It's nothing like that, it's like Ninja Gaiden,

 

I can't see why there is no so much hatred for this game, I think it looks great.

 

wow the graphics look really good

 

Defo, for me it looks like an actual top effort is being made by Namco on this one.

 

I played SC2 mostly with link, he was the easiest and the best character for me to use...

 

Nightmare all the way!

LOL

 

I Didn't play with Link, but all my friends say that he was a shitty character :X

 

Every one of my friends that have a PS2 say Link sucks.

Do you know why? It's called envy.

I'll assume your friends played the PS2 version.:heh:

 

Damn, the game is looking good. But i'm also worried with the repetitiveness.

Ok, so I haven't been following this game for a while. And when I check the news, who do I see?

 

Lloyd friggin' Irving? In the Soul Calibur universe?

 

:bowdown:

 

Besides that awesomeness personified, the game is not looking bad. And who knows how many other fighting styles and cameos there might be?

It looks promising, that's for sure. Maybe if it works well, we might see a Ninja Gaiden game on the Wii...

 

 

By the way, Link wasn't very good in SC2. Very predictable and slow attacks. (Although the grabs and animations were great)

Heihachi was quick and powerful, but felt like he didn't belong there.

 

This is coming from someone who much prefered the Gamecube version to the PS2 version.

Okay fair enough if you like this game, but this is not a top effort by Namco, this seems like a lazy effort.

 

All of the character models are just copypasta from SCIII, the lighting effects are poor (there aren't even any shadows!), the textures are horrible and grainy and the environments look un-inspired.

 

This game looks worse than SCII on the GC, and no you can't use the excuse; 'That's because there's more going on on-screen', because as Hellfire so helpfully proved in the other thread that the Wii is a lot more powerful than the GC.

 

And in all fairness just because you can draw some parallels between this and Ninja Gaiden doesn't mean the two are comparable, this game looks like a hack-n-slash fest while Ninja Gaiden is an in-depth combat-action game, Ninja Gaiden is comparable to Devil May Cry and I'm sure you'd agree that this game is definitely not comparable to DMC.

This game shouldn't ship without detailed shadows, and that's the very least.

 

I'm still interested in it, but they sure developed the game as if they were doing it for PS2, geometry is not really detailed, stuff like columns could use more polygons (and should, as this is no PS2) and there's not many particle effects going in there, even stuff like depth of field is absent, every object seems to be at the same point, bar the perspective.

 

Sure, it runs at 60 frames, but so does Metroid Prime 3, and reportedly Mario Galaxy.

While that's a perfectly valid argument from a technical point of view, but you don't want to accept it, because everything I say must be wrong and biased, I can't say the game looks very good graphically. The gameplay seems in order though, so I'm interested.

And it's like Ninja Gaiden in the sense that it's an action game, not a party game.

Huh? Wha?...

 

Edit: I was saying 'you' in general, I wasn't specifically speaking to you or anything.

I cant help but feel unimpressed by this game, which is a real shame. It has a lot of potential, but i dont see it. The graphics look a bit bland, though apparently run very smoothly. But what makes this a real disappointment is the gameplay. It looks so.. shallow and repetitive. There's no soul (pun intended) in this game.

 

I'll reserve judgement till the first reviews show up. It's definitely not a day one purchase, if at all. There are far more interesting games for me that deserve my hard earned cash.

 

Hopefully potentially bad sales of this game wont hurt our chances on a proper Soul Calibur title...
