Soul Calibur redeveloped for other next-gen platforms

While it's pretty obvious MANY of us got this game on the DC, there are still many that did not. It would be cool if it was redeveloped for the other platforms. Tweak the gameplay, throw in some new features perhaps...though I will admit, the DC edition would be pretty difficult to top. Dare I say, pure perfection compared to its arcade predecessor.

It's feasible, but I doubt it would sell very well. Most people will instantly think the sequel is better when buying games, so even if there's a "Soul Calibur: Master Edition" to pop up it wouldn't fare well. At least, not at full price. Maybe if it retailed for $20-30 or something like that.

As for gameplay tweaks, I don't like how the movement feels in the first place. Would changing the way the game flows count as a "tweak?"

Yep. Capcom did it all the time with the original SF2 series.

I hardly played SC2 in the arcade because it felt so similiar to SC1. Are they really that different?

If there's an upgraded version of Soul Calibur, it should be included as a bonus game with Soul Calibur II. I wouldn't buy it again since I own the DC one, and there are many who'd say "Forget it... we've got SC II".

I agree with gameoverdude, the only way that I'd dig a redone version of SC is if it was included for free in SC 2. While they're at it, they should throw Soul Edge in there as well, with some redone graphics.

I'd buy it again.

Hell, release the updated version in the arcades, too.

I don't see why not; various versions of SF2 have seen countless rereleases on modern consoles.

What exactly is wrong with SC2?

The problem here is not the lack of a SC remake, it's the proliferation of remakes of other games.
