SCIV - Where the hell's the thread?!

Soul Calibur IV:

BUY IT.

Full-fledged character creation, seamless online, and extremely fun. I heartily recommend this. And avoid the 360 version - Vader is leagues better than Yoda, and you get the install load times.

Plus, it's the best thing I've seen in motion in 720p... I played for like 5 hours and I'm still drooling.

Plus my female Nightmare-style character Ada is not that bad looking. At all. Hubba hubba lady-pirate.

Also, I got the premium edition, and it's totally worth the $10 - you get a t-shirt, a tin AND a seperate game case, a tournament grid + free minisharpie, EXTRA character creation content, and an art book! The extra character content is worth it alone.

When ANYONE gets this on PS3, my gamertag is Dynendal.

I was about to make this actually, but I figured if there wasn't one by now then no one was interested. Glad to see I'm not the only one who loves this game. I'll add you.

My PS3 copy should be here soon. I only got it because Uber made me.

I usually hate fighting games.

last i heard. 360 will be able to have both yoda and vader. vader as a downloadable content later.

at the time they were unclear if ps3 would get this feature. altho honestly, yoda breaks the game, and shouldnt be downloaded.

i thought about getting it. but honestly. Street Fighter 4 is going going to blow it away, so why bother.

All characters are in both games. Developers are lazy. But Namco just said on Kotaku that it would never happen.

And really? I don't really know about the switch to 3D for SF4, and the change of developer. I'm quite content with SCIV; it really is the best of 3D fighters right now along with VF5.

there really is no switch to 3d for SF4, its still a 2d fighter. just 3d graphics, which really doesnt change anything. except for animations on certain moves and finishers.

3D fighters tend to bore me pretty quickly though.

Wasn't "pixel-perfect hits" a big thing for SFIII? That's the first thing my friend Lee said when he heard about IV, he was worried that 3D would make collision much more difficult on the models.

from the reactions at e3, and the interviews with capcom, they said something felt off, then they did something to it by request, and then it started to feel perfect. thing is with it being a 3d fighter in 3d, its much easier to get that 2d hitbox style than in a 3d fighter where you cant have it.

never know untill you play it of course, but from those that have i've heard nothing but good things. and the game has me a lot more interested than SC2-4 does.

plus im still pissed about them taking out my favorite feature (team battle) in SC3 =(

After playing SCIV for a good 3 hours yesterday with Dyne, I admittingly am in love.

I broke a window in my grandmother's house playing real-life Soul Calibur. I was Cervantes, and stabbed my cousin with my broom-handle-sword. Then it flew out of my hands and flew out the window.

Fun times.
