the franchise's signature brawling bombast.
Will you be duking it out with your friends and enemies in Guilty Gear Xrd SIGN? Do you prefer stylised graphics, or is realism the only way to go? Duck and weave in the comments section below.

I prefer a good art style any day. And this game has a very pleasing art style. Photorealistic graphics are only a requirement in racing games for me.
Yeah, this game looks gorgeous.
Yup. It's also worth noting that this game will have cross platform online play between PS3 and PS4
Wonder if my arcade sticks will be ps4 compatible. Don't feel like buying a new one just yet, especially when I see the pricing on the One sticks.
I've always loved the GG series, I can't wait to sink my claws into this installment.
OMG, most websites act as if this game doesn't exist, outside of last years TGS I haven't heard this game mentioned anywhere else, I wouldn't be surprised if 99% of gamers just don't know this game exists.
Its one of my most anticipated titles, I hope we get an actual release date soon. I live in the UK, it'll likely just appear in the shops with no prior confirmed release date, just as Blaze Blue Chronophantasma did(same developer). I really don't know how they expect these games to sell when the visibility is lower than most indie titles.
