Why make it PS2 exclusive. Why. Why why why.

This is probably slightly old news now, but I saw no topic, so...

I hope it's like Viewtiful Joe was 'exclusive' to Gamecube (then got released later on PS2). Because otherwise I'll have to buy one of the damn things just for one game. DAMN YOU NAMCO!!

http://www.gamespot.com/ps2/action/soulcaliburiii/preview_6121001.html

And, of course...

http://soulcalibur3.namco.com/story.php

Check out the high-resolution character art. Mmyum. Scythe guy 'Zasalamel' looks neat, and the girl in the skimpy outfit, Tira.. Well.

Other than that, Raphael, Cassandra, Ivy, Astaroth, Voldo, Taki and Mitsurugi are of course back. Jolly dee. I assume the rest are there too (Nightmare is mentioned on the website, and is in the logo), except the exclusives, of course.

Damn you Namco.

Anyway, from the trailer it seems to use the same engine from SCII, just modified. And there's a 'create a character' mode. O.o''

On an only vaguely related point, finding high-res art of the characters from SCII is IMPOSSIBLE. Bleh.

Well it can be benefitual if they're making it for one system, so they can focus on that alone and not have to worry about porting it to other consoles.

Then again though, the PS2?

That was the worst version of SC2.

Oh well, it still looks pretty cool.

BTW, wasn't the Gamecube version of Soul Calibur 2 the one who sold the most?

Some say it was because of Link.

Who cares, it still was good (and I prefered it to the PS2 one).

I think it was GC, then Xbox, then PS2. The game itself sold well over all three systems of course.

Me thinks it will be "exclusive" rather than simply exclusive, but we'll see. Depends how much money Sony tossed at them.

Its a shitacular idea to have it for ps2 since SCII had the worst graphics, and minor slowdown on the system.

I'm actually glad it's on PS2, because of the sheer reason that PS2 > XBOX > GCN. And their prooobably gonna spiff it up for the PS2 because of the fact that they dont have to develop for everyone.

Tell me about it.

Yes, the PS2 was in third place graphics-wise (and you could argue exclusive-wise), but it's the same flipping game. The mechanics are exactly the same, so unless you had 2/3 systems and wanted to pick and choose...

CAPTAIN OBVIOUS TO THE RESCUE!

Err... DOH! My username on this board is NOT Captain Obvious!... well, too bad I guess!

Anyway...

The PS2 is the least powerful, Xbox is the most powerful, Gamecube is in the middle.

PS2 has FF (blah!), Metal Gear Solid (not so blah), and other titles I don't quite remember.

Xbox has Halo, Halo 2, and... err... Halo.

Gamecube has SSBM, Metroid Prime, Legend of Zelda, Resident Evil, Eternal Darkness, Super Mario Sunshine, and lots of other games I won't name.

My opinion is: Gamecube > PS2 > Xbox

...

But this is my opinion.

The real anwser is:

=THIS THREAD HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY FANBOYS. ARE YOU A BAD ENOUGH DUDE TO RESCUE THE THREAD?=

FF > Zelda, Mario Sunshine SUCKED, and I'm not a fan of Metroid Prime, really.

Sure, I'd like to play RE, but I probably wouldn't anyway. They're all fun, for a couple months, but then *generic crap*

And on that note, I'm done.

Yes, game wars are.

WHEN THEY ARE THE SAME FUCKING GENRE OR SERIES!

Example of what I know will occur:

"OMG FF IS TOTTALLY NOT LIKE THE SP:LNTER CELL! THEY ARE BOTH CRAPPY RTSES AND FPSES, BUT FF IS TOTALLY THE BETTER STEALTH ACTION GAME! LOLOLOL"

Be quiet now and talk about something relevant to Soul Calibur III, and deal with it being on PS2. Maybe, if you're so enthralled with the series...Buy a PS2.

Its a proven fact, God hates fanboys.

I dont know what the hell namco was thinking, I am sure something will turn around though.

Or we could just complain until they start releasing it on the other consoles. It's worked in the past, I must say.

As for the console wars going on here... All of you shut up, especially you TheMageous, you started it with your PS2 > Xbox > GC nonsense. This is about SCIII, the only things you should be complaining about console-wise is the fact that some of us might have to fork out enough money for an entire console just to play the next game in the series.

It seems especially rude to Nintendo after the whole Triforce thing and working with them on StarFox Assault.

Anyway, enough about that crap, lets talk about the GAME. About the lack of Talim; from the trailer, Tira appears to have a very similar voice to her. Maybe she's been replaced?

Nightmare is definitely in it, there's a glimpse of two costume designs in the trailer, although he actually looks like Sigurd, before he became Nightmare (or his third outfit in SCII).
Oh, wait, I just noticed some more concept art in the trailer, this time of Talim, and Cervantes was there too. I also noticed someone fighting with a stick during some motion capturing, so Kilik is probably there. The other was fighting in what looked like Yunsung's style (and with a sword), although it might of been Xianghua's actually.
I'm prepared to bet all the old SCII characters are in, actually, although maybe not Charade.

Gameplay wise, you see rocks from the ground blasted into the air when Misturugi smashes Taki into them (which certainly looks impressive if nothing else), and you see an arena surrounded by a wooden fence which breaks if hit hard enough, which is an interesting concept.
