- Soul Calibur IV will run 60 frames per second(this was revealed previously).
- The amount of detail in the game will be amazing! “The leather straps on Ivy’s thighs make real-time indentations into her skin as she fights.”
- The development team is putting so much detail into the game that they are actually rendering Taki’s nipples under her leotard.
- New characters will be kept under wraps and revealed closer towards the release date.
- “Guard Impact” is back.
- Stage design is still very early in development. Make sure to take note of these screens as the game progresses.
- The stages will be far more interactive and play a bigger role in battle. They use Zasalamel’s clock tower stage as an example.
- The development team is hoping to reduce the rate of ring out victories by making stages much larger than before.
- The game will be based on the Soul Calibur III engine and will be reworked from the ground up for balance reasons.
- Patching the game is possible if any issues come up with gameplay, but “we don’t intend to make a game that needs to be patched at a later date.”
- The health gauge is going to be changed. There will be a way to beat your opponent that doesn’t involve the health gauge or ring outs.
- No tag-team play.
- In regards to Soul Calibur on the PSP: “We’re happy to hear that players would like to see Soul Calibur on the PSP, so we’ll keep that in mind.”
- The “Create A Soul” mode is getting major improvements, such as being able to change your characters voice and certain customizations that will have an effect on gameplay.
- Online custom character trading is a possibility, as well as bringing your custom character to a friend’s house.
:wtf: :wtf: :wtf: at the examples they used for the detail of the characters. Are they trying to make a creepier fighter than something like Dead or Alive or Arcana Heart? Does this mean the game will get rated AO from the ESRB because the naughty bits are physically rendered under the clothing and could be removed via a hack?
:lol: at the no balance changes comment. Every Soul Calibur game has had multiple revisions, why would this be any different.
Online play seems to finally be a priority, welcome to the 21st century Namco (plz to be dragging AM2 into it with you).
...They would?Quote:

And :tu: with the online play. I assumed that the new Soul Calibur would have it since Tekken DR now does. Glad to see that wasnt a baseless assumption.

As any fighting game fan knows, every 2 player fighting game in the history of man(sans Karate Champ) is imbalanced in one way or another(hence tiers). Namco is also dubiously known for making small updates to their titles(Tekken5, Tekken5.1, Tekken DR), so I can't see this statement as anything other than hyperbole and fluff for the uninitiated(re: mainstream gamers).
However, I insanely respect the fact that they are trying to make a game with no discernable exploits...but with the fighting game community so tight knit(even across continents and language barriers), exploits/bugs/etc are just a forgone conclusion. The real question isnt' whether or not it'll need a patch, but "how long will it take for someone to break the game so bad that Namco is FORCED to release a patch"
They're touting the 60fps refresh rate like it's some great accomplishment. Anything less than 60fps is inexcusable to begin with. They may as well be hyping the fact that it'll be fullscreen and in color.
Never understood how they didn't get slapped with at least a mature for Taki's outfit, especially with the way the rotating win cam loves to focus in on her practically bare ass. Though looks and online play are all that matters in a fighter these days, so I'm sure this will be a big seller.Quote:

The old SC games were pretty blatant about Taki's popcorn, at least in the CG cinemas.
The only way they could have been more blantant if there was a huge sign and arrow saying 'Nipples, LOL.'Quote:
