Famitsu reveals more about God Eater’s Gun and Blade weapon forms

July 30, 2009

Over in Japan, Namco Bandai is continuing to build hype and anticipation for the PSP title God Eater, which is slated to be released there in the fall. As part of the hype train, they’ve revealed more details about the game to Famitsu.

After the barrage of screenshots and details we saw a while ago, this week’s edition of Famitsu gives players a brief look at the HUD and the game’s switchable weapons systems, specifically the Gun and Blade Forms.

According to a translation from PSPHyper, when a player’s weapon is in Gun Form, the Oracle Points gauge in the bottom right of the screen will dictate if the weapon can still be fired. As long as there are Oracle Points remaining, players can still continue to squeeze the trigger and fire.

When the gauge gets depleted, it can be replenished by switching to another weapon form such as Blade Form. This form, on the other hand, makes use of the Stamina gauge. The translation doesn’t say, but it probably depletes pretty much like the Oracle Points gauge. If it does, that would make constant switching between forms a necessity.

The same Famitsu article also shows three new characters and some shots of new Aragami. You can check them out in the scans below.
