Good news for fighting fans, Soul Calibur IV has been officially unveiled for the Xbox 360.The trailer reveals, well, basically nothing. We see some character models, though they could easily be pre-rendered. What's more, they don't even move. Finally, we are treated with a logo and "2008." The text in the trailer also implies that Soul Calibur IV will be the last title in the series. Honestly, there isn't much to learn from the trailer. Let's hope next month's EGM -- whose contents will no doubt spill all over the internets ahead of time -- gives us something we can really sink our teeth into (this is where most blogs will make tasteless Ivy jokes).
Online play would make this an instant purchase for me.
Well, the fact that it's getting released on the 360 will make it an instant purchase for me. I feared this would go the route of number 3 and stay playstation exclusive. Great news.
This is most likely a purchase game online or not. I would like to point out though that we all have ceen Namco whore out Soul Caliber in the past and then play sides again by only releasing SC3 on ps2. Now Namco, Give us Tekken, for the first time in console history make Tekken for a system other than a sony product. Alittle off topic but, can every1 email and bother both Sega and Microsoft to release The Fist Of The North Star Arcade on the 360 state side please.
I cant speak for SC3, but I wasnt a huge fan of SC2. I loved SC for dreamcast but some how the second one didnt do it for me. I think they need to change things up a bit, add some more animation to the story telling, better menu animations, maybe create a character.
@11 There is a creat a character mode in SC3 man. I never played 3 but do know that feture is in the game. As for the series...... I had Sc on Dreamcast and loved it. When it came out on the three consoles I was unimpressed at first do 2 the lack of graffical upgrade but found the game to be as enjoyable as the first. Namco needs to stop riding Sony's lil dick and stop developing games based on PS hardware and we will start getting better looking games.
Namco can blow me. They abandoned us to do the PS2 exclusive deal, but they want to come crawling back to the Xbox platform now that the 360 has built critical mass with the better gaming library of this generation. Too late, I'm a DOA loyalist now. Suck it, you f'n front-runners.

Yay! I can't wait.... Between VF5, SF2HD and this, I'm starting to feel quite a bit better about paying through the teeth for the doa arcade stick.
I'm so glad the 360's getting all this fighting game love... The xbox felt like a wasteland by comparison.

From the image, I thought it was Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 or something.
