Soul Calibur IV Screens!

Storm | June 28, 2007 | Screenshots | Playstation 3 XBOX 360

Eye-appeal is buy-appeal, heh. The screens remind me of DoA4 (the glow on their costumes). The release date is still a year away, but these screens do look promising. Can't wait for more updates! With the exception of Ivy, the characters look good so far.

As promised, Electronic Gaming Monthly managed to get a first look at Soul Calibur IV, and here are the scans from the magazine. The level of detail in the graphics includes "leather straps on Ivy's thighs make real-time indentations into her skin as she fights," and even "ridiculously endowed ninja gal Taki, who demonstrates what happens now that consoles can chum out superflucous polygons to render realistic nipples under a skintight leotard."

In my opinion, Soul Calibur I is the best 3D fighting game ever released, and after two dull sequels, this one seems to bring a fresh breeze into the series. You can check out the other impressive in-game scans below.

Looking good, should be an interesting game. I wasn't too interested in the second and third game.

WOW! I haven't even gotten the third one yet, but I guess I'm going to have to skip it for this puppy. Once I get my PS3

Ivy's clothes just gets skimpier in each game, don't they?

"leather straps on Ivy's thighs make real-time indentations into her skin as she fights,"

Am I the only one who sees this as a waste of space? How does this add value to the game, unless you just get off on looking at virtual women.

Tell me how you can have hundreds of enemies on screen at once, how the game world changes real time around you, tell me something that actually adds to the game, not that some idiotic clothing detail moves around as you are fighting. No one will care after about ten minutes of watching the game. What a waste of computer power.

  I see where you're coming from, but this is a fighting game...like Tekken and Virtua Fighter. They can't really add-on much because it's the same concept: A fight between two competitors, a storyline for them, training mode, unlockables, etc.. They can only improve and expand on their movelist and such.

Ivy gained some weight.
In terms of gameplay, doesn't seem like you're getting much more from next gen than now-gen.
