You've heard about Namco Bandai's PSP-exclusive Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, you've seen plenty of screenshots, now check out what the game looks like in motion.
Yup, we have got a trailer after the break, and it contains a whopping 12 seconds or so of the actual game. While it's hardly enough content to let us know if our excitement (or lack thereof) is justified, it servers as a decent teaser, I guess.
If there's one thing that needs to be said to all developers -- not just the team behind Broken Destiny -- it's that you should never include the word "broken" anywhere in your game's title unless you are confident it's going to be perfection of the genre. It kind of sets you up for jokes, y'know?
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I really haven't been fond of the recent Soul Calibur games. However, seeing that suave bastard in the header really interests me. Moreso than the actual gameplay, which says...something.
"it would be better if fighting games were actually playable on the psp"
WTF? And waht's exactly the problem with Tekken DR?
"I'm convinced that in reality, the PSP is dead...and that acually hurts me to say."
I would agree if I have read this two or three months ago. But now... Seriously people, it has unmatched line up for this year.
So long as you have any PSP version other than 1000, the d-pad is very solid and usable for fighting games (at least 3D ones).
Even if you have a 1000, you can mod the d-pad and buttons to make them feel more like the regular PS pad. All you need is some super glue, some scissors and some thin plastic. I'm not usually a modder but this was an easy one to do.
To be honest, I hope it's a bit more like SC3. SC4 was pretty, but it was really bare-bones compared to 3, so hopefully they put the adventure elements back in, to take my mind off of the fact that I suck at it.

Where the PSP truly fails is the shooting genre. FPS/Third Person shooters fucking suck. The PSP ruined Star Wars: Battlefront for me completely.
