PreviousPenumbra expansion "download only" PS3 CoD4 maps slip to May 1 in Europe  Next

Soul Calibur IV dated - July 31

Simultaneous launch for PS3, 360. Tons of awesome media inside
Ubisoft has told CVG that it will ship Soul Calibur IV simultaneously for PS3 and 360 on July 31 in all PAL regions. Now take a look at 58 awesome images.

Permission to drool all over the carpet, keyboard, or person next to you on the train if you're a flash git with an iPhone (although they're coming down in price soon - HA!).

In case you've forgot the game's got legendary Star Wars icons Darth Vader and Yoda in it, which already makes it a winner in our book. The full, official list from Ubisoft, reads as:

Ever Expanding Line-up:

  • Hilde - A striking armor-clad fighter who wields a short sword and spear making her adept at both long range strikes and short range combos
  • Scheherazade and Angol Fear - Two alluring bonus characters created specifically for the game by renowned manga artists and character designers
  • Take the Fight Online - For the first time ever, fight opponents around the world online in multiple versus modes

New Fighting System Elements:

  • Active Matching Battle: New to the Soulcalibur franchise, experience non-stop matches where opponents will try to defeat players one right after another. How enemies are strategically defeated is the key to longevity.
  • Critical Finish: Slowly fill the Soul gauge to unleash a devastating finishing move to defeat enemies once and for all with spectacular effects!
  • Equipment Destruction: Now the wages of battle are shown as protective armor can be broken off and visible lacerations of clothing can be seen.
  • Multiple Gameplay Modes - Experience Soulcalibur in Story, Arcade, Tower of Lost Souls, Training, Character Creation, and Museum modes.

Check back soon for exclusive footage of the game.

Wow! This game looks to be worth getting just for the art style alone!

Wahoo! As a big fan of the Soul Calibur series, I'm looking forward to this game. Stages in the Soul Calibur universe have always look amazing, but those character models look nothing short of stunning.

what, no Talim? Yoshimitsu? Setsuka? just 2 new poxy looking manga characters... dunno about this one, soul calibur was always great, but the last one was lacking something, it got boring quickly
leprechaun75 on 17 Apr '08
I'm sure Talim and Yoshimitsu will appear in Soul Calibur IV, they just haven't announced them yet. As for Setsuka, I don't know...
ginsin on 17 Apr '08
Games like this & Tekken & VF have all been done to death in my opinon, but if i was gonna get another Arcade fighter this would be the one!...
hollywood111 on 17 Apr '08

awesome, i'll definitely be getting this for my 360. i love kilik.
kilik was one of the cheapest characters in this along with maxi. bring on mitsurugi or however it was spelt.

I'll wait for Street Fighter 2 HD Remix thanks.

Any idea which "bonus" characters are on which console? Like xbox got spawn on the other one. Also, looking at the first few screens, how is Maxi BLOCKING A LIGHT-SABER with some poxy nunchucks??? Laughing
strong with the force young maxi is

so PAL is getting it only two days after the US. not bad at all. i'm a US gamer, and even i cringe when developers delay games for PAL territories. good to see Namco taking strides to avoid that. now Namco needs to commence releasing Yoda as dlc for the PS3 version, because that'll be the version i get, for Vader and Dualshock 3.
atrimus on 17 Apr '08
they have spoiled it with all that starwars guff.

and did they need to blow up the t**s on all the female characters?! its like a spotty pube-less nerds game now. pathetic. nowhere near the class of the dreamcast game.

This guy/girl is obviously on some sort of medication , cos i know i aint the only one who likes BIG breasts and STARWARS Twisted Evil
