The SoulCalibur IV Thread

[BlackKnight]

Having seen the game running on both the 360 and PS3, we're a little worried that the PS3 version suffers from significant slowdown as opposed to the extremely smooth 360 build, but it's still early. These problems could very well be addressed in the coming months. Until then, we can't wait to get even more hands-on time with the next iteration of the Soulcalibur series.

I don't mean to start a fanboy thing about this, but I'm surprised that a Namco game would be developed for the 360 and ported over, and not the other way around. There are less than 60 days until this game is on shelves, so really they don't have all that much time to do anything about 'significant' problems that are still around now.

 

Anyway, here's a vid of Vader, in HD. He's still one good thing the PS3 has under its belt, even if only for a limited time.

this is definatly going to turn into 360vps3 thread again.

is there going to be an arcade release of this?

[L.S.D]

Vader>>>>Yoda. Why must he goes to PS3?

[Wizard]

Their just lazy to optimize the PS3 build. Although 360 to PS3 port building seems easier to do then building the game side by side.

[JKKDARK]

That's good news for me, thank you

[Gouken]

It's not even finished yet! Besides, I'm sure the game would be delayed if Namco wasn't satisfied. But a little slowdown can probably be fixed in a few weeks.

 

I hate vs. threads, especially when the game isn't even finished...

And what do you mean limited time? 360 has Yoda, PS3 has Vader. Live with it and stop being an xbot.

Well, BK is our resident cranky old man / bitcher, so what can you do. He can hate all he wants, and you don't have to put up with it... but I'm not going to start "herding" him just because you have to put up with his bitching.

 

We are all entitled to our opinions, no matter how right or wrong those might seem to others. Still, Don't judge a book by its cover - Let's see how the final product really plays.

I think the hype for the PS3 that has been made is more illusion than a reality. Don't get me wrong I think it's a great console but people expect things way higher than they are and that makes the console look bad. But by no means terrible.

Pretty much what I think on the PS3. I know I defend the 360 from time to time and hate on the PS3, because let's face it, the PS3 has the worst PR in the world.

It's Ridge Racer! Riiiiiidge Racer!

 

I love to hate the PS3, because it's pretty much terrible. I'm not going to right now, though, I'm just going to laugh at it for being worse than the 360, even if only in Beta.

It can't be any worse than the Wii.

None announced, but there will probably be one 6 months afterward.

It's a news thread, punk. And if a little slowdown could be fixed in a few weeks, we wouldn't have had the PS3 Orange Box a month late and still terrible.

And what do you mean limited time? 360 has Yoda, PS3 has Vader. Live with it and stop being an xbot.

I mean those exclusive characters and more 'guest characters' will come as DLC to both systems down the track. Why getting so touchy? Feeling that without Vader you're going to have a tougher time justifying that massive brick of a purchase? PS3 will have MGS4 and little else. Live with that.

 

This wasn't a fanboy thread, but you PS3 campers sure get upset easily.

 

yeah, stop hating on the PS3. >.<

Where's the hate? Did I make this up, or sneak into the Namco offices and sabotage the PS3 port? I'm as surprised as anyone else at this and just reporting the news. Sheesh. Get lives.

 

Well, BK is our resident cranky old man / bitcher...

That hurts Agozer

K. EA ported the Orange Box, not Valve. That's why it was late. People who didn't even make the damn game had to deal with the port... and it's EA...

 

The PS3 is getting a lot more than just MGS4. Just because we have to wait doesn't mean we're not getting it. The way you say things makes the PS3 sound like it's a crappy console.

 

Here's my opinion of a crappy console:

33% Failure Rate - I like to be secure in my purchase and not play russian roulette at the check out counter.

Pay for Online - I'm already paying my cable modem bill, why more?

No Standard HDD - Sure, we get installations, but we also get faster loading and streamable games. Got that? Nope.

No Wi-Fi?!?! - No need to say a word.

No HD out of the box - Buy a blu-ray player, you'll like the quality. Oh wait, buy a PS3.

 

Bottom line is, I do not go around defending the PS3 until some asswipe comes out and acts all fanboy on a general game site. You should be ashamed of yourself for blindly screwing bill gates up the ass with your wallet.

 

I'll enjoy SCIV on my PS3. As well as playing Vader EXCLUSIVELY. Get that, know what it means, it means it's not going to the 360. I'd love to have Yoda flipping around all over the place, but I know what the word exclusive means.
