There are reviews on gaming sites and impressions are good.Perhaps the best fighting available on any console.It got a 8.5 from gamespot.
Has any of you guys bought it?I d like to hear impressions directly from you.THE TRUE GAMER!!:p :)
-
they should have called it soul calibur 1.5
-
Do you have it mm?
-
OPS2 mag in the UK gave it a 10/10!
-
I never played SC 1. I just had soul blade on ps1 so it\'ll be fairly fresh to me. Although ign and gamespy both say the game plays almost identical to the original.
-
I will buy the PS2 version.. I dont support male camel toes (SCII Link) :p
-
I\'ll get for GC. I prefer link over heihachi. Nah, the gc version looks faster, smother and nicer.
-
The three versions are about the same graphics wise. The xbox version supports higher res HDTV though.

All of them have minor frameloss :(
-
Fast - you\'re on crack. Every place has compared them and the PS2 ad the worse reviews of all..
Slow loading..
Frame loss , when sparks appear..
Blurry textures (as you can see in that pic)
And lamest character of all..
I havent picked any up - but I imagine I\'lll get the Xbox version, and use the S-pad .. The only thing the PS2 version had goin\' for it was the control pad - and from what I understand the S-pad isn\'t so bad for Soul Calibur..
To bad realy, I wanted the NGC version, but I can\'t break down and use the NGc for the game.
-
Those reviews may be true but ill still get the ps2 version. I hate the fact that Hiatchi is in it. I wish they could have bought the rights to put Dante or somebody in SCII. I personally like the idea of playing with link over spawn but thats only cause i know his move set and not spawns.
Anyway, I dont trust too many opintions except my own so IF i do by this game, ill be sure to pick up the ps2 version.
-
Heihachi is gay Link is gay Spawn is gay and the whole dumbass idea of guest characters is \'will & grace\' gay.
I picked up the S controller yesterday and it works pretty well for bloody roar extreme. Haven\'t tried out the analog controls but the white/black buttons are sort of sunken in making them harder to hit.

True. The series really doesnt need them. It just makes it feel lame and that they had to have some other standout attration to make more sales.

Thats ghey. Estimated, what percent of games use the black and white buttons out of the games you\'ve played?
-
Well so far I\'ve only used it on Bloody Roar extreme (I just got it yesterday). That game uses the black button but not too often. Haven\'t played Halo with it yet either. I don\'t know that it\'s really that big of a pain but I will have to train my hand to remember where it\'s at. But I think the trade-off is worth it for the d-pad.

There is such a big difference? :(
I thought it was almost non existent:crying:
-
So
Link = GC
Tekken dude = PS
and spawn = xbox?
Ahhh gay, spawn ownzors

The difference in graphics are MINIMAL.
All versions have frameloss (according to GameSpot)
PS2 has the most sharp textures far away ( the other versions use mipmapping? You can see in the pictures, look 2-3 meters in the background.), maybe they are more blurry up close (hard to tell, looks about the same to me)
Lamest character? No, the only character of the bonus one to fit in with the rest of the game.
PS2 = version best for me :) :D
-
BTW:You talked about frame-loss.I dont remember any frame-loss on my friends XBOX.He got the japaneese version months ago.
I think that issue is almost non existent.

Its very rare I think.. Only happens on a few stages, I doubt you\'ll notice it without really looking.
Still the minor graphical details wont have me spending an extra 100SEK (for GC version). :)
-
I guess slower loading is a bonus also,eh?
-
YES it is, it allows you to go to the bathroom, make a cup of tea, jerk off to gay porn or whatever. ;)
No surely not.. Thats the biggest minus. But if its only 2-3 seconds extra, I can take it.
-
Well as long as the loding times arent as bad as those in WRC then who really gives a flying F#*k

Man that annoyed the shit out of me in the original.
I\'d rather medium textures all over, rather than good textures under your feet, and shit textures a few feet away.
-
I give a "f**k". I own all three consoles and if I\'m goin\' to be bothered to play the game, I want the best version and that is apparently, for once , the Xbox.
If the NGC had a better controller, I\'d pick that version up..As it stands tho..
Xbox > NGC > PS2
-
This is like comparing Coke, Pepsi, and RC Cola. Well maybe not RC Cola, but you get the idea. :)
-
OK I figured out that Spawn\'s voice is the guy who does the voice-overs for all the xbox commercials. Spawn\'s got some decent moves. The Necrid guy is somewhat interesting to watch but horrible to play. Kiliak, the dude with the Bo is a bad mamajama.
And is it just me or did they put more bounce in Taki\'s tits than every DOA game combined? I mean come on guys they are animated like wind socks.

I wouldnt know yet but it certainly does:D. Even in soul blade (edge) you can see takis tits bounce. Those were some bad ass tricks with the ps back then;).
Anyway, i only still have my ps2 left so ill get the version which we all know isnt really bad, just not as good as the others. Psh, big deal. If you have all consoles then good for you and im sure it wont be hard to decide for yourself wich version you\'ll buy :p
-
I\'m serious man, they don\'t even look like they\'re "contained" inside her top. It just looks like Namco drew a couple boobs on her and painted them red.
-
:laughing: :D nice. One of my fav characters too (no not just cause of the boobs!:rolleyes:)
-
I am a happy person today. I put off buying soul calibur 2 for almost a week thinking it would not be that great. I was wrong. A mix of soul blade and soul calibur. The only thing that is missing is damage to the weapons like blade. Oh well atleast they gave me all my weapons in arcade.
Btw I just put 4 hours straight into weapon master mode. I am so happy.:mecry:
-
How far has everyone got through weapon master mode as of yet? I have been through it one time. Now about halfway though the bonus levels after you beat it the first time.
-
Just reading in these boards how satisfyied this game makes you I feel jealous.I ll have to wait till 26th of September for the pal release. :(
-
It will happen.
-
Damn you. I guess I\'ll break down , buy an \'S\' controller and SC2 after I get off work Monday mornin\'.
-
I\'ll buy it for the boobies alone. ;)
-
I have now unlocked EVERYTHING in this game, thus officially making me "The Man". :D Some of these Weapon Master Mode Extra Stages were kinda hard, but it wasn\'t too bad.
So has anyone else done it yet?
-
I was playing it last night. I think I liked it better when you had to play each character to get their weapons. I do like it though, that you can buy other costumes and such. At first I thought the dungeons were kind of dumb but they give you a lot of fights.
The last guy on arcade mode is crap. He \'s just a big ball of fire and you can\'t see wth he\'s doing.
-
It\'s a dissapointment. The new characters suck. Inferno is lame. Weapon Master mode is not near as good as in the original Soul Blade..et..etc.
-
I got the PS2 version, because the GC controller sucks ass for fighting games. Anywayz, I haven\'t noticed any slow down. And I think gamespot gave it a fair grade.
