Namco Bandai will release a new Soulcalibur game this year, but it isn’t Soulcalibur VI.
This makes no sense I thought that the children of Sophitia Alexandra destroyed Soul Edge and Soul Calibur. Why are Namco/Bandai even making this? They already have a Free to Play game and it is "Tekken Revolution."
Blame Namco who gave them 12 freakin' year to make the game. Namco treats the SC series as an unwanted stepchild.
LOL SINGLE PLAYER ONLY.

You can make that very same question to Capcom about the dictator, who was killed by Gouki's SGS. And so, Rose died too, because of the soul sharing etc.
They are destroying the SC series with every new part. Good that SCII HD is released this year too.

SCIII had the - in my opinion - best solo player modes of them all, the onloy small complaint i would have about the story mode would be that the most part of the story was told with text and that there were no really unique cutscenes beside the endings.
That other story mode there with a few strategic elements was not too bad either and entertaining for at least one playthrough.
SoulEdge/Calibur always had the best fighting game background story for me after Mortal Kombat (yes..thats no joke..its my opinion) and was much more interesting than everything about Heihachi and Kazuya, Ryu, Ken and M.Bison or even the Orochi Power in the older KOF games.
SCIV was already a massive dissapointment for me, i played SCV but never felt like i need to buy it.
I won so many online matches that it became boring to me did not even touch ttt2 now since over a month. When i buy a fighting game today i do it more for the solo modes than anythng else.
I terms of quality really SCII was the peak of the series. SCIII had way too much bugs and it was so easy to get your save file corrupted.
Still SCIII is my favorite. Loads of unlockable content is my one weakness in games.
Namco Bandai has released the first few screenshots of Soulcalibur: Lost Swords, its upcoming free-to-play fighter for PlayStation Network.
The images show returning characters Siegfried Schtauffen an Mitsurugi Heishiro.
Lost Swords will be at the Tokyo Game Show this week. Expect new information soon.
since they seem to have custom parts in alternating shotsWhich shots ? I don't see it, there's only two shots.
Which shots ? I don't see it, there's only two shots.

Are those guys getting hit even supposed to be Siegfried and Mitsurugi ? They look nothing like them. I figured it was some sort of "generic enemy" because they look so, well, generic.Which shots ? I don't see it, there's only two shots.
What I mean is:
In one shot we have Misturugi in his SCV outfit doing his AA on a Zweihander-wielder wearing plenty of recognizable armour, if you played around with CAS a lot.
Whereas in the other shot we have a guy with different yet familiar armour and a katana sheathe on his left, getting sliced at the side by Siegfried.
It seems like Mitsu and Sieg are switching in and out of their vanilla & custom costumes in both shots. And to see those kinds of custom costumes on them should only remind someone of Create A Soul, and bring out the idea that we may, in fact, customize our favourite characters or even make our own.
Customization became such a fan favourite in Soul Calibur V. Wouldn't it make sense to add the mode and further peak consumer interest?
So, since they seem to have custom parts in alternating shots, I feel sure that Namco'll keep us grinding for Create-A-Soul unlocks.
Namco has explained the thinking behind its decision to make a single-player only Soul Calibur with Lost Swords, a free-to-play beat 'em-up that's coming to PlayStation 3 next year.
In a pre-Tokyo Game Show briefing Namco announced that Heihachi and Siegfried would star in the game, and Sophitia - a character absent in Soul Calibur 5 - would also be making a return.
Soul Calibur Lost Swords is a traditional one-on-one beat 'em-up that introduces new features to the series, including elemental gems that can be added to customize weapons.
It is a single player only experience, a decision that producer Masaki Hoshino explained to Eurogamer.
"This was done intentionally because as we said people do enjoy fighting other people, but one thing we noticed with the Soul Calibur fanbase is that a lot of people really enjoyed the game for its story, setting and atmosphere," Hoshino said. "They didn't like playing against other people - when you lose it's not exactly a great feeling. So we decided to tailor something to this player base."
"This might seem unusual, but we've done a lot of research and noticed the Soul Calibur group was different to Tekken. That group like fighting against each other, whereas Soul Calibur fans really want to look at the characters and enjoy the atmosphere, and we had an overwhelming response in that direction, so that's why we chose that."
Hoshino said that fans who are after a competitive Soul Calibur can play the soon to be released HD remake of Soul Calibur 2, which is headed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
There is no Wii U version planned, but when asked whether it'd be possible for a Nintendo version of the game that would feature Link, a guest character in the GameCube original, Hoshino said he was open to the idea if fan demand was there.

Three quarters sure it's a new voice actor, or at least new recordings. Pretty sure the "Obliterate!" replaces her untranslated "Messatsu!" from SCIV.
Also FUCK YEAH TAKI

It's not a remake, they're straight up using her SC4 model. Sophitia got the same treatment.

The only thing I'm disappointed on with Taki...why not have her look like she's 47 or something?
I'm not saying that I don't like how she looks now(she looks far better than before), but come on, make her look she's gotten somewhat older rather just remaking of her SC4 model or something.

do you want taki to have even bigger boobs (since for the soul calibur team the only difference between young and old females is breast size)
I don't know, maybe. Jeez, what's the point of the timeskip if you aren't gonna make the females look somewhat older or something.Athena and Sakura say hi. Stop complaining.

Amazing game. No one can connect to the servers so you can't get past the title screen.
Hello North & South American SoulCalibur Fans,
BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc. would like to express our appreciation for the excitement and passion that our SoulCalibur fans have displayed for SoulCalibur: Lost Swords. There is currently a technical issue that has delayed the launch of the game and we have been working through this issue all through last night and today to expedite the launch of SoulCalibur: Lost Swords.
We have discovered that the issue requires a resolution across multiple parties and therefore our efforts to remedy the issue is taking longer than anticipated. Currently we are working feverishly with a key partner to implement a solution in the shortest amount of time possible.
We know that this title has been highly anticipated by all of you and we ask for your patience and understanding as we work to get SoulCalibur: Lost Swords up and running as soon as possible. Thank you!
BANDAI NAMCO Games America Inc.
Can't wait to see what Ace Combat Infinity will be plagued with.Not much, actually. If the beta's to be believed, it's pretty damn fine in terms of functionality. Shockingly enough.
We know that this title has been highly anticipated by all of you:uhoh:
Does the game seriously have a random item box DLC?
Literally everything for this game has been working fine for me. :o
Why was it decided that Lost Swords would be singleplayer only?
Hoshino: The reason that we went singleplayer…well, originally, we were thinking about having a multiplayer option, but because we’re going with a pay-to-win model, we were worried that by having online multiplayer, for all the new users that would be coming in experiencing the game for the first time, they might be immediately deterred by fighting against opponents who had superior equipment and gear—and we didn’t want to have that kind of negative impact on new players.
In the singleplayer experience, having a pay-to-win structure won’t impede the player’s experience with the game.
Patroklos is following his sister and his mother’s footsteps by becoming a playable character in Soulcalibur: Lost Swords. Like Sophitia, Patroklos fights with a short sword and shield.
Players will be able to get Patraoklos as a playable character in the free to play fighting game through a quest which will be available at least in Japan today. A quest to get Hilde for players that missed her will be available too. Bandai Namco Games also added new Angel Armor to Soulcalibur: Lost Swords.
SoulCalibur is the new ZackRyder/DamienSandow of Videogames =/
I just wish it coulda been Talim
There is a roughly bi-weekly rotation of what characters are available to unlock, although those three starter characters are always available. They repeat the events after a while, the maintenance periods usually signal the new events.

Fuck her, where the hell is my darling Cassandra?!
as long as they continue with the Sophitia/Phyrra/Taki fanservice...

Seong Mina was added to the game last night and you unlock her by buying the $30 premium chest 3 times. This is the only way to unlock her so far.
Reviving because HOLY FUCKING SHIT NAMCO?!?!?!QuoteSeong Mina was added to the game last night and you unlock her by buying the $30 premium chest 3 times. This is the only way to unlock her so far.
Everyone who spends the money for it should be punched in the face since they open the doors for more of that shit.
If games can be successful with those shitty strategies, more and more of them will be done in the future.

Oh look, another new outfit. (http://www.siliconera.com/2014/10/21/soulcalibur-lost-swords-says-happy-halloween-costume-fateextra-artist/)

It's not even the "outfit doesn't fit character" thing, though it doesn't help. The outfit is supposed to be sexy and revealing and I like it.
But, this isn't exactly a game people are running off to play (Megacritic score is 38 (http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/soulcalibur-lost-swords)). Gives the game a bad look, moreso than the usual criticism. Most people would rather this game be forgotten about if the backlash is any indication. It's one thing to have these kind of outfits on even a decent game because at least it can be defended on other merits.
I'd feel a hell of a lot better about this game if Namco would just outright say "one of our main objectives of this game is to simulate the most attractive females in video games." They're doing a great job on that, but that's about as much as I can say.
nvm, I tought this was the doa topic.
I can't wait to see how much they'll charge for Cassandra...
Maxi is out...for $60...and another $30, you can get Seong Mina too...
Such a nice deal, I can't wait to see how much they'll charge for Cassandra...

Such poor commitment to Cassandra.
Not as if there are better uses of $60, like buying a new game, or paying for living expenses.
your waifu is sad.
SIXTY DOLLARS? LIKE IRL MONEY?
SIXTY DOLLARS? LIKE IRL MONEY?
As I understand it (feel free to correct me, because I always like to know exactly why I'm disgusted with something) you pay for costume packs and then get the character when you've got certain packs.
But yeah, IRL money.
Can't wait for them to announce Talim, available for $94.99
So how many arms and legs is she?
I think you gotta sell your body and soul for her.Good, its cheap then, compared to the last ones.
So how many arms and legs is she?
Well lookie here:
