Well, this is surprisingly blunt.

Note:

Since people seem to be wondering, the team that made Soul Calibur IV was disbanded after the project and didn't get put back together until last year to make this game, so it hasn't been in development for 3+ years.

Damn.

Telling it like it is though. Looks like an SC4 mod at the state it's been shown.

BY2K · Sep 13, 2011

A lot of games suffers from that, unfortunately.

V_Ben · Sep 13, 2011

Screencap was a good idea, it'll be gone soon. Let's see if Namco responds.

storafötter · Sep 13, 2011

Thats sad to hear. Not often you hear someone in that position being so honest.

Ferrio · Sep 13, 2011

Yay for the fake timeskip game.

DonMigs85 · Sep 13, 2011

Is there anything Bamco doesn't rush nowadays?
Anyway spread that pic around, especially to fan sites and such.

AAK · Sep 13, 2011

Yikes, best of luck to him and I hope everything pulls through

Grisby · Sep 13, 2011

Need more bewbz time.

Okay, now that I've got that incredibly immature comment out of the way this is a candid response from the developer. Nice to see.

-WindYoshi- · Sep 13, 2011

I admire him for taking a stand.

Foffy · Sep 13, 2011

Makes sense...isn't Namco announcing another Tales game soon, too? I thought Xillia came out 4 days ago.

Gaz Pwnage · Sep 13, 2011

Scamco at their finest i see.

V_Ben · Sep 13, 2011

It's the "I'm nothing more than a salaryman

" that really gets me. Namco just doesn't care what he thinks, they want a Soul Calibur game out ASAP. :/

Edit: wrong thread

Gamer @ Heart · Sep 13, 2011

The patch generation!

That said, if i where management, i wouldnt want a fighting game cooking for 4 years either.

Deleted member 17706 · Sep 13, 2011

Damn, this guy is about to learn that, actually, a whole ton of people read what you write on the Internet.

Huff · Sep 13, 2011

Just what I like to hear

Dead Prince · Sep 13, 2011

need to rush the localization team for Graces F.

jett · Sep 13, 2011

Man that was one depressing tweet.

Luckydude23 · Sep 13, 2011

Scamco does it again!

I don't think this game actually started until last year.

He had been trying to take fan feedback on what they wanted the characters to play like. Apparently Namco's community involvement = getting twitter followers then calling it good.

enzo_gt · Sep 13, 2011

At least it's not Capcom.

The game kind of looks rushed already TBH.

Neuromancer · Sep 13, 2011

Poor guy.

Frankfurt · Sep 13, 2011

Well, the game was looking even more mediocre than SC3 and 4, which is saying something...

Still the most baffling drop in quality in the history of fighting games.

BlazingDarkness · Sep 13, 2011

Well this bodes well :lol

badcrumble · Sep 13, 2011

Wow, I feel terrible for the guy.

John Harker · Sep 13, 2011

Hope he doesn't lose his job for that

Pai Pai Master · Sep 13, 2011

How do they take this long to put out a sequel and still manage to rush it? They might as well have released this 2 or 3 years ago.

Scum · Sep 13, 2011

Boo-urns!

I don't think they started the project until 2010.

Wasn't in development 2-3 years ago.

Chamber · Sep 13, 2011

Always a good sign.

Kyoufu · Sep 13, 2011

Shots fired.

Odashima fired.

"God's Beard!" · Sep 13, 2011

I've been thinking that ever since they talked about the release schedule and the level of progress they're at now.

Really? What was the team working on between 09 and 10? It must have been in pre at least before last year.

DaBuddaDa · Sep 13, 2011

Keep digging your own grave, publishers.

Probably other games at Namco.

SC IV team was disbanded. There was no team.

onQ123 · Sep 13, 2011

I feel like all these fighting games are being rushed nowadays, before you can even get into one there is another one coming out so I just haven't bought any lately.

chickdigger802 · Sep 13, 2011

I'm sure the big wigs misinterpreted the atmosphere toward this game at EVO this year...

Knux-Future · Sep 13, 2011

Well he's gonna "resign" soon.

polyh3dron · Sep 13, 2011

I am shocked.

GhaleonQ · Sep 13, 2011

This sounds like normal pressure. Every time an important project in any industry comes to be in a company that lacks a substantial war chest, there's a balance between time and quality that needs to be struck.

That said, knowing Namco, I wouldn't be surprised if this is less "pressure to focus" and more "rush to flush their coffers with D.L.C. money." As a big fan, formerly a huge fan, I hope it's really good.

FINALFANTASYDOG · Sep 13, 2011

might want to put this in more context before it gets spread around:

This came in a series of tweets where he was answering questions from the fans(although he didn't respond directly to the questions, so we don't know what the question was)

The next tweet that came after this was about having to cut a feature because they weren't able to tune it correctly.

spindashing · Sep 13, 2011

Wow...

Shalashaska161 · Sep 13, 2011

So whose the new director going to be?

If it was the block at the right time, and erase block stun feature. Good.
