IGN: Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny Hands-On

Edge of Destiny takes place in Japan in the year 1791. The game pulls from characters throughout the franchise, which means you have a very healthy collection of samurai, ninja, feisty princesses, old men and a bunch of other crazy fighters. Edge of Destiny is actually one of the most recently released Samurai Shodown games in Japan, having been developed by K2 (which has since been acquired by Capcom). Edge of Destiny is very different from other entries in the franchise, as the game uses 3D character models and backgrounds. The game is also, surprisingly, a 360 exclusive. Intriguing.

It's like bang the drum slowly, but in this case the drum is a chick.

BeaRye5124d ago

I love the boobs o_0 but mina has white hair

GunShotEddy5124d ago

Some of the girls have white hair. But to be honest I would take the chick without the white wig on (One in the pic above). She is FINE!

yeah been waiting to see how this game was. Tired of these release day reviews publishers force on some people - I like to know ahead of time.

Anyway, looks like the game isnt too bad.

JasonXE5134d ago

I think they just do that to protect day 1 sales

Blaze9295134d ago

pretty good read. might go pick this up today

JasonXE5134d ago

I think I'll go for Super Street Fighter IV isntead

Blaze9295134d ago

true...plus its $10 cheaper than this. What exactly is new in SSFIV anyway? I played the original.

AridSpider5134d ago

some new fighters, modes, fighting system has been modified, and i think a bunch of other new stuff. Is it worth it if you have/played the original SFIV? That's what I want to find out

Blaze9295134d ago

ahh so I guess it cant just come out as DLC for the original version then huh?

JasonXE5134d ago

I'd guess no because of the new tweaks.

AridSpider5134d ago

yeah I think they already confirmed they can't do that

It's fun though - at least that's what counts.

ProA0075136d ago

doubt it'll be much fun getting frustrated at the 360's dpad

AridSpider5136d ago

Yeah but after the beautiful art style that is Street Fighter IV, anything less is just...meh. Of course, that's just my opinion

dangert125136d ago

with the 360 dpad and beat em ups?
i love virtua fighter and don't have any problems :S

Krimmson5133d ago

Seeing that you called fighting games Beat 'em Ups, I'm going to assume that you're possibly from the UK.
Now I obviously could be wrong about where you live, but if you are from the UK then there's a chance you might have the updated European 360 controller, which is almost identical. to the US 360 controller. Almost.

The one difference is that the d-pad for Europe has been updated to respond a lot better in terms of diagonals and better input.

Now of coarse there's the highly likely chance that you don't have one and just feel comfortable with the 360 controller and resulting in me looking like a jackass.

Online is a ghost town currently though

JasonXE5136d ago

Well it isn't out yet. So all you got to go against are people oversees.

ProA0075136d ago

wish this was coming out on PS3 - can't wait fighting games with that awful dpad the 360 controller uses.

JasonXE5136d ago

that street fighter stick by Madcatz isn't bad at all. I'd suggest getting one of those if you game on the 360

boodybandit5136d ago

I have a Madcatz TE stick for both consoles and never had a problem with them. Even if I run into one all the parts are replaceable.
You can get replacement parts from http://www.lizardlickamusem...

As a fighting game nut since the 90s ill be getting this . id like to see garou:mark of the wolves on xbla psn. the samurai showdown game ever.period. and fot those of you yappin on about the p*ss poor d pad on the 360...

http://www.play-asia.com/pa...

put your money wjere your mouth is ...i get sick of hearing people complaining about there d pads on line when i kick there whiney *sses!
the ps3 pad aint no better.I have an akuma sf4 pad and a hori HRAP witch ive had customized with some m.bison art work. Ive also changed the buttons and stick to superior equivalent parts.Its really east to do...

http://forums.shoryuken.com...

even the art work part is easy to do you just need to do some basic diy

http://www.shoryuken.com/sh...

this goes for those of you that own ps3s aswell, rember my hrap is for my ps3 though i will be getting one for my 360 as i can swap out parts to make it make it respond better than my TE

oh for parts:

http://www.gremlinsolutions...

stick with sanwa and seimitsu parts as the parts are generally just plug and play.

im gonna make another one for my 360 as my hrap actually feels more precise than my TE...im thinking of using transformers as the inspiration...hmmm..im gonna share this with you guys ....tell me what you think. decepticon theme with black a purple ball on the stick ,grey buttons with purple ringlets around them on the top row of buttons . purple buttons with black ringlets around them for the bottom row. the art work woul have a white background with a decepticon logo and megatron posing..bad*ss! i better to get to work on it..

sorry for the long post folks. fighting games always get me talking.i just love the competetive nature of them coupled with depth and the steep learning curves. They punish the undiciplined and reward those who persivere with awsome reflexes and speed of thought.throw a punch at me on virtua fighter and ill have a counter or parry waiting for you, not a passive block!

I hope my post was useful for any of you guys thats interested in modding joysticks or just want use something better than the 360 pad . i dont think i would have beaten megaman 9 with out my TE. the 360 pads awful as ya`ll know.

jetlian5136d ago
