Its Shura, read the article next time. People are so lazy nowadays.

TenSteps4734d ago

Or maybe the guy just wanted to have fun since the topic title asked to "Guess". Maybe he thought others would guess as well then everyone will see it together like the one big happy gaming family that we are...

minus the happy of course.

tehpees34734d ago

Shura wont be missed by me. she was just a clone

SuperSaiyan44734d ago

If its not nightmare, soul calibur would not be the same without him. The story was always about the 2 swords.

waltyftm4734d ago

Shame, Really liked her design.

hazelamy4734d ago

more importantly, will they be bringing back the character creator?
that was one of my favourite features of previous SC games.

killcycle4734d ago

The character creator in SC3 was pretty budget.

I would rather they use the time on character balance, more stages, characters and other things instead of that.

I just hope they go back to how SC3 was.

The fans actually destroyed SC4. I remember the devs saying everyone wanted SC4 to be like SC2 so thats what they did and nobody even liked it!

Maybe they were all pissed that SC3 was only on ps2 at the time.

kratos1234734d ago

man i loved sc3 but i really didnt like sc4 i just dont know why and fore my im not gonna buy a sc ever again 4 just left a pretty bad taste in my mouth

Redempteur4734d ago

SC4 is more like a HD version of soul 2 without a proper story , without goodies and with more customisation

Soul 4 is a good game but after soul 3 something flet wrong .

Story was crap , chronicles of the world ( very nice mode ) disappeared, THEY ADDED STAR WARS CHARACTERS dammit ( never again ) and the netcode wasn't very good ..the finishing moves weren't needed either.

First , keep the HD, improve the netcode, more options for customisation ( it lacked too many things ) , less dlc heavy . bring chronicles of the sword BACK BUT give me a proper Story mode ( WITH or WITHOUT QTEs ), keep the armor crushing elements if you want , more stages ( SC3 had plenty )

PandaJenkins4734d ago

I liked 2 and 4 more than 3....

ash_divine4734d ago (Edited 4734d ago )

@Redempteur

That's pretty much how I feel. I really missed chroncles of the sword, there wasn't enough customization, etc.

My only gripe with the finishing moves is that they were too difficult to pull off. Because of that, they didn't really feel apart of the game.(because no one would bother with them.)

killcycle4733d ago

@ pandajenkins

I gues you didn't have ps2

Why not just release SC2 with Hehachi?

Soulcalibur 5 will be delisted next week on PS3 and Xbox 360

Soulcalibur official Twitter: "Valiant Warriors - Soul Calibur V is taking its final curtain call on the stage of history and will be sunset on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on June 19, 2023. The base game and all associated DLC will no longer be available for purchase. Thank you for your continued support."

-Mika-315d ago

This is why guest characters shouldn't be on the base roster. Im sure Ezio and the whole Assassin's Creed stuff license expired and that is why it is being removed. The same thing is probably going to happen to Soul Calibur 6 in 10 years.

Terry_B315d ago

I doubt a lot of people still played the worst SC game over 10 years after its release on dead consoles.

blackblades315d ago

Right whoever wanted the game would've had it by now. Also physical is usually the better option

gold_drake315d ago

damn.

alot of games have been delisted recently.

Nyxus315d ago

Meanwhile several big games are going digital only. Good omen for the future...

MadLad315d ago

I've been mainly gaming on PC for 12 years now. I don't think there was ever a game that was actually taken away from me.
Even the multiplayer-focused games, with their servers typically being taken down, you can still host your own.

Not sure why People are so against digital. You still need online infrastructure just to update your games or to patch them. You're stuck to online/digital one way or another.

Nyxus315d ago

Most games play just fine without an internet connection. There are also other reason aside from preservation, digital games are often more expensive (at least the one I'm buying) than what you can find through deals in stores. But most of all I just like to be able to actually own the games as physical objects, being able to lend them out etc. And be assured that I can still play them in the future. Sure you can probably emulate them, but I prefer to play on console and I'd rather play an actual copy than an emulation anyway.

I'm not against digital in itself, I just don't want to be forced to go digital because the physical option is taken away. Just give people the option to either get it physically or digitally, that way everyone is happy and it's also the best way to preserve games for the future.

CrimsonWing69315d ago

Make your peace with it. It’s the direction the industry is going in.

XiNatsuDragnel315d ago

Well industry is pretty much dead in that case.

lucian229315d ago

Can we please get soul cal 7 a year after tekken 8?

darthv72315d ago

Good thing I have both on disc.

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.

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

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

gerbintosh338d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

CrimsonWing69338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

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

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d 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.

CrimsonWing69338d 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…

Immagaiden338d ago

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

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

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

Immagaiden338d 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?

repsahj337d ago

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

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984338d ago (Edited 338d 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

gleepot338d ago

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

repsahj337d 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.

MrNinosan338d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz338d ago

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

MrNinosan338d 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.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21338d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz338d 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.

PapaBop338d ago

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

Thundercat77338d ago

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

Immagaiden338d 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

Ezio2048338d ago

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

lodossrage338d ago (Edited 338d 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

Ezio2048338d ago

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

CS7337d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
