Also they seem to have replaced Taki with American Taki. Why?

...
because taki would be too old (no, dont ask my why she cant use some demon hunter magic to keep her young like Ivy's alchemy keeps her young, i dont know). Supposedly this girl is taki's apprentice, so she'll play like her.

But why does she have to be a blonde American? Who, let's be honest, seems to have the exact same body and face as Taki anyway.
Perhaps... CONSPIRACY!
Also that Petrolcheese fella? I loathe him. Instantly.

Unappreciative? Charming.
Unappreciative and uninformed, yes.

I don't know, this outing looks... cheap. None of the animations seem right somehow. Everything seems rushed, even the speech.
Have you ever followed a fighting game before release? These things come last.
Example: MvC3 Deadpool use to say I heard bullets taste just like chicken! he now says BANGBANGBANGBANGBANG.

It's already been said that animation has a ways to go. If you look facial expressions aren't animated yet. Much of the Namco fighting team has been slaving away at Tekken Tag Tournament anyway.


It's almost like these gamesmakers weren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and fans should be pleased they're getting anything!
... What's that? They're making this game for money?!
Lets get this straight, they fired the team behind a 2 million copies sold game (Soul Cal 4), hired a Soul Calibur 2 SBO competitor as lead designer, for money? Both of these things are done against the interest of making money. Both of these things will likely cost them money. There's nothing in the development of this game that says cash in. Quit crying.

I could be missing out here because the last Soul Caliber I played and enjoyed and had a lot of time with was the Dreamcast one (which I think was the first one called Soul Caliber instead of Soul Blade) I tried 4 and did...not...like it. No Jedi or Sith Lord helped.

As for the new one...Mr. Horse can field my view.


I was close to saying SC5 looks very similar graphically to SC on the Dreamcast but I think that may be a bit too much. Please don't tell anyone I think that.

No. You're honestly trying to tell me that they're NOT making this game for money? I don't care about their poor decisions, they're not making this game to give it away.

And if you're so gung-ho on lambasting anyone who dares point out the sloppy animations in a trailer advertising a game, maybe they shouldn't make a trailer using the sloppy animations to advertise their game.

1) Yes, Japanese like anime characters.

2) Aye that's the fella. I don't know if it's the girly hair or what but I just... instant hatred.

all I know is her bio says she's japanese. America has nothing to do with this one (though since we're getting to that period in time, it would be nice to see a native american in the game. Give him a tomahawk and knife combo.

.... sorry, I made a native American fighter in soul Cal IV and like the idea of it.

and oka. I dont care for him much either, but i dont care for the game at all existing. it shouldnt, its simple as that really.

I was disappointed with SC4, I really loved 2 & 3, but Namco stuffed up 4 the same way they stuffed up Tekken 6,too many useless characters. I just hope SC5 exceeds 4 in every way and hope namco give's proper stories to the characters not garabage we saw in S4 in which we fought about 2 characters before fighting the last boss, same goes for the new tekken games, I want 7 to be more like 5, or rather just scrap everything from 6.

Woah, magic-orb-lady looks pretty cool. Other than that this is just another bland trailer for a decent game I'll end up buying anyway.

No, but their actions show this game is not a cash grab.

And if you're so gung-ho on lambasting anyone who dares point out the sloppy animations in a trailer advertising a game, maybe they shouldn't make a trailer using the sloppy animations to advertise their game.
Or, better idea, the public become educated on a game's development cycle, instead of getting angry about irrational things.

Looks meh, plus I didn't see nightmare.
I'll just go back to playing Soul Calibur 2, it's probably better than this one will be anyway.

I think when the guys who have been on the series since soul edge (oh yeah, dating myself here) decide after SC IV they're done,a nd the FANS have to petition for the game to be made, its solely for cash grab.

I skipped through it, but I did not see Nightmare? What the fuck is this?
That's what I'm saying, man. A Soul Calibur trailer without Knightmare? Or Siegfried? What was even the point of the trailer? &#3232;_&#3232;

... but... it did have <url=http://soulcalibur.wikia.com/wiki/Siegfried>Seigfried?

he was the guy beating the living hell out of tira (the gray haired chick with the ring blade). He's older now, since the game takes place 17 years in teh future. He doesnt have Soul Calibur anymore, so hes aging. he's also back with his group of highwaymen, which I disapprove of.

EDIT: yeah, thats him from 101 to 113 or so. You can tell cause at 113 if you pause it, you can see the scare on his eye, and hes weilding the requim, his "signature" blade after the Soul Calibur. And nightmare (theres no K in his name, mostly cause he's the opposite of a knight) was already confirmed. they'll probably do another trailer to do a soul edge theme and hsow the evil characters in more light.

Cool Avy btw, love the band, and thats probably my favorite CD by them.

I do so apologise, sir, for calling out a company promoting their product with substandard footage. It's not like I've been playing this series since the original Soul Blade and thus would like the next iteration to look decent, heavens no...
Oh wait.

Well, hell. I officially stand corrected.

WHERE'S TALIM.

If this game discludes Talim, I won't even dignify it with a Gamefly rental. SC4 sucked enough.

I'm more curious about who the crossover character(s) is/are. I read in some game magazine that they didn't have the time/power to put in everything they wanted, and I'm afraid that's going to include that particular major gimmic.
