Lost Swords adds Astaroth, Nightmare and Pyrrha!

With Christmas around the corner, it has become obvious to anyone that the release for Lost Swords has slipped into 2014. Initially slated for release before the end of 2013, Namco-Bandai has just confirmed that the game will not get an official release till next year. Project Soul has pushed the game back in order to provide a higher quality game to it's fans.

With the bad news however, is some good news. Three new characters have been added to the roster. In addition to the previously announced Mitsurugi, Siegfried and Sophitia; Astaroth, Nightmare and Pyrrha will also be playable upon the game's release. How do you guys feel about the choice of new characters? Did they add your favorite character? Are you disappointed at the addition of yet another sword and shield character?

I'm just glad they're going to experiment with low-skill crazy super power gem based soul calibur outside of Soul calibur 6.

On the plus side, namco recognizes the demand for soul calibur, be it low-budget casual or not.

 

Project Soul has pushed the game back in order to provide a higher quality game to it's fans.

The only item of higher quality I'm interested in is online play (with decent netcode).

The way I see it is Namco slapped us on one side of the face with SC5 not having decent single player content, then they slapped us on the other side with this not having multiplayer content.

 

My 360 broke and i have no intention of buying a new one. That being said I really hope at some point this comes to PC as it has no 3d fighters. I think it would do very well on Steam.

 

It's a slap in the face to the player base to not even have offline VS mode.

To be fair, Tekken Revolution doesn't have offline VS mode either.

If both games had this feature, it would nullify the whole point of it being free to play.

People wouldn't be spending as much and Namco wouldn't be coming up with more gimmicks in an attempt to maintain relevance for the titles (Get enough blood seals fighting online and you unlock a D-cup version of Eliza).

 

as it has no 3d fighters

Oh YESSS it does...Look up Injustice on steam.

Hopefully SC6 will be as broken as this :)

I hope your joking. If SC6 were as broken as this then the game would be pathetic competitively. So no, I don't hope SC6 will be like this. This game is for fun casualness, not the main series.

Lol definitely joking.

 

I am going to be livid if there is no Talim.

Yes I agree, does anyone know if Talim will be in this series?

Talim fell in a ditch and died im sorry

 

I'm sure she'll appear in a fine lines of text in some character's backstory or - if we pray hard enough - her weapons might appear in the background of one of the stages.

 

Strangely I don't fully understand this...
