Soul Calibur II

GameFront is reporting that Namco announced today their multi-platform fighting game, Soul Calibur 2, will see a delay to an indefinite date sometime in 2003.

Similarly, a new Ridge Racer game, which has been hinted at but not officially announced, will be due out in 2003.

Soul Calibur 2 was expected to hit the Playstation 2, Xbox, and GameCube in January 2003 in Japan. Since the original announcement, however, very little information has been revealed regarding the console ports. During the Electronics Entertainment Expo this past May, Sony boasted that they had tied up temporary exclusive rights to the port, but it turned out to be untrue. There's a lot of mystery surrounding SC2 for consoles, and it seems as if the plot is thickening.

Regardless, when it does hit, gamers should expect a perfect port of the System 246 arcade game with the extras that Namco home conversions are known for. We'll have more as we learn it.

fuck, that's really annoying. im getting tired of waiting for this, especially since Soul Calibur has been the fighting game that i've been playing most lately. well, that and Project Justice, but still, i want SCII already!

sucks.

I haven't even played it yet. We were supposed to get it at Tilt, but it never happened.

Speaking of Tilt...

[off topic]Korly. Call me at Tilt tonight.[/off topic]

Double sucks :(

Hey, why not suck all the life out of Tekken sales, right?

I was kinda dissapointed with the arcade version.

I look foward to seeing what extras Namco can put in the home rev though...

Hmm...that's obnoxious. Ever since conquest mode was released in the arcade, I'm back to my every-other-day regiment of SC2. I think my Nightmare is a Platinum Knight of the something-or-other, while my Misturugi is just an Gold Peasant...heh. Anyone else like conquest mode? I like how my A.I. character just racks up wins for my record beating on newbs...

Conquest mode?

I haven't played it since the first week or so it was out...

Xbox version to have 4-player tag battles ala DoA2/3, and full Xbox Live support!

I can dream!

Noooooooooooooo!

That really sucks. Unless something big's being added, I wonder what's the cause for delay.
