Same here. For some reason I'm on the fence with this game

The fact that it was rushed...and there are obvious signs...3 mimics, Talim's and Zasalamel's style taken out among others, online and CaS being the only redeeming features from the looks of it...it just isn't worth $80

Edit: and before you ask, yes, I said $80, because the only thing making me wanna buy the game right now was the CE...but really, the only thing I care for from the CE is the Artbook and Soundtrack...but I usually pay $60 for that stuff with NISA, so it wasn't worth it to me...I also don't buy fighting games on day 1 usually anyways

Won't they all be happy...

It's starting to make me think that it was because of the Bandai merger with Namco that made these guys multi-plat all of their games to all these platforms. Tekken 6 on the Xbox 360 was the weirdest thing I have ever seen...

Also a shame how they half-arsed the PS3 version of SCIV by not adding trophies. Not that I really care (much) about trophies, it's still a sign of neglect. Seems to me that some wacko is pushing the devs to develop for platforms other than the PS3...

In my honest opinion, the Sega Dreamcast was the only exception, but then again your mileage may vary on that. The Soul Series started on Sony hardware, and it should at least deserve as much attention to the fullest on Sony hardware. Just my two cents...

The PS3 version of Soulcalibur 4 came out before trophies were required. The series has never been Sony exclusive either.

It "technically" was during the early days. All of the arcade games of the Soul Series used PlayStation hardware. Then Namco moved development of the SC home port from PS1 to Dreamcast because it was definitely the better hardware at the time (it was actually due to the PS1 having a problem dealing with Ivy's whip-form of her weapon).

When SCII came about, the "guest character" gimmick thing they had going on for all three consoles sprang. It was funny how Link for the Gamecube port was easily a game breaking character for Weapon Master Mode...

SCIII was only available for the PS2 for some odd reason, and this time around, the home version was released first before the arcade edition came out.

Now, here we are today, with the Soul Series going all over the place...

Best Buy shipped my copy the other day.

Also that does remind me of when I got pokemon gale of darkness before it came out at walmart

I got the pick up your game tomorrow voice mail. Instead of Ashley telling you the game can be picked up at Gamestop tomorrow, Ivy tells you.
