![]() ![]() It could be said that the Soul Edge team learned a lot from the development of Tekken 2, the Tekken 3 team learned from Soul Edge, and now the latest installment, Soul Calibur is a hybrid of all these games. The endings in this game will be even more elaborate. Taking the sword, Siegfried becomes possessed and is now the final Boss in Calibur. Siegfried finds the broken Cervantes and Soul Edge. Taki jumps in to defeat Cervantes and takes Sophitia from the battlefield. It seems that at the end of the Soul Edge tournament, Sophitia, mortally injured after destroying one of the evil Soul Edge swords, was about to be killed by the now-insane Cervantes. One of the main baddies in Calibur is Nightmare, who is an evil version of Siegfried. ![]() The story line for the game is extremely deep, unlike Tekken which has absolutely no story line (until its PlayStation counterpart came out with cinemas, that is). With arguably the best cinemas ever seen in a video game, and easy-to-perform moves and combos, the game was just screaming for a sequel, and now it's here. Soul Edge was released on the PlayStation in a better-than-perfect translation entitled Soul Blade.

It's a shame that Japanese developers in general tend to ignore the PC. Even without adapters, it is possible to use at least all PS3 and 360 controllers. With adapters at hand, you can use literally any controller in existence for games on PC. Like characters from SC4 added to SC5, characters from other games or the inevitable nude mod. The most obvious type of mod you'd expect are model changes or entirely new models. Modding games on PC is a thousand times easier and there's more stuff you can do with it. It is technically possible to mod the 360 version of SC5, but it is expensive to set up and rather limited when you finally get into it. ![]() And if you've got the monitor for it, you could go crazy with it: (framerate of 60 should still be maintainable considering how much more powerful PC hardware is) A higher resolution with real AA would go a long way. SC5 on consoles already have good performance, but image quality can become a lot better. I generally prefer games on PC for 3 reasons: ![]()
