Graphics aside, how does it play? Like a Soul Calibur should. The developer has decided, wisely, not to fix a game that's not broken.
As with many fighting game sequels, Soulcalibur IV is not only prettier, it's faster than its predecessor. Moves are lightning quick in the build we played, but the game's speed, not obscenely fast, may still be in the tweaking stages. The game's director asked us, after a lengthy gameplay session, how we felt about Soulcalibur IV's speed implying that it was up for discussion.......
Company reps said that Soulcalibur IV has been "completely recreated for both the PS3 and Xbox 360," and introduces several innovations. Obviously, high-definition graphics, but also a "completely new battle system," an expanded customization mode in which gamers can personalize their character and change the way they interact, as well as what they do, but also take these fully-tailored creations online. And finally, an all-new storyline that will reveal some big secrets that will "blow your mind." ........

New scan from Famitsu(?) of a new character (Another girl).
Interesting...
Not sure what to think. She's definitely unique and "different" for the SC universe. Wonder why so many new chraacters are girls though. XD
Not that that's a bad thing, I think it's great, but... I expect new characters of both genders. In SCIII, we got two new girls and one guy. Now we got 3 girls so far, and no guy.
