One of them is the Darth Vader apprentice, but the other 3???? It maybe Kratos

Coheno6556d ago

If it's Kratos, then i'm definetly buying it! First ever current-gen Kratos, looking foreward to it!!

TheHater6556d ago

I am getting the Collector edition of this game :)

AznSniper6556d ago (Edited 6556d ago )

Is that Kratos on there at the bottom?

wAtdaFck6556d ago

no, Kratos has a red line tattoo over his left eye.

Amanosenpai6556d ago

It looks more like Marcus Fenix...

Charlie26886556d ago

That one is Zasalamel and its using the exact same face as the concept art -_-

JVIDICAN6556d ago

its the ps3 version being shown in the screen, its definately not fenix

Ri0tSquad6556d ago (Edited 6556d ago )

Looks nothing like Marcus Fenix at all. Why would he be in the PS3 version anyways? It's not Kratos either.

okcomputer6556d ago

Charlie is right, thats definitely Zasalamel. I'm going to get this game day one anyway since i'm a hugh sc fan, but I'm still hoping the kratos rumor is true.

Soul Calibur IV - 15 Years of Soul

Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.

Terry_B1042d ago

Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII

purple1011042d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long1041d ago (Edited 1041d ago )

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 …

sagapo1041d ago

Yeah, I remember playing Soul Caliber on my dreamcast at the time, that was insane!

sosro1041d ago (Edited 1041d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze1041d ago

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

DarXyde1040d ago

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

In defence of Soul Calibur 4's horrible Star Wars guest characters

From VG247: "Link suits the world of Soul Calibur. The elf-like little twink fit into the roster as well as any sword-wielding fantasy hero could – facing off against the likes of the machiavellian Frenchman Raphael, the inhuman hellspawn Astaroth, or the horny gimp Voldo, the Legend of Zelda guest character fits right in. Weaponry, aesthetic, move set… all of it gels with Soul Calibur’s camp high fantasy world – even when you’re pulling massive bombs out of God-knows-where and hurling them across the stage. It just fits.

You know what doesn’t fit, though? Lightsabers. No amount of sci-fi reasoning, magic, or blaming it on wizards can make Yoda, Darth Vader, and (eurgh) Starkiller fit in the war-torn European and Silk Road settings of Soul Calibur. It just doesn’t track. Why Bandai Namco decided to shoehorn the trio of characters into the fourth Soul Calibur game, then, remains a mystery; it’s damaging to both brands, it makes no sense canonically, and – more than anything else – it’s just all a bit tacky (or should that be Taki?)"
