Soul No Longer Burns on Xbox, GC

Posted by Zonk on from the so-no-sophitia-for-me-then dept.

GamesIndustry.biz has the word that what was just speculation the other day is now fact. Soul Calibur III will be a PS2 exclusive title. From the article: "The new game, which is scheduled only for 2005, will add three new characters to the mix as well as a new character creation mode, allowing players to create their own fighters in the game."

      I am confused as well. The game was a huge success on all 3 consoles - I am extemely surprised they are cutting out that kind of installed user base, regardless of what back-room dealings Sony has been whoring out.

      Another reply commented that it may be due to Microsoft and Nintendo being more forthcoming about their new systems, scaring off users from buying current-generation games.. But what sense does this make when you consider that Nintendo has officially announced that Revolution will be backwards compatible with GameCube?

      My only hope is that this is a 'for 6 months' type exclusitivity deal, otherwise Nintendo and Xbox fans are getting royally screwed over.

    I'm sure this is that same 'exclusive' deal that Grand Theft Auto had with the Playstation (seeing as San Andreas will be out on the Xbox this year), as D0A2 had on the Dreamcast (which came out on the PS2), and as Splinter Cell had on the Xbox (which later came out on all systems).
