EGM to reveal Soul Calibur 4, possibly, in the future, we hope photo
     Zombie

1UP, the Interweb component of Electronic Gaming Monthly, has word from their forbidden ink-and-paper lover that next month's issue will reveal Soul Calibur 4, the latest title in Namco's long-running phallocentric fighter series.

Genre fans have long been waiting for this announcement as the recent titles in the Tekken, and Virtua Fighter series (those other 3D fighters), have been mainly rehashes of previous ideas. One hopes Namco doesn't fall into the same trap with the reincarnation of Soul Calibur, but according to this guy I just asked on the subway, "Whassa Sour Cabaler?"

Please have online multiplayer, Namco. Look at the calendar ... it'll be 2008 by the time this game is released. ONLINE. MULTIPLAYER.

I wanted to type "nipplols" but nipples are no laughing matter. They is all very cereal business, much like the internets.

@tazar

lol

I Mitsurgi'd all over this picture, FWIW.

Let's hope they keep that questionable Raphael away from any significant screenshot extravaganzas. I don't need to know what Prince would look like with a sword.

Oh. I just thought of what Ivy would look like.
I just Mitsurgi'd again. So soon, too.

My dearest Soul Calibur, what have they done to you?

A shitty Wii game, a shitty PS2-exclusive sequel, and Ivy and Voldo have been gimped so bad there's literally no reason to play you anymore.

I mourn your passing.

I'm pretty sure that Taki is a dickgirl of the switchblade variety. She's packin' some heat. I'd totally tap Ivy, or Talim if she wasn't jailbait (Hey, I don't have the Workman Suave going for me, so I couldn't talk my way out of the felony charge).

Oh, and Link FTW.

Please let there be online multiplayer! I know they probably won't do it though...everyone is afraid to try. How is anyone ever going to get it right if no one tries!?

I could swear I remember hearing something about "soul-calibur adventures" coming to the Wii and it was some kind of adventure game set in the soul calibur world.

Am I correct or just on drugs?

They are going to have to add a lot of creative new ideas for me to care about Soul Calibur anyomre.

That's true of all 3D fighters.

How can she be a ninja with a mountain range she calls chest compromising her agility, acrobatics, and common sense?

She's not a ninja, she's a FEMALE ninja. Instantly gets away with anything no matter how ridiculous. And Soul Calibur 4, 5, 6 and whatever number they get to before changing the name to Soul "Other-name-for-a-sword" will all be the same. Is it a fighting game? Is it a craptastic RTS? Is it yet another lame mode tacked on? Still, best create a character mode in any console ever wins. Soul Calibur I will always love you, except Voldo and Ivy ... and Astaroth just gets more rediculous ... and did you hear Yoshimitsu's voice, damn that was bad. But for better or for worse an' all. Now all together, "Gotta get to the edge of soul!"
