The year 2008 will not go down in history as a fruitful year for the developers of fighting games. There will probably be no more new games appear in the Tekken, Dead or Alive and Virtua Fighter series, Street Fighter IV or even released this year, this year is very doubtful. All eyes are therefore focused on the fourth installment of Soul Calibur, which should appear in early August as the first next-gen game in that series.
Soul Calibur IV is displayed for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360, and both versions are, apart from a number of characters, identical. The preview version we played during the Ubidays contained four playable characters. These were veterans Siegfried and Mitsurugi, the Xbox 360 exclusive character Yoda - Star Wars, for the ignorant - and newcomer Hilde.
The Soul Calibur series is all about fighting with different melee weapons. In addition, each character has its strengths and weaknesses, but the balance was in the first three parts fine. Even now, it seems that the case. Newcomer Hilde seemed at first a little impressive lady in armor, fighting with a short sword and a spear. The short sword does little damage, but is useful for stooping close combat. With the lance we could initially do little damage to our adversaries. That changed when we became familiar with a few key strokes, that we could go. Seriously our adversaries to attack The new characters ask some getting used to, as it turns out.
