E3: Soul Calibur IV trailer
2008-07-17 16:17:54 by BlimBlim
Soul Calibur IV hasn't really been in the spotlight during this E3, and with no trailer to be found so far we'll have to survive with these screenshots.
Update: Added 5 official videos, quality is rather bad though.

Not to sure about the new character, strange weapon choice. But I'm not complaining the more characters the better!

Not really a fan of any of these anime girls, but as long as they're just bonus characters, and totally optional, I guess it's not hurting anyone.
There's still at least one main character yet to be announced though, whether it's a completely new guy, returning one or another guest character, who knows..

How do you know that there's one more character still to be announced?

There's still one box yet to be identified :)

We can assume the one beside Vader is for Starkiller, and all of these anime guys are under the star box, so that leaves quite a possibility for the last guy to be another bonus character, perhaps even another Star Wars character..

I'd rather get this on 360 for Live and achievements, but I'll probably go with the ps3 version for the better controller.

this game doesn't do much for me, the whole series just has not evolved at all since soul calibur on dreamcast. it's kind of like how the newer tekken games do nothing for me and i stopped playing around tekken tag. also the control in SC i'm not big on.
HOWEVER ... if Kratos really is in SC4, i'm going to check it out. his character seems ideal for this game.

My money is still on another Star Wars character. Kit Fisto, or Aayla Secura, or someone along those lines. (A characer were they don't have to worry about an actual actors likeness).

Hm. Where is The Apprentice from Force Unleashed on the character select screen? Is he next to Algol on the bottom right? I'm also not seeing Angol, the "pointy" lady.
Also maybe an empty slot is for a created character?

Counterattacks like in Dead or Alive would be a nice. But those became frustrating after time. It felt like people memorized every possible combo that each character had to offer and would counter almost every punch or kick you threw. In order to stand a chance online you had to play often; you couldn't casually pick the game up and win.
Now yes, practice makes perfect and everyone knows, or should know, that. Of course practice helps, but if you pick the game up late you won't have to worry about getting destroyed online. You’ll know you stand at least somewhat of a chance.
So if they were to add a counterattack system in a future release to "evolve" it, I wouldn’t want it to be too drastic. Instead of having to press a certain button and direction for each type of kick or punch (high, med, low) like in Dead or Alive, they could group all the punch types into one button+direction combination and all the kick types into another. It would seem more balanced that way. Like Contra was getting at, balance in a fighting game is key.

Well, a few people in the US have the game already, so hopefully that will push Namco to announce this last character, assuming it's anyone special. I guess we'll find out shortly either way.
But again, it's NOT going to be Kratos, he's far too big a name to be kept hidden, they would have announced him ages ago to hype the game more, announcing him a week before release would be a little silly.

Btw. why does Maxi loose parts of his clothes during the fight? Can this also happen to female characters? x33"

Oh and another thing:
That you won't be able to see much difference so don't think you'll be seing any bare breasted ivy's waltzing around. Not that I'm that bothered. ("Cough")
