SefirothDB Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yes, we know what you're thinking. You're thinking "What the hell are Darth Vader and Yoda doing in my Soul Calibur sequel?" But how are these two any less logical (or illogical) than Link or Spawn (we'll let Heihachi slide since he's in Tekken)? You're probably also wondering "Where the damn is Luke Skywalker, Darth Maul and Boba Fett?" Well, Boba Fett doesn't really use melee weapons, unless you count that stick on his back that he never uses. But Luke and Darth maul make a lot of sense. While we can't answer all of these questions just now, we suspect that Namco Bandai still has plenty of stuff up their sleeve. Given their recent Ace Combat 6 shenanigans, we wouldn't be surprised to learn that additional Star Wars characters are paid-for downloadable content. It's unlikely that the company would go through all these negotiations with LucasArts to obtain the rights to only two characters, so expect more announcements as we get closer to SCIV's release date. Ahaha oh wow. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pheonix Gamma Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Blow that out your ass. This is a rather strange cameo, though. Neat, but strange. Sadly, I know those lightsabers won't chop my opponents in half. Stupid balanced gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SefirothDB Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Trailer Up. I think Vader -> PS3 and Yoda -> 360 but don't quote me on this. If so, expect microrapements (DLC) to get the other character. EDIT: Confirmed Namco Bandai today announced it would be partnering with LucasArts to add Darth Vader to the PlayStation 3 version's roster, with Yoda joining up with the Xbox 360 crew. Screenshots released with the announcement reveal the two will both wield their respective red and green lightsabers, though no other details on how the two characters will play were given.

Kain Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I'd rather have Yoda than Darth Vader, so I'm glad about the split, but I hate it when they add super-human people to a hyper-human setting and then have to tone down their everything to fit in. But Yoda's size could make him quite interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 the Wii Soul Calibur bullshit-spinoff got Llyod as a secret character. Sadly, Wii wont be getting this game for obvious reasons. (which goes back to my debate topic.) And Kain, have you SEEN nightmare? I dont know anything more superhuman than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 While I do admit graphics are sextastical in this game, it doesn't make it. I want solid gameplay damnit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Disagreed. It will add to the presentation about 100%. Which, in turn, makes gameplay way awesomer. If it looked like Soul Calibur 2 (although a beautiful game), they would be able to do much less with the character/stage designs than they could now. They arent going to subsitute gameplay for the graphics. Espically not the same team that did Soul Calibur 2 and 3. I dont know why people keep blowing off graphics as just a simple "enhancement". When nintendo makes a nice looking game everyone gasms over it, but when someone else does they blow it off like its no accomplishment, and point to how Super Mario Bros 3 was a great game with horrible graphics. Well, it wasnt. It had damn fucking great graphics atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowgoten Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Like i said in the debate topic...the only game I've ever played where the graphics actually enhanced the experience to the point where it made a huge difference was Gears of War. Where I was able to take in the beauty of it all. This is a fast paced fighting game, graphics mean nothing, they can make 2d sprites of them fighting in a 3d arena and still make it a badass game as long as the gameplay was solid.
