Namco Bandai still continues to deliver to gamers unadulterated melee fighting action with the upcoming Soul Calibur IV (Xbox 360, PS3). With its preview during the Tokyo Game Show 2007, gamers across the country were given a good amount of eye candy with what the series will be like on the next-gen platform.

In a video interview with the director of Soul Calibur IV, Katsutoshi Sasaki, he talked about just some of the characters that will be making their way into the sequel of their popular fighting game. He also mentioned about the multiplayer aspect and some of the new features that they will be including in the game.

Sasaki gave particular attention to Hilda, one of the new characters in Soul Calibur IV. Of course old time veterans such as Cassandra and Voldo will be making their next-gen comeback as well. He also mentions that they have a lot of plans for the multiplayer aspect, but most of them are up in the air so far.

However, Sasaki stressed that the most important thing that he wanted to have was to build a strong online community and fan base to strengthen the popularity of the game. He also mentioned a couple of tidbits about whether or not they might include platform specific characters for Soul Calibur IV (similar to a playable Link in Soul Calibur II for the Nintendo GameCube). He also hinted about a new game system and a even a new gauge which ties directly into this.
