Soul Calibur V Japanese Trailer and Alternate Costume Screenshots

Namco has released a new Japanese trailer and a bunch of new screenshots for the soon to be released Soul Calibur V. The trailer goes over all the known features of the game, from guest character Ezio to character creation to the online mode. It also details how to get the pre-order bonuses in Japan. Meanwhile, the screenshots show of more of the characters alternate costumes (including the previously revealed ones designed by Bayonetta’s Mari Shimazaki).

    When you want to play a fighting game with solid gameplay mechanics, you play Tekken.  When you want to button mash, play Barbie Dress Up, and stare at titties and ass, you play Soul Calibur.

      Button…mash?

      Lol, you have never played Soul Calibur on any type of high level if thats what it is to you.

        Even the guy making this game said he wanted to make it even easier to play, as if it wasn’t already.

          So easier to play means you can mash and win?  You’re probably terrible at every fighter you play with a mentality like that.  Ryu is easy to play, mash 2 win?

            Considering the game was already easy to play, how much easier can it get?  The fact they rushed this game out the door doesn’t help.

            Easy to learn, hard to master is one of the most tried and true gameplay designs in history. There’s a reason chess has been played for thousands of years.

            A game that was in development for over 2 years was rushed out the door?

    Unnecessarily overdone latin-choir music, Siegfried in Pandora Mode, Ivy and other returning characters not looking a day over 25 despite the timeline, Pyrra doing her fragile daterape-victim archetype bit again (I hear the Japanese find that sexy), sidestep being overdramatically advertised and a large focus on character customization and online play. Oh, and tits.

    Yep. This game is shaping up to be nothing but forgettable, just like SCIV.

      who cares, it’ll be pretty fun. What’s $60 for a game that I’ll play for hours?  Then again, I actually like fighting games… seems like that is a rare thing around SRK these days.

    Clothes or no clothes, Ivy looks good. I think she’s the best looking here than I’ve ever seen her look.

    And, is it just, me, but does Patroklos look like Anakin Skywalker in the fact to anyone else?

    I’m not really hyped for this game and I can’t understand why. I like the series and was flipping my shit over the fourth one so much I had to pick one up that broke the release date. But I don’t feel the hype at all with this one. It’s so strange… Don’t get me wrong though, I’m still buying this day one and probably pour in some hours on it. Just wanted to rant a little that’s all haha.

    • Anonymous

      Interesting, since its the opposite for me. I had no hype whatsoever for IV, but for some reason this one just looks so much better to me. I thinks it because of two reasons:

      1.No Star Wars characters (3 slots? Really?)
      2. My friend got his hands on it for a good while ( Mains Tira) and said he really liked the new feel to it.
