LegoMan1031 Posted June 8, 2008 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?
Babooo Posted June 8, 2008 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.
flameboy Posted June 8, 2008 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
The Bard Posted June 8, 2008 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 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.

Can't remember, but I think I still played SC with the Dpad.

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 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.
Daft Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 From best to worst imo: 1. PAL PS3 2. JAP PS3 3. JAP 360 4. PAL 360
Roostophe Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Fuck off, I don't want fucking Yoda on my SCIV cover! Fuck, I don't even want Yoda in SCIV any-bloody-way!
flameboy Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Boxarts From best to worst imo: 1. PAL PS3 2. JAP PS3 3. JAP 360 4. 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...
Daft Posted June 11, 2008 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.
flameboy Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Yeah I did think Vader's lightsaber looked stupidly long...
Daft Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Now there's another Star Wars character? Bit late to the table my friend! New stupidly out of place character revealed.http://www.jeuxvideo.fr/apprenti-dark-vador-soulcalibur-actu-142860.html Darth Vader apprentice from "The Force Unleashed"... :shakehead
Babooo Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Those box arts are poor. Really poor. All of them. Poor.
flameboy Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 Hopefully someone will make a great custom one to put on instead!
That Guy Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 That's embarrassing. Proof at last that Star Wars is evil. I'm not buying this.
Daft Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 That's embarrassing. Proof at last that Star Wars is evil. I'm not buying this. 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?
Dan_Dare Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 boxart is truly shite. Oh well, I'll just ignore it once I have a copy.
Deathjam Posted June 17, 2008 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.
