I probably wouldn't mind if he just got a couple of his old Pre-V moves back. As someone who really dug where he was at in IV, I never quite came to grips with the new moveset. Started playing Maxi and Patroklos more instead.
 
What do you guys think of there being heavy story elements? I suspect we'll get a full-fledged story mode like SCV, but with fully rendered cutscenes and hopefully better characters and a longer story. I know a lot of people are scared for what SCVI's story might be like after SCV, but we'll have to see.

I also hope there's more singleplayer content in general, since they've had the time to properly make this. Bring back museum, bring back special modes. I hope they have something in the game besides just saying "We have multiplayer, we don't need anything else!". We know CAS will be back as always, so hopefully everything is improved with all the time they've had to actually make this game.
 
Hi guyz,

I don't think many people have a lot of informations. I have few sources that gived me some info while ago, but they said that the project was very fragile and can be reworked.

I was really not convinced at first, (but got hyped by the Kilik thing and started to replay fighting games...) but I didn't want to spread bullshit that can be canceled. Now Vergeben info seems to coincide with mine.

I'am working on a video to talk about all of this, will post it before PSX. I will talk about what I know from SCV that hasn't been released due to reschedule... also SC6 and my expectations.

I really hope that game wasn't canceled/delayed while we were talking, because Harada's last message and Noctis in T7 are bads signals for me... but I keep hope, only 2 weeks to wait.

Never say anything like that. This always leads to something bad.
A lot of people thought that Tekken 7 customisation will be better that ever without any evidence and it turned out to be complete shit.

I'd prefer to not have a "proper story mode", but to have it be like SCIII instead.

Numerous time in this thread was it said that SCVI is in mini-development-hell. There is a good (bad) possibility that they actually don't have time for that.
It's not like I'm pessimistic, but don't baselessly rise your hopes for yet unconfirmed game.
 
CAS is a core part of the series since SCIII and a major selling point so it's impossible to imagine it being gone. I don't know how long they've been developing this but it's easy to imagine it being longer than what Daishi had for SCV.

Imagine is the core part. Nothing is signalising that it's actually in development for a long time, also mini development-hell may make even bigger time absolutely meaningless, as it was spent ineffectively. It's not like Bandai will give them more time just because it's needed, as proved by SCV.

Never be so sure in anything. Especially in something good. There is always a room for fuck ups.

Looking forward to it.
 
I'd have absolutely no issue with only one Alexander returning. I know they're not really clones, but when the roster is likely going to be about the same size as SCV (if not smaller), then i want as little overlap between characters as possible.

Also platform exclusive guests always have been and always will be a stupid idea. I pray that part of the rumor is fake.

Yeah, just call it a hunch but I doubt they're going to scrap one of the most marketable features in SC.
 
Yeah, I prefer the 'choose you own adventure' format SC had prior to 5, where characters were only connected to whom they independently met. I don't want a linear story where a designated protagonist takes the center for the relevance of event progression.

Same, fighting games aren't very story oriented anyway ..I prefer to have great music, great stage, huge movesets etc ..

Tu penses que Vergeben est français lui aussi ? héhé
D'ailleurs je me demande si les fuites ne sortent pas de chez Namco à Lyon ..

What about the last message of Harada ? On twitter ?
 
The fact that they're focusing a lot into Story Mode is giving me hope that they're finally going to get ride of CaS.

Beside the fact that i think that this mode brought a lot lot of negative points to the franchise, it also take a lot of work for the team, and that a lot of work that could have been spend to reinforce other core aspect of the game. Or even for example if getting ride of CaS would allow the game to have bunch of alt costumes for characters i'd be absolutely down for it.

CaS made up a fairly large portion of even SCV's story mode. What better way to make henchmen, bandits and other such things?

Lest we forget CotS, an entire story based on, and almost entirely using, CaS.

Meh... Good point, well i still hope that if CaS is still in, the original character roster are the only ones that can be used in Rank mode. Also hope they go by the concept of SC2 where characters had alt costumes, and expand it, but i guess as usual we'll have to wait and see.

I know a lot of people like CaS, i myself had a lot of good time with it and i used to like it, but with the time goes on it brought many aspects that i think are bad for the franchise imo. But maybe... i mean maybe if they'll put CaS by limiting some aspects, and only put customs items that make sens for the Soul Calibur universe, then maybe CaS can be great again, and i personally may even love it again. Tho even in the case where it will be well done, i'd still like it to have it own specifics Rank mode.
 
@Vergeben quick question which idk if you can answer or not. A long time ago we got Soul Calibur concept art from Passion Republic. Do you think Namco will utilize those character designs and stages? Or were those just Passion Art doing it for fun? Once they reveal Kilik we'll know for sure since we have his concept, but I was just wondering since they're really nice.

Well yea but focusing on story instead of gameplay can cause the same thing putting cas in would tbh. If they overdo the whole story stuff other things my be cut short as well.
Cas is aids but its sadly a selling point so it wont go anywhere.

Hum well MKX has the best MK gameplay in the franchise (with even 3 variations for each characters),even though i has a lot of Story focus, so i still think PS can do it, let's just hope this time Bandai Namco won't make them rush the game like in SCV. (Based on the rumours, it seems to be already the case, and that's great if so)

CaS selling point, hum not so sure, SC2 didn't had it and it still the most selling SC game, SC4 sold well as well but mainly because it had a good release timing and SW characters that helped a lot as well.

I mean do you guys know people that play SC only because of CaS? Me personally when i ask someone who used to love SC but isn't interested anymore by the new ones, they told something like:"New SC games looks random and shits, bikinis and other costumes for perverts, Donal trump fighting against Hilary Clinton? lol and they really call it Soul Calibur?" And then laugh and continue making jokes for it. lol
