So they did the HD version of the poorest quality version? (PS2). Good thing I still own my GC version, looks better than this, they cut out the blur that hides the flaws, looks kinda bleh. Resident Evil 4 HD did a good job of making it look clean without looking worse (imo).

zerocrossing3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

Soul Calibur 3 would have been the better choice IMO, the second one just felt very lacking in content.

(Edit)

But what about Character customisation? Character builder? Chronicles of the sword mode? Alternate paths in story mode, and arguable the best combat and line up of original fighters the series has seen to date?

Don't get me wrong, I really liked Soul Calibur 2 on GC, playing as Link was awesome, but I always felt the game was one of the weakest in the series. Soul Calibur 3 just feels more nostalgic to me.

TALIM!!! played SC2 and SC3 the most, but SC2 feelsl more nostalgic. hope this makes it's way onto next gen consoles

Kevlar0093906d ago

SC2 is one of the best fighting games, period. Weapon Master mode beats anything I've ever played in a fighting game, it was a full fledged story with tons of replayability. If you had the GC ver. you had Link and it was an overall great game with the best looking Nightmare and Soul Edge. It's timeless really.

HammadTheBeast3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

In terms of content, the "Story" mode could've been much better. However, the gameplay, line-up, and balance of Soul Calibur 2 is unmatched.

Raphael, Mitsurugi, Link, and Taki, some of the best characters in the game.

Team Vs. Is also one of the best modes I've played.

Also. The Soundtrack is one of the best I've heard, and the stages were really nice as well.

Ivy looked bad-ass in SC2 before they gave her that ridiculous bust size.

Oh the good old days when Kilik actually looked cool. It Sucks that their not making a Wii U version Link was the best.

MWH3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

yesh, SC2's Mitsurugi had the worst model, completely changed his appearance to some sort of Mongol. with all due respect to the Mongols but Mitsurugi was supposed to have a Japanese/Anime look.

anyway, they fixed it afterword.. but they broke the game instead.. at least in the last installment.

i simply dont like the game running on unreal engine.. every one looks like they bathed in baby oil

PurpHerbison2282d ago

I seem to notice that with damn near every unreal game these days. Why is that? Like everything has this small coat of blur. Where is the clarity?

OoglyBoogly2283d ago

Don't really care for the new model and I also find it a bit lazy that they're using the same animations since the FIRST Soul Calibur 16 years ago...

blackblades2283d ago

This isn't news at all, not even a opinion.

I think the proportions are correct, so now how about some Ivy ? ;)

SavageKuma2389d ago

I honestly want a Kalik figure. They did do Nightmare recently as well.

INMATEofARKHAM2388d ago

Yeah, I was a bit surprised they started with Nightmare... I figured the ladies would sale better.

Vhampir2389d ago

For the low low price of $435 you too can have a statue of Taki. F4F has outrageous pricing. Especially for how cheap their figures look.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI2389d ago

It's not made of a plastic. $400ish is a typical price range for statues like this

SavageKuma2389d ago

This is all made for collectors. These Statues are done with high quality, it is not an action figure or something less made.

CrimsonWing692388d ago

How does that look cheap exactly!?

SavageKuma2388d ago

Thats what I would like to know too. This figure does not look cheap at all.

kakashi812389d ago

Those prices though...I'm getting SF5 Ken and 3rd Strike Ryu action figures. Lol

AnubisG2389d ago

Ahhhh.... once I win on the lottery.

DivineAssault 2389d ago

It looks incredible but im not blasting $400-$500 on this..

Dreamcast and cube versions simply amazing:)

TheROsingleB2511d ago

GC was definitely my preferred version. So many hours in that game.
It never came out for Dreamcast, however, the version that WAS in development for the DC ended up being ported to the PS2.
