Soul Calibur series

Well,we didn't have a thread for it so I decided to make one.It's one of my favorite games and this summer Soul Calibur 4 is coming out.What are your thoughts on this game?
I personally find the storyline pretty interesting with the cursed sword(soul edge) and the holy sword(soul calibur).I just hoped they spent more time on the story.As seen in trailers,the gameplay has improved in SC4 and it's more realistic like when you break your opponent's guard or the opposite,some of the clothes are ripped or supposed to be ripped.In the Hildegard(she's some kind of a knight) case her helmet breaks.
Those who are interested in SC4 must have already noticed the many female bonus characters that have been added this time and the Star Wars characters.

Isn't Soul Calibur used to be Soul Edge or something like that?
I believe I have SC3 it's interesting however there are some of the characters that I don't like for being amazingly slow D:

Basically it's called Soul series including the Soul Edge games and Soul Calibur games.

Ahh! nice a SC thread has been made. I love all of the games and I am planning on getting SCIV next month when it is released. I am pretty excited. I think the best new thing in it is online play. But yeah it should be awesome.

I think the same.The graphics kick *ss.The only thing I'd change is put some clothes on Ivy.

yeah Ivy is alittle.....creepy lol and she always has like no clothes on lol. But the game should be super fun.

I agree to that.But it brings you embarrassment when someone who hasn't played the previous game and Ivy pops up.They'll think the worst for you and the game.I think this time Namco focused on fanservice rather than the story.

Personally, I don't care much about the "Soul" series, It's not like I hate it though. Most gamers will probably share my opinion. I see it as a "beat the game, put it on the shelf" game. But none the less, a game to be reckoned with.

I don't see the title doing much impact as GTA or Metal Gear would on a next gen gaming system, lets say little affect at all. Soul Calibur 2 did help make the systems different by featuring different characters for ps2, ngc, x-box...however left the out the gamers who wanted to play Link on the ps2 (who didn't own another system) or players who wanted to play Spawn on the NGC.

There was mixed opinions about the 3rd title, the fact that some stuff were scrapped out of the original idea and the quest system being corrupted: which occasionally can wipe out a memory card for the ps2 system rendering it useless and broken...I guess bricked.

That's my opinion...

I see your point but I think the newly added "Online Play" might just be the thing to make to make Soul Cailber IV a game that people might wanna pick up if only for the online. I know that is the feature I am looking forward to alot. I do see your point though the SC games got old after awhile. But I think thats what happens with games that lack online play. It's like you beat the story then what? But now that SC is going to have online I think that will attract more players.

I Can't Believe SC4 Has 2 Star wars Characters Instead of having SW Charactes they should have someone from tales of abyss!I heard that the 2 SWC Can use Force.They also said the game has a way to break gaurding by Destroying the enemy's Armour.
