during our meeting this afternoon with namco, while a tale of souls was being eternally retold on the screen in soulcalibur v, a rep from the japanese publisher spoke to the game's features while we raptly listened on. while only four characters were playable in the hands-on demo we had, two of them were brand new -- something the namco rep explained was representative of the entire game's roster.

''''''half of the roster is all new characters,'''''' he noted, before explaining that character creation will make a triumphant return in sc5. and apparently, though the story in past soulcalibur titles has been ... typical of a fighting game, sc5 will expand upon that with the expressed purpose of explaining the many, many new characters. we only got a chance to get our hands on patroclus and series favorite mitsurugi, but we'll be sure to have a preview up in the coming days. here's a tease: it was pretty fun!gallery: soulcalibur v (e3 2011)


soulcalibur v has '20 - 30' characters, half are new; character creation coming back originally appeared on joystiq on thu, 09 jun 2011 20:10:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
