Spawn and Heihachi Going Multi-Platform for SC2HD!

So we already know that Soulcalibur 2 will be coming to PSN and XBL in a few months; but we never knew the state of the guest characters from that series. On the Playstation 2, we had Heihachi, on the Xbox we had Spawn; and both consoles had Necrid. Would the same be for PSN and XBL? Would these characters remain as console exclusives?

Well according to a report from Siliconera, both characters will be available on both versions! This begs the quesiton, how will this affect tournaments? In the past, they were banned because they were console-exclusives; but now that exclusivity is gone. Since both characters are now available to everybody, should be allow them? Necrid too? Sadly, Link from the Gamecube version of the game remains absent from this downloadable release.

Okay, I'll start some Link bitching:

Seriously, why do people give a shit about Link not being in the game?

 

Is this gonna be a direct port, or will it be an edited port? By edited, I mean a "patched" edition of SC2 HD

It's unknown at the moment.

 

You have Heihachi and Spawn, but you don't bother to include Link? Almost criminal that... Nintendo must be the culprits. Greedy people.

 

Nintendo must be the culprits.

You're talking about people who take down free advertising from Youtube, who had to be yelled at to not cut the Smash stream for EVO at the last minute. Come on now.







u-uh, I mean, uh, No Link, No Buy.

Here's to hoping it will have SCV'esque graphics.

 

I have lost a lot of respect for Nintendo over the last year. I went from being a fan to becoming a hater. I don't think I will ever want to buy anything Nintendo again. Fire Emblem will tempt me, but that is about it.

Anyone know any good F-Zero clones? I miss that franchise. Yes I know this is semi off topic.

 

So the so called new producer of SC tweeted this:

auスマートパス向けアプリケーション「ソウルキャリバー」の配信を開始しました！総勢19キャラクター全ての演武も再現！ 格闘ゲーム向けにチューニングされた新しいバーチャルパッドを搭載しボタンレイアウトも思いのまま！高精彩なグラフィックでauスマートパスに遂に登場！

Which translated into (Via Google translator) :

Have no idea what he's talking about exactly but it's Soul Calibur related.

Last month he tweeted something related to pokemon, but then immediately deleted. =D

Honedge in SC6? lol

Spoiler

 

Interesting news: Soul calibur II definately had more than 19 playable characters, and thats not even counting the bonus guys.

On a lighter note: If cerventes absorbed heihachi's soul :

 

I don't give a single fuck about Link not being in the game so far. He's a Nintendo exclusive, and that is the way it should stay. Nintendo would never, in their right mind, allow one of their flagship characters on another console anyway. Certain "fans" need to learn to stop feeling entitled and deal with it.

Here's the thing though vulcan, back during the SC II days you know that everybody and their grandma was playing soulcalibur. You could walk up to any group of young people and say "SoulCalibur Two?" and they would all start laughing and stuff automatically because they played it/ knew somebody who was nuts about it too. I know, I used to do it. The series has never recaptured the sort of popularity it enjoyed since SC II.

You make a lot of great points really, it would be better if those "fans" got over their entitlement, but that's unlikely to happen. And it's doubtful link will be allowed to the party. However I for one would be overjoyed if Link showed up. not because I think anybody is entitled to his presence but because I'd love for SC to be that popular again. If it takes Link for that to happen, I really don't care nor mind. You or I may not care about Link one way or the other but there are a lot of people who do, and I don't really care if they show up for the right or the wrong reasons, I just want them to show up. This re-release of the game would sell that many more copies and maybe some of those people will be reminded that this thing called soul calibur exists and check out SC V (now available for a song). Both of these things would help us get a SC VI, which is probably a good thing. It would be better if Namco didn't treat the game like a red-headed step child, but it's probably asking too much for that to happen. For now, it's enough for them to keep putting food in front of it's freckly face.

It's a moot point anyway. It's probably not going to happen, but I wouldn't be idealistically opposed.

 

I too am sick of hearing "Where's Link?" "No Link, no buy!"

But if putting him in the game meant SC2 being even more relevant again, I'm all for it.

 

NEEECRIIIID......?

 

Necred is in, I think.

 

Project Soul's reason for SCIIHD only on PS3 & 360

 

Wasn't so much a reason as a motto , but I suppose it works.

 

Give us the release date already sheesh ._.

 

So wait, they are saying there are NO demands for the Wii U ver? WTF?

 

Yeah, I want a release date already too! :[

There's demand for Link, not for the Wii U.
