Where is Soulcalibur 5?

[BrollySupersj]

It's been two years since Soulcalibur 4, and AFAIK, there has been NO mention of a fifth installment.

What gives?

 

[Alchemyst]

I'm pretty sure Namco Bandai has their hands full with Tekken X Street Fighter and Tekken Tag Tournament 2, maybe once after those release they'll bust out another Soul Calibur game.

 

[Wolfwood]

Yeah, I'm betting we'll get a teaser when those two fighting games are close to release and then maybe a year after that we'll get it.

 

[BrollySupersj]

That's much too long.

 

[ttotheusher]

They did release a PSP game featuring Kratos, but that's the last I've heard of anything Soul related.

 

[BrollySupersj]

I have that one, it's nothing special. Not like the last two.

 

[Wolfwood]

Well looks like they're going to begin the early stages of development even while building two other fighting games. Pretty impressive.

Maybe this time 360 gets Shrek and Ps3 gets Donkey.

Hm...he must of read my thread.t:

 

[Soapy]

Looks like an announcement could be coming soon.

 

[Havok83]

Good. This is up there as one of the best fighting series of all time

 

[Soapy]

I don't know if I would go that far, but the first certainly ranks up there.

yes it does. As far as 3D fighter goes, I'd say its the best

 

[Havok83]

the game was just announced, set for a 2012 release

It begins.

 

[Havok83]

Game is set 17 years after the last one andabout half the roster will be new. Im not liking that bc Ive found when other fighters have done that in the past, its been a turn off. I didnt care for SF 3 and MK DA as the previous entries bc I had no attachement to all the new fighters and to this day, they simply dont compare to them

[Jennifer Walters]

I can see Ivy, Taki, Amy/Raphael, Tira, Talim, Kilik, Xianghua, easily coming back seeing as they are either series stables or very young/vampires.

 

[X Knight]

Based on Pyrrha's "history" with Soul Edge, I hope they don't make her the "evil/corrupted" sibling that must be stopped.

[X Knight]

I'm loving all the new characters so far!!

hopefully, they are still tweaking the moves and animations......

Pyrrha's Critical Edge move just seems......"weak".....compared to some of the CE moves of the other characters......

and the facial expression she makes before doing the move is.........awkward looking.....lol

 

[Specter313]

Ezio Auditore is rumored to be one of the special playable characters in this one, which I read on a scroll on G4.

Yeah I saw that too. The screen I saw him in also showed a small picture of Nightmare's face. I can't wait till his full reveal.t:

 

[Havok83]

Confirmed
