JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven

Namco Bandai has announced a new JoJo game: Eyes of Heaven.

Supposedly its a tag-battle game in '3D arena brawls'. It's a bit hard to tell at this point if that means it will be like naruto, j-stars, or ASB with tag added on (it had side-stepping so it counts as a 3D game). No mention of CC2 in the scan, but others have commented that it was like that when ASB was announced.

Here's a link: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/12/16/jojos-bizarre-adventure-eyes-heaven-announced-ps4-ps3/

There's a scan floating around, and a loosely translated one too. I don't know the site's policy on linking/posting scans so I left it out.
The scan shows off Stroheim and Diego.

We should know more this weekend at Jump Festa, where there will be a demo. The same demo will come to ps3/ps4 soon after, so we can all give it a try. I'm still crossing my fingers that it leans more towards ASB depth.
 
Here's the trailer!


Looks like CC2's Naruto style games mixed with a bit of Gundam VS., but with a ton of different ways to do stage interactions. Other fighting games like Injustice have a 'press button here to use object', but it looks like every character will be able to interact with the stage their own way. The demo is only 1 player, and has pre-chosen teams to pick from, but the final game should be multilayer and you can choose your own teams.
 
So based on the trailer, it looks like you can have both players on each team fighting out on the field at once! Wonder if it will have co-op, or 4 player mode? That would be interesting for sure. I hope we get a Western release. I am not sure how well ASB did over here, or if that really matters, but I am curious what the likelihood of us getting the game is.

On a side not, I am quite excited to see what the final roster will be. Take the ASB roster and add in some more characters and I think that everything will be great! I would personally love to see F.F. added into the mix as she deserves some recognition. Anyone else got someone they would like to see on the roster, or any desired changes to ASB characters?

EDIT: Also hooray Diego Brando!
 
Some more tidbits:

It seems the game in 1 Player Offline, with online multiplayer. Also, at least as we know now, you can only control 1 character and can't switch to your partner. I don't know as of yet if it will support up to 4 players online or if two players will have to rely on AI.

Here's someone's impressions with the demo: http://www.shonengamez.com/2014/12/...eyes-heaven-jump-festa-2015-demo-impressions/

There's also a 'burst' option to break combos, so infinite combos like in J-Stars won't be as much a problem here.

Also, believe it or not, they've announced a new patch for ASB: v1.50. If this turns out to be anything more significant that taking the changes from the US release and applying them to JP versions, I'll update that thread.
