Out of all the versions I've played since the original Soul Edge, I'd have to say the first Soul Calibur is still my favorite to this day. 2 is close, but the first one on the Dreamcast took a few years of my life ill never get back.
So, yeah. If this is coming I'm going to jump on it.

I remember playing Soul Edge on PS1. I used the barbarian guy and kept spamming the wooden hilt attack. CPU AI had no idea what to do to counter. lol
Never had a DC, but rented it. SC was one of the games I rented. Awesome game.
Best part of intro at 2:07.

I’ll take antything Soulcalibur at this point but hopefully it’s a collection with at least the first three games. Just thinking about a remastered Sc3 with balance changes from the Arcade Edition gets me hyped.
That being said, the first one is still an amazing fighter to this day!

Soul Edge/Blade forever. The legend will ever die. I love the OG.
They already did remaster Soul Calibur 1 on XBLA, though it was the arcade version rather than the Dreamcast version.
Give us Soul Edge, Calibur 1, 2 & 3 (arcade edition) remakes please.

Sure you’re not mixing that up? Also, SC 1 and 2 are on Xbox through BC

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
I don't think you were?
In gameplay and visuals Soulcalibur is miles ahead but Blade/Edge had a) the finest video game intro ever, b) awesome production values with in-engine endings, some of which with branching choices/playable-ish and c) better mission mode where you earned new imba weapons and shit.
It was the DC version and not remastered, just 720p instead of 480p and without the intro, mission mode and related unlocks (the unlock content was there but didn't need to be unlocked or was in other ways, I forget). The arcade version has almost Tekken 3 level visuals so is worse than both.

True, it wasn't technically the arcade version, but it felt like it was as it had no intro and no mission mode. No online play either. It was barebones af compared to the DC version.

I played Soul Blade so much when I was young that when Soul Calibur came out on the Dreamcast I was disappointed but yeah I'm curious how a remake would look

Kind of a sad state of affairs when a remaster of the first release is the most exciting thing that might happen for the series, such a shame the series has been staggering ever since the third game.

Sounds like you want Tobal No. 1
A really creative fighting game with an RPG campaign that came out way before it should have.

Oh dear....
Let's hope they put more effort in than they did with tales.

That's good. The first Soulcalibur still feels perfect and actually better than most of the other episodes. Simple, smooth, sharp, most of what they added later felt unnecessary. I'm fine with the current XBLA version though, but I'd be interested with a Soulcalibur collection mostly for SCV that can't be played on current generations (mostly for Viola who was my main and never reappeared again)

Soul Calibur II was the one which first introduced exclusive characters per console.
The Gamecube version of SC2 had Link as the guest character. Yes, Link.
The Xbox and PS2 versions had Spawn and Heihachi, respectively.
If they remaster SC2 they should put all 3 guest characters in the remaster.

I just watched that intro for the 1st time in about 2 decades and it's even better than I remember

I watched it a few months back, its so nostalgically cool. I love it.
Along with some other intro classics like Tekken 2 and 3, Soul Calibur. Ridge Racer Type 4.

Maybe on Switch, but there ain't no way Link is appearing as a guest character on PS5 or XBX.

I wonder why. SC3 was neat though.

I agree. Soulblade changed the way I looked at 3D fighters. Plus it did something truly special and that was "Edge Master" mode. That gave the game even greater replay value.
I've never been more hype for an intro than this one

I bought a used Dreamcast and a copy of Soul Calibur when the console’s time was already over.
Nothing could prepare me for that. Just the floor textures popped so much, it looked like my CRT TV was suddenly upgraded with 3D features. SC was the flashiest, the coolest, the smoothest, the most fun fighting game ever. The adventure mode, while admittedly not as good as in Soul Edge, was insanely addictive. The demos with the CPU showing off each character’s moves were mindblowing.
SC2 was also very good and we spent a lot of time with it in multiplayer, but the first game was an epiphany. The sequels added characters, gimmicks, and boobs. None of them recaptured the show, the fun, the action, the pure love that was poured into the Dreamcast version of the original.
And yeah, if Namco wants to remaster or even redo Soul Edge, I’ll be there day one. The time I spent with that game on the PS1 was worth every second. A 60fps version would be hnnnnnng.

Part 3 and 4 are even hard to find. I'd get this for sure if it included everything.
