A Soul Calibur Trilogy HD Collection is possible

Soul Calibur Director doesnt rule out the possibility of an SC HD Collection release

Warprincess1164685d ago

Hm... i don't think hd collections would work well for fighting games since the latest titles are always better. For example, if it includes SC1-SC3. Most people will play SC3 because of the customization, more characters, and levels.

Deadman_Senji4685d ago

So? 3 games on one disc is a steal. Quit being a naysayer.

A lot of people would love to play soul calibur 2 again as well.

ABizzel14685d ago

You can buy all 3 games for under $20 right now, so the only benefit would be online play and trophies/achievements which would be enough for some people. And to be honest the Soul games are some of the best looking games from last gen so it wouldn't look bad by any standards.

Personally I wouldn't buy it, I'd rather save my money for Soul Cali. 5.

Cenobia4685d ago

@Deadman

You would actually buy this? The stories in fighting games are always crap and the gameplay is going to be virtually the same in each iteration (or you already know which is best, so you will really only play one).

Even if you would buy it, almost no one else would. If they want to do a remake, they should pick one and make it a PSN/XBL release.

Deadman_Senji4685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

Hell yeah I'd buy it. I don't have an SDTV anymore, I've upgraded them all...actually they broke over time. I can't comfortably play PS2 games anymore man. I'd love to be able to play SC2 and SC3 again without having to deal with jaggies and the apsect ratio just sucking balls.

Moerdigan4685d ago

you can never go wrong with having the actual option to play older games but optimized to play on HD TVs.
You don't have to get the collection, but It's nice to know you can if you want it without having to buy from collectors.

spunkee3114685d ago

Disagree completely. A lot of people didn't like 3. But like the comment below said. Having 3 games on one disc is a steal. I would certainly love and play all 3.

Soul Calibur 2 is the best in terms of gameplay but I don't think it'll happen.

Well if they release it at the right time, like now.

Godmars2904685d ago

Action adventure titles, FPS and certainly RPG could do with HD makeovers, but best a fighter got a whole new version. Not just a face-lift.

Vegivo4685d ago

I wouldnt mind playing Soul Calibur 2 with updated visuals BEST in the series IMO

FlintGREY4685d ago

Give me Soul Blade in HD instead, and I'll be happy

Vegivo4685d ago

Well since we already got SC1 on XBLA why not Soul Edge? ;)

FlintGREY4685d ago

Nah....Soul Blade is the one I want.

Why not just release SC2 with Hehachi?

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz335d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh335d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21335d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69335d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden335d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21335d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden335d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj334d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot334d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj334d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz335d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan335d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21335d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz335d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop335d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77335d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden335d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048335d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage335d ago (Edited 335d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048335d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7334d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.

"Let Me Solo Her" Receives A Special Award From Namco Bandai For His 1000th Victory Against Malenia

Immersed Gamer writes: "Let Me Solo Her is a legendary Elden Ring player who mastered one of the most infamous bosses to help his fellow tarnished via co-op. And for his service, he received an award from Namco Bandai to commemorate his 1,000th victory. The reward in question is a real, and extremely dope, custom-made sword.

Malenia is regarded as the hardest boss in Elden Ring, and the relentless Tarnished has defended literally thousands of hosts against this malice. Let Me Solo Her apparently passed 2,000 Malenia kills a while back, but it’s hard to measure the exact count he is at now. Bandai Namco sent the gift his way when he was at around 1,000 kills. But due to the nature of the object, it got stuck in customs for a while!"
