IGN will be presenting a stream this afternoon for Soulcalibur V, where they will provide viewers an early look at the game and show a new boss that has yet to be seen. They will be playing matches for an hour, answering questions via Twitter, and giving away copies of the game.
FilthieRich will also be in attendance, so click here to tune in once the broadcast goes live.
Maximilian, who produces The Online Warrior and Assist Me video series for Marvel Vs Capcom 3, posted his thoughts on the upcoming release of Soulcalibur V. In this video, he talks about his background in Soulcalibur, shares his excitement for Soulcalibur V, and gives a shoutout to 8wayrun.com.
Are you as excited for the release of Soulcalibur V as Maximilian is? Are you excited about SCV for the same reasons? Check out the video and leave a comment.
The raffle is now over! Congratulations to the winners, you have been emailed!
I would like to put together a 24/7 live stream for SC5, the same way SRK has their 24/7 channel. Unfortunately to do this, I'm going to have to set up another streaming setup at my house. So in order to make sure I have enough funds for this I'm going to have a donation drive/raffle.
MarkMan from MadCatz has graciously gifted us a pair of these new sticks. So what I'm doing is, starting right now until next month, everyone who donates $5 will be entered into the raffle for one of these sticks. You are free to donate more and buy additional raffle entries at $5 each. The MSRP of these sticks is $159.99, so this is your chance to get one for cheap.
For Soulcalibur fans in the United Kingdom, to celebrate the launch of Soulcalibur V, Namco Bandai is teaming up with Gamespot for a launch event as they search for the top players in the UK.
This launch event will takes place on Saturday, February 4th, 2012 at The Chapel Bar in Islington from 12PM – 6PM GMT, and will be streamed live on Twitch TV. Mad Catz will also be in attendance showing off their latest Soulcalibur V Soul Edition Arcade sticks. Ryan Hart and Kayane will also be attendance providing tips and partaking in matches.
Soulcalibur V comes out on January 31! A week before the special occasion, Namco Bandai will be hosting a open-door pre-release party in the hometown of their US headquarters, San Francisco. As I said, its an open door event; but because of size of the venue, they will start closing the doors when they reach capacity.
So if you find yourself bored on a Tuesday night in San Francisco; you should stop on by. Attendees will be some of the first to get their hands on exclusive Soulcalibur swag, and get the chance to meet the people responsible Soulcalibur V. Myself and Malice will also be in attendance!
While checking Destructoid's latest video which briefly touches on their criticism of the latest ad for Soulcalibur V, it was also mentioned that they will be streaming their hands-on of the game on their Twitch TV show Mash Tactics.
You can catch this episode of Mash Tactics live at 4PM Pacific on Monday, January 9th, 2012. Also, FilthieRich has something special planned for this broadcast, so you can find additional details and a link to the stream archive can be found after the break.
For a while, I was hoping that this type of collaboration would take place for Soulcalibur V in Northern California, and now it is official. Haunts over at iPlayWinner has announced that they are teaming up with FilthieRich to give people in the NorCal area an early crack at Soulcalibur V, which will be held on Sunday, January 8th at SouthTown Arcade in San Francisco, California.
For those who are unable to attend, iPlayWinner will also be running a stream starting at 6PM Pacific. Additional details and an embed of the stream can be found after the break.
