According to reps manning the company's E3 room, the devs are currently putting all of their effort towards getting the game ready for its release for the PS3 and Xbox 360 on July 29. As for what and when exactly we can expect from the demo when it's finally released, Namco Bandai wouldn't say, teasing only that it'll be available sometime down the road. news Jul 17, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-170693.aspx GameSpot writes: Get ready for an onslaught of undead pirates and fleshy eyeball-equipped swords. Namco Bandai Games today announced that Soulcalibur IV has gone gold for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. While the game has garnered the most headlines for its inclusion of Star Wars characters (Darth Vader on the PS3, Yoda on the Xbox 360, and Force Unleashed's Secret Apprentice on both), Soulcalibur IV is notable for a few other reasons. In addition to being the first-ever version of the series playable online, Soulcalibur IV includes critical finish moves to end matches in a single hit, and secret characters designed by Japanese manga artists. news Jul 16, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-168955.aspx Adding a further dash of hype to the soon to be released Soul Calibur IV for Xbox360 and PLAYSTATION3, Character Designer Hideo Yoshie has released a statement divulging the aim of the design behind new character Algol. news Jul 13, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-168601.aspx PS3 Fanboy talks about a new character announced for Soulcalibur IV. Despite appearing in the Soulcalibur IV UbiDays 2008 Transcendence trailer, Algol didn't become official until today. Heralded as the strongest character ever in SC series by character designer Hideo Yoshie, Algol possesses the Soul Calibur on his left hand and the Soul Edge on his right. He can also fly in the air and has ten kinds of weapons built into his body. Algol's armor is of a bird motif and originated in an ancient kingdom lost to the sands of time. news Jul 12, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-168285.aspx As Namco's frantic fighter (published over here by Ubisoft) nears release, another character has been revealed. And it's not all about the Star Wars cash-in either. Say hello to Algol... Hideo Yoshie, character designer, explained, We aimed to make a character that is the 'king' of an ultra ancient civilization and a character that obviously proves the setting of being the strongest character ever in SC series. So, he's wearing a costume from the ancient kingdom that isn't recorded in history, and it was really difficult and troublesome to make the design of his costume as so just by looking at it. The final motif of the amour ended up being the 'bird', but there were many other ideas like the lion, cobra, dinosaur and more. I believe the design combined dynamism and splendor, and is very cool. news Jul 11, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/f/gamings-most-revealing-oops-shots/a-20080709101958468062/g-20070613105154459085 Pixels, polygons and pants.

We've confirmed with local distributor e-Xpress Interactive a couple of days back that Soulcalibur IV will indeed not make it to Indian shores, thanks to the fact that it's an Ubisoft game. Since Ubisoft doesn't believe in offering any sort of sales concession when it comes to Indian markets, and e-Xpress, like anyone else, wouldn't want non-existent profit margins, Indian gamers eager for Soulcalibur IV will now have to look at Play-Asia (as usual) for their imports. Speaking to us about the situation, e-Xpress has clarified that rather than haggle with Ubi and import the games for 'an obscenely high price', they've elected to not import the game in all likelihood. But the real terrifying part of the conversation came when Fallout 3 came into the picture. In a press release issued last month, Ubisoft had claimed that it would be distributing Fallout 3 in some PAL territory countries in Europe including Germany, Switzerland and Austria. Which indirectly means that if India's import were to happen via Ubi, there's no chance of Fallout 3 ever being officially released for the consoles here. news Jul 6, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-165679.aspx One Namco Bandai fighter shines, another flops. 1UP delivers their report on Soul Calibur IV, Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm and Tales of Vesperia from Namco Bandai's booth at the Anime Expo. news Jul 6, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-164189.aspx The BBFC has deemed Soulcalibur IV worthy of a 12 rating in the UK for its moderate fantasy violence.

Add to that an alleged 2GB save file and PS3 owners with a measly 20GB would have had to do some serious housecleaning in between grumbling sessions. The rumors of its disk space requirements have been greatly exaggerated, says the publisher. news Jul 2, 2008 http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/f/the-sexy-babes-of-soulcalibur-iv/a-20080626144530461037/g-20070613105154459085 EXCLUSIVE screens and videos plus a breast-ton of art from the steamy swordfighter feature Jun 26, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-161463.aspx VG247: The new Famitsu has hit the Japanese streets and those busy bi-lingual internet beavers have translated a section containing loads of new Soul Calibur IV information. news Jun 25, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-161132.aspx According to the rumor mill in the August Issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly, Kratos, God of Soul, is to appear as a PS3 exclusive character in Soul Calibur IV. The magazine states that Kratos will be the next PS3 character revealed, so if the rumor is in fact true, we should be seeing something soon. Also, this will be the first look at Kratos on next gen hardware, and possibly a first glimpse at what to expect from God of War III. Obviously if Kratos appears in SCIV, Namco has cut some deal with Sony, and could be sharing actual assets or character concepts from the upcoming PS3 exclusive. news Jun 24, 2008 http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/News-159342.aspx Remember that mysterious white haired, heavily scarred individual from the Soul Calibur IV UbiDays Transcendence Trailer?
