Soul Calibur VI: General discussion

[FluffyQuack]

Looking up various games with unknown release dates and all of them are listed as end of December 2018, except for this one: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sto...onic-launch-edition-for-xbox-one/937lktffh6sk

That doesn't have a known release date and it's listed as July 24th 2018 on the Microsoft store.

I'd rather have the game release in 2019 than in June... They can't afford another rushed game >_<

 

[JAGTHEGEMINI]

If these june/july dates are correct, then I fear we have a 2nd SCV coming....
I.e. good MP but RUSHED game with no real soul....

What a relief ^^

Being the sadistic little bastard that I am, I would love to point out that it is entirely probable that they are pulling our leg with these limited reveals and that a lot more is complete than they are letting on, just so that they can wind up a huge hype train with reveal upon reveal during the last months before the game releases~

So do keep your wishful thinking and hopes up, I'll just be sitting here, reading the posts and chomping on pop-corn :D

Ultimately, nothing is certain. This is by all means completely possible. Might just as well not be. I just hope it's no later than Q1 of next year if they do push it back to then. If it's earlier... I'm not gonna judge rush-job or other-wise until we see everything and it's in everyone's hands, unless it really looks that bad. Which I doubt it could end up being that bad, given what we've seen, albeit not much, looks and sounds like it's going to be great.

They are reacting so fast ! The hope for a good Soulcalibur Game keep going on, as it seems so far.

 

[fallacie]

Actually they've been developing the game since 2013.

If I learnt anything from FFXV... lmao. Developing a game for a long time ≠ its completeness.

 

[SSfox]

Still hoping for a summer release.

Learning from that Duke Nukem game as well. Long development time =/= good game.

To be fair June seemed way too soon.

 

[JAGTHEGEMINI]

I am hoping for a September release
Not too far and not too soon

This is what I was expecting too, but have you seen the releases in September? You don't want to compete with Red Dead Redemption.

True.... better one month earlier or later then...
But isn't Blops 4 coming out in October?
update: RDR2 comes out in October like Blops4, so September would be GOLD

Why would Soulcalibur be competition for RDR? They're completely different games with completely different target audiences

 

[JAGTHEGEMINI]

You just do not want to compete with Rockstar in any way

 

[Brut4L]

My bet is a september or november release, not october. I hope september though, lets wait till tomorrow if there is a new trailer, and if we are more lucky, the official date.

Oh look, logic. When the whole "games for SC to compete with" thing came up a while back, pretty sure that and also Nintendo games came up as things to argue for launch window. I can't say either makes sense, for the reasoning you gave, and the fact that Nintendo games and SC likely would have little to no influence on each other. Not like it's releasing on their platform, so I'd assume that's a less likely factor to mess with sales.
