Namco-Bandai has unleashed Soulcalibur on Xbox Live Arcade, available from today for 800p. Here are some fights captured in video form and a couple of images. I never got to try the Dreamcast or Arcade version so it's hard for me to do a any kind of comparison, but the game is great - even though the game lacks online multiplayer.

Keep in mind that the video was recorded in 480i, an error in my settings. The game looks great in 720p, which the images below shows.

They took out story and mission modes? And this isn't even a hard copy of the game, just something you'll have to toss when you get a new account or harddrive. Screw it

Textures have taken a hit it seems...
HEre, look at the armor, particularly the shoulders protections:

and here on DC

I still have my DC connected up to my TV and have a hard copy of this. I don't see the need to buy this.

There was no story mode. You get the endings for finishing the game in Arcade, and they're still there. The ONLY thing that was removed, is mission mode.

The new one looks a lot more detailed to me. Ofcourse, regardless, its the gameplay itself that made soulcalibur great and I know ill be picking this up regardless.
