Title: soul calibur 3 is the best-looking fighter of last-gen
Post by: Van Cruncheon on June 14, 2007, 12:04:12 AM
...and better-looking than every wii game to date. i popped it in this evening and OMFG the art direction, textures, special effects, environment effects, and modeling are easily the best of the last-gen fighting games. it pisses all over soul calibur 2 and doa2U. omg just omg. namco am gods.

why the fuck dipshits play sc2 instead of sc3 when they a) own a ps2 and b) sc3 is better-looking, better balanced, and has more characters is beyond me. oh that's right, they owned a gamecube first and are gay for link. nintendo fans should be banned from fighting games 4ever.

I fully admit that that SCIII is amazing.  But why the fucking fuck did Namco not release it also on Gamecube?  There's absolutely no reason NOT to.

And again, absolutely no fucking reason to shit on the Wii, but hey, that's you.  Most closed-minded gamer ever.

My group of friends stopped playing SC2 (all 3 versions of it) as soon as one of us got SC3. I suck at fighting games in general, but for some reason I'm actually able to play the SC games decently. I don't know why.

because the gamecube hardware couldn't handle it, because the gamecube's tiny discs couldn't hold all the content, because the gamecube controller is crap for fighting games, and because everyone should have owned a ps2 by then, anyhow!

because no-one in japan bought an xbox? seriously, how would being on the xbox have improved it -- there isn't a fighter on the xbox that looks as good as it!

Because SC2 is still a bit more complex, and doesn't have as many glitches/gimped game play.  That's the "official word" from the so-called pros.  The game was released at home first, and it didn't get the proper testing, so it suffered because of it.  Doesn't have shit to do with the Game Cube dude.

Personally I don't care and I like playing SC3.  It's fun as fuck to play versus matches with randomly-created characters. 

And it's definitely the best-looking 3D fighter from the last gen.  Still looks amazing, especially on the PS3 with enhancements enabled.

...what? Seriously, sarcasm? I can't tell anymore, even with you. I mean using a sales age argument as justification for a game not appearing on superior hardware? Not to mention thinking there would be no improvement? Even on Gamecube (aside from content).

Also, shouldn't you blame Sony fans for this considering they're the only ones that received this game. And it still sold like ass. At least SCII PS2 sold pretty well. What happened?

Anyway, I think DOA2 Ultimate might still be at the top.  Those backgrounds are amazing...

DOA2U looks great. VF4:EVO looks amazing too.

DOA2U looks great. VF4:EVO looks amazing too.

But VF4 doesn't look as good as the arcade version.  Soul Calibur III and DOA2U definitely look better.  Tekken 5 too.

And it's not at the top, but I think KOF Maximum Impact 2 (And the original too, I guess) look really nice...very clean and resembling the character designers' artstyles.

I haven't played Tekken 5 or SC3.

I don't like Tekken, and I didn't care too much for SC2.

I can get behind a Soul Calibur 3 appreciation thread. I was actually thinking about starting it up again, there are still a few things I haven't unlocked yet. There are just soooooo many things to unlock.

If you think the hardcore prefers SC2 to 3 because of the GC and Link you ARE sorely mistaken.  They couldnīt  care less about that shit.
