Wow at the negative reactions. The first answers in here were by Nintendo fans miffed about not getting SC4 on Wii and Sony fans trolling (I can't explain the negativity otherwise, because this scan definitely does not warrant it). I think it looks decent (what little you can tell from the scan anyway).
I love Soul Calibur 1/2 and its characters. I don't like Ninja Gaiden but I like God of War but I don't like Devil May Cry but I like Otogi. :lol
So I need to play this because I have no ****ing clue if I'm going to like this.

Actually, the first answer was from me, and I would've looked at SC4 wherever it ended up, though I'm glad it went to what I believe is the best place for the game. Hardcore fighting games and the Wii are not meant to be good friends, I'm afraid. I just feel that coming on the direct heels of the announcement, scans of the spinoff are cold comfort to Wii fans.Haunted One said:
Anyway, based on Namco's stellar reputation for action/adventure titles, I'm sure we're all just over-reacting.
I see no reason to hate based on these screens.
It looks non-offensive and fairly clean... Nothing much can be said about it at this stage. I like the concept of a SC adventure game and I don't see anything here that would dash my hopes or increase them. It's not beautiful but it's certainly not ugly and it does appear that they are going for a NG/DMC style game, which is what I wanted.

The real hope for this game visually will be in the animation. The fighting series has tremendous animations and if there is any crossover between the main team and this team, there is a good chance this will as well.
That's the most important visual element for action games like this IMO.

im amazed at how anihawk can obviously troll a thread and get a bunch of people to agree with him.
anyway, the graphics look ok, not that i care. other than that, i cant assume anything about this game, so i will wait for more infos.

At last, you've found the source of people's negativity on this game!Hydro_Alexis said:
Heh, it seems more like angry Wii fans that want Soul Calibur IV along with Legends on Wii rather than people demanding Legends on other platforms. Greedy bastards.Hydro_Alexis said:
What I want to know is...
Is it possible to release an actual Wii game that requires the usage of a different controller? Soul Calibur, for instance, would not play well with the Wii-mote. In fact, it would be downright horrible. The classic controller or GC pad would be superior in this case. Could a developer specify one of these pads as a requirement ala Virtual Console games?
I think it's just going through the relevant game history. Takes place between Soul Edge/Blade and Soul Calibur, hence why they're shown.Jirotrom said:
Throwing in the System 11/12 versions might be a nice bonus though (a la the System 11/12 versions of Tekken 1-3 thrown on Tekken 5 PS2).

It looks like Ninja Gaiden with GCN textures. Not bad...

Im pretty sure they can...i mean Wii games specify the control type on the back of the box - i don't think people will feel TOO burned to have to buy the CC for fighting games.

Why? All it needs is a stick and four buttons, which is easily replicated with the remote and nunchuk.

Thats because of art direction. The textures still aren't in a league of their own.
Hopefully this will be a case of ninja Gaiden, or Shaolin Monks(Great game
), and not some shit like Death by Degrees.Raging Spaniard

Looks good for PRE-ALPHA GRAPHICS (hey if that excuse works for Halo, why not for this game)
And yes, OF COURSE SC2 looked better. Fighting games have better graphics than adventure games for very simple reasons. You can put a whole lot more detail into two characters and one environment on screen (fighting game) than one character, one HUGE environment and dozens of enemies (adventure, action games)

What? The pic in the bottom right is Soul Calibur 2, isn't it? And it definately didn't look better than this. Maybe on par but certainly not better...It's just that the main character's models will usually be a lot better than those of random enemies and so far we've only seen Taki's (and Seigfried's) which looks no worse than she did in SC2 or SC3

People really need to stop defending this game. Its a spinoff to a once great franchise being made by a Namco B team and it doesnt even look as good as its predecessor released 4 years ago.

Well, I guess it *could* be the Spawn: Armageddon team. Or the Dead to Rights 2 team. At least we know it's not Monolith.

Yea.
We'll see. Don't quite understand all the hubbub in this topic.
Are we actually sure it's the Death by Degrees team? Honestly, stop the whining. Give the project a chance. I'm already very satisfied with the way it looks, both graphics-wise (at least it looks like a decent GameCube game) as gameplay-wise (I was expecting first-person view like DQS or that slashing game).
Of course, sucks that we're not getting SCIV. Understandable from a developping perspective, not from an economical perspective.
