Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive

Jonbo298 · 03-25-2005, 07:20 PM

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.

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

Its called money.

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

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.

I'll throw down some Soul Calibur III.

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

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.
