Here's what I've gathered about the game (no guarantees on the accuracy)
Button Setup
  
 . . . . .
The button setup is very similar to XX, but as you can see, there is no Dust button. This button (represented by "B" for differenciation purposes), is the Furimuki button (turn-around button). It is uesd to turn around in the game.
Basic Controls
Back Attack
Attack behind you.
Line Switch
Changes lines
Anti-Line Attack
Attacks player on the other line
Line Knock-back Attack
Knocks opponent to the other line
Dust has reverted back to
Psyche Burst is now
Other than that, the controls remain the same as XX.
Gameplay
As you can see, there are 2 lines in GGDX, a la Fatal Fury. This game uses 4 machines and is up to 4 players. Possible combinations are:
1 vs 1
1 vs 1 vs 1
1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 1
1 vs 2
1 vs 1 vs 2
2 vs 2
On top of having your own life bar, there is a Joint Soul, which is like life stocks. When you run out of stocks, you lose. When playing with a team, the entire team shares this stock.
No implemting the cards yet, but I assume it'll be like VF4.
Let me see what else I can scrap up...

Confirmed in this version:
Sol, Ky, May, Milia, Bridget, I-no, Axel, Baiken, Slayer, Chipp, and Jam.
There are 20 spaces on the screen, which means that there is one less character from #Reload (Robo Ky, perhaps?), or new characters replacing old ones.
Correction: There is no Dust attack; just sweep and mid-air dust.
And there are no Ichigeki moves either.
Character select for 2 player mode looks like CVS2, and 4 player mode looks like Smash Brother DX.
Looks like we finally get new stages. Confirmed are "some planet with a giant in the back" "May Beach" and "rooftop of the Chinese stage".
From what I hear, the actual gameplay hasn't changed. The bloodsuck loop has been confirmed.
That's about all I can find right now.

As usual thanks for your report Chupiler!!!
And now the usual question:
did you see a graphics change??
is there a CPU vs mode?
is there some bosses?
did the crapy "flame FX" have disapear in the super moves??
did you have played it your self??
Unfortunately I haven't played it (or SSZero) as all the fighting game companies conspired against me and held their location tests after I came back from Japan...
Currently I haven't found any shots of it, so I can only write what other said (and trust it's true...)
It's using the AtomisWave (which I'm not impressed by), and according to those who saw it, the height of the character is a bit small. Someone said it looked better while someone else said it looked better...than GG.
I didn't hear anything about the bosses, and yes, there's a vs CPU mode (there were 4 machines for 4P + 1 machine for 1P).
I'll edit in my short comments (which have no pull, since I haven't played it, but...). Kinda looks like this'll turn out as RBFF + Yuyuhakusho (MD). Still...I can imagine 1 vs 2...Shisho...
At least seems original and with a lot of possibilities.
If they implement it right, GGDX could be some real fresh air into the saga (which has started to be criticised for being like "SF2 & sons"  ) and into fighting games in general, correct me if I'm wrong.
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...
How do you say "sushi" in Japanese? :D

I'll try to answer your questions, but don't trust me 100%, since I haven't confirmed any of this myself.
Seems like this is based of XX, not #Reload.
From what I read, anti-line attack hits both, but the instant a normal attack hit one guys, the attack detection disappears (can only hit 1). Not sure about specials or supers.
Teammates don't look like they can hit each other.
I just read an answer to the blocking question, and it goes like this (neeed J-font):
●=enemy
○=you
arrow = direction you're facing
●→ ←○ ←●
hold right to block
So it's basically opposite of ANY opponent.
●→●→ ○→
In this situation, you can't block. You need to turn around first.
People are saying think of it as Blue Reload. Slayer's bloodsuck loop was confirmed, and I can only see more unblockable and infinites when you throw in another player...
There seemed to be slowdown in the game. Maybe they should've just stuck with the Naomi board.

Still, such an arcade setup would have to be very expensive. While this may fly in Japan, it seems unlikely that arcade operators will pay for 4 GGDX machines.
It's likely that they're just choosing to use a Deluxe Edition of the arcade setup for the beta test so the game can be seen and played more easily. For huge arcade setups like that, the company usually sells a Normal and Deluxe version (not the actual names). For example, check out Vampire Night, which is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. There's a normal version that looks like every standard gun game has since the mid-'80s, but there's also the deluxe version that offers a bigger screen, a bigger play area that probably makes aiming easier, and more importantly (at least for the arcade owner), takes up a lot of space and a lot more money than the normal version.
My question, since I've never actually played Guilty Gear and can't ask specific versus mode questions, is about the single player. How does it work? Does it just pit you against one or two CPU opponents or does it give you a CPU ally like SFA3's Dramatic Battle Mode does? It sounds a lot like Dramatic Battle Mode, and may in fact have been inspired by it, so I'm guessing that it probably works the same way. And it will probably be chaos just like Dramatic Battle Mode, too.
Multiple lines, though... ugh. I love Mark of the Wolves and all of the Fatal Fury characters, but I hate the classic FF gameplay.

It does NOT give you a CPU ally. There are times when you are taking on TWO opponents by yourself. If they're not on the same team, it's possible for them to fight amongst them selves and victor of he two take you on last. That doesn't happen all too often, but it's possible.
