"You know what people would like . . .. a really lame realistic version of Loyd!"

::sigh::

I won't be purchasing this game that's for sure. Sorry Namco, it's SC4 or nothing. Not SC Legends & Friends.

Screw Lloyd: Give me REGAL and the power to pound enemies into pudding with my feet!

In all seriousness, I'd say give this game a rent before we poop all over it. I had heard about a more recent demonstration of the game where people said the gameplay was vastly improved over the previous demo so there might still be hope.

As for Lloyd's inclusion, I don't see how people could "mind" it. It's a character who was popular on the GC in ToS and we now have an adult version of him for this game.

Remember Mashiro, wait for my definitive impressions before doing anything rash!

I'm not buying it out of pure principle.

I refuse to be another number on a sales chart that will have the company go "see! they don't need the REAL soul calibur! we can just give them side stories with characters having nothing to do with the series! LOL!".

Sorry, not gonna do it.

What if they misinterpret the message to be that we don't want their games period? Unfortunately, voting with consumer dollars is an... up or down vote.

Yep, same feeling here!

Lloyd = pure awesome...Even with the modified look (they weren't going to keep the cel-shading, obviously) he doesn't look too bad...They could have done much worse!

LLOYD FOR SMASH BROTHERS!

I knew you would say that.

See this argument DOES NOT WORK with Namco.

Why for?

Here's why for: Soul Calibur 2 sold the most on a Nintendo platform. On the GAMECUBE for crying out loud. Yeah it had Link but it proved that the GC version could still outsell the PS2 and Xbox 360 version. Which is insane considering the GC's market share.

It was bad enough that it went solo console with SC3 on the PS2 but now it goes multi again and you mean to tell me Nintendo's wildly popular Wii doesn't deserve SC4? Dude ask Nintendo, I'm sure they will let you throw link in AGAIN Namco. It'll sell, they know it, we know it, I know it.

They don't need people to buy a crappy side story game to prove that.
 
Edit: I'm not mad at you I'm just mad at Namco and this disgusting situation we are in where GAMERS have to feel the need to VOTE with their dollars on games that aren't the mainstay in the series just so we may have hope at getting it on the Wii.

The companies should work hard to get my money by giving me what I want, not cheap side stuff.

Well, with reagrds to the whole Soul Calibur 3 debacle, there's no accounting for moneyhats. And given the whole "Is the Wii moving hardcore games" question, I do think that we can't exactly rest on the laurels of Soul Calibur 2, though that IS a great example.

Hopefully they throw in some back-story about why Lloyd is there...Maybe Colette got kidnapped or something!  NEEDS COLETTE, TOO!

I agree that Namco has their head up their ass, but I frankly wouldn't have even bothered to rent SC3 or 4 because I know it's just more of the same fighting game which I got bored with on the DC.

Legends might be something different and for that reason I'll give it a try, but I do agree that this "exclude one console" nonsense has got to go.

Nope . . . the only thing that would make me remotely interested in this game is if it was a full blow action adventure title with a rich telling of the events occurring between Soul Calibur 3 and 4 involving many of the characters.

Oh and LLOYD getting in over KILIK is a freaking slap in the face at this point.

Gamesradar has a couple of new screens and I must say, I'm pretty impressed with the progress! Plenty of shots of Llyod in action as well.

http://www.gamesradar.com/us/wii/game/images/index.jsp?releaseId=2007051116136868000&page=1

I still think they could do more work on the shadows, but it looks like they're using bump mapping on the rock walls in one of the screens (image number 6). Either that or they spent tons of polygons on the cliff. The metal shaders look pretty solid as well.

Oh and boo Llyod, but I will agree some of the shots do look nicer than previous ones.
