Yep, the secret characters have been unmasked. Let's just say it looks like The Force will be strong with this one...

So Vader's gonna be PS3 only then? Thats cr@p! Whats the point of having two Star Wars characters if you can't have them fight each other!

Bauul · 10th Jan 2008, 12:20

Just look at ~~the breasts~~ the graphics on that! Having Yoda in the game remids me a bit of Gon on Tekken III, the ultimate in jippy characters.

cjoyce1980 · 10th Jan 2008, 12:53

hopefully they will be unlockable via a cheat or as DLC

Cadillac Ferd · 10th Jan 2008, 13:00

Oh damn, thats pretty neat, I probably could live without the gimmicky random star wars secret characters though as long as I get me some next-gen Soul Caliber goodness. I hope it works on Xbox live though, for some reason DOA 4 is the laggiest game I've ever seen in my life every time I play it on Live.

Speedo · 10th Jan 2008, 13:18

Damnit, I'll likely get the PS3 version but I want Yoda! Damn you Namco!

Naruto isn't laggy so I don't see why Soul Caliber would be.

Redbeaver · 10th Jan 2008, 14:18

soul calibur rhymes with lightsaber.....

thats why!

hmmm this may be a reason to buy PS3/Xbos lol... trailer is awesome... but yeah, u CANT really cross sword with a lightsaber without having ur sword melted, come on!

it just seems like the duo will be a little overpowered. but if theyre not, ill b dissapointed anyway...

sotu1 · 10th Jan 2008, 14:44

woo! yoda n vader limited to Xbox and PS3 only! woo! I'll be playing the wii version cuz i CAN'T STAND star wars. it makes me wanna kill myself and vomit and eat little babies whenever i hear that bloody inhaler voice!

D3s3rt_F0x · 10th Jan 2008, 14:46

Soul Calibur's looking good like and has probs been best of the next gen fighters but personally Tekken, Virtua Fighter or Soul Calibur will never match up to Street Fighter 2 or Alpha 3 as there all far far far far too slow I like something where you go at it and blitz each other.

But fighting game this years going to be the new Street fighter without doubt.

Would be cool to see a new Powerstone game they were class on the dreamcast.

Darkedge · 10th Jan 2008, 14:52

Soul Cashin more like - this series has progressively screwed itself over since the sublime Dreamcast version.

Ghys · 10th Jan 2008, 15:03

ah damnit, I just made a thread inthe gaming section

guess i should have read the site

Tyinsar · 10th Jan 2008, 15:33

Yoda & Darth may sound out of place but certainly the character on the article page must be using some form of special technology or magic just to keep her costume on (or at least from coming off more).

Tomm · 10th Jan 2008, 15:33

So Vader (Evil) is on the PS3?
and Yoda (Good) is on the Xbox?

Coincidence? I think not! Although it could just be that the PS3 is black and the xbox white.

Veles · 10th Jan 2008, 16:04

No way! This is awesome!

Not true, there is a substance in the star wars universe, if you make an alloy with it it's incredibly resistant to lightsabres. It's rare though I think.

But what are you complaining about, SC has hardly been the most realistic game

Cortosis.

It's featured in KotOR where some of the swords are described as having a "Cortosis weave through the blade" to allow for sword-Vs-lightsabre combat (though even the bog-standard swords with no mention of cortosis can go up against Lightsabers without any trouble.. )

It also shows up in Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, in which the enemy 'Shadowtroopers' wore cortosis armour to give them defence against lightsabres.

Wikipedia says it was introduced in an Extended Universe novel and later adopted as EU canon (presumably because of its usefulness as a plot device

)

Paradigm Shifter · 10th Jan 2008, 17:11

Didn't really like Yoda all that much. Vader was "cooler" in the original trilogy... but with the prequels I just have visions of Anakin-the-whiny-brat, and that puts me off.

Really looking forward to a next-gen Soul Caliber, though.

LeMaltor · 10th Jan 2008, 17:12
