Inky Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 SoulCalibur (XBLA) now on Live. Only 188MB too :Sgonna grab it first thing when I get home. fighting options for the 360 are looking pretty good actually.
BlackKnight Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 Remember guys, SoulCalibur for XBLA doesn't have an online vs mode. Slipped my mind until after I dled it :/
Inky Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 hmm I thought I read that it did......second thoughts now.
Lucandrake Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Wow? No online mode in a fighting game? That's flaw, way to trick the majority of paying customers!
Inky Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 I'll prolly pass then. not that I play alot of live anyways but its a feature that should be there. especially for an xbox LIVE arcade game.
Devia Eleven Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Not to mention the Dreamcast had online to begin with, but I don't think fighters were online for the Dreamcast back then anyways. Online play would have basically sparked the XBLA Arcade version indefinitely.
Lucandrake Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 Lol BK playing Solo-Player Soul Calibur, man that must sucks >.<!! Do it like back when in the SNES days, get a shitload of friends drunk, invite them over to play some Calibur's, and then those who liked it tend to stay around themselves .

Capcom was probably the only company to re/released online fighting games such as SSF2ST, Vampires Collections (Darkstalkers), Capcom vs SNK 2 all with online play in Japan. Of course, when the DC died, they took down the servers.

garyoak99 Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 Becos I am hoping that Soulcalibur 4 would be successful on X360 and Namco Bandai would be enticed to bring Tekken 6 to X360. With installation option, it would be a dream come true during online play. I don't know about that; historically NONE of the Tekken games have ever been released on anything other than Sony hardware unless you count Tekken Advance for the GBA and even then it wasn't an arcade title like the rest of them were! The Soul Edge series however is a different story entirely; Soul Calibur was released for the DreamCast as early as 1999! I'm sure many of you will also remember that Soul Calibur 2 was released for ALL THREE of the consoles back in 2003. It could have then been expected that Soul Calibur 4 would be on multiple consoles.
Skythe Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 The XBLA Soul Calibur has everything already unlock. So the only reason to play it is for the achievements or to play against someone else who's sitting next to you. I'm a little pissed the Summon Suffering achievement doesn't work in Practice mode.
garyoak99 Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 That would be sad, then the PS3 would only have about 1 exclusive that anyone cares about. Only one? Aren't there two as in Metal Gear Solid 4:GotP and Final Fantasy XIII?
BlackKnight Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Most people don't give a damn about FFXIII anymore. Or at least not as many as MGS4. LOL. Maxconsole Rick-rolled its own news thread with this new trailer; Enriqu... SoulCalibur IV Trailer

It could have then been expected that Soul Calibur 4 would be on multiple consoles.Again you are talking about the past, when PSX and PS2 is rolling in the dough. Not anymore. The current generation is seeing the least powerful machine taking a big chunk in the world, and X360 dominating in NA and PS3 lose out in most areas. You can say it is kinda balanced. If Tekken6 did not go multi platform, it mightnot garner back the production costs.
BlackKnight Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 Also consider that all Tekken games until 6 ran on essentially RAM-expanded PlayStation and PlayStation 2 arcade hardware. The porting would have been dirt easy, and also there was no serious home alternative to the PS series. N64, GC? Don't think so. Xbox1? Why bother? The circumstances are considerably different this time round. Now more than ever there would be a good incentive to bring the series to another console.
