SoulCaliber for XBLA

Link

April 16, 2008 - At Namco Bandai' s Editors Day event in San Francisco, Namco announced plans to bring the original Soulcalibur exclusively to the Xbox Live Arcade later this year. This makes 2008 a banner year for Soulcalibur fans on Xbox 360 as the latest entrant into the series, Soulcalibur IV, is set to release July 29.

The port of the classic fighting game will feature every character and mode that the original did as well as online leaderboards. Local multiplayer matches were tossed out as a selling point, but no mention was made of any new online modes and the game was not shown in any form.

I' m more excited about this than for the 4th installment of the game!

I am so happy that they are releasing soul calibur on XBLA. My favorite fighting game.

Speaking of fighting games I got word that another big name fighting game is supposed to be announced today.I' m sure if you think about it hard enough you can figure it out. I have word from one of the guys on the development team.

Seems you got it quite right.

Never did get to play this first time around (never had a Dreamcast) but I did enjoy Sould Blade and Soul Calibur II, so come release day, I' ll be downloading this.

God I' m so smart.

Well there you go. And just as a heads up, those rumors about DC being in it are false. Especially the pic that is floating around with it. Aparently there will be no Shokans (Goro' s race) at all.

Mortal Kombat 8 was announced last year when Midway licensed UE3.0 for it. The speculation about today stemmed fom the fact that it' s Midways gamers Day event in Vegas. It could mean nothing, ...it could be a trailer. Nobody knows. It has however been under discussion on GAF for well over a week. Gamesradar are supposed to have some sort of exclusive tomorrow concerning " one of Midways biggest franchises" . It' s obviously MK8... but who really cares? The games haven' t been good since Mortal Kombat 4.

It means a teaser trailer, that' s what it means. This isn' t a rumor.

Aren' t they starting over with completely new characters or something in this one?

It' s going to basically start the series over. Some of original stars will be back but they are trying to pull away from how exaggerated the game was getting and go back to the basics. I' ve been told the characters will no longer look like " action figures" and the game as a whole will be significantly revamped. I' m really excited to see how it looks.

You didn' t read the GI interview with Ed Boon last year?

I' m not really sure, but since its about MK I doubt it. I think I remember someone mentioning it to me along time ago, or maybe on G4 or something like that.

EDIT: Didn' t see Rampage' s post.

I don' t know where the DC vs MK thing came from though. Probably some freak fanboy who' s pining for another Marvel vs DC game.

However... although the story would be rediculous... the character roster could be interesting in a game like that:

Johnny Cage
Jax
Kano
Kitana
Kung lao
Liu Kang
Mileena
Nightwolf
Noob Saibot
Raiden
Reptile
Sub Zero
Scorpion
Shao Khan
Shang Tsung
Sonya
Baraka

Bane
Batman
Doomsday
Harley Quinn
Joker
Lex Luthor
Lobo
Mr Freeze
Riddler
Poison Ivy
Scarecrow
Two face
Desaad
Superman
Nightwing
Robin

Whatever they do, I sure hope they actually make a decent fighter this time around. The old games used to be great, but once it went with the whole " 3 half-baked styles" combat engine, it went downhill.

Great

Mortal Kombat
Mortal Kombat II
Mortal Kombat 3
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (awesome!)
Mortal Kombat 4

Retarded

Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance
Mortal Kombat: Deception
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon

Mortal Kombat has made me destroy keyboards and walls

I want them to go back to their roots. They need to take a bunch of actors and dress them up as MK Characters. Take pictures of all the positions and use that as the graphics. Live 2D graphics in HD. For the really fucked up characters like Goro, make Hollywood quality 3D models and use 2D pictures of the neccessary positions for your animations. THAT would be f.ucking awesome.

lol yeah, the " photo-realistic graphics" were awesome. I would love to see that in a new mortal combat done with modern HD equipment.

Well, last time I trust my source at Midway. I' ve officially made a fool of myself. F*ck...

Very true!
And if you' re still feeling bad about it, just post the name of your source here so we can all make fun of him/her

Or cost them a job for Rampage' s embarrasment. We got your back buddy.

I like your thinking. Think it' d be possible to incorporate videos, as opposed to photographs for moves? I' m not going to bother really thinking about how you could apply that. It' s been a long week.

Holy sh!t, you guys have just come up with the idea of the decade -- FMV games! It' s the hottest thing since coin-op laser disc games of the early 1980s.

That was actually my first thought this morning when I realized he lied to me... I was going to post his AIM along with all his personal contact info so people could pester him about the game. I' d rather not burn bridges in the industry... even though he deserves it.
