Do you think that a collection of the old SC games could potentially be made ?

There's been rumours about a potential collection since a little more than a year ago. I think that this could be possible considering that it wouldn't require an enormous budget to make and could gather some money for the development of the 7th entry.

I think this could work knowing how popular SC 2 is, a lot of people would want to pick the game to play on modern platforms.

A collection with Soul Blade, SC, SC 2 and SC 3 sounds perfect to me. What do you guys think ?

I'll buy anything SC related nowdays, so I do hope so. Unless it's SCV, I'm not going to touch that.

There were some old games on Xbox. SC1 and SC2HD. But there were unlisted. (well, it is very annoying.)

Now PS 4/5 has old SC. Currently Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny.
There is rumor that PS5 will support PS3 emulation or backward compatibility.

I highly doubt a collection of older Soul calibur and by proxy Soul Edge/Blade will be ever made.

There was a huge Tweet on X (twitter) that explained why Soul Calibur may never come around again... it mostly started due to higher ups wanting games that were "more" and aimed towards specific audiences.

Soul calibur 5 really alienated the fanbase with all the newer "hip" characters.

if you want to hear about it all the youtube video explains it with the tweet.

Oh yeah, I have watched the video already when it came out. Really good analysis on how the industry works nowadays. Although it is very unlikely, I still choose to believe that we will get something Soul Calibur related in the coming years.

I might be delusional yes, but I remain hopeful. Besides Harada's experiences and accurate perspective on the matter. I don't think that he has the authority to know whether a new installment of the series is in the works or not, and even if he knew, he wouldn't be allowed to talk about it anyways. His take on the future of the series is solely based on his speculations.

IMO, I feel like a re-release of IV should be looked into. Due to the existence of Broken Destiny, it's impossible to enjoy that game as a complete experience due to SCIV being split between the home and handheld versions, though the biggest challenges I think would be the guest characters.

Yoda would definitely need to be replaced since his natural state is a tech crouch, and there would likely need to be a new guest to replace Kratos for PC and Xbox platforms.

I wold love to replay the first 3 games on PC without needing to install an emulator so yes.

An SC/Tekken collection with rollback could happen but Bandai Namco don't care about preservating classic old games like Capcom, SNK and Arc sys do.

So their previous games will be forever be on previous console limbo with no chance of doing a remaster.

They tried with SC1 on Xbox 360/IOS/Android and SC2HDO on PS3/360 but it didn't go well cause some contents were missing

A re-release of IV seems like the most morally correct IMO.

IV specifically was never a complete experience due to the game being split between SoulCalibur IV on the home consoles, and Broken Destiny on the PSP.

IV had the Star Wars guests (though admittedly, Yoda won't be missed if they removed him), the Tower of Souls, online play, and an arcade ladder falsely advertised as a story mode
BD had Dampierre, an additional guest character*, even more cosmetic items, and the Gauntlet mode

A remaster of SoulCalibur IV could potentially have all the content from IV and BD in one game, though I dunno what the fate of Starkiller be with Kathleen Kennedy wanting people to think that he doesn't exist, despite George Lucas' involvement with The Force Unleashed

*Kratos, but I imagine a modern re-release will need to replace him for Xbox and PC
