Has there been a confirmed or "lead" platform for this?

Who in the fuck cares? Seriously, you're in this thread for the wrong god damn reasons.

 

[Space Runaway]

Man these shots are sexy for several reasons.

Why won't Namco release huge shots like this for Tekken 6.

 

[Mefisutoferesu]

Is she wearing armored high heels? I don't know why, but for some reason that gives me a chuckle.

 

[Skilletor]

So many good fighters coming out.

 

[Elbrain]

What the hell is Alucard doing in this game he is supposed to be in Castlevania

 

[Akinola]

way to be, namco

great screens are grrreeeeaaat

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Raphael?

That would be him in the first series of pics man, he's a bad motherfucker.

Yea, at first I thought that was Cervantes cuz he had that creepy undead vibe and that costume screams pirate, but he's throwing down with a rapier.

Height can be advantageous during battle.

 

[flipping_heck]

Nice screens but where the fuck is my Seung Mina?!

 

[plufim]

Character creation is in this confirm/deny

It has been confirmed.

And as hawt as Sophitia is... her eyes creep me the fuck out.

 

[Master Thespian]

With the ability to FINALLY put these frame intensive fighters online (filling the void that the dead American arcade scene left), watch as the genre experiences a rebirth. And I couldn't be more happy.

I freaking hope so that way these games can get their due and I can start wooping more ass online!

 

[vg260]

Who in the fuck cares? Seriously, you're in this thread for the wrong god damn reasons.

I'm in this thread because I want this game, have both systems, and am curious which one(s) it will be available for, and God forbid, may be better tailored to

Is that ok? I didn't think it was an unreasonable question I'm sorry if I upset you so much.

 

[2real4tv]

Whats going on with the blurry backgrounds?

 

[Juwanna Peezadis]

I-...I guess I have to forgive them for not making a Wii version.

Wow.

 

[Speevy]

When did Raphael become a vampire?

 

[Dabookerman]

I-...I guess I have to forgive them for not making a Wii version.

Wow.

Soul Calibur Legends is what you get. Be grateful.

When did Raphael become a vampire?

Castlevania fever!

 

[plufim]

When did Raphael become a vampire?

Between Soul Calibur 2 and 3.

 

[BeEatNU]

this is dope

please let Lizard Man be in there. PLEASE!

 

[Elbrain]

If Cervantes is not in this game the game is dead to DEAD TO ME!

 

[sixteen-bit]

please let Lizard Man be in there. PLEASE!

motherfuck yes

But I don't see why he'd be excluded since he's appeared in the last three games (at least in the west).

 

[SunkisTim535]

Looks sooo much better than Tekken. But what's the deal with the boobs? Jesus, ever since DOA is it requirement for female fighters to have huge tits spilling out of their costumes? Completely unnecessary if you ask me. Though I'm sure I'm in the massive minority on that one.

Is there a confirmed character list for this game yet? I never played SCIII so I'm not sure who even made it to that game. Specifically, can I count on Seung Mina and Talim being around?

I might have to get a 360 after all...

 

[kbear]

Wow.. Namco redeemed. Looks like they've finally got the hang of next-gen visuals.

Yeah, you are.

 

[BeEatNU]

motherfuck yes

yeah but you know how some fighting games do it, they might just cut him for some reason. Also I have to show some love for my boy Lizard man defying the laws of gravity

 

[Grecco]

Is that Raphael? He looks like a child molester now.

Incredible graphics though. I might get this just for the eye candy.

I thought he looked like Alucard with the whole Vampire Bat jewewl thing :lol

SC has always featured boobs.

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

HOT

 

[Hellsing321]

God damn Hilde is hot. Sophita is just a tramp.

 

[Dr.Hadji]

*kakashi fap gif*

No Kakashi NOO!!!!!!!!

 

[BeEatNU]

Kakashi should be training his eye jutsu and not his hands!

 

[Hours Left]

Woot! Sophie, Raph and Hilde look great.

Astaroth looks like a Rock Lord from the Go-Bots.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Can't believe I have more hype of SCIV over Street Fighter IV. But man this is looking great.

 

[DantesWrath]

Graphics are WOW

 

[The_legend_of_drtre]

Wow. Looks great. Can't wait to see how the Wii version looks. [face_mischief]

But seriously though I may end up buying a ps3 or 360 just to SC4 and Mortal Kombat 8. I'm a fighting game fan.

 

[SunkisTim535]

SC has always featured boobs.

Never to this degree. From my knowledge, Ivy had the most revealing costume in Soul Calibur...

That's nothing compared to this. Sophitia looks like she's had implants and has yet to buy a new wardrobe. She's practically falling out of her top.

 

[antiloop]

Looking good but something looks off IMO. Dunno what

 

[Desiderus]

Between Soul Calibur 2 and 3.

I remember turning on SCIII and thinking "The fuck?" Raphael living with Amy, took over a town. Infested everyone with zombie vampire scabies. So random.

That's nothing compared to this. Sophitia looks like she's had implants and has yet to buy a new wardrobe. She's practically falling out of her top.

Just staying true to the 2D art. Sophitia always had great knockers just never went with the awesome Toga and sandals.

 

[The_legend_of_drtre]

They need to chill out on the bloom and motion blur a little though. You can barely see the backgrounds.

 

[SunkisTim535]

Ahemm...

Taki in Soul Calibur:

Taki in Soul Calibur IV:

YOWZA! I just don't see the need to degrade one of the best fighting series ever with this kind of treatment to the female characters. If Taki was a real woman she'd be having severe back pain instead of doing crazy backflips. I don't see the fanbase that Namco is going for here, are gamers really attracted to the fact that their female characters have huge knockers? What's appealing about a bunch of polygons?

Oh well, as long as they don't fuck up the fighting system I guess there isn't much reason to complain. Soul Calibur continues to be my favorite fighting game of all time and although none of the sequels has equaled its greatness, it looks like Namco is headed in the right direction here. Hilda in particular sounds very interesting(from IGN):

This new character, Hilda, was a striking departure from the standard Soul Calibur female warriors because of the lack of skin showing in her character model. In fact, with the exception of her mouth and chin, she shows no skin whatsoever, which is a stark contrast to Ivy's busty and scanty outfits. Hilda also stands out from other characters because she wields a short sword and spear at the same time, making her adept at both long range strikes and short range combos. Of course, Cervantes has been another fighter that has dual wielded weapons before, but Hilda constantly balances her moves between distance and close quarter attacks. In fact, we noticed a number of preliminary strikes that she used to then set up quick slashes from her sword.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Instead of internet speed it should be memory warnings. Very low for my pc and ps3 browsre.

 

[NeonBlade]

Downgrade. AM Total.

The Tekken team is still leading this gen.

 

[angelfly]

Game is absolutely beautiful

 

[medze]

Whats going on with the blurry backgrounds?

Depth of Field Blur, probably only really apparent in replays

Game looks kickass though, will definitely pick it up

 

[Femmeworth]

boobs

What he said. Game looks really good.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Ahemm...

Did you forget the Sould Edge intro with the Taki bouncing boobs?...and the Sophitia scene in the lake?...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lIvZSpe8gE

The bathing suit ending with Sophitia (you can even unlock it)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btEi5RYvJU0&feature=related

The fan service was always there...,not a this deggre...of course...,but was there and was noticiable....

 

[LCGeek]

I'm really starting to wonder about some making the boob comment you got something against tits? If namco can bring in a few more people for my mitsu to rape so be it why should I care.

I just don't understand the individual brest pouches in her uniform. Might as well fight with her boobs out and tape over her nipples.

 

[Littleberu]

I think every boobs comments in a Soul Calibur IV thread should be banned.

 

[Future PhaZe]

For some reason I'm more attracted to Takis fit abs rather than her boobage. Seriously though its no big deal...so the females are a bit larger this time around...get used to it =).

 

[mugwhump]

Just released by TeamXbox:

HAHAHA OH, OW.
