Soul Calibur 3 Voice Files S

Soul Calibur is a little less popular title among the fighting games. Starting out under a different name Soul Edge, it has come a long way since. It was one of the games to make a more direct application of moving around a 3D stage and even included the use of a huge variety of melee weapons, making it stand out as a fighting game.

Considering that we’re at the 6th Soul Calibur game, is it a good point for newcomers to come over and try it out? With it’s current offerings, whether or not you were familiar at all with this game; I certainly believe you can jump in and enjoy it on the PlayStation 4, regardless if you’re an avid veteran or a player with some budding interest for Soul Calibur. Let’s go ahead and break it down.Production (3 / 5)While other titles like Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, and Tekken have certainly raised the bar on what qualifies as AAA level graphics for fighters, Soul Calibur unfortunately seems to be a little behind on the update. The models clearly have been updated and that’s great but when it comes to lighting, special effects and at some point even textures didn’t seem to make the cut. We still have episodes of stiff hair, maybe underwhelming lighting. And that’s a shame considering how detailed the models appear to be, the fact that there’s even a feature where their clothes break is a testament of how meticulously these were prepared.

The UI could be better, too, fortunately this doesn’t really get in the way but doesn’t really get people excited to play if the first things they had to see were these minimalist menus and 2D art.However, compared to more visually impressive counterparts, Soul Calibur 6 is certainly no slouch when it comes to consistently good performance. Animations match well and feel responsive during gameplay, this makes combat feel crisp and for the most part and easy to understand.

Frames never feel like they’re slowing down and that’s extremely important for fighters and to top it all off, it has the fastest load time I’ve seen in a while on PS4.While I would certainly appreciate flashier looking effects and better details all over the game, it’s hard to complain about how smoothly the game performs. In the end I think the graphics does the job, but it’s nothing groundbreaking or impressive.On the part of sound, music sounds fitting but generally nothing really stuck, maybe I’m just spoiled by Guilty Gear so I won’t really score it against them. There’s also the option of having English or Japanese voice, where I think both are fine.Mechanics (4.5 / 5)The last time I seriously picked up a Soul Calibur game was back during the arcade age and that was Soul Calibur 2, which reminds me of how old I am, but anyway; Getting into this one after such a long hiatus wasn’t really much of a challenge. Movement still felt the same and much of the commands still do the same thing they do. Having a four button format, it was easy to map out which does what. A quick but weak attack that was easy to land, a strong but slower attack, a kick button for more technical purposes and a block button.
