Could Tekken 8 Revive Soul Calibur? 

Do you think Bandai Namco should consider making Soulcalibur 7? And what would you like to see in the possible new entry?

We need SoulCalibur 7 as soon as possible. Hopefully they unveil it at the VGAs this December!

I’m still playing SC6. Playing the same 6 guys for the last 3 years😂

Linking Soul Calibur and Tekken lore further would be fun and easy promotion... - Have Azazel be a secret boss - Introduce an ancestor for the Mishimas or Hachijos as a playable character - Kunimitsu could join Yoshimitsu - The origins of the Ravens could be explored In reverse, we could have a descendant of the Soul Calibur cast appear as DLC in Tekken 8. A Greek fighter called Sophie, perhaps? or one of Soul Calibur's many many immortal characters could join the fight.

new soul calibur new virtua fighter give it to me baby

Soul calibur with production value of tekken 8 would be so awesome....

Bring back Soul Caliber 3s "create a soul", CaS having their own identity instead of mimicking cast characters was what made me love it so much!

I loved the old soul calibur games...."this victory strengthed the soul of so and so" good times

It's slowly reviving Virtua Fighter so, yes. I can definitely see that happening.

25y SoulK Tournament veteran here: We pray everyday. ❤

I hope they truly make Soul Calibur 7, it is my favourite fighting game ever

My hopium intake today is approaching dangerous levels... PLEASE LET THERE BE SC8

Soul Calibur is my favorite series... ❤

A Soul Calibur Collection would be most welcome

A Soul Calibur with a amazing single player, great online, cross play, and accessible gameplay that doesn't rely on lame baby mechanics, would be just as successful as Tekken.

When they announced 6 at the game awards I stood up cheered like they scored a game winning TD

Here are some ideas that could implemented in Soul Calibur 7 that i would love to see: - More fantasy rpg looking visuals (i think the overall anime tone of sc6 hurt it's design more than it helped. I would love to see it coming back to the looks of Soul Calibur 3 or even 2) - Less visuals noice. Even though Tekken 8 is itself loaded to the brim with flashy effects, it still manages to not look too tiring to the eyes when you try to react to fast animations (plus there's the option to tone down the effects witch i really like) - content rich. I think Soul Calibur 3 was the king of the series in single player content. if Soul Calibur 7 could double down in its character creation it would be really cool to add the turn base strategy game or an rpg system so that it could go well with the pre mentioned fantasy rpg aesthetics.

One correction for the video. Soul Calibur 6 did have a system similar to Heat in Tekken 8. Soul Charge. It's an install (4A+B+K). Some moves gets extensions and deals bigger damage in the duration of Soul Charge. The only difference is that you have to build up the meter first before being able to use it. Fun Fact: Some of Yoshimitsu's new moves came from Soul Calibur 6 when Yoshimitsu is in Soul Charge.

Tekken 3 came out 2 years prior to the DC version of Soul Calibur. The exclusivity was likely because the Dreamcast had the most powerful hardware at the time.

God, I wish. Soul calibur 7 would be amazing, but 6 not selling a trillion copies pretty much was the final nail

2 things about the "expanding the weapon types" section: there are historically 3 characters using axes in the series, Rock in his Soul Edge version, Astaroth, and Lizardman. only Astaroth made it into 6, which is a damn shame, but there are axes in the series. Secondly, the Americas are discovered in the series' timeline, and Rock was even born there, having a native American character could totally make sense

Hope so soul blade A K A soul caliber was my first fighting game

I absolutely hope so. The state of 3D fighters is still bad. We need more variety. And soul calibur is one of my favorite games. SC6 despite not having much of a budget, was still a fantastic game.

bring back brave edges and make two separate guard impacts one for highs and mids and another for lows that acts like tekkens low parry

My soul is still burning and patiently waiting for a new Soul Calibur game... Send in The Round Table Knights

Soulcalibur 1-3 really were its golden days.

this video makes me very hopeful! i already have faith we will eventually get a new soulcalibur but its nice to see a channel with a wide reach discussing the possibility in such a positive way rather than the doom and gloom you see people online have in regard to the subject. im very excited for the possibility 😊

Okay. So... the problem with this recommendation is that breaking up and cluttering backgrounds is the OPPOSITE of what would result in a smooth online gameplay expeirence. 90% of the problem with modern-graphical games trying to sync their rollback is that in UE, everything in the background is *also* considered a "gameplay object" for syncing purposes; where for a gameplay-focused experience, the only things that truly need to sync are the player characters; and the few interactive elements. This is why you constantly see online Top 8 tournaments with everyone throwing down in the Training Room/Grid stage - people are bottlenecked into this stage because it strips AWAY all of that unnecessary state syncing that goes with interactive backgrounds, and focuses on the part that matters - the performance of the playable characters. I think they should just go back and make a Star Wars Calibur game. THAT is the sequel to 4 everyone was holding their breath for. Reversal Edge was kinda wack - but more than anything, because the command for it replaced a throw command that I particularly used a lot, the B+G. It would've worked fine as a standalone attack, kind of like a Focus Attack in SFIV, without the whole cinematic RPS thing attached, as well. But the rest of the elements are just fine! Critical Edges are actually pretty cool; and are actually a throwback to Soul Blade/Edge; where super combos like this were universal and gauged (A+B+K)... and you had a few follow-up options to end them with.

It should.

I have a feeling that SC7 would be a great game to release towards the tail end or middle of this console generation now with all the biggest heavy hitters having been put out already.

I honestly don't mind reversal edge, and having two bars of meter at our disposal. While Yoshi may not need it, Geralt heavily benefits from it.

I had high hopes that Soul Calibur 7 would be more successful than 6. Since it would be a retelling of Soul Calibur 2-4. What I want to see is Cassandra preventing her niece from becoming Soul Edge’s new vessel, & her nephew being forced to fight his big sister, with Soul Calibur manipulating him into doing it.

I mean SCVII met & exceeded the goal Bamco gave the dev team. I’m pretty confident it may return, and if it looks anywhere as good as Tekken 8, graphics and cinematic wise (with hopefully a bigger budget cause SCVI was admittedly made on a shoe-string budget), I’ll be Happy I DO like Reversal Edge, but yeah its TOO EASILY exploitable so to fix it IMO 1. It costs meter 2. Disable in Online Rank & any competitive play. MY SOUL STILL BURNS 🔥🔥🔥🔥

If you can find someone to Champion it for the the company and assure them that it will be successful-- Oh wait, it already happened, it was the latest Sc, and jt failed and the director who fought for it left the company. 2nd time's the charm?

SC is a series that comes. Loves. Dies and vanished only to come back again and again.

I hope so. I recently replayed SC3 with friends and we were shocked by how many modes and story mode cutscenes there were. they put way more effort back in the day. we need that sort of passion in the next game.

Soulcalibur 6 sold 2 million copies, which is the second best-selling game in the series. The best-selling game is still Soulcalibur 2, which sold 2.6 million copies, so there's a nice chance that it could have a sequel.

Soul calibur 6 graphics still holds up to this day!!

If granted a massive budget, hopefully they bring back additional weapon styles (like in SC3).

Soul calibur has some of the most interesting and personable characters, Love the rosters and I hope we get a new entry.

As much as I would like another entry into the SC series, I don't see Tekken 8 reviving it.

This title just brightened my day. ! Please! 🙏🏾

Well SoulCaliber 6 is on sale for $9.99 (down from $59.99) in the PlayStation store. Is it worth it?

I still think that Big Daddy from the Bioshock series would be a great guest character. Baiken from Guilty Gear would be sick too. Karlach from BG3 might be an interesting possibility that would bring in a whole different group of people.

SC6 sold extremely well-they are almost certainly already well into development of a sequel

Im still playing Sc6. Almost every day. Trying to achieve that S1 rank. The ranked play is more populated on the Xbox. Not so much on the Ps4/5 but there are plenty playing casual mode.

I definitely need that Soul Calibur 7. SC and bloody roar will always be my favorite fighting games.

Soulcalibur seems to have more interesting strategy , mental warfare if you will, while tekken seems to be simply more mechanically intensive, but the god awful 10-15seconds of watching your character get juggled in games like tekken and mk is why I will always remain in soulcalibur

It would be great to have SC revived. I would love to see a revival of Dead or Alive franchise. Sadly that has faded away...

The meter in Soul Calibur 6 (soul charge) is actually a great mechanic that shouldn't be removed. But you are right about the convenience of removing Reversal Edge, yet it is a mechanic very sheldomly used in high gameplay.

If there is a new Soulcalibur, I hope they are able to add another Tekken Character into the roster and have that fighting style available in the customizer so we could make martial artist characters like Batman or Ryu easier.

i would really want another soul calibur man

We also need a new deff jam even tho it dont includes rappers maybe movie stars or sum

honestly I would love a new soul calibur that looks more like Soul caliburs beautiful artwork if they did not go for a more realistic style, something similar to what guilty gear did

With how expensive game development is now, I don't think they'll find any worth investing on another Soul Calibur game. SoulCalibur VI took almost 3 years for it to sell 2.5 million, which is below sales standards in modern games. Game development is 3-5 times more expensive than how it was back in 2008-2012. If they ever make another Soul Calibur game, we can only expect to be a fully committed one. Lesser content, smaller roster, dull story presentation, and shallower stages. At this point, I would prefer having a remaster of Soul Calibur III.

Pretty positive sc7 is already in development. 6 was a huge unexpected but much needed success and single handedly revived the series by going back to its roots and adding fun mechanics for newcomers. It will always be my favorite fg franchise and i have faith that sc7 will get an eventual announcement soon. I love t8 but no other fg will ever take the place of sc for me.

I loved SC IV b/c it was the first game I played where they bounced. I enjoy VI. Maybe VII could include Stellar Blade.

Get rid of the constant cinematics and meter. That's not SoulCalibur. Make it like 2. Give it crossplay and rollback. You got a hit.

Funny enough my friends and I picked soul Calibur back up. But I'm more interested in custom characters and custom character movesets

The series needs to go back to the roots. It needs to stay away from flashy combos and jailed attacked. Get rid of all the meter and one button comebacks, and the game will be a hit. The original premise was a weapon based fighter that was simple and easy to get into. Tekken 8 requires some hefty practice.

Honestly for some reason I’ve always preferred the Soul Calibur series more than its partner series Tekken even if that series has more widespread popularity just prefer the more fantasy setting and weapon fighting styles. Similar to how I feel with Elder Scrolls towards the Fallout series.

Ultimately, it's up to the shareholders. The larger the budget, the more Project Soul can do with SC VII.

Not could, WILL even a roumor that dates back to 2023 a remaster collection... so yes there's your answer.

I've always followed both series with interest. What's really funny to me is that while I enjoy Yoshimitsu a lot on SC, I hate using him on Tekken 8.

I like soul calibur I hope they take feedback into consideration if they make another

Soul Calibur and Dead or Alive need to come back

I love Tekken & Soul Calibur both But there's an imbalance; A Tekken 7 & 8 - but no Soul Calibur 7 We must maintain the continuum of both games!

Short answer: No. Long answer: No, sir. And I hate to say it, as a huge SC fan. But Namco just said they cancelled 5 games. I'm sure none were SC7, but we all know how risk-averse big publishers are now. Namco will likely keep milking the Tekken cash cow, rather than invest in creating and supporting SC.

7:00 OK but what makes a fighting game good is not how accurately the environment gets scuffed up during the battle. All of this stuff about a new engine is probably really expensive; if they made an SC7 at all, that'd be great. Do SC6 but take out reversal edge and put in good rollback and there you go! You've got a fantastic game.

I'm baffled that they've yet to include a SC character as a guest.

If anyone is hoping for a next Soul Calibur game don’t expect one anytime soon Harada who was part of Project Soul stated to not ask about Soul Calibur. Soul Calibur V and VI didn’t not sell well enough for Bandai. VI was fought by Motohiro Okubo to make and left Bandai after the release of VI.

they need to make many nods to soul calibur 2 and 3 in many ways also

If they do make SoulCalibur 7 they should try to get a guest character from Golden Axe.

I feel like the sheer succes PLUS the extra MTX revenue could be enough. The biggest problem is convincing Bandai Namco executives, but if Harada proved that he can revive Tekken and then make it more popular then ever, I trust he can convince them to greenlight a new SC. Yeah, the previous director left, but I'm sure there are other experienced devs from Project Soul who could lead it.

Does your soul still burn?

Am I the only one who doesn't like having to be at low health to unleash a super move?

SC7 killed itself w/ RoShamBo mechanics, and it burnt its trap card by addin' Geralt for clout. It's over.

Waiting for SC7.

Ngl a new SC would be hype af built on UE5!

I love soul calibur more than tekken. Bring back spawn in soul calibur 7, for all systems!!

While, I love your presentation. I don't agree that the models look better in Tekken 8 than they did in 7.

Assuming I live for awhile I'll just be waiting for new sc while playing the old ones and tekken

We could hope for them asking someon like arc sys to make one, granblue has Sigfried and 2B (well she was guest previous) so would be fun to make a Sam Sho style soul cal

Why can’t soul caliber come out by it self why it gotta wait for tekken?

Soul Caliber was the greatest. Vader, Vader, Vader heehee.

I NEED SC7 to happen. But I hope they really put proper effort in it even post release and obviously great online. Oh and o bviously give us an IMPROVED character creator instead of copying the previous one. Oh and yeah get rid of Reversal edge.

They probably put Cassandra in Tekken 8 for later.Lizard man can replace Alex.Soulcaliber can be revived if BANDAI would give the game love like they did with TEKKEN 8.

"Could the franchise that destroyed Soul Calibur revive Soul Calibur?"

I don't really think so, because that would have happened everytime a Tekken game was released, and it wasn't the case. A shame, because, I am not very fan of Tekken, while I love SoulCalibur a lot. Also, the lore of SoulCalibur is just amazing, and addicting. Even SCV had a lot of great potential, especially with the Arc between, Viola/Zwei/Nightmare/Raphael and Siegfried, saldy they wasted the chance. SoulCalibur VI made a perfect job with the lore in the Soul Chronicles, even with the static images, it was perfect, Sadly that gameplay wise Soul Chronicles is a snooze fest, the enemies are just standing dummies, ruining the mode for completely.

Soul Calibur 6, gameplay issues aside, suffered from poor content and lack of identity. Groh and Azwel are fun character, but they are the least soulcalibur-looking characters in the series (including guest characters. Yoda looks less out of place) They did the main story and half of the cast dirty as well. Individual stories are nice, but not when Raphael, Siegfried and Amy are the only ones with writing. The main story written worse than average arcade playthroughs of se-sc3. Hopefully, 7th game will have at least something on par with 1 or 2 in terms of content. 3's arcade mode stand-in is probably the best fighting game arcade/story mode.

Im dying for soul calbur 7

Would like and always been wanting a spear user. The best example: Zhao Yun from Dynasty Warriors

Soulcalibur is like a finely tuned classic car that is worth fortune, Tekken is Instagram influencer sports car.

To me - Soul Calibur 2 & 3 were the peak; due to the ideal formula in the fighting mechanics; & the Shear amount of content - stuff to do Take all that, give it today's graphics & frame rates & sound quality, online features, cross platform features, & there you go

I'm so ready for SC7

If they did something new with the series then yes, SC6 was just more of the same, the fact that they just did a soft-reboot was boring and the story mode was kinda meh... my favourite mode in the series was what they did in 3 with the softcore strategy elements with your troops

Just like how Tekken 7 brought SoulCalibur 6? Yeah

You know that BAMCO considered SC6 a financial success, and Team Soul was pulled to develop T8, which is basically SC6.5.

I can see Bandai Namco making another SC game the thing is tho I dont think it will be successful on the competitive side and having the mass popularity. Will probably do decent sales wise like SC6 tho

soul calibur doesn’t need tekken 8 to get a sequel. SC6 far exceeded their target sales getting us an unplanned season 2 and a world tour(Covid nixed it). The soul calibur team also worked on T8 ( should be obvious looking at the new mechanics). SC7 is all but guaranteed after how well SC6 did
