Pff...the fault is on the devs not only half-assing the roster on purpose to sell DLC, but paywalling past SC characters like Tira. Oh, and then there's the previous one, SC5, which took out ALOT of fan favorites & replaced them with wannabes that will NEVER appear in a future game. Like Natsu replacing Taki. Seriously, who tf was that chick? I doubt the lore has a whole lot of info on her. Soul Calibur 4 was the last good one. I haven't seen any other fighter screw up the rosters two times straight, after four damn good installments. I doubt SC7 will be good. Unless they got MK Trilogy with it & have every character that was in...2 through 4.
@@Walt_Xander94 From what i hear, it's more about the publishers rushing the Devs. Especially with SC5, which had the worst story in the series. U never see them treat Tekken like this. 6 was fine. Had some flawed mechanics, but did have a fantastic campaign mode though.
@BeyondDaX tekken just keeps getting retconned by Harada just to keep the story moving forward. At least Mortal Kombat still justified the deaths despite the time travel and multiverse angles. Liu Kang for example is officially dead in the mainline original Mortal Kombat (MK 1 original - MK Armageddon)
3 was always my favorite of the lot. Best story, best characters and best modes and interactive endings like Soul Blade. The replay value was tremendous. Never a dull moment.

Same here, actually because I liked it so much I created mods for it that includes, select any character in the game (npc like night terror, collosus, keres and charade, chronicles of the sword, story mode extra, anyone), new weapons with new graphics and stats, the ability to switch player with cpu with that you can play by example chronicles of the sword versus another player, and even use chronicles of the sword abilities like fire weapon that ignores opponent guard or guardian armor the one Keres have and more.
@@twilightjester5672Along with HD version of Soul Calibur 2 on Switch that gives us online match. The fact Nintendo somehow never got it is weird to me. I’d buy it in a heartbeat, love playing as Link.
The legend never dies, unless you count 10 years of nothing and then a video with no announcements for the 20th anniversary as dead, in which case who could blame you.
I would love to see a Soul Calibur HD Collection, where all the games from the franchise in one collection. I don't care how expensive it is, I'd still buy it.
@gwynbleidd968 They already did it with the Korean version of Soul Edge (Li Long no longer has Nunchucks and Mitsurugi was replaced by Hwang), and the Western Arcade versions of SoulCalibur (Ivy was covered up and Arthur replaced Mitsurugi).
@crashpal if you're talking Soulcalibur Legends, I think that one wasn't truly a dynasty warriors type game but more of a typical adventure beat em up game.
To this day, I still believe Soulcalibur 2 is the best title. Great music, good lore, great character animation, excellent voice acting and the graphics still hold up. I still have my Gamecube copy
Sc3 i think Tied with Sc2 for me considering Sc2 is my first Sc game. One thing it did better than Sc4 is Show Us Siegfried vs Nightmare in a Clash in a Cutscene

I owe this series a lot, especially for being a part of my childhood. I remember playing Soul Calibur for the first time in the arcades - and I've been hooked ever since.
20th anniversary? The series started with Soul Edge in 1996 (about 3 months shy of being 29 years old). SoulCaliber was released in 1998 (over 26 years ago). Either this announcement is very old or someone at Namco is not very good at math.
Soul Calibur 5 is the only one in the entire series that finally introduced my main but despite her not returning to the very last entry it's always been fighting desperately for attention after 2. After that each entry felt like it needed to prove itself to the big boys and it never got thr attention it deserved.
I love soul calibur so much like my first one is soul calibur 5 and I played it at Brandsmart but then I played soul calibur 1 and 2 HD when I use to have a xbox one x and it was amazing. After that I bought soul calibur 6 on ps4 when it came out and its phenomenal I love the game series so much. I really hope they bring the old soul calibur games on current gen console which they already did by bring the PSP version on PS4 and PS5. Last thing is I hope we get soul calibur 7.
I remember back then when the devs said them and the tekken team were always trying to one up the other on who makes the better fighting game with each release. A friendly competition between the two teams under Bandai Namco. I hope they get back to it. It would be nice to have SC7.
The more this turn into an anime, the worse it got. This needs to go back to it's roots: serious, sword fighting game. No SUPER MEGA FINISHERS, no weird stuff. Just a GROUNDED fighting game with the right touch of fantasy to make the whole "enchanted sword" plot work.
Please make a new entry in this series people are forgetting this legendary series We remember mortal kombat, tekken and others but we forgot this The legend will never die Make it real namco
0:29 So curious question...will Soul Calibur II 20th Anniversary feature all three exclusive characters (Spawn, Heihachi Mishima & Link) to be playable?
It is very sad to see what SC has become and how it failed to evolve into a modern game. It never got a real story mode and the design/ combat of the characters was always years behind games like MK. Still have hope for a re-boot though but it really has to be a very good and strong one. The last game was very disappointing.
2 & 3 are my favorite iterations of this series, with 4 not far behind. I need to play 5 and the other two games (Broken Destiny and Lost Swords) that I wasn't aware of until now to round out my gaming experience. I wasn't too keen on 6, though; I didn't like how they handled Geralt's arc. Speaking of such, the story arcs each character undergoes in each game is one of the reasons I keep coming back. That and the graphics and animation just keep getting better and better with each game. Raphael is my fighter of choice and I love his arrogance and snide attitude! I need to get caught up!
@jamesburke5873 yes and no. It's mostly the same game the 1996 arcade version was called Soul Edge globally everywhere while Soul Blade was the updated PS1 1997 version that was called that in non-ntsc system countries. Tekken games also had updated console versions an year later after their arcade counterparts which they still practice to this day
The "modern audience" would destroy the game in 2024 for the beautiful characters. Sadly, I think that's one reason we won't see games like Dead or Alive or Soul Calibur again. 😶
Dang, I haven't played Soulcalibur 2 in years, it was the first game in the series I played because of Link from "The Legend of Zelda"... he was a guest character for the GameCube.
We played SC2 at a friend's house growing up but am reasonable sure we've collectively forgotten it exists. Tekken and Street Fighter are more memorable.
They should try different genres like Musou/warriors or tactics with the Franchise, but at the same time providing the OG's with classic, 1V1 action at the same Time. Yakuza is a good Example. They made a turn based Game but still released a classic OG action Game in the same year!
This series deserves way more love than it gets nowadays.
