Soul Calibur V Trailer Shows Spectator Mode and Text Chat Lobby System

Shoryuken: SoulCaliburTV uploaded a new trailer for Soul Calibur V that shows off the main features of the game. Perhaps most interesting is the slight glimpse we get at the online mode. It shows a lobby system with spectator support and what appears to be text chat capabilities. Hopefully we’ll get some more details once Namco makes an official announcement.

4get the disagree's its my personal opinion i love the game been plying it from ps2 times.

It's about time.

Sometimes you just want to watch other people fight or the CPU.

I like to go online to see what characters other people have created anyway.

All this game needs now is blood.

AngelicIceDiamond4892d ago

Yes finally an upgrade! Soulcal 4's wasn't terrible it worked when it came out in 08 lol. But lets face it, it is very outdated now that u come back to it. Project Soul had me scared, I thought they were bringing us the same online features the 4th one had. Luckily that's not the case.

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."

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_B727d ago

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

blackblades727d ago

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

gold_drake727d ago

damn.

alot of games have been delisted recently.

Nyxus727d ago

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

MadLad727d 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.

Nyxus727d 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.

CrimsonWing69727d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel727d ago

Well industry is pretty much dead in that case.

lucian229727d ago

darthv72727d ago

Ranking The Soulcalibur Games From Worst To Best

Bandai Namco's other premier fighting game series, Soulcalibur, has been around for over 25 years, but what game is the best?

Really loved Soulcalibur on Dreamcast. Truly blew all competition away back then when it came to graphics and fluidity, and I liked the roster and arenas.

Haven’t bothered with the newest release because sadly fighting games these days have become too expensive. They’ll release a base-game, then add all the interesting characters through expensive season passes, so unless there’s a Complete Edition released (and if I’m still interested in the game by then), I’m better off just shrugging my shoulders and skipping it completely.

The direction the fighting game genre has picked for itself means it will now only appeal and sell to the hardcore fans of the genre, while the mainstream gamers will spend their money elsewhere.

FinalFantasyFanatic1404d ago

I played Soul Calibur 2 on the PS2, it was great and I got pretty good at it, decimated most of my friends at that game. I recently got VI on the PS4 and it just doesn't have the same magic, plus it seems to have stuffed some extra mechanics in there that just complicate it too much for me, although I really do agree they're too expensive, I've always wanted to get all the DLC characters for Central Fiction, but it's way too expensive.

Kaze881404d ago

I prefer SC VI to the SC III. SC II had a really fast pace for a fighting game, when new SC III bursted into the scene it felt sluggish when compared to the second one. On SC VI they brought back the quicker pace of the game, but not as much on SC II, though I think it was a good decision. I wish they would go the MK11 route with their games, but we all know that Bandai Namco is not interested, they hardly gave the devs time and money to support SC VI.
