This is cool and all, but I was more interested in a Tekken collection with the original PS1 games bundled together for sale. I'm pretty sure everybody on here has memories of Tekken 3, even if they didn't like or play fighting games, it was that influential.

I'm probably the only guy in the world who preferred the true 1st Soul Calibur game

Edit: Beaten

How can you be when it was the highest rated game on the Dreamcast? I remember Gamespot giving it a perfect 10.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Make SC an open world RPG already

I mean, they kind of sort of tried something in the direction of that with SoulCalibur Legends, which was not very good.

I think I liked SoulBlade more because it was the original so it was fresh to me. It was this new awesome 3D fighter

You didn't mention Soul Blade/Edge before, you mentioned Soul Calibur which was the second game in the series. Calibur got a perfect 10, the first game got modest reviews.

 

[splattered]

If this is true i will 10000% buy this

I hope they retain that beautiful, art direction that SC 1 had, the later games...in my opinion...were almost too "glossy" with all the bells and whistles that more powerful hardware supplied the Dev team with.

It's hard to describe but the DC version with that gorgeous texture work had an wonderful almost painterly look that the normal mapped, higher detailed models of later versions lacked.

The image didn't show up for me so my bad. I've never played a single SoulCalibur game, I'm more interested in what Namco does with those earlier PS1 games. Bring Tekken PS1 collection to Steam and I'll be happy baby!!!

 

[Azurro]

It's crazy how much better Soul Calibur 2 on PS2 looks compared to SC1 on Dreamcast. My nostalgia made the video above look 10x times better, it looks really substandard compared to Tekken Tag Tournament.

What if they made a Tekken or Soul Calibur remake?

I'm more interested within a Tekken remake than a Soul Calibur one. Assuming this collection makes money then Namco will strongly entertaining remaking their original entries. Tekken 7 and 8 will have a home on Steam, I want the second and third games to be the same. I'm not too bothered about the first entry because it's mediocre in my opinion, though it would be nice to have due to completion sake.

SoulCal 2 with good online play would be a dream game for me

 

[Punished Miku]

Still the best fighting game ever made imho.

I can't get excited for all these modern 2D games. Just feels like a huge step back compared to this.

I’m wondering if they will remaster Soul Calibur 4 and 5. Especially since 4 has all the Star Wars dlc and 5 has Assassins creed. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just 1 - 3 and just the arcade versions. Similar to how Capcom handled the Street fighter collection.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I was pretty pleased to play Soul Calibur 1 HD (XBLA version) on Series S years after release. Hopefully more people will get to enjoy it this time around. I am sad they butchered the Soul Calibur II HD port with PAL PS2 version issues, but loved the original NTSC PS2 release. Would be willing to double dip for the Arcade Edition of Soul Calibur III.

 

[wvnative]

This would be awesome and I hope it's true...

but that guy tends to be full of shit.

 

[Neff]

The best one.

This and Tekken please. And Ridge Racer while you’re at it

I'd vote for this man.

I don't even want 4 and 5.

Really? I loved both of them.

 

[NeverYouMind]

I would be mildly interested in Broken Destiny getting a high fidelity remaster for modern systems. However, the original IV has way too many balancing problems and lack of content. I don't even want to aknowledge the abomination that followed and threw away everything that made the series good.

 

[SSfox]

Wait what? Is this shit legit???

 

[NeverYouMind]

It is no more than a rumour with an unknown source.

Edit: Beaten

The reason I bought a PlayStation.

I don’t think it was better than Calibur, which was one hell of a package - but for its time no other fighting game came close imo.

 

[FeastYoEyes]

I'd buy Soul Calibur II again.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

How about a remake? Fucking a remaster of an ancient game.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Hilariously, I had no idea Soul Calibur series was a follow up to Soul Edge until I checked the back of the box of Soul Calibur II on the shelf. Good thing Taki was on it, otherwise I would not have known for a long time. Soul Calibur II still has my highest survival streak of any Namco title (with Heihachi, the best guest character). Shame he has not reappeared with his unique fighting style in any other entry despite being owned by the same company. If they manage to do a port right this time I would not mind having a digital copy to fire up on a whim.

P.S. I still prefer playing Edge Master Mode to Weapon Master Mode in the sequels.

They should reboot it and call it Caliber Souls. Get a few million extra sales.

 

[Adam_802]

And on Game Pass nice!

 

[Umbasaborne]

Is this industry scared of making something new these days. Feels like every other game is a remake

 

[Physiognomonics]

The story mode was great. I spend way too much time into the museum (listening to the awesome music). I tried a few others SC but I think SC1 is still the best.

 

[Punished Miku]

Most fighting games built their legacy in the arcade era. Pretty difficult to think of any major ones that are new.

I remember Gamefan hyping up the Soul Edge arcade version and talking about it having the best visuals they had ever seen. True or not, that and the time of day changes I read about got me hyped for it

 

[Icymanipulator]

I was actually going to make a thread about SC… been playing 6 but just don’t care for it that much. Was trying to find a way to play SC4 again, but it looks like that will be forever stuck on PS3. Even getting SC2HD on current Gen would be a step in the right direction.

But overall I’d love a Soul Calibur collection.

 

[Kyo]

Add me to the list of people who'd prefer a visually overhauled Soul Edge.

 

[stn]

I want Soul Calibur 3 the most. But a collection would be an instant buy from me.
