New gameplay vids of SCIV's burning souls

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 30th 2008 at 5:15PM }

Now that we know a bit more about Soul Calibur IV's Create-A-Soul mode, it's time to see some more of the old familiar faces we know and love. Thankfully, a pair of Soul Calibur IV videos on GameTrailers are just what the doctor ordered. Neither video is especially long, but we do get a look at Voldo's always disgusting form. So, that's ... um ... good, we guess. Less disgusting is some footage of Ivy, Siegfried, and Amy. Overall, it looks pretty much like Soul Calibur. One thing worth pointing out, Amy's voice over sounds about as wooden as a boat. Good thing the gameplay looks to be intact. Enjoy.

Wow, looks like they really reinvented the wheel with that one!

How about developing a NEW GAME.

Pass!

S'cuse, but "reinventing" a fighting game ? With what ? Cars and wheels ? Whip and Hat ? Or maybe some kind of fluffy animals ?

Bah, it's a fighting game with weapons, like all the Soulcalibur serie. I'll buy. And without any frustration.

And if you wanna have an old game, buy Soulcalibur on Xbox Live Arcade, and stop cying, please :)

Last time the fighting genre saw innovation people screamed and ran. Talking about that anime game with over the shoulder camera's, that DBZ one. Funny it takes an anime game to do things unique.

Don't think anyone was crying there, babycakes, but thanks for telling me to 'buck up.'

Good advice on saving $50 and picking up the XBLA game. I am not even sure why they decided to do that. I am not buying this game on thesimexchange, that's for sure.

Well, someone sure is being an ass today.

Yeah, create a 'new game' how about telling that to just about every other games developer before saying it about a good one?

MattDark,

Same story, same characters, same gameplay with prettier graphics on any game, bad or good, is just milking the consumer for money with very little investment on the developers part. I don't want none of that.

CoD4, Battlefield: Bad Company, Bioshock, Crackdown, GTA IV and even Halo 3 brought something new to the table with updated story, innovated gameplay, a new twist on an FPS, fully destructible environments, etc, etc. Those games will get my business. Buying a game that I played ten years or more ago on the Dreamcast with slightly better graphics will not get my business.

And no reason to call Khayrhalt and ass, he is entitled to his own opinion too.

Kisses, sugar!

Clearly you're not much of a fighting game player. Fighters aren't the kind of game you can understand the discrepancies of simply by watching a handful of trailers. SC3 looked very similar to 2 if you only watched videos, but it was a vastly different game because of the nuances of the characters and their move sets.

Joop,

I hear ya, I guess if they have some cool new mechanic in the game (defense, counter-attack type thing), that could make it new and innovative.

I always thought a button mapped to each limp of the character would be work. X to block with the left arm, Y to counter-attack on a successful block. That would add lots of skill to the game.
