Take Your First Look at Soul Calibur V

[Yarpie]

I'm super excited about this, been hoping for this announcement for quite a while now. And as long as they keep Nightmare in the game, I will be pleased (so long as they don't remove his ability to stab someone and then cause lightning to strike them)! Oh, and I really hope they keep the character creation in some form, preferably without the statchanging clothes and only like 10 face types.

Make the breasts a reasonable size again (I.E not bigger than the character's firggin' head) and remove the "You get more nekkid as the fight goes on" mechanics and I might be interested.

Tekken 6 didn't do too bad though.

I'm all for more fighting games, but like Mortal Kombat, the Soul team has a lot to prove after Soul Calibur IV.

Did you not like SC IV then?

Personally I'm super excited for this game. I love IV although the inclusion of Star Wars characters was bizzare. They added nothing but, that said, they were easily ignored IMO.

All in all, it's the character creation I'm the most excited for. Not sure why, but I love me some customised characters!

Please just bring back chronicles of the sword. Then it will be good C:

Character customization and Astaroth are all this game really needs to get me to play it, every title in the series has had reliably solid gameplay. I expect to be playing days worth of this when my family gets a hold of it.

I think the story is utterly pointless, but, no ones asking for them to improve it, so, meh.

My favourite fighting game on the PS3 would have to be SC4, it's even better than it was on 360 (yes, I owned a 360, bought this, played it extensively, then traded for a PS3). Ok, ok, it's identical, but still, with hopefully a revamped graphics and not 'let's through this together for launch' style effort, this next game could be even better, more characters, more add ons for the characters and easier to get them, less conflicts! Should be good.

"Transcending history and the world. A tale of souls and swords eternally retold."
...
-.-

That, and the dub was pretty bad.

SCIV was amazing I put 300 plus hours into it. At first I was thinking this was a preorder, but with new gameplay I'm not so sure...

 

[Steady Drain]

Best fighting game yay!

I'm still waiting on Namco to announce a "design a destiny" contest or something, in which fans design a new character for the series. Instead we get... young male Sophitia. So... cool? It seems these games will have fans no matter what Namco does with it.

Oh shit... 17 years later?! Doesn't that mean- weeelp, Talim is going to be a very popular character all of a sudden, won't she?
