The more I think about it, the more I'm thinking, LucasArts owns one character that would fit in this game way better than Darth Vader...

You know, I stopped carrying about Calibur when the developers admitted that when they designed Soul Calibur 3 they didn't care about balance the gameplay/characters because it was a straight to home console game and people wouldn't feel cheated out of their quarter.

So basically, they didn't care as much about the game because it wasn't in the arcade? They would just rather design cool moves with little to no balance? Geez great.

Well, they said they learned their mistake for SC4, but I don't trust them anymore. Soul Calibur 2 will be the last great game in that series.

Woah woah woah! Spak, any link to that? I believe you, I just want to see it for myself. If thats the case, I am so dissapointed. I read about balance issues in part 3 but never played it that much. The series that inspired my entire direction in life... and its come to this. At least I have 2 to fall back on for fond memories.

Yeah I've heard this too and it would explain why Soul Calibur 3 was so unbalanced and broken. But everything that has been shown for SC4 makes it look like it'll be even worse. The Soul Calibur series has pretty much become nothing more then a joke now. All Namco really cares about is how large they can increase the chest sizes of all the women in an effort to appeal to the horny teenage male audience. The fact that they've put Yoda and Darth Vader into the game only helps to strengthen that argument since large breast and Star Wars are bond to get young mens attention. And the sad thing is, the game will probobly sell well because of these facts as well.

Now Soul Calibur 4 could actually end up being good, but the fact that so far Namco has done nothing but focus on style instead of showing us any real substance doesn't give me any faith in this one turning out well either. The way this series is going, I fully expect a Soul Calibur Extreme Beach Volleyball game to be announced by 2009.

Even if they didn't say it, they expressed it in the game itself. SC3 was broken beyond belief. To the point where a lot of SC veterans who played in the tournament scene around here dropped the series like a bad habit over it. IMO, the whole series didn't have that great of an engine to begin with. The only reason a lot of people started saying anything now is because beforehand you could sort of work with it, but SC3 really exposed the BS of the series tenfold while somehow adding it's own crap on top of it. No matter what they say, the core engine itself is not going to be changed all that much because it would set off the fanbase. Adding Yoda and Darth Vader just confirms to me what they plan on doing with the game. Fixing the engine and balance overall isn't one of those things.

I read somewhere that Yoda would be downloadable on the 360 and vice versa with Vader on the PS3. I imagine that each system will have a timed exclusive before being able to purchase the other one through PSN or Live. Of course, don't quote me on that.

Not to site whore too much, but here is a comic that my friends and I did when they first made the announcement:

Balance Issues. A few dared suggest he should be a boss character but then the game would be unbeatable.
