Weeeee, crappy game gets crappier!

[AlphaDragoon02]

Online AND the Create-A-Fighter's coming back? NICE. Already sounds better than Tekken "we fell off" 6.

[kev_the_bev]

Sounds good. Now I'll just hope for Tekken 6 with online play to reach the Xbox 360... :crybaby:

[Dios <-X->]

Sah-WEET

[AR-15]

I heard that SCIII was a piece of crap. I can't imagine if this is gonna happen with the sequel. Personally I own one and two, never play the third entrie though.

[Darkside3024]

It took them long enough.

[CarpeNoctumXIII]

Finally. Now let's hope they can build a playable game this time.

[AlphaDragoon02]

What you mean is, let's not pull the same shit we're pulling with Tekken 6 and Soul Calibur 3 where we don't do testing and "hope" it's okay.

[Ephidel]

Oh fuck yeah, they need this shit so badly after 3 it's unbelievable.

However, this definately makes me want to buy it even more.

[Xero Kaiser]

Namco finally gets with the program

[KING]

Sounds good. Now I'll just hope for Tekken 6 with online play to reach the Xbox 360... :crybaby:

Namco is Sony's bitch; don't count on it.

[Eduardo24]

Namco was Sony´s bitch because their of their software selling extremely well on their consoles, nothing more nothing less.

Namco is loyal to no one, so it wouldn´t surprise me to see Tekken ported to the 360.

Oh and people that already got EGM (containing a SC4 14-page article) are already pointing things that some might find anoying:

-It seems the health gauge will be changed in some way. You´ll be able to be able to beat your oponents without involving the health gauge or Ring outs. WTF.

-SC3 will be taken as the base for SC4.

[n8archer_XI]

SC4 going online is the a sign of the ultimate evolution of fighting games. All we need now is an online VF...

[mepaphoros]

All we need now is an online VF...

"Wait for E3" (?)

[HuStLeMaN17]

Yes Great News!!!!!

DESTROYED

[dbostick]

Well, I guess it won't be such a surprise when they announce online for Tekken 6.

[axeman61]

I'm not ecstatic for an online version of what could easily be a glitchy game (they're still doing that "port directly to home") thing, but taking a shot at it isn't bad. Maybe if they get their feet in the water and it isn't bad, online play can gradually evolve.

[Tigerboi]

Everyone: please calm down about the port straight to home. Consoles are fully ONLINE now. That means *gasp* they can release patches! That and it's being based off the arcade version of sc3. not the console version.

okay it will be terrible pack your bags up folks.

"Wait for E3" (?)Or wait for the Gamespot rumor (http://www.the-magicbox.com/0706/game070626b.shtml) concerning the online-enabled VF5 XB360 port?

[coffeerox]

there are pics out now for Soul Calibur IV. Looks absolutely amazing. I'm going to be all up over this. Especially now that it has online, there can actually be a real SC community after the travesty that was III. I used to play tournament II, that game was great, but for some odd ****ing reason they threw the II engine away, remade into III and didn't beta test it worth a damn. Oh and I'm selling my VF5 copy in protest.

[Onslaught2000]

I honestly don't know what to think.

On one hand, the release date is at least a good half year away (which is probably how long it took to make SC3) so it gives it sometime to playtest and balance it a little and what-not.

But on the other hand, from what I hear what Namco is doing with their fighters (heard they are doing really random things with T6, and they are not releasing another version after the first one) only makes me think that it will not turn out to be a decent game. Also bringing back create a character, just makes me feel like they are once again going to focus on 1 player modes instead of the overall title.

Those boobs on Ivy are just asking for latency...
