I smell Ninja Gaiden graphic wise from this game.

 

[Stop It]

Now thats why I bought a Wii, looking good so far, just add shadows Namco, and a coherant control scheme and this could be a sleeper hit, will keep an eye on this.

 

[c_k_i_t3]

So, any new info in this interview...

 

[wonderfuldays]

Will TP Link inside?

 

[Prine]

I smell Ninja Gaiden graphic wise from this game.

not even close

 

[Yagharek]

I'm of the opinion that Soul Calibur on Dreamcast still looks and sounds fantastic. Even though the game is technically surpassed by many other games now, it looks so clean, colourful and the music ... the music!

I only hope this game manages to uphold the level of quality that Soul Calibur exemplifies.

 

[Fady K]

I smell Ninja Gaiden graphic wise from this game.

Ninja Gaiden looked far better than this IMO. This doesnt look a lot better than Soul Calibur III to be honest.

 

[Kafel]

Looks promising, the 2-players mode will be ace.

 

[GC|Simon]

Yeah. This is looking nice to me.

 

[Saoh]

looks great, but im careful about this one. i hope it turns out well

 

[Monk]

Ninja Gaiden looked far better than this IMO. This doesnt look a lot better than Soul Calibur III to be honest.

I think he is referring to the original ninja gaiden on the origianl Xbox.

While the polygon count on the enemies and characters are a little more on Ninja Gaiden the texture work and the environments are abotu the same.

 

[Kafel]

I like the art.

 

[schuelma]

Stop looking forward to this game, people. It's going to suck.

What has me pretty optimistic is IGN was very skeptical of the game, and did a 180 soon after the Namco event. That tells me they played it and its pretty good.

 

[JDSN]

Old art with nipples:

Rest of the art (Warning: No nipples)

yes let a glowing nintendo power preview get your hopes up. surely this is a wise course of action.

Yeah, I bet Namco is lying on purpose about the team making the game!

 

[SCReuter]

I could've sworn these screens were released already.

Whatever the case, Namco's giving us an exclusive SoulCalibur designed with the Wii Remote in mind, so I'm all for this.

Even if Legends happens to be a spin-off.

 

[Lé Blade Runner]

If they pull this off well, I am more than happy to buy the game. Oh, and Ninja Gaiden on Xbox is still a good-looking game ( I wonder how über-awesome Ninja Gaiden Sigma will be, though ).

 

[SpoonyBard]

I can't see shit, JDSN.

There's also the same screenshots of this thread, but in near-native resolutions.

P.S.: the pics you hotlinked don't work to me.

They look around the same graphically to me...but eh whatever if some random guys on the internet say the Xbox game looks better because they dislike the wii who am i to argue?

I was pessimistic about this game until i heard what team was working on it. I think we can put those "DBD 2 LOLZ" arguments to rest now.

 

[radiuhm]

Games looking great, hope it does come with coop, that'd be perfect.

 

[Jaurenlo]

There is hope yet.

 

[wsippel]

Games looking great, hope it does come with coop, that'd be perfect.

Coop was already confirmed if I remember correctly...

 

[MaddenNFL64]

Yep, game is looking great. Xbox levels, which is what I expect form now on. Good stuff .

 

[LOCK]

Amazing

 

[nerbo]

Time for Scamco to milk this franchise to it's death. *yawn*

 

[Creamium]

Although the screens look pretty good, my scepsis for this game still stands

 

[Tabris]

It won't be good, just like that dumb Nina game wasn't good and all those tekken mini-games w/ the same premise weren't that good.

Namco just doesn't know how to take a fighting game and make an action game out of it.

 

[Kafel]

Don't worry, it won't be a good game for you no matter what.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Don't worry, it won't be a good game for you no matter what.

Unless they port it to PS3 and "next-gen" the graphics of course...

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Unless they port it to PS3 and "next-gen" the graphics of course...

Well, duh. Then he'd be able to bounce of walls and use combos.

 

[SCReuter]

Different teams.

Give the game a chance.

 

[Haunted]

Different teams.

Give the game a chance.

It's not on the PSP, why should he?

 

[M3d10n]

Why oh why are you making that for the Wii... I don't want to have gimmicky wiimote controls in a fighting platforming game... I want combos, walljumps and insane storylines.

Surely, Ivy and Taki fighting a giant Astaroth is completely sane and normal by Soul Calibur Standards.

Oh snap, he's banned.

 

[CreatureX3]

Oh man this game is looking sweet!

 

[Bluemercury]

According to NP the better team is working on this.....

 

[Pureauthor]

Surely, Ivy and Taki fighting a giant Astaroth is completely sane and normal by Soul Calibur Standards.

Oh snap, he's banned.

What I don't understand is why he would consider SC's storyline 'insane'. I always thought it as pretty standard fare for videogames.

 

[ivysaur12]

The art is awesome, and now that we know what team is making it, I'm really looking forward to this.

And shut up, it looks as good as Ninja Gaiden.

 

[radiuhm]

To be honest I would've loved Soul Calibur 4 instead =/, well that's more incentive to buy a PS3

Spoiler

when they finally drop the price.

 

[DyTonic]

Is online co-op too much to ask for??

 

[Andonuts]

Now thats why I bought a Wii, looking good so far, just add shadows Namco, and a coherant control scheme and this could be a sleeper hit, will keep an eye on this.

surely this game will fail without the proper shadows

 

[CurseoftheGods]

I am cautiously optimistic.

You know what would be really awesome? Having them include a port of the original Soul Calibur in this game.

Make it happen, Namco.

 

[citrus lump]

Looks good.

I wonder if they'll stick Link in this one

 

[Linkup]

It's hard to change first impressions of a game on the internets. Looks fine and it has co-op plus a versus mode.

 

[Emiru]

Looks almost as good as SC4 scans I saw.

 

[dark10x]

Looks almost as good as SC4 scans I saw.

So SC4 looks worse than Soul Calibur 3 then? Yikes. :|

 

[SCReuter]

I am cautiously optimistic.

You know what would be really awesome? Having them include a port of the original Soul Calibur in this game.

Make it happen, Namco.

I'd buy it for the port alone.

And the inclusion would make sense considering Legends is a direct prequel to the original Calibur.

 

[Monk]

So SC4 looks worse than Soul Calibur 3 then? Yikes. :|

If you gave me two screens, one with sc3 and the other with sc4, i probably cant tell the difference.

 

[dark10x]

If you gave me two screens, one with sc3 and the other with sc4, i probably cant tell the difference.

That's a shame, but seems to be par for the course this generation (with Namco).

I have yet to see a single shot of SC4...

 

[GaryD]

co-op confirmed?

 

[schuelma]

co-op confirmed?

According to GamesRadar, yes:


http://www.gamesradar.com/us/wii/ga...00&sectionId=1006&pageId=20070628115344528069


"Add to that planned multiplayer modes which include co-op play as well as vs, and you have a Soulcalibur unlike any that has come before it."
