Hot damn this is looking incredible! Soul Calibur IV is one of, if not my favourite game on the 360, so Im tempted to get a PSP for this.
The graphics are amazing, and the lack of any Star Wars characters is a massive plus. Ill definitely be keeping an eye on this one.

So this comes out tomorrow in Japan. Any J-Gaffers planning on picking it up? I'd love to hear some impressions.

Did anyone get a text message from GameStop this was arriving tomorrow? I did, but wasn't sure if anyone else got the same message/call. Their website still says shipping 9/1.
some combo videos are up in HK

obvious changes from SC4:
1.) Damage is buffed
2.) Step speed and range is buffed

Best SC EVAR?hteng said:
Just picked it up; glad I decided to opt out of the temptation of importing (got some other stuff today and it would have been in the same package) since they ended up bumping up the U.S. release date!
Some brief observations. I am playing this on my old PSP phat, since the game uses OFW 5.55 and will not run on modified PSPs.
-The main menu is as follows:
--------------------------
Quick Match: This is kind of like Ghost Battle in Tekken 5 DR, and set up to look like playing an online match in the console SC4. You can choose from eight different opponents to play against after every battle, each with his/her own win/loss record. These CPU players will also use custom characters.
The Gauntlet: Filled with challenges (and brief story snippets) to clear.
Trials: Contains three trials: Attack, Defense, and Endless.
Versus: Ad-Hoc battle. Titles you get in quick match will carry over to this mode.
Creation: Character creation mode.
Training: Training mode.
Records: Lets you view the game's various play data.
Options: Various options, including Japanese or English voice selection.
--------------------------
-The game has a data install option. This takes up a little less than 260MB on the memory stick and virtually eliminates all load times!
-The game uses an honor system like the console SC4 versions, so there are a total of 50 "achievements" you can earn.
-Records has a "Friends List" option. Not sure if that means you can get someone's play data and use it as a ghost character or not.
-All of the original SC4 characters return and are unlocked from the start. The Star Wars characters and stages are gone, replaced by Kratos from God Of War, and a new original character, Dampierre. Both characters have their own stages.
-Creation mode is limited to 16 data slots total.
-There are more parts available in creation mode. A number of original character's 1P outfit parts are now selectable, new parts have been added, and new hair styles have been added. You can also set a custom character's character portrait by having them pose for you, and then taking a photo.
-You can't edit body types for custom characters.
-You now cannot edit original characters' parts for their 2P outfits, only change their colors.
-The game looks fantastic and is locked at 60fps. It's very impressive.
-The game play feels a little slower to me, not faster as I'd heard.

Does the US version require 5.55 fw as well?

This game is coming out on PSN too right? I imagine it is because they were showing it on PSP Go at E3.

I bet it will be PSP Go launch, seeing as how Motorstorm PSP isn't hitting PSN until the launch.RedSwirl said:

SC2 has better textures easily but this psp version looks great for the hardware it is running on, this is 60fps too right?hatchx said:
Just a quick confirmation that 5.50 Gen-B will definitely NOT run this game, either directly from the UMD or after ripping the ISO. No surprise there, but until this is defeated, we can expect the next batch of new games (including Persona) not to run either.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
What about editing the version.txt? That allowed FFVII to be played.
Version.txt trick was defeated for PSN access some time ago, and more recently for games as well. Class of Heroes (5.03) and FFVII PSN (5.50) were the last games that I personally purchased that would not run natively on 5.00 M33-6 but WOULD run via the version.txt spoof trick.

I'm a bit disappointed that we get all these new Create a Soul features but they take out others like body types and main character customization.
And only 16 slots? :/

Guess I'll be waiting on this until a CFW fix gets made.
Extremely disappointing - I probably would have picked up Motorstorm this holiday too, but unless a fix gets released by the community I will just have to avoid them if they're being so stubborn about custom firmware. I won't give up CPS2, SNES, NES, Genesis just to play the 3 worthwhile games Sony puts out on the platform per year.

2 questions -SonOfABeep said:
1)Looking at the downloads SC:BD already has.. can you really BLAME them for being bullish on CFW?
2) and If this game doesnt work on CFW why exactly are all those people downloading it? Scary...

Well, I buy my PSP games, but Dissidia is the last one I've bought since Crisis Core. That's sad.
There's just not enough must have software on the platform where if I had to choose homebrew or official games I would ever choose official games.

Point is you can't blame developers for trying to make it so that their games do not run on CFW machines.
Master Thespian said:
I live in Atlanta. The EB I went to had a bunch of copies available.
The Abominable Snowman said:
Like Mejilan said, it's only a matter of time before 5.55 is cracked and pirates can hoist up the jolley roger once again. That, and a lot of people don't even bother checking and just download everything regardless.
AranhaHunter said:
Absolutely. I never get all up in arms if the hacked custom firmware I am making use of is "defeated." You either wait or you switch back to the original firmware. I just happened to also still have an older 1000 series model lying around unused, and finally removed its several years old, outdated custom firmware (this was more of a task than I thought it would be!) and installed OFW 5.55 for everything that isn't supported.

Me too. They were out today. I like the system changes.. a lot. Step speed and range are definitely better. The CF meter goes up and down quite a bit faster than it used to. They really need to release DamnPimp and patch the game for the console.
PS: Kratos is the first guest character that doesn't feel out of place (if the game is patched to the consoles and he only comes to PS3, I'd actually rebuy the game to get him).
I can just pandora down to 1.5, then install OFW 5.55, then when it's cracked, pandora back down to 1.5 to use CFW again right? I want to play the latest batch of 5.55 games (Orochi 2, this etc) and I don't mind temporarily sacrificing CFW features to do it (since it -is- only a matter of time)
