Revealed: How Star Wars got into Soulcalibur

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Jan 15, 2008 How exactly did Darth Vader and Yoda end up in Soulcalibur IV? Did George Lucas reveal himself a massive fan of the beat-'em-up and came begging at Namco's door for their inclusion? Not exactly. Speaking to Gametrailers.com, game director Katsutoshi Sasaki provided this rather non-glamorous explanation of how the Force daddies made it into the sequel: "The thing that I want to make clear is that we make the game for consumers... It's not for us, it's not for the company. ... » Read More

Star Wars characters invade Soulcalibur IV

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Jan 10, 2008 If you thought Link and Spawn as playable characters in Soulcalibur III was barmy enough, Star Wars has gone and invaded the fourth installment with Darth Vader and Yoda squaring up on different platforms. PS3 owners will be able to play exclusively as Darth Vader, while those playing the Xbox 360 version of Namco's fighter will have to make do with Yoda. Sadly then, the pair won't be able to square off, unless Namco decides to make either character available as DLC down the ... » Read More

EXCLUSIVE Soulcalibur IV screens

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Oct 25, 2007 One brandishes a katana that has killed more Japanese people than Godzilla and eyebrows that make Sandy Cohen look like a chemo patient. The other is super cute, and has the smallest breasts in Soulcalibur IV - which means she should still have crippling back problems and extremely limited mobility. Nevertheless, Mitsurugi and Cassandra's life bars are the same damn size, and they're gonna see who can sword-juggle the other one in the air for longer. Check out what happens when ... » Read More

New Soul Calibur 4 shots

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Aug 17, 2007 It's looking like the soul still burns for Namco's acrobatic beat 'em up series, thanks to this 8-strong backhand of new shots. You can see them squaring off in our updated gallery by clicking on the Images tab at the top of this article. On display, you'll see some fine boobs (well, Sophitia) and a boob (well, Voldo). There are some nice action shots, but several of the screens are more character portraits than anything else. To get a really good view remember to click on the ... » Read More

One hit kills for Soul Calibur IV?

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Soul Calibur IV will contain a brand new feature for the boob-heavy battling series, enabling fighters to claim a win without battering down their rival's health bar. "Now there's a gameplay element that will let you win that doesn't involve the health gauge," lead programmer Masaaki Hoshino has revealed during a feature in this month's issue of the UK Official PlayStation Magazine. The mag posits one possibility as Bushido Blade-style instant kills - which sounds like a superb idea, though ... » Read More

E3 07: New Soul Calibur IV trailer slashes out

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

"Transcending history and the world, a tale of souls and sword eternally retold," harps the trailer down below, in a typically olden Soul Calibur tone. Which is just a posh way of saying that Namco's flashy weapon-based scrapper is back, along with that sword with the eye in it. Don't expect the trailer down below to blow your mind or change your perceptions of the series. It's everything we've come to associate with the Soul Calibur games - flamboyant battling, vibrant weapon trails and showy ... » Read More

Soul Calibur to feature online fighting

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Its been confirmed that beat-'em-up sequel Soul Calibur will feature online play. "What's changed this time round is that the next-gen platforms have network infrastructure already in place. We've heard from fans that they really want the game to be online, so we figured that, with the current environment, we really couldn't make SC4 without online play," says Soul Calibur IVs director Katsutoshi Sasaki in an interview with Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine.

PS3 - Soulcalibur IV - Soul Calibur Goes Online

Legendary series finally introducing net play.

Despite online multiplayer's growth, the fighting genre has notoriously resisted embracing the feature. The Mortal Kombat series was an early pioneer, but the old dismissal that online networking isn't fast enough for the split-second timing seems to be failing -- or companies have come to terms with it. Either way, the latest issue of EGM spills the beans: Soulcalibur IV will have online networking when it arrives on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in 2008.

PS3 News | Soulcalibur IV

Soul Calibur IV will be winging its way to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year, Namco has revealed - and there's a wee teaser trailer out to commemorate the occasion. And it wouldn't be a Soul Calibur without some lass with crazy huge mammaries. Though in this installment, Namco has opted to give the already impressively big Ivy a next-gen boob boost. You can see the difference below. And what's with that costume, ... » Read More
