More on this gameNAMCO-Bandai confirms online play for the fourth title in the series...
Online play in fighting games remains a sore subject for developers. Whilst the outspoken Team Ninja relented and brought Dead or Alive: Ultimate to Xbox Live (followed by DOA4), SEGA's AM2 remain adamant that the technology still doesn't provide the scope for lag-free play with the Virtua Fighter series.
However, it seems that Soul Calibur fans will be able to fight across the globe, with confirmation via EGM that the fourth chapter will feature online play on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3.
Exactly what the mode will entail beyond the traditional options remains unknown at this stage, though the game should see the return of the Character Create mode from Soul Calibur III, allowing players to duke it out with their own customised fighters.

sugar ACE. Absolutely love the game, and I'm a non-gamer. Only bought a PS3 because I was bored.

I have always enjoyed playing soulcal, and am sure this game will be fun to play as well. The story doesn't really matter in a game like this. Also, what exactlly can make someone a "good gamer" vs being a "bad gamer" I mean, what can make you think someone you don't know is a bad gamer or gives gamers a bad name?

If you think Dead or Alive was dull you are RIGHT. The whole series is DULL. Mortal Kombat has more moves in it's moves list. As a matter of fact. That series is for non-gamers who play games to see the graphics. Soulcalibur, on the other hand, is for REAL GAMERS who hate people that BUTTON MASH instead of tryin to LEARN the moves.

Man. You guys. Are you guys really gamers. Are you even Soulcalibur fans. This is the exact reason why there are no good games. The people making the games are getting the wrong input from true non-gamers. Soulcalibur 4 will be the best fighting game made to date. Adding the Star Wars characters was a good move. King Arthur and excalibur would also tie in great with this game. Hmm. Since he is a LEGEND/Folk story/myth/etc......."Transending HISTORY;a LEGEND of SOULS and SWORDS eternaly retold....

Yes we've played with them; no they don't work - and I'll be interested to see what you think come September when the force will well and truly be unleashed...

I'm not bored enough to crawl through this site's archives to see what their position was last batch of tie-ins this franchise produced. I agree with the previous sentiments of these guys making a story out of nothing. The Jar-Jar and Ewok references are poor journalism in my eyes. To each his own. Have they played as the character? It might be fun character to fight with. Even if we never heard of Star Wars, each of these characters would be exciting to play with in their own right. I personally am excited for the Star Wars game in Sept. I've read alot about the three engines they are using in that game, and how they got them to work together for what appears to be a nearly unique game with each playthrough. I'm curious as to how many games these so called "journalists" have designed and can they do much better? There are reasons why I don't rely on this sight for the bulk of my gaming knowledge. Mahalo.

Oh brother that's ridiculous. If you don't like those characters don't play them and stop trying to come up with a story out of nothing. Lame.
