Title: Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Caliber 4
Post by: otakuapprentice on January 09, 2008, 10:10:40 PM
its just like the title says; Darth Vader will be in the PS3 version of Soul Caliber IV, and Yoda will be in the Xbox 360 version, respectively.

No kidding, I was reading about that just now, dude!!! I'm totally be using Darth Vader, I just hoping he's not a broken characters but then again he might cause of the force and there's no way you can block a lightsaber.

This looked so dumb when I first saw it...  It makes me kinda go, "Great..." WHY NAMCO?

It's unbelievable...  I think I'm going to cringe when I see more gameplay of the two. This is all becoming just so silly. D:

Wow... the game isn't ruined by a long shot but still...

at least Spawn kinda fit the mythology of the series but this? WTF.

they're pretty much like what was done with SC2, where they had Link on the Gamecube, Spawn on the Xbox, and Heihachi on the PS2; they're just there to play as them, not for them to directly affect the storyline...hence why they are 'secret characters', or should now be known as 'unlockable characters'.

And in both instances, the idea was/is a stupid one.  It would've been better to take a Soul Calibur game engine and create a whole new Star Wars game around it rather than trying to shoehorn Vader and Yoda into Soul Calibur.

And for all we know, the PS3 will get the prequel version of Vader :P

yea at first i saw this i didnt belive and then i saw the video and i was laughing my butt off. it doesn fit at all with the time period and how it is set up. yet at the same time its kewl to play around with. too bad vader wasnt for both consoles. i would of love to play as vader in the game but i have a xbox360 so i get yoda. but i am more intrested in other characters though and this jst adds a little spice into the mix. not enough to give your burn your tongue but enough to make it jump.

Raphael now looks like he is from Castlevania or something.

As farfetch'd as it sounds... I really would have liked Alucard or Dante in SC4. They would have fit very well and could have fit in the time periods.

Princess Zelda w/ sword would have been awesome!

it CANT JUST be ps3 & xbox 360...

they might as well keep up the tradition and put it on ALL 3 next gen systems...

Think about it

Vader = Black ps3 system

Yoda = Xbox360 Greenish system/logo

Zelda = Wii mostly white system

it has to happen.
please make it happen Jesus.

thats my only wish for 2008 :3

As much as I'd love to see Zelda, I doubt they'd ahve her if it came to the Wii. They'd probably bring Luke or Obi-wan. >_<

I'm actually really excited for this game.  The graphics are well done and there are supposed to less ring outs, which made the other games really annoying at times.  It's basically a union of two of my geek sides coming together for blood adn mayhem.  Ivy and Darth Vader equal absolute win.

I wished Namco would take this series seriously again. -.-
