Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

First seen here http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7552

and on IGN http://ps2.ign.com/articles/598/598424p1.html

Disappointing news to GC/Xbox owners. Kind of weird they would exclusive it on PS2 considering the 'Cube version sold more. But oh well. I probably wont be missing much with SC3

dood says he wants an unpresidented amount of content in SC3, wants players to be FULLY satisfied with this one game.

They're putting in a FULL create character mode !!! yes! that was 1 of the 2 big things i was waiting for, being able to make up your own characters is going to be sweet.

the other big thing im still waiting and crossing my fingers on, Online play. they had said after SC2 that they wanted thier next one to have online play.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Sounds great from that read but unless it hits a Ninty console, I dont have as much interest. Granted, its gonna sell but I just didnt see why Namco had to exclusive the game when its a 'series' that did VERY well on all 3 consoles. But I'm not in the business so I dunno :p

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Its called money.


Sony probably paid them heaps and heaps of money, to make it exclusive.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I wonder how much of that had to do with Link...

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

O_o

Exclusive....... Man that sucks.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

If twas on cube...just imagine double katana wielding Ganondorf....*sigh*

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I say 90% of it had to do with Link ;)

And thanks for the obvious Typh :rolleyes: :p

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

prolly just woulda been link again.

but no worries. i shall make a link with my create player mode =)

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Anytime.



If I was still into playing games, I would probably pick this up, just becuse of the create a character part.


But you have to think, it can only be so extensive. You probably can't create what you want to create. And you have to assign combos and moves to every button and things like that, after a while, don't you think it might get a little tedious?

Thats just me though.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

all depends on how they go about it, some of the wrestling game create a character were absolutly amazing how much you could do. almost endless. the fight night series has an amazing face creation when creating characters but not so much selection elsewhere.

its quite possible they could do an amazing job with it. however anythings better then using the same characters over and over, always wondered why fighters never had create character modes in em.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I'll throw down some Soul Calibur III.

Oh btw, at SCII, Typhoid is a whore with Raphael. 17 straight wins. Good times.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I own Mitsurugi....

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

my friend used to whore raphael, then i became wonderful at defending against him because of it. :) infact its become so easy to stop raphael that none of us ever play him anymore.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I love fighting Ivy.... :)

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

All about Talim, I kick Kyuzo's ass with her all the time...

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Yes with that ever so present Combo that's just so darn easy to do..... infact... not only easy to do, but easy to do a lot.....

I kicked your butt as soon as I went to Maxi....

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

pfft. real men use the random character button anyway. :p

we always used to do the 8 vs 8 all randomly chosen.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Well I wouldn't say I use the Random character button, but I am a master of
In order of greatness:
Nightmare
Mitsurugi
Kilik
Maxi
Yunsung
and coming SCIII
Hwang (my secret weapon)

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

You might as well use Charade...

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

If you use Random you know which character you'll be before battle. Charade shifts between rounds.

And I agree with Null... Dark Samurai :beerchug:

Alternating between Talim and Link highly seems brave enough for the scours of Soul Calibur fighters.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I don't remeber where I read this but I heard that Dante will be the exclusive character. You may be wondering how they can do this, on account of how he is Capcom's property, but Capcom went to Namco and borrowed the SCII engine for a boss battle and in return they requested that they could use Dante for SCIII. I'll try and find the link. It might all be just specualtion though.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

New interview confirms no Online Play :(

http://ps2.ign.com/articles/599/599333p1.html

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Jonbo actually means ":D", I recognize the same false sympathy that I often use. :)

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

*scratches head*

no online play because "the online aspect would be unplayable for many gamers"








:hmm: YOU MADE IT FOR PS2 ONLY!!! THATS CUTTING OFF A LOT OF GAMERS TOO!

ah well. prolly wasnt going to get it anyway. :sneaky:

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Dante would be sick on SCIII

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

Another more promising update

http://www.cube-europe.com/news.php?nid=7600

So its like good/bad news per se :p Good because it clarifies the reason for doing so (although a straight port wouldnt have hurt?). But at least for next-gen consoles it hopefully takes advantage of all 3 consoles in one way or another

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

yes, its at least good that they're brining it to them. but i just dont understand sometimes. an online mode for ps2 or xbox live is not a hard think to impliment. wouldnt take much time. and would make many many happy. and all they can say for why they're not doing it is not everyone will be able to play online? who cares. many of us could... bah i say. bah.

Re: Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive
 

I used to play against the 3rd best player in the country on SC II. I obviously sucked it up. He was a b**** with Nightmare.

I like Talim.

And, as long as it comes out on the console I want, I will be happy.
