Soul Calibur 3 PS2 Exclusive

[Dark Samurai]

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

[MuGen]

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....

[Null]

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

[MuGen]

You might as well use Charade...

[MuGen]

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

And I agree with Null... Dark Samurai

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

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.

New interview confirms no Online Play

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

[Null]

*scratches head*

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








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

ah well. prolly wasnt going to get it anyway.

[MuGen]

Dante would be sick on SCIII

Another more promising update

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

[Null]

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.

[Blackmane]

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.
