i wish i wanted to play it. but i HATE 3D FIGHTERS

Last one I played was Soul Calibur II. Haven't been interested since then.

I hate all fighting games but that is because I am terrible at them. I think my 9 month old son could beat me and all he does with my controllers is chew on them if he gets one but I still believe he would have a chance to beat me.

Soul Calibur IV wasn't bad, but I can't say I'm particularly excited for SCV

Have you played a Soul Calibur before, by chance? I'm not sure what the difference is exactly, but in my case, it's the one exception to the rule that I find all 3D fighters to be garbage.

No interest. Mortal Kombat is about the only fighting game I find even remotely interesting. I can appreciate watching a match every now and then, but mastering fighting mechanics using characters with comically oversized anatomy isn't something that strikes my fancy.

lol, irony.

am excite!!!

not interested at all. SCIV turned me off the series completely

no talim no sale

Kind of interested. I hope it has lots of boobs with neat physics.

Not at all, on the other hand I do like boobs and I heard that Soul Calibur V has a lot of them...

I would be more excited for it if I didn't realize from the trailers that they ripped almost every animation from SCIV.

I really enjoyed Soul Calibur II back in the day but when my friends started bringing SCIV around, it didn't look exciting at all, especially with that horrible Star Wars stage (awful music loop). I find Ivy disgusting and the gameplay feels clunky and slow to me ...

So I don't really care at all about Soul Calibur 5..

No. The only SC game I've ever been excited for was II and that was due in large part because of Link.

Very excited. I like Soul Calibur and DOA fighting games. I can play them and have fun. I suck at Capcom fighting games. They aren't much fun for me. I'm very "casual" about the whole genre. I'm eager to see what I can come up with in SCV's create a character, too.

If it doesn't have that god-awful mechanic of "wear a bunch of stupid shit to make your character better!" and you can make characters look the way you want to, this game may be alright. There's still someone with Raphael's moveset, right?

yep, Raphael.

Seriously torn on this, never really played SC past a few matches on my buddies old gamecube, that being said, the character creator stuff seems really neat, and I'd like to give a 3d fighter a try.

@Levianth: yah this is one I'd wait on the reviews for, but if you're new to 3D fighting games it's a better choice then TTT2.

I'm in a tough spot on this game since I think I have low expectations of it, but I have a friend who I played SC with in college who says he wants to compete on it and isn't willing to go back and re-unlock characters in an older SoulCalibur.

I hope the GB guys do a Quick Look with SCV. Namco has been so stingy with info it's worrisome.

It seems like GB is more interested in fighters than most and there was always a good dialog when SFF and MK released - granted both were solid reboots of long standing classics. Someone up front summed it up - unless it is a Capcom retred most of the world doesn't notice. Games like KOF are not heard of on most sites so it was nice to see Jeff & Ryan give it some QL love.

Like some others have said, SCV doesn't look like it is going to be the much needed franchise reboot. It looks a lot like a re-skinned and tweaked SC4 (aka the worst SC game in the series). I am a huge fighting fan but SC4 stung so I am likely to sit on the fence and wait for reviews. If SCV turns out to be as feature lacking as it is sounding then I'll just pick it up when it hits the bargain bin. I appreciate the tweaks to the fighting engine but I'm not a tournament player so my purchase timing is irrelevant.

I'll probably buy it. I probably shouldn't, but I played so much SCII and SCIII back in the day that it almost demands I at least check it out.

Naaah. Soul Calibur was what I used to get my modern fighting game rocks off before they got big again. Now I have MK9 and SSFIV, and I got back into MvC2, so I don't really need a janky, poor man's fighting game. Besides, those games got pretty bad after 2.

I dont care about this or any other fighting game.

@Devoid: Equipment had no effect on your stats in regular game modes. It only made your character better in some of the bonus modes. I assume SCV will be the same.

I'm curios, but after 4 I kind of want to keep my distance.

I'm excited, just like I was when IV came, but my gaming schedule is too tight at the moment, or will be in the upcoming days.

Been playing since 2. Interested to see what they've done with it this time but the lack of info is quite worrisome. Also, quite saddening that some characters aren't returning like Talim (why?!?!).

Not at all. I think it's such a superficial fighting system and tends to rely on mashing instead of actual skill.

There are definitely better fighting franchises out there... Arc Systemworks, Capcom and SNK are the best developers.

@supamon: Probably development time. The director has been shockingly candid about the fact that Namco has been pushing him to get the game out quickly.

I didn't think I was that excited but after a simple art video, that really has nothing to do with the game I am!

Wake me up when Last Blade 3 comes out.

Finally someone with some goddamn taste. You might be going to sleep for a very, very long time, though.

I am excited to watch it at Road to EVO majors and EVO itself.

But to play it? If you take the Capcom games out of the equation, I'm more excited to play KOFXIII and Tekken Tag 2 (when I eventually buy a stick of course).

Pumped, have it preordered.

Mine will arrive tomorrow, hyyyyyyyyyyyyyyype
