GameTap says that 2008 is loaded with more fisticuffs than a Las Vegas cage fight:
"For the past few years, we've only needed a single hand to count the number of new and interesting fighting games being released each year--especially if we didn't count the near annual re-release of certain vintage titles. This year, however, looks to be drastically different; the planets seem to be aligned and are bringing with them a ton of incredible new games. From Japanese homebrew projects turned arcade superstars to the return of the icon, 2008 is loaded with more fisticuffs than a Las Vegas cage fight."
Assassin's Creed's Ezio and The Witcher's Geralt have been excellent guest characters in the Soul Calibur series.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.
Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII
Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …
Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though
2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes
I'm so glad fighting and adventure games are making a comeback. They're two of my favorite and most cerebral genres. Now all we need are for the companies to work with ggpo.net to get us some lag free fights, then I will be in super fighting bliss.
am glad that they are making fighters its my second most liked genre next to rpg and i hope sometime in the future they remake marvel vs capcom 2 that would be awesome in the mean time i will be playing tekken and soul calibur
KIMBO SLICE FTW!
Have been playing them for years. I'm so happy to see a new high res (ps3 only?) King Of The Fighters XII. Killer! SNK PLAYMORE keeping the 2d alive.
but soulcalibur does look very much like the
previous version.nonetheless,should still be fun.
