Art of Soul Calibur 4

By Spencer . July 18, 2007 . 2:38pm

Missing at E3 was Soul Calibur 4, the next and final installment in the Soul Calibur series. It’s coming out in 2008 and here is an early look at some of the concept art for the fighters. Tira, one of the characters introduced in Soul Calibur III, looks notably different with long hair and Nightmare has a mouth in his chest.

    And I mean that for the entirety of the game I have seen so far… I can honestly say… if they decided to not make this one the last I’d be one to continue buying it. Soul Calibur has been my absolute favorite since i first played Soul Edge on the Playstation and the Soul Calibur on the Dreamcast.

    Now on with MY thoughts.

    This game looks BEAUTIFUL with the improved graphics and in general the character designs. Full agreement on what has been said for Taki, (lol) and as stated its sex that sells. But looking past breast size on the females, the costume design, as usual, is very well designed and unique. Sure it looks as though someone splashed some crystals over Sieg, but in my opinion it gives him that “redeemed warrior”/ holy look, which suits his character. I honestly did prefer Tira’s SC3 costume more than this one. Kind of makes her look… wanna-be goth? I dunno how to explain it but i hope they keep the old costume as a choice… which leads into my wondering if they will bring back ALL the old costumes, since this is SUPPOSED to be the final game. (I hope not in all honesty :D)

    Aside from that Nightmare is looking like hes is going to be one of my favorite designs ever. Thought the only thing I’m wondering is if they are going to incorporate/bring back Inferno (SC and SC2) at all in Nightmare’s alternate costume designs. Inferno kinda died off there at the end of SC2. I kinda liked him.

    Cassandra’s design (not shown here. WHY!!!??!?!?!?!??!?!) is looking very nice. Sophitia is still kicking her same near see-through toga-ish costume and Astaroth looks friggin sweet. Glad they got rid of the hammer on his head (lawlz) and his new design is very befitting of a “golem.”

    As for the rest… I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT!!!!

    Soul Calibur is the GREATEST fighter I have personally ever played. There are the classics like SF and KOF but nothing can top this chain for me.

    SOUL CALIBUR FOREVAH!

    I just hope that they make the “create a character” thing better then n SC3. Mre options for hair, cloths, voices, and of course more variety of fighting styles.
    Does anyone know what system this is for?

    I’m kinda dissapointed in Tira’s changes. The change in appearance reminds me of jam from guilty gear. I wonder what made them completly revamp her appearance. Hopefully her old green costume is available as an alternate appearance.

    i think the designs are completely awesome. Nightmare looks even more evil, most likely as a result from wielding the true soul edge now. and i think they added the crystals to siegfrieds armor to make him appear as opposite to nightmare as soul calibur is to soul edge. it doesnt look that great but it fits.

    taki of course looks awesome, and as mentioned before her breasts appear like this in almost all of her concept art, yet the nipples dont actually appear in game. the lack of a bra to in someway constrain them is still very unrealistic…but i guess thats marketing.

    as for tira: i think she looks a LOT better than she did in SC3, then again i’m not that big of a fan.

    mitsurugi, (my all time favorite) doesnt seem to have changed much except in detail. his expression seems a little more care free which is good. and about his hair. his art isnt really art, it looks like an action figure and it appears that way because it is real hair/cloth. he’s still 29 and still teh awesome
