Bout’ time I found this thread anyways I find myself not as excited for SCV as I should be; from what I understand it was only created when pushed by the SC community (8wr?) Idk why I guess it just looks like Soul Calibur IV but with more flashiness. I’m not seeing how they are making the game “faster”. It looks like it runs on the same engine as 4 which is my least favorite SC by far (even if it is the only one i’m good at lol). Still though I’m happy mah boi Siegfried is still around instead of being replaced by a son/daughter/apprentice of sorts.
Rumor is that the new host of Nightmare (if it is a host or it’s own body like in III and IV) is Sophitia. That would be, interesting. and the new nightmare design I approve of it reminds me of his “Knight” style armor like in II and III except for his helmet which to me was the most defining point of Nightmare besides of course his demonic arm it still looks a bit, awkward.
Well I guess i’m a pedo too for Japanese creations. What?! it’s their fault for making their age disproportional to their appearance.
^ Same, hoping for a female NIghtmare of sorts but looking at his (Soul Edge is male iirc) current model it’s looking like not. Unless it’s one of those really bulky armor that you can’t tell it’s gender.
Depends, for all we know, Sophitia may have the actual sword since there have been mentions of Soul Edge being a shorter blade and we’ve heard her talking in a rather sinister manner in one of the trailers. After all, Nightmare can exist as a separate entity from the main blade.
huh? All they have to do to make the game faster is increase movement speed, increase attack speed, and decrease blockstun. This is what they’ve done, and it looks in between the speeds of SCII and SCIII.
Also I’m not so sure about them only creating the game because of the petition on 8WR. Some quotes like one from CyberConnect, the company doing the game’s story, are leading us to believe that they’ve been working on this game for almost two years now.
I have not played SC reguarly in a year, so from the gameplay videos I didn’t see that it got faster. I guess though it definitely IS faster than 4 which was slow as molasses; I know that they could do it just didn’t see the actual changes. Two years eh? Well then excuse me and props to Namco then.
Ezio looks rocking. I think he’s the most fitting guest character yet. He’s got the moves, the elaborate and detailed costume, the rougish good looks… definitely SC material.
With the reveals of Raphael and now Ezio Auditore da Firenze can honestly say I am super hyped for this game!
Fine! Mysterious musketeer. Better than pouty face metro vampire IMO. I hope with the musketeer motif and the cool hat Raph will be restored to his SCII levels of rugal badassery.
pfft Ezio got nothing on Siegfried he shall fall at my feet!
I have a friend of mine who will most likely be fangasming all over the place when he watches this the guy’s never played a SC game before. But i’m sure he will once this comes out being a big fan of AC he is and all.
I agree with him fitting in the game more so than other guest characters; makes me wonder how Ezio will fair against supernatrual beings. Are critical finishes still in this game because I imagine his just being a hidden blade stab.
Damn I have never played a single AC game yet I found myself oddly excited about this. Especially after that trailer. Can’t wait to see what else Namco has in store.
