In the latest issue of EGM, rumormonger Quartermann drops a hint that Kratos (of God of War fame) will soon be revealed as the next playable character in the PlayStation 3 version of Soulcalibur IV.
I would link to some reputable source with proof that this is happening, but I’ve got nothing. All I am going on is the word of some mysterious figure in a popular videogame magazine who, for all I know, is actually a cute kitten. Oh, look, Mittens’ ball of yarn just rolled towards those copies of God of War and Soulcalibur! IT’S OFFICAL, KRATOS IS IN THE GAME!
If this is true, though, I know for certain which console version of Soulcalibur IV I am purchasing. Blades of Chaos vs. lightsaber? Yes, please.
What do you think? Too much cross-promotion or the
greatest thing ever?! Is
Soulcalibur becoming the new
Super Smash Bros.?

But seriously, they should take the IV off the end of this title and just name it Soul Calibur Legends or something. Oh wait!
you kill him-->he goes to hell-->he kicks everyone's butt-->he goes trough time-->he kill the fuck out of you.
At any rate, not even baldy can withstand the power of the Force.

too tempting, chad ;)
BS3 baby :D

Kratos was on it.
Well shit, if they can have Afro Samurai, why not Kratos?
Lack of exclusive sword wielding characters = fail?..
...Unless it's Marcus wielding the lancer. In which case, he'd be a huge tank character with limited projectiles. Bombs, machine gun fire and crap.
Kinda like Link in SC2, but heavy?..
Nahhh...I hope this isn't true.
Since Master Chief is slightly played out due to DOA, and Marcus Phoenix totally doesn't fit (though it would be kind of cool if his weapon was the Lancer), I'm going to guess they'll put in Ryu Hayabusa. That would be pretty lame though since he's already in a fighting series (but then again, so was Heihachi). Who else is there really? Maybe Baldur from Too Human?
- Strider
- Jade
- Gordan Freeman w/ Crowbar
- Wanderer from Shadow of the Colossus (compelte with grab and stab)
- Dante
- Auron
- Travis Touchdown
- Uther
- Thrall
- Bret Farve
- Roy Jones
- The Audi TT Roadster from Gran Turismo
- Grey Fox
- Wrex
- Spyro (All growed up)
- Tony Hawk (with Skateboard)
- One of the ships from Ikaruga
- Mr. Destructoid
Get some Patapon in there too and I might start to consider a purchase...
Also, I don't think Dante would be the one, since he's not an exclusive character.
Quartermann is the biggest creator of bullshit in videogames. Not a single prediction he's made has ever come true, aside from obvious shit like THERE WILL BE A NEW PLAYSTATION IN FIVE YEARS.
In the fantasy world that Quartermann would be right though, the only suitable 360 counterpart would be Ryu Hayabusa, which would be a nice jab at Itagaki since he always talked shit about Namco.
SC 3 had:
King from Tekken
Kunimitsu from Tekken
KOS-MOS from Xenosaga
Neneko from Yumeria
Valkyrie from The Legend of Valkyrie
SC4 should have
Wanderer from Shadow of the Colossus
Nariko from Heavenly Sword
Rau Utu from The Mark Of Kri
Sir Daniel Fortesque from MediEvil
Jennifer Tate from Primal
If we get Master Chief for the 360, I will stab somebody.
