Namco has released a new bunch of images and artworks from Soul Calibur IV, to be released this summer on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The characters presented this week are Kilik, Lizardman & Xianghua.
Some of the best characters yet on this generation... There's too much developers that have problems with doing natural looking humans. But looks great here :)
What the fuck is wrong with Namco? Do they like including characters who are TOTALLY out of place in their fighting games? Link, Darth Vader, Yoda, Spawn, Gon, that Tree from Tekken, the boxing Kangaroo....Its ridiculous!

It's just a bonus, if you don't like them just don't play with them and that's it ;)

But it fucks up the character list dont you agree? I mean you have this great list of original characters like Mitsurugi, Astoroth, Voldo and then you got....Lizardman...

Lizardman is a classic Soulcalibur character, why wouldn't he be in here? Is he really any more odd than an ancient samurai, a giant axe weilding mutant or an Itailian contortionist? The series isn't really about realisim. They're fun characters, that's all that matters.

Lizardman used to be a silly rip off of Sophi.. but he really started to come into his own in SC3. I'm sure he's even more individualized in this game and that's fine by me.
what i still dont get is how the chick in the fir$t photos blocks the same way every single attack kilik dishes at her...i thought this would have been fixed in this generation of videogames
like it doesn't matter what u throw at the characters, they have one blocking stance that can block everything lol
i think devs need to start looking at stuff like this if they want to stand out from the rest
overall the game looks the same as the previous encarnations and therefor i ain't picking this up right away :(
Kilik's hand in second picture looks like mine when I've had too much coffee for one day.
And Maxi looks like a damn junkie.
Well, that's about all critisism I have, besides the breasts in this game.
I don't mind Ivy's rack, but Takis breasts are ALL OVER THE DAMN PLACE when she does fast animations.
Looks great. Anyway, I hope Namco Bandai adds more console specific characters that actually make a lot more sense than Yoda=Green=360, Vader=Black=PS3. I'm hoping for a Kratos and Master Chief addition. I'd think the guys at Sony Santa Monica wouldn't mind and I would think that Bungie wouldn't mind (they did include a Spartan in DOA4).
