Weekly Famitsu Reveals Soulcalibur: Lost Swords

So if you guys remember, back in July, Namco-Bandai registered a trademark for "Soulcalibur: Lost Swords". A week later, they wrapped up their Comic-con panel, and revealed absolutely nothing about the upcoming title. Well as of this week, the title has been officially revealed in Weekly Famitsu.

According to Gematsu, Soulcalibur: Lost Swords will be a Playstation 3 exclusive free-to-play game in the vein of Tekken Revolution. If its similar to their other F2P titles, the game will be "time-limited" where players must purchase tokens in order to continue playing the game beyond its initial demo hours. Not much more is known about the title, but it will most likely be a slightly modified version of Soulcalibur V.

 

From the video description:

Choose from a legendary cast of characters spanning the SOULCALIBUR series and fight through life-or-death battles in an engaging and highly customizable solo gameplay fighting experience.
SOULCALIBUR LOST SWORDS reinvents the world-renowned weapons-based fighting franchise with a brand new item discovery and forging system as well as elemental-based fighting mechanics. Special elemental effects such as Wind and Fire will be imbued into weapons scavenged from defeated enemies as well as forged by raw materials you will find.

Soulcalibur Lost swords will be available for free on Playstation 3 by Winter 2013.

Does she have two CEs ?

The "Gods, Gods" Elysium attack where the enemy just spazes in mid air

and

her "This is the end"

where she does a tas B and a sword uppercut like her son's CE

 

Nice Sophitia! Maybe this means I'll get Amy back. Screw Viola. :P and yeah, I think she has 2 CE. Hey, that's a great thing, right?

Also, isn't Nightmare technically confirmed too? Maybe just his playstyle but I'm sure he is.

Sorry for the double post, but look at these pictures from this http://gematsu.com/gallery/soulcali...calibur-Lost-Swords_2013_09-19-13_020.jpg.php gallery.

Knowing very little about game graphics, I'd like to see if anyone can spot differences between SC4 sophitia and SC5:LS sophitia

Love that. "Cfafting" was a great success! Engrish still needs to get polished, as that screenshot looks like a ps vita version.
More seriously, does equipping specific weapon gives you access to weapon-specific CEs ? or the gems will somehow lock CEs to the weapons ?

 

Glad to see an iconic character of the series back,gives hope for the others.

Yeah I'm hoping zasalamel comes back. You mean how iconic zasalamel was right ?

 

Sophitia is amazing. Now with TAS B BE you can do it 3 times in the same combo and the JF will activate by itself.

 

TGS trailer

0:37 - Siegfried's agA & iag:A stuns, CH WS A[BE] makes up for B4's whiffing problems.
0:42 - It is me or did I see Mitsu CH 2A become +18 so FC 1BB can combo. Does it mean mean that genric CH 2As become +18 as well?
I'm pretty sure you can do 3 CEs now. 1:04, 1:05, 1:13.

 

Actually, we used to have 3 Shield & Sword styles Since SC2. Lizardman changed to be Aeon with the dual axes in SC5, so I don't mind they make Sophitia to be revived in Lost Swords.

I wonder if "Lost Swords" means every official old characters have disappeared from the SC5 stage? If it is, I will be very excited. They probably release a old character every month by DLC. (Dreaming)

 

Was that Star War's music in that trailer? Umm...

Of course, it was the intro to Soul Calibur IV which has bits of Star Was in it. Now no need to get overly excited, none of the Star Wars characters are coming back.

Now I wonder if they'll have any new original music in this game.

I wasn't. I just didn't know why they're using it.

New Trailer:

Game looks like absolute trash -__-

Best thing about this garbage is the "if there were any other way" theme from SC2.

Fuck yo Sophie, ugly ass new Nightmare design, and filthy ass custom using Nightmare's moves

Lolwut

 

Interesting... it almost seems like every move in the game can combo into something else... Other than that:

• Really digging the multiple CEs.
• This gem stuff smells more like SFxT than ToLS to me.
• The particle effects are very distracting.
• Those character creations are absolutely awful.
• From the looks of it, you can equip CaS pieces onto 1P outfits. Finally.
• Not sure why they amped up the saturation of Sophitia's colors.

Also:

Half Life 3 Zasalamel confirmed.

 

The particle effects are very distracting.

Most likely placeholder effects. When Mitsu does his CE there's a BE flash. There was a bunch of stuff like that in the pre-release SCV footage.

Also nice Zas find. Bigger still:

 

Sophie's english VA is still horrible. Always loved the JP on her, it fits her much better. Also LOL at Siegfried whiffing in the trailer of this game. This is just too good.

 

Half Life 3 Zasalamel confirmed.

Then Cassie confirmed too, she is in the trailer

But we still can´t know

Then would that also mean that we could see Inferno again? I don't really know, but the prospect of playing as characters that didn't make it into SCV has me excited :D

Also, I love Siegfried's new color scheme. Not sure why they changed it, but I'm not complaining.
