FYI, VGchartz has this at 1.14 million copies sold. Considering that the site seems to be overestimating a lot of games, this stock could be overvalued at this point.
Like a disturbance in the force, you knew it was coming. With the official announcement popping out for the Japanese market last week, today we hear that Darth Vader and Yoda will be made available as downloadable characters for Soul Calibur IV in the US as well. Which means 360 owners can play as Vader, PS3 owners, as Yoda. Both will be available on October 23 - same day as Japan - and will cost 400 MS Points/USD$5.
You're surprised? Please, don't be. When Namco Bandai released the multi-platform Soulcalibur IV, the PS3 got Darth Vader and the Xbox 360 got Yoda. Now you can get both thanks to the magic of DLC and capitalism. Ah, bless capitalism.
Soulcalibur IV is a lot of fun and I highly recommend it, especially to fans of the series. The game runs well, looks beautiful, sports great music and obviously has enjoyable combat. PS3 and 360 versions are just about identical (barring differing guest characters), though I felt that the optional install on the PS3 made things feel even quicker and more polished. In the end, both are worthy members of a long-standing series and you won't be disappointed with the purchase.
"But for all the game's technical excellence, sumptuous graphics and epic soundtrack, Soulcalibur IV also serves to remind us just how bereft of basic innovation the one-on-one fight genre has become. Were it not for the customisation and online options, this would essentially be an HD rendition of previous games."
A bunch (and we mean a bunch) of new Soulcalibur IV screens have popped up. These are screens that show things like the game's Single Player Mode menu, Arcade Mode, Training Mode, VS Mode, Museum, Character Creation and a comic as well.
Soulcalibur 4 is now available to pre-order and there are some fantastic deals to get special items when you pre-order. Read on to find out where you can score an exclusive face plate or pre-order tin with bonus disc and art booklet.
