Pwetty Sophitia (http://www.holymango.com/soulcalibur2_3.jpg) :D

Err... Huzzah for the bland textures. Soul Calibur looks better, IMO.

Meh, prolly just cruddy captures.  I was expecting more though.  At least it will play better then dead or alive (any version) though.

... You\'re probably right. I\'ll wait until we get some better screenies before I judge.

Where did these screenshots come from? The arcade version running on NAOMI 2?

Thanks for the pics,
On what system is this running on?
I reserve judgment until i play it, though it looks ok so far.
Is it me or does it a bit more cartoonish then SC? :eek:

System 246 I believe. That means PS2 right?

I don\'t follow. What do screenshots of SC2 have to do w/ the DC?

On another note, SC2 is yet another disappointment. That has PS2 limited-textures written all over it. Doesn\'t matter if it\'s on GC, it\'s derived off System 246. SC on DC has much sharper textures.

Ugh, the reason SC had good graphics was because of the textures mostly.  These aren\'t looking so good...

Yeah...PS2 has a major problem with textures. I mean...look at ICO...:rolleyes: Give me a break...the PS2 is capable...they just don\'t have it down yet. Let\'s just wait and see what comes up...

I\'m sick of waiting for developers to use the \'magic streaming\' to create up to par textures. The best textures used in a PS2 game are no match for the best textures used in a DC game. It\'s f\'cking pathetic.

Namco has released the first official screenshots from Soul Calibur 2. The screens are from the arcade version of the game, which is running on Sony\'s PS2-compatible system-246 arcade board. At this stage the game is quite early in development, but as reported Namco is expected to announce at today\'s Space World event that the company will port a version of the game to the Nintendo GameCube. GameSpot will be at the show and will bring you complete details

Ahhhhrrr!! hope this is not the final vision, as the DC vision lookes 10.000 times better, these screenshots looks like something on the N64.

Sorry thats the furthest thing from the truth.... N64 game ????

one thing for sure is there is a big increase in polygons compared to Soul Calibur 1 on the DC

Backgrounds look decent but also has areas where textures need improvement

Overall textures just need to be cleaned up and we\'ve seen this in alot of PS2 games, high  res textures usually get added in more towards the end of development

Lets see what this game looks  like in a few months

I honestly can\'t say the textures in the DC version where much if any better, and the Arcade/PS2  version is still 6+ months off from release
