Allthough another SC would be nice, I don’t see it happening. All the characters have different endings, but the plot goes along with Siegfried’s endings. And he froze himself along with Nightmare and the swords. And I can only assume that they would be frozen forever or the tower would vanish. But if they make SC4, the character creation better be improved clothing, voice, height, width, and face wise. This was a let down compared to SC3. And I would also like a better set of cameos, Star Wars really bad.

I totally agree that SC4 was bad compared to 3. 3 had fun game modes, and it was all around easier to understand. SC4 seemed rushed and compared to SC3 it has less game modes. SC4 has alot less stages than 3, and it doesnt seem like a big jump from 3. They try tomplay on the graphics, but they really aren’t that great. The endings of the characters show closure on the series, but also leave it open for another game if they eant to make SC5

HI GUYS!!!

i’ve played the Origional Soul Edge, SC3 and SC4.

Love the game, Character creation is awesome in SC3 because you could simply make what you wanted and it had a few more options than SC4, SC4 might have more content BUT with the need for you clothing to decide your Skill and basic Stats, it took away A lot of the pleasure of just making a cool looking character and made it into Number Crunching, Min Maxing to try and make the best possible stats.

What I would like to see though is More modes. SC4 was was a complete letdown because there was no real differance between STORY mode and Arcade, hell arcade mode lasted longer than story mode with 8 opponents.

if anything if there is a SC5 they should bring back the story mode style from Soul Edge, with special conditions for winning fights, Unlocking weapons through those individual battles instead of going through the game once then having them all for that character to buy, the struggle of goals and then the achievement is what Made Soul Edge stand out.

In addition to this SC3’s CHRONICLES OF THE SWORD mode was some of the BEST fun i had in the SC series, you got to take your time, it was challenging in places, sometimes frustratingly so LOL, but nevertheless it was FUN and had a lot of re-playability.

SC4 simply focused too much on graphics, custom content and the ability to fight other people online. To save the game from falling into obscurity as another simple arcade fighting game, the developers need to bring back the older style of Story modes and rebuild them in the new systems, SE’s Story mode and SC3 Chronicles of the Sword could easily be remade or perhaps combined for SC5.

LEAVE OFF!!! SCIV on xbox 360 is mustard compared to the rest of the SC’s.. If you actually sit down for hours on end perfecting your characters and moves its well worth it. PLUS theres loads you can unlock which makes the game even better… the only thing thats missing is team battle

I think SC4 really fleshed out the main fighters, removing almost all serious issues of inbalance or cheapness. But the Star Wars characters were stupid. Only Vader is an actually fair fighter, and he still doesn’t fit the style of SC.
I think the old custom styles of SC3 should return, as well as more customization in terms of height and body shapes. I still really enjoy SC4’s custom characters though. Finally, bring back more modes. Just not enough single player modes. If they just bring back team battles and chronciles of the sword, that would be awesome.

Soul Calibur V is a striaght must have, IV for me, seemed like it could have been way better, I would easily over look the Story line having a couple holes in it if they came back with better graphics, and even deeper character creation and probably should add in a couple new figthing elements I was never into the critical finishes. They would be better if more time was spent into makeing them deatiled and the graphics in them and all teh videos weren’t that great

If SC V is happening I think for guest characters they should use anime dudes from Bleach or Naruto Shippuden.

Soul Calibur V would be one of the best new games to come out when it does and considering the amount of time it will take it will probably come out for the new game systems because they are coming out in 2011 though i hope it doesnt take that long. For guest characters i would certainly think that Kratos would be cool and so would the Arbiter from halo 3.

If they make a new Soul Calibur, they better change the voices because the voicing is horrible!!!! Also, the game nneds to retuen the old stuff like Team Vs. Mode, etc.

I think that SCV would be amazing. To me, IV was missing some things such as more customization items and such. Also they could have added a team play or co-op mode. Really if there is an SCV in the making, there should be a RPG online type mode…. But that might be asking for too much. Seriously though, SCIV had so much untapped potential. Though I love the game, I am disappointed in it. It focuses mainly on fight fight fight, there’s no real fun in just rumbling.
