More Star Wars in Soul Calibur IV..


As if Darth Vader and Yoda are enough Star Wars in Soul Calibur IV, The Force Unleashed's protagonist is now a playable character in the Namco fighter. It seems likely he will be in both 360 and PS3 versions to balance out the Star Wars love with Vader and Yoda exclusive to a certain console. It is still too early too judge whether or not this secret apprentice has his own move set like Vader and Yoda, but it seems that way to me so far fitting in to the SC universe gameplay-wise (Yoda is indeed left field with his unorthodox style of lightsaber combat). It is still coming out next month and yet not everything is revealed or even how will the online play be implemented.

Some new SSFIIT HD Remix Footage


This is new footage of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix for XBLA and PSN which is taking forever to come out (I'm being patient for this game). It is basically a combo video and some new ones are shown that I think can't be done in the original SSFIIT. The Chun-Li stage is also shown finally in HD, which looks okay as expected. The OC Remix music is also pretty good so far too. I did play Hyper Fighting for a bit at the arcade today trying to get my SF2 skills back to par, but I'm ready to play HD Remix seriously (as if it will be my most played online game - maybe Street Fighter IV too).
