LegoMan1031 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 hmm, i'm starting to get interested in this game now (never played sc3 but played the first 2). Don't like how different versions have a different exclusive character! I would like to play as both! Although if the PS3 has bad slowdown as mentioned on IGN it will be a 360 purchase for me then... Is there an estimated release date for this yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babooo Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thought I'd just add to the general consensus and say that I am starting to look forward to this too. Played SC2&3 and liked it alot...this is looking good as well! Definite purchase for me. I need a good beat em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Will this game benefit from a hori stick? Thinking of getting this one for streetfighter 4 anyway... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hori-Arcade-Fighting-Stick-PS3/dp/B000MWE3BI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1212927876&sr=1-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bard Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Go for it dude, the arcade stick I got for my 360 a year ago was 80quid. What you've got there is a bargain. I'm thinking of getting another stick aswell, but I'm probably gonna wait for SF4 to come out, as HORI will probably release an exclusive octagonal gate one for it (the one I have right now is only 4 way, which makes quarter motions a bit more difficult).

Guest Jordan Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Even you Bard have to admit, Soul Calibur can be played with a regular controller. I mean, it being a 3D beat 'em up means an analouge works quite well, in comparison to say Street Fighter IV which will play ... not so well.

Yeah, totally, I mean, SC2 is still one of the only fighters I've ever played that works quite well with an analogue stick of all things. A regular controller shouldn't handicap you like it does in VF or SF, but I still prefer the added utility of an arcade stick, so that's how I'll be playing.

flameboy Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Yeah I am going to pick up a stick for SF4 anyway so fingered may pick it up for this. watched last weeks 1up Show... only had 4 playable characters but still makes me look forward to it so much.

PAL 360 I'd say JAP PS3 is the best...I hate box arts where nothing is happening and its just a series of other pictures stuck together...I want a fight scene or some great art work...not just 3 character pictures, a sword and a logo slapped on a cover... The 360 covers just look plain odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I'd agree but there is a bit too much Vader in the Japanese one, but you're right, action looks better than floating heads. ...Are their swords absurdly huge?? Looks a bit weird imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not buying this because of box art you'll not really look at and 3 Star Wars characters you don't have to play as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathjam Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 boxart is truly shite. Oh well, I'll just ignore it once I have a copy. If it's as good as the first or second games, then you wont see much of the box and it wont leave your machine for quite awhile. The 3rd lacked something despite all they put into it.
