Cool.

One must ask though, great narration, or greatest narration?

Looks pretty much exactly like a re-skinned Soul Calibur IV...and I'm so sick of glowy effects when people are hit. Screw this game.

The new characters just look like reskinned versions of the old ones.

Looks the same as previous Soul Caliburs; very shiny and sterile, no dirt or blood, torn clothes or battle damage. Mechanics look the same as well. I don't find any of the characters likable or familiar; Mitsurugi looks kind of like a samurai, so there's that. Otherwise I don't care about any of them. I hope it's good, but without reviews I'm left to conclude that this game doesn't warrant much attention because it's uninspired and too similar to the prequels.

I was kinda hoping it'd be darker and grittier. Not saying this is bad, I just wanted more of a change. And really the swords have faces now? They will be full characters in SCVI

Man I hate to be the one saying this, but I'm seeing Soul Calibur III all over again. I really hope I'm wrong.

This is not Mortal Kombat. It doesn't need to be "gritty." I'd be perfectly happy if they made it a little less Marvel vs Capcom and just balanced the damn game.

Also, she said "Do you want it?"

This might be to much cheese, even for me.

Or maybe it's just not my kind of cheese? Either way my interest is lukewarm at best.

Speaking of Luke, where's Yoda?

I love me some Soul Calibur but I FUCKING HATE the goddam innane dialogue that the characters spout! Hope there is a way to turn it off or put it in japanese so I don't have to understand what they're saying.

I like Soul Calibur, but I didn't play the last one because of the Star Wars characters. Maybe this one will be better?

i dont understand the point of this game. they use all the old characters templates and basically just give them younger looking skins. they might as well have just made soul caliber origins. this is extremely dumb.

@AngelN7: Because calibur isn't a real word but it's phonetically the same as caliber, so people tend to use that first.

Also, what the fuck is the point of setting it 17 years later and then putting a characters like Pyrrha? Even if she is Sophitia's daughter, does she have to be a goddamn carbon-copy of her? And that Taki clone. Seriously, what the hell happened to creativity? This is just so stupid. Idiots.

And I LIKE the Soul series too.

Because then you will have people whining about "No Sophitia and No Taki no Soul calibur! wah-wah" the best way the could have introduce a new character while taking out and old one was that , make them look a little bit like the old charcters for old fans to have something recognizable while at the same time introducing new blood into the rooster , I actually like this idea I wouldn´t mind a SFV with Ryu and Chun-li´s son and daughter or something like that .

Kinda tired of this series. Nothing much change, not even graphically.

The shuffle of the cast is "ok".

The games looks decent though.

Looking forward to this although I've always thought the series should incorporate more weapon to weapon impact as opposed to weapon on character. Would add a level of skill and make it more realistic, if you know what I mean?

That was number two not three. Now back on topic, I like Astaroths new look, and I think the new girl looks liek an intresting character. My favorite of the announced characters so far has to be Z.W.E.I and E.I.N
