UK gets spoiled with Soulcalibur IV pre-order goods

by Dustin Burg { Jul 2nd 2008 at 4:15PM }

Fanboys who have their gaming roots firmly planted in the UK and are interested in Soulcalibur IV, (no not that Soulcalibur) we recommend getting your pre-order on. Ubisoft just announced that customers who pre-order at UK retailer Play.com will receive a free Soulcalibur IV faceplate and those who choose to preorder at GAME stores will be getting an exclusive metal case packed with a bonus DVD and art book. Make your pre-order decision wisely, though no matter what you decide on, pre-order goodies have you will.

Hey Namco what ever happened to Tekken 6 haven't heard about it in a while?

I wish someone would just show some scans of whats in the artbook to see if its worth anything.

SOCAL is better than Tekken

"Soul Calibur" is two words.

BlackFreefall @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:36PM

Ever since Soulcalibur II, is one word.

And what do we get in America? An over-sized tshirt.

God i love metal casing. Pity I have very little interest in the series.

Brian @ Jul 2nd 2008 4:47PM

Hm, that is a hard choice.

I might pre-order it from both stores then sell the extra copy when it is out...then i would get best of both offers.

NukeAssault @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:39PM

Definitely sounds like the best option. =D

Dwag @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:04PM

Soulcalibur is not better than Tekken come on who lied to you?

TORO @ Jul 2nd 2008 5:49PM

This guy said so...and I agree with pretty much everything:
"Anyways, I don't think of Tekken as a button masher, I think of it as more of a "precision" game, where attacks/combos have to be exact and precise.... Soul Calibur is more of the "Jack of all Trades" for fighting games, where it has everything for the casual and the hardcore gamers, as well as for the button-mashers.... In Soul Calibur, anybody can pick up the game and have fun (Tekken, not so much, it needs more study to really get into the game), but a hardcore player can also pick it up and get deep into the techniques and combat system... and a button-masher can also pick up the game and actually look kinda like he knows what the heck he's doing (again, with Tekken, not so much).... Plus, the best thing I like about Soul Calibur that you don't see much in Tekken - gamer variety! It's easy to find gamers in Tekken who play almost alike, but it's hard to find Soul Calibur players that play the same.... You see one Kazuya player, it's almost like you've seen 'em all, but you can compare different Ivy players and get different styles and results.... Soul Calibur's movelists are just more "flexible" in which a player can create a style that's more "their's" than anybody else's, it's just easy to link several moves together, and everybody seems to link them all differently.... And the 8-way run control configuration just makes it better because it adds more variety and a more 3-D feel than Tekken offers...."

One word: Swords!

Agh, which one should I get? I enjoyed SC II & III, so I'm definitely, but I'm unsure where to preorder it from.

I already have a Master Chief faceplate, but, eh, I'm not sure which looks better.

Dwag @ Jul 2nd 2008 7:09PM

^^^^^^Who said that I might ask?

ALH @ Jul 2nd 2008 7:54PM

That art book sure is tempting. I love soul calibur 1, but the tittysplosion is too much for me..i know it doesnt effect the gameplay but seriously..puts me off a purchase so much :(

Dwag @ Jul 3rd 2008 1:21AM

I was kinda banking on the Artbook showing a lot tits. Now it looks like I can wait until someone puts it online the Faceplates always make me think other wise.

ALH @ Jul 3rd 2008 5:50AM

true- but i dont tend to look at concept art in 'public', while gaming is far more open. i dont like the idea of people walking in on me playing what has turned from a semi-serious fighting game to something thats beginning to rival the dead or alive series as far as tittertainment goes.

Even without the stigma of closed minded relatives thinking ive gone lesbo, i personally feel a bit queasy when i see bits and pieces jiggling around, but i guess its not going to be as 'advanced boob physics' as my nightmares make it out to be.

My favourite character to play as is ivy, which doesnt help ;_;
