Despite what was claimed a few weeks back Namco is working on versions of Soul Calibur III for the next Xbox console and also the Nintendo Revolution. A Namco representative stated the following; “Namco is definitely planning to develop the Soul Calibur series on the next-generation platforms. However, when we started development for SCIII, the specs for the next-generation platforms were not set, and there were no dev kits, which ultimately lead (sic) us to development on the PS2.
“Essentially, Namco wanted to create a game with even more content than in Soul Calibur II, so we made the choice to focus on a single platform. And when we thought about choosing a single platform, we wanted it to be on the platform that has the greatest penetration in the current marketplace, that being PS2. Namco is very excited about bringing SCIII to the PS2 and the team has worked very hard on maximizing the graphics for SCIII, which [we] think will please franchise fans."
So it seems that Nintendo fans will be able to play Soul Calibur III after all, but when it is not known.
So its like good/bad news per se 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
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
