Soul Calibur V Preview by Peter

PALGN Preview: A tale of souls and swords...

To my mind, this is a fighting series in need of a drastic shake-up. I love the gameplay, but it hasn't changed enough over the past decade for me to jump in again.

Soul Calibur 5 looks good, but I'm not sure why I would be interested if I already own Soul Calibur 4.

Time will tell!

^ I feel the same way Michael. Generally speaking, I'm worn out on the series. Although there is nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't have the lasting appeal of others, for example, Street Fighter.

That said, if it lives up to expectations, I may pick it up on a sale.

honestly I think this is a really missed opportunity. When King of Fighters (With Garou: MOTW) and Street Fighter (With SF 3) both did the time skips. They both did it by completly ditching the main cast and re-inventing there cast except for the mainstays. (Terry in MOTW, Ryu and Ken in SF3) And I was kind of hoping they'd do the same for this. Maybe just have Mitsurugi and Nightmare or something and give us an entire cast of new characters other then that.

Namco are the recycle kings.

I was disspointed to see that SC5 is basically the same characters but re-skinned. Why did they bother!

HOWEVER, I'll see buy this and enjoy. The music always gets me.

I find it pretty annoying when people cannot distinguish the differences between games. SCV plays very differently to SCIV.

I see nothing written about the new Just Guard, Critical Edge, Brave Edge, Guard Crush and Guard Impact systems. How are we as readers meant to judge this game without even knowing HOW the game is different besides stating the obvious of, 'there are ring outs to capitalise upon for quick victories and walls to trap opponents' or 'models are more detailed than ever before'. Like, really?

I get that it's a preview but at least do some research before writing something that makes you look as though you have no idea what you're talking about. Just my 2 cents.

ya know I get wear you guys are comming from and all. But you have to take into account that an article like this isn't specifically aimed at us. This isn't Shoryuken or Eventhubs. It's a general gaming site. And so an article has to be interesting to the general gaming public.

It's more a "Hey here's what this game is showing" for the guys and gals who spend there time on FPS games or playing the immense 50hr JRPGs.
