The E3 trailer for Soul Calibur IV, which we must have missed during all the hubbub, has finally landed on Xbox Live Marketplace. The trailer features the first gameplay footage of the game, and so far things are looking pretty damned good. In particular, we're really digging one of the new female fighters. Wielding a sword and halberd simultaneously, and sporting a full suit of armor, she's intriguing to say the least. Everything else looks like good old-fashioned Soul Calibur fun, only a lot prettier. All of this coupled with the introduction of online play has us fairly excited to get a crack at the full game. Now if we can just get a demo to tide us over until the game's release in 2008, we'll be set. Get to it Namco.
Wow, talk about mixed emotions... I can't wait, this footage doesn't make the wait any easier. But I really really hope Namco is lying when they say this is the last one... I really REALLY hope what they mean is it's the last one this console generation >_< C'mon Namco, you like money, right?
Definitely way too much bloom. I second whoever said that. Never been a fan of that effect.
Also - can we get a reworked d-pad on the 360 controller yet? That thing is impossible to use. I hate it, but I love Soul Calibur, so I'll be forced to use the thing. Fix it please!

Sounds interesting but I'm feeling a bit "meh" about it all...
Just give me Dead or Alive 5 and a new Street Fighter and I'd be the happiest person on the planet.

Last one? No. Last Soul "Calibur"? yes.

Next game: Soul ___?____
The Calibur saga may be ending, but not the Soul series.

Arrrr soul?
Seriously though I love the Soul Calibur series so this will be sitting in my games collection some day. And 2008 is only 4 months away!
