The game is great but the lack of budget is evident

[rafahd]

I love soul calibur, it´s my most beloved video game saga. Im very happy to play SCVI on pc for the first time (clean downsampled image...ect...) but its sad to see the game in this shape.

1. Arcade mode its a joke

3 fights in time attack style mode. No intro or ending, no select character screen with music. This is just to hard to understand. I don´t want to fight 3 times, let that... to online play. Just be traditional!

2. Old character models with only one costume

Low poly characters from ps3/xbox360 era. It´s ok, the game look great in ue4, i can aceppt it, BUT, the roster lacks characters and costumes. This is a problem. Bandai are reusing assets from the past for "free" but don´t give us tira for free, or yung sung, cassandra, patrokolos... And they are planing to add more dlc as this game is a free to play. Don´t do this, give us more free content!

3. Stages are landscapes, looks good but, the lack of more small and detailed stages is pretty evident. If you recicle old characters, why not old stages?

So... Well. Its pretyy sad Bandai Bosses dont care about SC and try to convert this saga in a free to play sque low budget game. We deserve more love, come on bandai you are rich and we need more free stuff and glorious true next gen soul calibur vii next time.

Low budget shows but it's not so bad. I dont really understand peoples obsession with single player modes, that is not what fighting games are for especially in this online era. With small budget I would prefer them to focus more on other aspects than waste time and money for some cut scenes etc. This isn't an RPG. Costumes can be a dissapointment but there is CAS so you can do whatever you want there is really no point in wasting time for designing them if players can do it themselves howewer they like. Some people say editor sucks compared to previous ones and I dont know because I didnt play them but it still ofers much more than other fighters. Here you can actually build you fighter not just slap some predefined costumes, accesories and colors on default ones. Small stages? They already are too small and there is too much ring outs, you want them even more small? I dont want multi level stages also, flow of gameplay is distrurbed enough by RE and CE. I hope we will get some of that content in time from dlc, they already confirmed music from previous games and some free editor parts

What are you talking about? Arcade mode is 8 fight in a row, not 3.

They said they made the game in a way that it would not require much CPU because in a game as fast paced as this one the experience would be totally ruined if you had constant FPS drops due to "very good details in characters and backgrounds".

Maybe but that only shows how consoles limit potential of games. And I think SC6 looks okay

They are not for online either, game fails at checking ping to other players, and with whats left of the game population by now its 7 on 10 games with lag, and getting matched with the same lag warrior twice in 15 minutes. It was fine after realse when the game had some more players, now its quite dead and there is no solid single player modes, like where is survival mode I liked it and played often instead of arcade, but its not there now. The arcade AI is qute dumb, on normal AI is set to not block CE, it never blocks damn CE, it never happened. On hard maybe a bit better and legendary is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with input reading. I had more fun playing SC2 on max difficulty and AI in general felt better there than here.

I get lag in maybe 1/10 of the matches, mostly it's working fine and Im not even in the area with most people and best internet connections. Online will never be perfect in any game because it always will be some delay. It happens but not to the point of unplayability (I cant play for example during some times of day because my connection is ♥♥♥♥ then but thats not a problem of SC6 but fault of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ISP)

Its fault of this particular game, I'm playing other online games without any issues whatsoever and this one lags af, not to mention that lag in a game that is so fast is totally killing all the fun.

You are like the only one getting lag here. I played some games last night with maybe one or two having any lag.

Lack of budget is evident is some what true. But not have a full roster debut of 30+ characters of the past is dumb! If they are smart enough and creative enough and not think about so much about future money and think what gamers want. They would come out strong. They flop is also lack of creative idea. They are too greedy and lost focus!

[Thundercracker]

watch the entire credits and tell me how low budget this game is. when you have 5+ teams working on a game, it has a budget, and that budget isnt very low.
