The hottest thing... I have ever seen...
Is it true? Star Wars had made yet another edition to the up coming game Soul Calibur IV. Most gamers know about the Yoda and Darth Vader characters in the 360 and PS3 version, but guess who is now being added to both versions? Darth Vader's secret apprentice from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed!
I can understand why most Soul Calibur fans are extremely upset over the fact that the yet another character is being added to the Soul Calibur world.
I've played Soul Calibur, but I was more into Dead or Alive. So I don't know much about the series. I was talking with a friend who is a Soul Calibur fan about this new edition, and the only thing he really had to say was its the "bastardization" of Soul Calibur.
"You must realize I'm one of the many who hates the fact that games are starting to become more casual/mainstream, which no one from the Soul Calibur universe wants. The people like myself who have put hundreds of hours into soul blade, soul calibur, and SC2, its just a kick in the nuts" he explained.
I personally believe that adding these characters is a great thing. It opens the game up for a large community who probably wouldn't have thought of touching the game. But the question always comes up about balance. How can you have balance between a blade and a lightsaber? I still haven't wrapped my mind around the physics of that.
Kotaku has a video with the apprentice himself in it, which you can find here. I got shivers just watching it...
What's your opinion on this new edition to the Soul Calibur universe? (I personally love it!)
