New SOULCALIBUR Title at E3? *EDIT: Hah! Nope

When you (suppose) to promise (NamSHITco) something to your fans which is of great value to them and teasing them with polls and words "something huge" and then giving them NO INFO AT ALL - this is what happens, to me either. I think they love Tekken nowadays more, they don't give a fu ck about Soul series anymore. Thank you
 
Since my old reply was deleted, I'll just quickly sum it up in a short paragraph. Here goes:

People have played Street Fighter IV for damn near seven years. They didn't play it because of the offline content, they played it because of the competition online. Tekken players don't bitch and moan about story mode, they are invested in the meta of the game.

Soul, you're saying the only thing people are invested in on this website is the gameplay.

You'd be 90% correct.

A large majority of players talk about gameplay and strategy is because that's what drew us to the game in the first place. If Soul Calibur was all about the single player content, it would've died a long time ago.

Tl;Dr

FG players care about gameplay? Who knew.

Edit: This is not a short paragraph. I lied.
 
Just saying, to get the most sales and the most profit, games have to BE competitive. Whether it's pandering to certain people like implementing sterotypical characters, offering CAS and outfit DLC, balanced gameplay, story modes, unique and new mechanics, amazing netcode,the goal is to attract as many players as possible and make the most money. These days, making a barebone good fighting game isn't gonna cut it. Why do you think they keep using guest characters? $$$$$$$$$$

SC2 lured people in with Link I mean guest characters, modes and gameplay
SC3 lured people in with lots of bonus casual stuff. SC3 arcade tried to get competitive players back by fixing the glitchy mess
SC4 was a good blend of both and lured people in with Stars Wars, online (which kinda sucked and lagged), and skanky outfits like Ivy's strings.
SC5 lured people in with good and balanced gamplay, along with a really good netcode. (They also hoped that replacing vets with tweens would attract more people which was stupid). They tried story until their office got swept under by a tsunami and by F**** tekken.
SC:Lost Swords- they jumped off the wrong end so ignore.

SC6, we can all assume they're gonna try to sell themselves on a good netcode, good gameplay and more modes, since they were heavily criticized for the lack of casual stuff besides CaS. Edit: Again, they want money? They need to step it up. Everyone is being very competitive with each other and that is a fact.
 
I no peple aready said this but I do it agan... Guy their is NO SC6 atm! How culd sompeople believe that just because Namco did that survey and told there will be an "announcment" soon. If I learned nothing during my time with SoulCaliberV´s development, then that it has been a Poblem for bamco to find a way to bring SC to the next level/i.e. story wise to a new way ect. That´s why they did that Survey its not becase thy want 2 add SC-chars into Tekken who would think of something like that!!?!?? It´s because they don´t know WHAT TO DO WITH A FUTURE INSTALLMENT AND NEED TO KNOW AT LEAST WHICH CHARACTeRS THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON my best bet is that we wil c something towards Tgs or at the end of the year, but my hopes are not really high for that.

Oh and btw. I played and LOVED! SC(DC) at first beause of its story/charucturs and not becz of the fightin engine/gamelay. That came later in my ass.

Click to expand...

Please share more.
As someone who doesnt' really follow tekken tho: Is the story in tekken really that "next level" ? Its always the same mishima family, and the characters all look the same with the same costumes and movesets that have minimal changes.
