word from the wise is that there is a hidden message in the logo. I tried staring at it, but couldn't see anything. maybe someone out there can find something ?

Unfortunately, we are in a "port old games/reboot old games/develop DLC rather than a full game" era... But you are right, as much as I loved the old games, I still have them on my console, play them on an old TV and I won't pay big bucks just to have some more pixels... It's SCVI or nothing, end of the line.

SCIII is kind of a special case though. The original PS2 game was busted due to bad balance, bugs and glitches. However, a lot of folks who aren't as competitive like it for the heaps of single player content it had. The Arcade Edition fixed the gameplay, but wasn't widely available and stripped out the home version's single player content.

So, rather than just a higher-resolution version of the old game, SCIII HD/Online/SuperDuper Edition has the chance to take a game full of potential and fix all of it's biggest flaws. Include the balance changes from AE, include the content from the home version, add online multiplayer (that doesn't suck), and make sure crap like the save deleting bug is gone, all the while making the game look sharper than ever.

I'd happily lay down cash to get my hands on that.

The Nightmare image and "Soulcalibur" text are recycled, so if anything it has to do with the general shape or the "20th Anniversary" portion. Or it just doesn't exist.

P.S. This is what a hidden image looks like to Namco lol

hmm, well I was told it was supposed to be a hidden "message", whatever that means. came from a guy who spoke to another guy whose last name rhymes with "furry"
