Teaser here:
http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/soulcaliburv/video/6313122

No gameplay or anything exciting.

What do you guys think? Will this one actually improve the fighting mechanics of the first game, or will it be a further watering down of the franchise?

Soul Edge, SoulCalibur, and SoulCalibur II were awesome. But SoulCalibur III, IV, Legends, and Broken Destiny were utter shit and I am very apprehensive about getting my hopes up again.

Hopefully there are no gimmick characters, there are no major glitches, and they make the rings smaller (all the rings in IV were much larger than in previous games to help new players avoid ringouts). It seems like all the developers have been doing for the last decade is trying to think up ways to make 13 year olds buy the game (like when they made all the boobs in IV three times as big as the last game, DoA-style).

No, gimmick characters are a symptom. The biggest problem is lazy developers that are only interested in cash.

There's no excuse for SCIV having so many infinites, and in my opinion the reason there are so many is because the timing windows are so much more forgiving.

I take it that GCN version of Soul Calibur II is all I need, then? First impressions tell me that it's a fairly traditional fighting game where the inputs aren't complicated to hell for once, which is a good thing, though it's a bit awkward that they have motion inputs where up and down sidestep around your opponent.

(Well, I might have to pick up the Xbox version for 720p HD's sake, and then a Dreamcast and Soul Calibur I for further series reference...)

I must be one of the only people on this entire forum who couldn't care less about fighting games in general. We should just make a fighting game thread, shit's ridiculous.

To be honest, I'm only looking into fighting games to this extent because everyone keeps talking about them, and often to great detail.

Cube, try the new MK (demo on PSN). I'm loving it and hate most other fighting games.

Only fighting games I ever had fun with were the Dragonball Z Budukai series. Probably not considered serious fighting games, but they were fun.

The Budokai games are definitely flawed, but I had fun with them.

Burst Limit is the best DBZ game from a technical standpoint.

The Tenkaichi games sucked, though. Same with the Raging Blast games.

It'll probably be more watered down and try to copy the features of other successful fighting games. Capcom probably doesn't want to spend to much money after seeing how successful the first game was.

I hope it's good, and they should put more Nintendo characters into it. I would buy it then.

Ya know I never minded the gimmick characters as long as they at least sort of fit the game's style. I absolutely love Star Wars, but I was against Star Wars characters being thrown into SC4 from the get-go. The only one I can recall really fitting okay to me was Link. Spawn was a weird choice to. (And I'm a Spawn fan too) I think the Medieval Spawn would have fit far better Mr. McFarlane.

Though my biggest issue with SC these days, is my old gang is split apart and we don't really have time to get together and invest the time we did into the Dreamcast game way back when. No more Ivy vs Xianghua vs Kilik vs Voldo. (Rule #245B: SuperDouxSana always picks the Chinese girl)

But this will likely be another game I'm not willing to pay full price for, so whatever. (Though I don't buy anything full price anymore. But I am considering buying Catherine...) I suppose we will see.

SC4 is total horse shit. Get SC1 or SC2.
