Soul Calibur V

[Mango Elephant]

Comes out January 31st in America and in Europe a few days after that! I'm terribly excited. The game takes place 15 (or maybe 17) years after SCIV.

I have 31 pictures here, and since it won't let me post unless I cut a picture so that I only have 30, I'm going to get rid of the picture of Z.W.E.I., because he's stupid. Just picture Maxi if he had dumb hair and black clothes.

Since none of y'all are responding, I'm going to assume it's because y'all don't know how awesome this game is. To show you, I'll like a couple youtube videos in HD. They're absolutely beautiful.

Keep in mind this is just the demo, and by far not all characters and stages have been announced ... but still, isn't it beautiful and amazing?

I am definitely keeping up with all the Soul Calibur news of late, and am excited for this latest addition. Pumped that Raphael's still in, and can't wait to see more new characters.

It's probably because many of us either don't have/play on (the recent gen) of consoles and/or don't play fighting games. This is a civ forum

It looks really good graphically, but I've found Marvel vs Capcom 3 to be a hell of lot more fun than Soul Calibur 4. Although the stupid spear spam in SC is replaced by gun spam :/

 

[Abaddon]

Lol, why did you bother posting all those images and spoilering them all? Like anyone would care?

One or two images would have easily sufficed.

Is it going to be kind of crap like SCIV or awesome like SCII?


Edit: Also, any word on whether Tira is going to be a bit rubbish like is SCIII, or really rubbish like SCIV

Disclaimer: Don't own a PS3, all impressions of SCIV are from playing it at other peoples houses.

Me too!

Well, I've read that the devs want to get away from what the game was in SCIII and SCIV and return to SCII, so I guess so. You can watch the videos and see the gameplay is faster than it was in IV.

I don't know about Tira (never really played her), but you could always get it on a 360!
