EGM:
- Soul Calibur IV will run 60 frames per second(this was revealed previously).
The amount of detail in the game will be amazing! “The leather straps on Ivy’s thighs make real-time indentations into her skin as she fights.”
- The development team is putting so much detail into the game that they are actually rendering Taki’s nipples under her leotard.
- New characters will be kept under wraps and revealed closer towards the release date.
- “Guard Impact” is back.
- Stage design is still very early in development. Make sure to take note of these screens as the game progresses.
- The stages will be far more interactive and play a bigger role in battle. They use Zasalamel’s clock tower stage as an example.
- The development team is hoping to reduce the rate of ring out victories by making stages much larger than before.
- The game will be based on the Soul Calibur III engine and will be reworked from the ground up for balance reasons.
- Patching the game is possible if any issues come up with gameplay, but “we don’t intend to make a game that needs to be patched at a later date.”
- The health gauge is going to be changed. There will be a way to beat your opponent that doesn’t involve the health gauge or ring outs.
- No tag-team play.
- In regards to Soul Calibur on the PSP: “We’re happy to hear that players would like to see Soul Calibur on the PSP, so we’ll keep that in mind.”
- The “Create A Soul” mode is getting major improvements, such as being able to change your characters voice and certain customizations that will have an effect on gameplay.
- Online custom character trading is a possibility, as well as bringing your custom character to a friend’s house.

Firstly, the focus on the graphics being so good Ivy's leather straps leave marks on her thighs, and Taki's nipples are being rendered under her clothes. Eh? Yeah, because that's what the fans are most concerned about. I suspect the graphics won't be focussing on rendering the guy's bulges within their trousers.
Customisable items that effect the gameplay. Seems very Tekken 5.
Being based on the SCIII engine. Going to annoy a lot of people, but hopefully they'll fix it.
