[SoulCalibur 4] PS3 gets.....Darth f***n Vader!

[MarkMono]

Yoda fighting Vader with the next-gen Soul Calibur engine would be far, far better than another Soul Calibur sequel is likely to be.

Nothing good is coming out for the Wii.

There’s a totally separate game coming for the Wii: Soul Calibur Legends.

Aye, but most of the reviews haven't exactly been stellar.

Right ok, I think I'll start a PS3 savings fund so next winter I might have a console and some of these games to play!

Welcome to the stage of history.... TO FIGHT....TO SHINE....

I like the rendering on the Vader model, I'm tempted to push the flatmates into a PS3 investment since we'll be losing the 360 in a fortnight.

This makes alot more sense now...

I’m going to be away on holiday from the day after. The game’s going to have to sit and wait for me to get back before I can start tearing you lot apart on Xbox Live.

None of the other sequels have been, why start now?

[MarkMono]

Don't get me wrong, I'll probably pick it up but I'm not expecting miracles gameplay-wise.

I do however expect it to be prettier than a fifty dollar whore on prom night.

[poprock]

I expect to break my 360 controller in frustration at it’s ropey D-pad. It’s okay though, I have a spare waiting.
