Soulcalibur, the second Bandai Namco 3D swords-and-souls fighting game for arcades and the Sega Dreamcast (remember, Soul Edge in 1996 was the first) revolutionized the 3D fighting game world. You can’t change too much and too little gaming fans will know whether you’re deviating or just half-assing it.Ĭase in point: the 3D weapons-based fighting game seriesÂ Soulcalibur and its sequels. However, if its foundations are already solid, it’s hard to deviate from them. You would think game developers have an easy time succeeding their past works given the technology that exists today. I’ll add in my thoughts on online play a few days after it’s out. Plus, there’s no one to play with at this point in time. No disconnects save for some rage quit moments because some people cannot deal with my “cheap” Sophitia/Seong Mi-na tactics.Âĭisclaimer: I haven’t tried out network play yet since the rest of the world will only be getting this game on Friday 19th October. Update: I have tried out network play and so far it’s good stuff when fighting against Japanese/Singaporean/Malaysian players on LAN cable. Genre: 3D fighting game where weapons don’t instantly maim people
