    Seems like there will be a new Soul Calibur game, I would guess it will be SCV.

    The only other thing I would like would be a proper XBLA/PSN port of the first game with the full game included, and some online play.

    Source.

    Which part of eternally retold, did you not understand? ;) What a great day, for such huge news!!! \o/
    I hope they will look at motion, animation and pace as key to address for Soul Calibur. I'd like it to be more smooth, and a lot of swash and buckle, really, lol. :)

    I am really excited for this, having just got back into playing beat em ups. I haven't played a SC game since 1, but it is one of my favourite games ever. I was playing it on xbla the other day and really wishing they would make another one, and lo and behold!

    Does SC4 have the epic sort of story mode from SC1? I might pick it up on the cheap if it has. Does Ivy still have Himalayan breasts?

    Good news indeed! If it is in fact a proper Soul Calibur (not counting the handheld one and the terrible Wii spin-off) I just hope they learn from the mistakes of the last two games. A usable online mode and some semblance of balance are a must this time.

    COUNTDOWNZ.

    I really hope it's a console SC.

    Wow, no excitement at all for this and its "Lighter, sharper, more elegant" gameplay?

    Yeah, I'm hyped, just so many games to look forward to at the moment! I hope there's some kind of proper map story mode, rather than the disappointing Tower Mode from SCIV, and a return of the card collecting from SC would be nice too.

    As for the gameplay changes, I'm not sure. As long as the same moves can be used, and the characters are recognisable it's good news I guess.

    Alwaysliked a bit of SC, it's got more competition these days though surely, after a bit of a lull.

    Soul Crush return unlikely:
    Q:Sonofadiva: Will the Soul Crush finishing moves return in SCV? A:That spec is no good. Didn't turn out right. So instead this time round...

    More, including comments about AI implementation and design, on project Director's twitter.
    Likely to see first gameplay, on this week's pre-E3 GTTV article.

    New gameplay trailer's on the front page. Er, super moves? Or critical counters? I sure hope that's a once per round kind of thing...

    Game looks faster than 4 though, which I like.

    Soul Calibur's AI is just as terrible as ever.

    ... at least I hope that was the AI playing there.

    In case anyone missed it, on EG front page earlier today there was a news article announcing three new characters for SCV- Ivy (now 42), Natsu (17 yo apprentice of Taki) and Zwei (obscure new German character).

    After seeing a better video, it was actually bits extracted from a longer video with the devs playing it trying to deliberately show certain things, rather than playing a "proper" match. There's the long version with them talking over it and explaining things on gamespot's youtube:

    Saw this for sale today. I was going to buy it but have way too much to get through. The special edition looks a bit like the Fable III book in its design. I'm just slightly gutted they got rid of Kilik. I always played as him. Looks like I'll have to pick his apprentice.

    Yeah, I've been uhming and ahing about it but with sf x tekken and vita around the corner I'll never get the time to sink into it.

    Plus namco have never knowingly made a good online or balanced game and after the last one I can't be arsed with laggy ring out festivals because you just know there's going to be one character who is broken beyond belief.

    Kiliks unlockable I think. Pretty tempted with this. They've never quite managed to capture the magic of the DC one though.

    I'm seriously considering buying this, but I'm a bit arsed off that they've stripped Ivy's stances out. Suprisingly some of the reports say that the online is pretty good, though. I might sit on it a week and see how that pans out first.

    I think, to be honest, the only reason Im even thinking about getting this is because its the first big game out this year.

    Although having said all that, now I have read all the DLC horseshit on the front page for SF X T, I might switch my choice of games to namco.

    I'm excitable about this. I've always loved SC, and I really liked the character creation in the last one, so I have high hopes.

    Out this Friday, right?

    Yes it is. I might wait for it to drop in price a little, but then the problem I have is that no-one will be playing it online later. Ho-hum.

    Hmm, a friend in London only has an xbox so wants me to get the xbox version so we can play online, but I *hate* the xbox controller for beat 'em ups.

    And other first world problems.

    Oh well, I grabbed this on PS3 as I have a four day weekend coming up and Tesco were prepared to sell it to me while I was in getting some food.

    stray dog renji (edit: it has no underscores >_>;) on PSN, anyone who wants to add me and hope that the online isn't shit.
