Soul Calibur: Lost Swords on new-gen consoles? "Yeah, why not!" says Masaaki Hoshino

GR-UK writes: Lost Swords marks the next entry in the famous fighting series, and it was just launched on PlayStation 3 (more details here). Before the game's release, we caught up with Masaaki Hoshino at Level Up 2014 and talked about Soul Calibur's shift from store shelves to digital free-to-play.

During the interview we asked whether Lost Swords might ever make the transition to new-gen consoles. Hoshino-san had this to say on the matter (via a translator): "The Soul Calibur franchise has always changed to the new consoles; sometime that was the Dreamcast, sometime that was the PS2, sometime that was the Xbox 360. So it pretty much depends on how the market really wants, so if the Xbox One or the PS4 is very much moving at that time, yeah why not!"

That would be cool for PS4/XBOne owners, but lets get it working on the PS3 first.

KonsoruMasuta3651d ago (Edited 3651d ago )

No, just give us a current gen Soul Calibur 6.

I'd rather have a SC game that was built from the ground up for PS4/XboxOne.

donman13651d ago

I fully agree with you. No ports please. I want a true next generation SC game. Love the franchise.

Summons753651d ago

I agree but what's the harm in having something to occupy fans until they can get a full next gen SC6?

Gamerita3651d ago

no soul c or tekken yet for vita ?

KonsoruMasuta3651d ago (Edited 3651d ago )

We'll probably see something if sales kick up a little more. Vita has been doing (pretty) well in Japan lately. If sales pick up a little more, developers and publishers will probably take notice.

There needs to be a decent base before developers start to take risks.

Edit: Also, like PrinceofAllSaiyans said, "SSF X Tekken"

RoboticusRex3651d ago (Edited 3651d ago )

Get it on ps3/xbox360 Gen first. Although porting an error screen probably would be quick and easy.

Hopefully a console game with a new game or remastered or remake. Not a mobile game to conside with there slot machine.

Kevlar0092694d ago

Hopefully a remake of Soul Calibur 2. Weapon Master Mode is one of the greatest game modes of any game.

jwillj2k42694d ago

Id prefer a remake of the original Dreamcast Soul Calibur. The fighting mechanics were much more fluid, almost like moving art. IGN's only 10/10 fighting game till this day i think.

INMATEofARKHAM2694d ago

Likely nothing we would hope for... Love this series and wish more was done with it.

Hoffmann2694d ago

The anniversary was back in January btw.

Celebrated by yours truly together with his friends.

Dat plot in thumbnail!

Deadpooled2694d ago

Lmfaooooo that thumbnail. Those clothes must be really strong to hold them in place lol.

AnubisG2694d ago

I'd love to see a remake of Soul Blade (Soul Edge).

Hoffmann2694d ago

Same here. Including new takes on all music tracks of the original..but also with the option to listen to the original tracks from the game.

YES TO NEW SOUL CALIBUR PLZZZ!

Yukes3155d ago

Agreed, it's about time!

DualWielding3154d ago

only if they bring Sophitia and Cassandra back, otherwise I don't care

Eiyuuou3153d ago

Cassandra might be possible. But Sophitia's condition is quite hard to cure... Since, you know, she's dead?

Maple223155d ago

I enjoyed some of the older games, would be great if they were shutting this down to release a new one!

MrsNesbitt3155d ago

With a new MK and a SF it only makes sense for a new soul cal

gangsta_red3154d ago

Was not a fan of SCV but I still hope for a new SC. Played part 4 to death back in the early days.

Hoffmann3154d ago

SoulCalibur stopped to be fun after SCIII for me.
