Namco had a recent press event with no Tekken 6 PS3 (which stinks) but headlined by Soul Calibur IV. A whole slab of previews are now up at various web sites as well as this trailer above with some new footage (no official gameplay matches yet). The game is still coming out in July 29 with a limited edition and they are promising future DLC with costumes, weapons, etc. (maybe Darth Vader on 360 and Yoda on PS3). It still looks pretty good and while others complained about the boobage with the female characters (almost DOA quality to some of them), some are still wandering whether or not the fighting will be balanced with no arcade version to back it up like Tekken 6. Will the Critical Finishes (instant kill moves) break the game? Will online performance be pretty laggy? There are still many questions to be answered when we all play the game in July.
As if SC4 is enough, Namco announced today that the Soul Calibur 1 will be on XBLA sometime later this year (maybe around the time SC4 is out??). They might as well bring the best fighting game critically to please the fans. For now, no online multiplayer is planned for this XBLA port, but they promised HD graphics, achievements, and leaderboards will be in it. No PSN version announced yet which pissed off the PS3 fanboys and Namco themselves have been screwing the PSN for XBLA releasing their classics, but then there's still Tekken on the PS3 with DR Online and that's good enough for me since the franchise has been a staple for the Playstation brand. At least Tekken 6 is staying on PS3 for now.
