Soulcalibur IV stimulated by competition News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
Soulcalibur IV director Katsutoshi Sasaki has said he is looking forward to competing with Capcom and Street Fighter IV.
Instead of being worried, Sasaki relishes the creative stimulation, and likes seeing fresh ideas that could be incorporated into Soulcalibur in the future.
"When we see some other game that has some new element that we could probably borrow and make Soulcalibur even better, then we will definitely look into it," Sasaki told MTV Multiplayer. "Creators are always being stimulated by all the games on the market."
Soulcalibur IV is being created with novices in mind, apparently, with online largely included so that you could be paired-off with those of your own skill level.
Sasaki also touched on the controversial height-advantage of special character Yoda in the game, who will naturally avoid high swings from taller opponents. Sasaki said not to worry, as the little green man will have his own disadvantages to overcome.
Soulcalibur IV will be out for PS3 and 360 on 31st July.

One character here or there is hardly a major issue, personally I like the learning curve of SC, so I'll be picking that one up.

I'd say it's pretty likely both consoles will get the other character as DLC at some point. |

@viper_h:
Exclusive platform content in multiformat titles is far less retarded than platform exclusives any day. You do NOT need a PS3 for 95% of SC IV content, but you DO need one for Uncharted. Just like my PS3 will never fire up Halo 3. (Plus it meant the poor Gamecube got the best version of SC II (with Link) whereas XBox and PS2 got the un-fitting Spawn and that Tekken guy respectively - neither of which traditionally are known for using weapons - but placed in a weapon-based fighter.) |

It's nice to see a developer that just acknowledges the fact they borrow ideas from other series' rather than just saying "Yeah.. no, we thought of it first, but just added it now".
As for the characters, it seems to be confirmed that you get both with the limited edition (which apparantly isn't coming to Europe). But either way, it's more than definate that you'll see both characters on both systems, sooner or later. |

What makes you think they wanted Vader? Maybe Microsoft went on a cockathon to get Yoda. Alternatively it might just have been a marketing decision based on Yoda being green, to fit in with the 360s colours. |

"Are they bringing back breakable weapons"
That was one of my favourite parts of Soul Blade, I loved the way they'd actually gone to the extent to actually design a (admittedly limited) combat engine for fist fighting. Great game, and I know I'm in the minority but I've never really gotten on with any of the sequels. |

"I'll be buying both, both look awesome"
Im pretty sure he meant both Soulcalibur 4 and Street Fighter 4. Not both versions of SC4.
