Not so.

For the Spanish line part. Voice actors frequently portray languages they do not speak perfectly well, it requires a lot of takes and careful guidance until they get each line just right but the game industry nails it frequently. You see some real stinkers (Stereotypically Americans trying to portray Germans in bad WW2 films) but sometimes it is done so excellently you do not even notice. I was impressed by the handling of foreign languages by people who did not speak them in Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds. He has Germans speaking French, Hungarians speaking English etc etc. Film not a game you say? No difference says I.

As for the no pronunciation part. I know nothing about Na'vi, Klingon and Elvish were both fully laid out with proper pronunciation for everything. They can be done just as well as any other language so long as the Voice ACting Director knows exactly what they want eveyrhting to sound like.

hmmmmmmm uve got a point there...i cant comment on that right now, cus i dnt kno how...

but speaking fluently was just one of the problems. the other is the fact that, like someone else said, soulcalibur has a couple of characters with whom they like to keep origins a secret or unkown. given them a language would ruin the unknowness, and im sure NB doesnt want that....

The time and resources that would be spent on giving characters localized voices which is a feature that really isn't needed, could be better spent on making sure the game is not broke.

I just realized; if plotwise SC is pretty much done (given all the endings are more decisive in a character's fate than any of the other SC's), then SC5 might as well be SC Tag.

If it's SC Tag and is anything like Tekken Tag, that means all characters (and maybe movesets? YES) would come back for one big bang.

*drools* =DD

Hwang back, plz, and Necrid, hahahaha, that would make fhowarang happy. And more unblockables for Yoshi to make me happy.

If Necrid comes back he'll be banned instantly.

Umm... no... the majority of people who spoke all these different languages, actually knew those languages. The guy who played the bad guy (BEST. VILLAIN. EVER.), speaks something like 6 languages; which is how he was able to go from one language to another in a single scene. The movie itself was TRITE, just as most Tarantino films are. There is no reason to spend 20 minutes developing the character of a character who dies at the end of the scene! The movie was the same thing over and over; it was basically one, 20 minute scene where people talk and then people die, then repeated six times.

Omg there is no sc5!
Close this stupid thread already!

They need too make SC5 more user friendly too widen and grow it's fanbase. Casual players struggle at this game from the start and leave alone. Heck at times i'll invite some friends over too play and they try and be like wtf is this. SC is the most complex FG behind VF probably why that get's no love nowadays.

It's way simpler than it looks...

Get hype!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First details of Soul Calibur 5

FUCK

I concur. Damn you

Are you serious?

^^this x 10

SC while having tons of depth is probably the easiest fighter to get into. The move list is very simple and coherent. You can mash A and know some horizontal attack will come out and generally have an idea what to use it for as well the direction you press is generally gonna yield a similar effect across all characters. The only really hard thing about it is memorizing the entire movelist of a character but that's also handled well since nearly every move is a direction or double tap plus an attack button.

Yeah whoever thinks this game has a difficult learning curve needs to be hit. Hard to master, easy to learn.

Most casuals gamers i meet say they have an difficult time picking SC up and find SF or FG's like T6, MK, a lot easier. If they want too learn they have plenty too learn unlike SSB etc.

Difficult how? But who cares, they are casual gamers and would not have stuck with the game anyway. Plus NB already does more than enough to cater to the casual fan.

So Rick Astley's gonna be a guest character in the next SC?

Yes indeed. Rick Astley is going to be a beast in SC5. His CF will be him doing the white guy shoulder shuffle for 5 minutes.

The 'SC5 vid' has content from Vivo in it so it's blocked in Japan (due to copyright grounds, it says).

What's in the vid?
