Published 10 January, 2008 Duration 1:28

In a particularly esoteric, cross genre marketeering move, Namco Bandai has confirmed that Yoda and Darth Vader will be appearing in Soul Calibur IV. Darth will be exclusive to the PS3 version whilst Yoda will appear only on 360.

Vader is clearly the better character in a fight. Yoda looked incredibly lame in Episodes 2 and 3 when he was fighting.

Heh - I bought all three editions of SC2 last gen, so two this time round should be ok

Unless of course there's DLC.

I've always said that the best Star Wars game ever would be a re-skinned Soul Calibur 2 game. Hurrah for Namco then!

That's a surprise. I hope they don't come up with stupid storylines though. I'm probably gonna get the 360 version but I would prefer Vader.

It DOES look stupid, though, even more so than Link/Spawn.. Vader vs. Mitsurugi? Yoda vs. Voldo!? Surreal.. How are they gonna incorporate Yoda's small size? You'll only be able to give him a low kick and vertical attacks?

Vader for the win, plus assuming this is using the same engine as Tekken 6 would mean the game native platform is PS3 anyway! So everyone should be happy as PS3 to 360 ports tend to work out ok.

Screw that. Vader is sooooo much cooler than the green muppet.

i will get the PS3 version, but would really rather have had Yoda than Vader.

But as a couple of others have mentioned, i am sure they will be released on the other platform through DLC.

I prefer Vader so i hope he will be downloadable eventually for XBOX 360. Yoda is cool too though.

To adapt a line from Mortal Kombat ... "Playstation 3 ... weeeens". (I speak as an entirely neutral multi-console owner - but I now know which version I'll definitely be getting)

Seriously ?

The 360 d-pad is soddy IMO

What did Vader say when his 360 got RRoD?

"You have failed me for the last time!"

This may be a SILLY question, but i haven't actually played any of these games and looking for a goof fighter on the 360. Is this just like super smash brothers, but with characters from xbox and playstation?

@Jimbob89

If you want a fighter that's relatively easy to get into then SC is a good choice as it's instantly gratifying to play, the gameplay is deeper than smashbros but still easy to get to grips with, SC is a real mans game, not like that CookingMama gay fest on the Wii

Lol, thank you Kryon! I shall keep that in mind. I've been relying on things like smackdown vs raw for a fighter, but it's just not the same.

So, 360 belongs to the light side of the force and PS3 to the dark one? Hehehe pretty matching .

@Kyron
Only if you count deeper gameplay as OMFG 1 million combos!
@Jimbob
It's a 1v1 (at any single time) game, much more similar to tekken or street fighter than smash bros. It's difficult to say how they're different but they just are...

Whaaaa? They're split between platforms? Aww, that's ass...takes some of the coolness out of the announcement. My flatmate has a PS3, so it looks like Vader territory for me, but I'd like to have used Yoda too...maybe I can get my hands on a 360 by then. Anyone here fancy getting me an early birthday present?

looks the biz... I have a PS3 so that's the version i'll be getting but i have to say the yoda model and shaders look bloody fantastic. still darth vader's lean mean grilling machine wins it.

PS3 version for me then. Just for Vader more than anything else.

Plus I find the PS3 pad better for these types of games.

Cool, though out of place. Doesn't even make sense as the light sabres would cut through the enemies weapons easily.

I love Soul Calibur and Star Wars, so for me this is awesome, but at the same time makes no fucking sense. Although no less than the Link/Spawn/Heihachi thing, so who cares.

At the end of the day LIGHTSABRES WOO!!!

Why not both characters on both consoles ?? no one is going to be daft enough to by a PS3 and a 360 version just to get these characters!!

I love SC and Star Wars but, as cool as this is, it doesn't really make much sense. And the whole thing will be broken for me as soon as a lightsabre is parried by a sword (which I also think happens in the trailer).

Lightsaber being parried being a sword is annoying, but they couldn't really have done it any differently.

Would've been cool to slice a few people up though...

I see many want Vader to Yoda but think about it with the cool moves( jumping around like the ones in movies ) Yoda can do he'll probably be better to play as.

As much as I love Star Wars and Soul Calibur and the fact this idea is random as hell, I think that 'Calibur 4 will be the best 'Calibur yet... Bugsy Darth though...
