Soul Calibur IV Install Shrinks, Possibly Optional

Ripten writes:

"There was another amusing discovery that brought credence to Soul Calibur IV having an install fetish. Xbox.com listed the game as requiring a HDD. This has since been corrected, unlike Alone in the Dark's webpage."

it's a option.

good catch tho, I didn't even see anything about the 360 on the article at first glance.

fox026525d ago

I don't see how it could make load times faster; I don't know any fighting game that had huge load times, even in the PS2 era, loading times for fighting games were insignificant

What is the entire game installed?

Xbox.com's game info is poorly managed as some 360 fans were saying.

damrightfresh6525d ago

ps3 version is better anyways..cuz of the controllers and vader!!

I dont mind the install it will run the game better and smoother and less loading time..

power of Green 6525d ago

Thats nice... You like one charactor better than the other... I wouldn't be assuming charactors will be the only factor that will make one version better than the other though.

I don't care if you have to install or not by the way. I hope it wasn't you that dissagreed.

Have fun playing the PS3 version with its all Human charactor lineup(slightly faded) the little green fella will add some diversity and even possibly a radically different gameplay learning curve.

^ you mean jump, jump, smash one button = win?

I know i don't need to come into Open Zone if I can't stand the heat- but seriously- how do these lame arguments continue to be perpetuated? Arguing over nomenclature, arguing over semantics, arguing over rhetoric- is it too much to ask that people would spend 5 minutes doing some honest research into the subject? I like both consoles, but the PS3 is more burly- can anyone honestly disagree? The architecture is not the same as the 360 in regards to the way the games are developed, most all PS3 games already released are "copies" of the 360 architecture redone and tried to be refit- into the existing, yes superior, hardware. If someone gives you a computer and says it s better than yours, but there are no software titles to play on it... Is it better?
This is all relative to your disposable income! Console War?! Peace on Earth dictates you buy all the consoles, for full video game satisfaction. How stupid would it be if it was multi platform users trading smack talk with uni platform owners? Lets complain about how we dont have enough money while we are at it- arghhhh. Yoda vs. Darth Vader? I want both! And I dont have to say I like one more than the other because they both come from Star Wars and are part of the same picture.....can't we all just....stop misdirecting aggravation to our fellow gamer friends and start spending our energy improving overall conditions for all future gamers. Peace in the middle East.

wow they had to remove the install option in the 360 version i think they have downgraded the 360 version graphics because of the limited cores no blu ray and limited ram thats why theres no install now anyways the playstation 3 version is confirmed superior

LuHawk6525d ago

you mean the Ps3 version will be superior garbage just like you are

mboojigga6525d ago

So your getting at the fact that SC4 will break the streak of 2008's mandatory installs. Ahhh gotcha whooo hooo

Obama6525d ago

What exactly is a superior garbage? If the ps3 is a superior garbage, does that mean the 360 is an inferior garbage?

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_B1025d ago

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

purple1011025d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long1024d ago (Edited 1024d 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 …

sagapo1024d ago

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

sosro1024d ago (Edited 1024d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze1024d 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

DarXyde1023d 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?)"
