Namco Bandai talks Soul Calibur 4: dark black Vader on PS3, green Yoda on 360 |
Ó
Nobody expected Namco Bandai to actually bring Star Wars characters to Soul Calibur 4 (Microsoft Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3), but now that it did, a few questions are hanging in the air. While SC4's product marketing manager Wayne Shiu didn't say how Darth Vader and Yoda will fight, he did explain the reason behind separating the two as exclusives on their respective platforms.When asked why Namco Bandai decided not to put two characters together, Shiu told Siliconera, "With Soul Calibur 2 we had platform exclusive characters, but this time around we wanted to give each platform a signature character."
As to how the developers picked who goes to what platform, he explained, "We decided to bring Vader to the PS3 because he's dark and black. Then Yoda went to the Xbox 360 because he's green."
Shiu did say that things can change since Soul Calibur 4 haven't seen its release yet, and didn't deny the possibility of putting characters up for download if players really want to see the Jedi master fight the dark lord. However, he doesn't see cross-platform matches between PS3 and Xbox 360 as something likely to happen.

vader is kooler! (I dont like starwars either.. --_--)
PS3 has Vader!!!! now that's what i'm talking about!!!!! for Soul Caliber 4 it's the PS3 FTMFW!!!!!! (no offense to the Yoda lovers or 360 owners)... but on my 52" Bravia playing this hi res next gen game Vader is gonna tear it up!!!!! i can't wait to see him bringing it on my big screen!!!! things just got way meaner!!!
Same here! I can't wait to play this on my 60" Sony SXRD! I still think it is a load of crap though if they don't put both Vader and Yoda on both versions. Oh well, one of the best fighting series ever and I can't wait to own a copy of #IV!
Hrm. Unfortunately, you'll have to buy both versions of Soul Calibur 4 if you like both Vader and Yoda. >.
how do you fight yoda though??? it's gonna be like swatting a fly... you see how in the movie he's just freakin everywhere man!!!! atleast Vader is a bigger and more conventional target... they should put some ewoks there too so that yoda won't feel like a midget...
A friend of mine suggested it was subliminal targeting: Vader is evil, and he represents the PS3 version, while Yoda is good, and he's kicking in it on the 360 version. I told my friend he was an idiot, but it did surprise me that I haven't seen more people trying to point this out.
offering the other character as DLC would be a wise move on their part... but still... vader! woo!
hell yea im on the dark side. Ahh dosnt mean its a bad thing tho.
"he doesn't see cross-platform matches between PS3 and Xbox 360 as something likely to happen." Because of MS' closed crap ass network, duh !
Don't underestimate the power of the dark side of the force.
does it still have a dude with nunchucks? Soul Blade made my days but from then i stuck with tekken.
His name would be Maxi, and he has yet to be announced as a playable character yet, hopefully so, that dude was crazy.
I always called maxi "tampon", after the infamous "maxi-pad"... that and the plausibility of him actually wearing them too. Maxi FTL...
