PS2 exclusive? WTF. That is just plain stupid. They should make it for the GC and X-Box, and then release the crappy looking and slow running one on the PS2.
Think while it's still legal.

That's like saying "They should release Halo on the PS2 and GC too!". Every system has its exclusives.

it says "the game will be exclusive to the PlayStation 2 when it ships sometime this year." Which means like GTA 3, it will be only on PS2 when it ships this year.. they will probably release it on XBox and GC later.. as they did with GTA 3

Soul Cailbur II was on all 3 systems, it's stupid not to have III on all three.

*points to what spiral says*

It probably won't hurt much for sales, either. Just whet the appetites of GC and X-Box owners.

Besides, Squaresoft and Capcom switch exclusivities all the time. Nobody complains to them.

BTW, are Raphael and Kilik still dirty, dirty hobags?

Kilik was freaking amazing. Being a dirty hobag isn't always a bad thing.


I was great with ivy and kilik, but I think this new green chick with the spinny thing will be my new favorite.

SC2 was a big dissapointment, but the original SC on Dreamcast is one of the best game of all-time.

Now to go convince my friend to buy 2 arcade sticks for when this comes out...

So it's not just me that SC on Dreamcast was the best? And was it also just me that SC on Dreamcast looked much better than SC2 on any other system? Seemed a lot crisper and more high res.

It looked better than the PS2 version, for sure. But that's because the DC was ALWAYS better than the PS2, just bad marketing and idiot people.

Besides that, this PS2 exclusive:

A. SUCKS MAJORLY
B. RUINS THE SERIES
C. MAKES NO SENSE
D. BETTER COME OUT FOR PSP

(OMG, SCIII on PSP, I would die...)

Talim... please tell me Talim is still in this...



i can see the character creation ideal being something along the lines of a Talim/Taki mix of bodyparts

What the?!?!!?! PS2 exclusive!!??! I mean I have a PS2 but the fact is that it shouldn't be like that in case I decide to get an X-Box or Cube.

Ah well, nifty screenies and I hope these new characters will be awesome.

How does it ruin the series? It shouldn't at all.

PSP with SCIII... YES!!!!

Acutally now that I think about it, the series did start on the Playstation. SoulBlade if anyone remebers. That's why it probably will be PS2 exclusive for now.

Oh and I also heard a rumor about console exclusive charcters again(God no).
No sig.

I don't know why you lot are whining, theres a new game, it was only the last one that was multi-platform too....

The xbox controller is uncomfy and i dont like the layout on the GC controller so im not complaining, aswell as the fact that Ps2 is the only one I own.

SC was the best so far though, especially with those fishing rod controllers for the dreamcast, swing them and the characters swung their weapons. Dual rod faceoffs with a friend are always fun.
nope.

Yeah, I really need to go buy a rod, a dc and sc - I used to do that at a mates house.
nope.

Know why?

Because Link was the console exclusive charcter for the Cube.

2005-03-25, 6:57 AM #25
Yep.

The PS2 exclusive char was the best... I was great with him, almost as amazing as Kilik. Downside being it was hard to get in close enough against most people, but against human players... Heh. <3 those block attack break things. Grab their weapon and twist them around, then unleash that really fun combo of 3 moves that leads to 30 hits... mmmm

i want SC2 for the xbox. <3 spawn.

Played SC2 today for the first time in ages... Bah.

It's faster than SC, and every character seems to have a few (usually new) moves which are ultra-cheap. The faster pace also seems to have virtually eliminated the grab-move, which was one of my strong points in SC. Sitting back, blocking, and waiting for the right moment to launch a counter-attack is seemingly impossible, you just get pummled thanks to every character's ability to launch far too many high-low combos.

SC2 is way better than just about any other fighting game out there, but compared to the original SC it's worse in just about every single way.

Plus they re-tooled some really cool characters unecessarily! Where's Rock? And Siegfried? And I miss playing with Hwang.

Hand me my Dreamcast...

Now that I think about it, don't you think the game would be better if it was released for next generation consoles instead?
2005-03-25, 5:21 PM #32
Played some Soul Calibur 2 tonight...owned up! Then got owned... (by people).

Who says the arcade is dead ;)
