Soul Calibur IV

[Slay]

What's the game about: It's the latest episode in Namco's super-popular Soul Calibur series, and the first one on the PS3/360 hardware generation. The one-on-one 3D weapons-based fighting action that has always been the distinguishing characteristic of the series remains unchanged. Check out the latest issue of EGM for a cover story on the game, revealing much more.

What's new for E3: The addition of online fighting means that Soul Cali...er, Soulcalibur joins the other three 3D Japanese fighting franchises (Tekken, Virtua Fighter, Dead or Alive) in the online match-up arena, moving competitive combat out of the arcades and into living rooms everywhere, opening the field for players of all skill levels to meet and compete. Now, instead of padding your record by whupping your baby sister's ass, you can bring your A-game to the masses to see how you really stack up. The game wraps up with new characters, bigger stages (for fewer ring-outs), and the possibility of all-new game features that haven't been decided on, but could include anti-ringout measures. http://media.1up.com/media?id=3173724

What we like: Not only is online play good for gamers, but it's good for the genre, which despite the popularity of the final four, has been shrinking despite itself over the last half a decade. With more people playing together online, it's possible that the fighting game genre may see a resurgence in popularity, which could inspire more sequels and, hopefully, more innovation. What we dislike: Ivy's been going back for seconds, as evidenced by the first promotional renders we've seen. Another thing is that the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions seem like they will be the first releases of the game, with no arcade release preceding them. That factor led to balance issues with Soul Calibur 3 (since an arcade release often supplies the dev team with valuable feedback in this area) and could become an issue here.

Namco considering motion control in Soul Calibur IV

While the chances of us getting platform-specific characters, like Spawn, aren't very likely in Soul Calibur IV, Namco is hard at work at offering other bonuses. In an interview with 1up, Katsutoshi Sasaki, the game's director, said his team at Project Soul is looking into the possibility of including Sixaxis motion control. He said it's "something that we're considering, but we'll have to come up with some good ideas for it first."

But that's not all. In the same interview, lead programmer Masaaki Hoshino said they're also hoping to give gamers the ability to save their custom characters to the PS3's memory card and take it to a friend's house to do battle.

Although it seems like it would be difficult for the developers to include any sort of motion control that would make sense, toting your custom characters on a memory card would be pretty handy. All we care about, though, are Ivy's friends and finally some Soul Calibur online action!

Star Wars in Soul Calibur IV


First ever look at the Star Wars characters in Soul Calibur IV!

Λοιπον καποιες πληροφοριες σχετικα με τους χαραχτηρες star wars που ειδαμε.

Update: Bad news. Apparently, Darth Vader will be exclusive to the PS3 version, and Yoda will be exclusive to the 360 version. So the Jedi and the Sith won’t actually be clashing swords – not with each other, at any rate.

pdate II: As one of our forum goers has pointed out, this could be a subtle little message from Namco; that the Xbox 360 is good, and the PS3 is evil. There’s the obvious symbolism, like how the PS3’s sheen matches Vader’s polished helmet, as opposed to the Yoda-green of the Xbox logo.

But wait – there’s more! When your 360 suffers a total system failure – when it goes over to the dark side – its little LED lights go from green to red. Red – the colour of all Sith Lords’ Lightsabers. Diabolical!

We could be reading too much into this, but it’s weird to see Star Wars characters taking sides in the console wars.

Ενταξει νομιζω οτι ο vader ειναι η σωστη επιλογη....

Really, take a look at this quick thing here. This isn't my idea, I've been hearing it from several people and I thought it could use it's own thread to justify the exclusiveness of each character.

Vader
Vader's looks all black and his helmet and armor has always seemed very "shiny". He even has bits of whitish-silver trim. Notice how the main colors of the PS3 are Black and Silver.


Yoda
Yoda's always been seen wearing a white cloak. He's also green, in skin color and lightsaber color. Notice that the main colors of the 360 are White and Green.

Gamespy's Soul Calibur IV Preview

We'll admit that compared to Soulcalibur II, we felt Soulcalibur III was a bit anti-climactic; it never quite clicked like II did. With IV, it feels like the Soulcalibur's team focus on gameplay is 100%, with a few minutes of game time sending us right back into old, fondly remembered patterns of guard impact, strike, and ring-out. It's a testament to the quality of this early build of the game that game editors across the room found themselves almost immediately bunkered down in front of the televisions, forming lines and calling out "got winner!" Discussions of how badly laid-out CES was or plans for the year's content miraculously ceased as everyone, series vet or newb, did their absolute best to beat any and all comers.

It's still too early to call Soulcalibur IV; the team certainly has plenty of time to work on it. How well the single-player, character creation, and online systems will work are all open questions. But after our brief time with the game at CES, playing with a meager three fighters and two stages, we can't wait for more.

Ubisoft to distribute Soul Caliburs


Ubisoft has signed up to distribute Soulcalibur IV for PS3 and Xbox 360 and Soulcalibur Legends for Wii. All three SKUs will be released in summer 2008. Did you like our use of "SKUs" there? We always feel clever when we say SKUs.
It's been a fun old day for those of you watching after Soulcalibur IV, which still can't seem to make its mind up about whether there's a space between "Soul" and "calibur", so we're going to be inconsistent too. Soul Calibur IV will have Darth Vader in it on PS3 and Yoda in it on Xbox 360. Did you know that? Oh. Better watch the video, then.
There's lots of other videos and information on the Xbox 360 and PS3 gamepages, too.
As for Soul Calibur Legends, it's a bit different to the regular beat-'em-ups, using the Wiimote and Nunchuk to fight. You can get a better idea watching the videos hidden away on its own gamepage, actually. And we wish you would, because that way we can go home.
Anyway, watch out for both in Europe this summe

Find out the day of the release we must. Take down the xbox we should! Και μόνο που σκέφτομαι ότι θα ακούγετε η αναπνοή του Darth Vader και το βζιιιουν βζιιιιουν από το lightsaber...πω πωωωω... Αλήθεια πότε βγαίνει;;;

Ώρε να βάλουν και κανέναν ήχο στο ps3 με την φωνή του darth που να λέει "xbox you are not a gamestation yet" (παράφραση του you are not a jedi yet στον Luke) να τρελαθούμε!!!
