Star Wars invades Soul Calibur IV
FrozenDelight | 7:45 AM on 01.10.2008 5 comments


That little green guy and that guy with a black helmet from Star Wars will be in Soul Calibur IV, as you probably already know. Apparently the green one will be in the Xbox 360 version, and the black one will be in the PS3 one. You see how the colours match? Brilliant... kinda. I think this is pretty neat, even though I'm not a Star Wars fan. Having artists and animators who can actually make good 3D models is what will make this different from all the other Star Wars games, and the fact that they'll be in a game that has a decent fighting system.

The strange thing about this is that these characters are so massively popular that it kind of overshadows the rest of the game. The trailer even says something at the end about how perhaps the swords have met their match, and then shows Darth Vader and Yoda. Soul Calibur IV will probably sell a lot more because of these two dudes making an appearance... I just noticed, IV... Iv-y, the game should be centered around Ivy! That would be awesome.

All this brings to light how so many awesome characters/franchises are neglected in games, or are completely ignored. Bring on a new Back to the Future game, I want my time traveling flying cars dammit.

Kidding you about what?

Yeah, it's definitely going to boost sales, even if it is retarded. I don't care what anyone says, this series hasn't been good since the Dreamcast.

Oh, and the previous commenters were trying to point out that this is on the front page of dtoid, so there is no real reason to post it here. I'm on the fence, since you seem to have some personal opinion on the matter, why not elaborate your blog and tell us more about playing as Yoda?

Oops, yeah I should have made it clearer that I'm just saying what I think on the subject. I'm not on the bleeding edge of breaking news or anything like that, I just like to blabber on about stuff.

Yeah I don't think they've been all that good since the Dreamcast too, they haven't changed much, just got better graphics. Actually I don't like Soul Calibur games, they're one of those button bashing fighters. There is depth to it, but most will always end up playing against someone who's just bashing the buttons, and they'll get away with it. I generally don't think beat-em-ups inwhich you can press the same button like 6 times in a row and get a beefy chain combo. You couldn't get away with that in Street Fighter or King Of Fighters. But then again, there aren't that many beat-em-ups to choose from anymore, so Soul Calibur has risen on my list. I don't know how Yoda will play, he's so damn small, it reminds me of Gon on Tekken 3 :P

Anyone know how I can change my avatar? It doesn't seem to work for me in my profile settings.
