Soul Calibur 4 Gains Another Star Wars Character

by Chris Faylor, Jun 05, 2008 6:17pm PDT

It seems that Yoda and Darth Vader won't be the only Star Wars characters featured in the latest entry of Project Soul's long-running fighting series Soul Calibur.

Publisher Namco Bandai today revealed that the two will be joined by the Force-wielding Secret Apprentice, the main character from LucasArts' upcoming action title Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

According to GameSpot, the Secret Apprentice will be the only Star Wars character to appear in both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases of Soul Calibur IV. Yoda is exclusive to the Xbox 360 version and Vader only appears in the PS3 edition.

Sporting online multiplayer--a first for the series--Soul Calibur 4 hits PlayStation and Xbox 360 on July 29. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed follows on September 16, with PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and PSP editions in tow.

Super Star Wars Bros. Brawl. Oh and the reason the other fighters can withstand lightsaber attacks? There armor has been forged with Cortosis, an element that resists the energy used by lightsabers (though not the impact force).

All this Starwars shit in the soul caliber universe is a bit too silly for me but if it's already a done deal they should at least go with Darth Maul. What the fuck are they thinking anyway... lightsaber vs. steel? I wish the Berserk manga/anime was more popular. Griffith, Gatsu and Caska would be perfect for Soul Caliber.

I vote for a PC version w/Darth Caedus (aka, Jacen Solo).

doing the small exclusive content thing on either platform is just plain stupid.

Nope, I don't think it compares with the R* DLC for GTA IV. (There, It's not just a single char, which makes a lot more sense (in the console-world of stupidity sense @ exclusivity). For the record - I do hope that PS3 owners gets their hands on the DLC for that eventually also.]s

Why doesn't Namco just make a Star Wars game? I mean, they are mixing their series up to so much now. Hell, might as well throw in Pac-man and DigDug.

I was looking forward to this game for so long, but then they kept adding more and more giant tits all over the place and it's making it less and less likely I'll be able to play it as much as I want with those flying around all over the place without getting some dirty looks
