What's next for Soul Calibur?

Soul Calibur 7, Harada already hinted as much

When is Tekken 8...

Probably won't happen again. They made the mistake of releasing at the top of Tekken 7s hype.

If they want to save the game they need to go f2p with rollback. Maybe they can sell battle passes or something but even then it's likely to fail

>Harada already hinted as much
Isn't Harada not with the company anymore

He’s not a game director, just a producer for Bandai now

It'd be nice to get another game, but I'm not expecting one

I wouldn't trust any FG franchise to go F2P besides SF, MK and Tekken. Every other franchise doesn't sell nearly as much to make that work. Maybe a franchise game based on something huge like DBZ. Genshin Impact

And MK shouldn't go F2P, their games have the single player content to deserve the 60 bucks

....so anyways
whens tekken 8 bros

I thought the main SoulCalibur guy left Bandai Namco? So it might be dead unless they do a reboot in 10 or 20 years.

SoulCalibur is the perfect franchise for them to try the free to play model with how the game is 75% dress up and 25% fighting game now.
They could even do gacha rolls for outfit parts.
I hate that this is probably what's going to happen to one of my favorite IPs.

Harada...

Dead or Alive...

SoulCalibur already had a f2p game for ps3 and it died too

Why do you say that ? You don’t think he’ll be the director for Tekken 8?

iirc DoA failure didn't had much to do with the f2p model

Okubo left. He was the producer for SCVI and a really vocal advocate for the IP at Bandai Namco.

I think Jap devs need to wait for Project L before they try F2P. See what happens to it and either ape it or learn from it

>lol faggotry on the fighting game community
it can't be worse than what we already have r-r-right?

They'll be better than smashfags pretending to be fightanfags

Just needs to support their e sports programs more unfortunately, that's teh only way for fighting games to stay alive

>Roster faggotry for BOTH project L and Smash on the front page 24/7
a fate worse than death

The long awaited return of Patroklus

I haven't played LoL for like a decade(?) but I will be rosterfagging hard for the cute girls they've added in their game since.

I'll see you there

They'd actually have to have a budget for a SCVII though as the SCIV engine they've recycled for the past 15 years was already showing it's age in SCVI

No that’s his official position in the company. He was upgraded to executive producer and is tasked with helping other team leaders pull through in bandai. His own words too. He still closely puts himself in the games development but official control/creative lead of the Tekken project was given to his buddy Michael Murray and some other jap who’s been in Tekken project as long as Murray

More tits

to become the next DOA

More meter moves, more anime bullshit character archetypes like 2b. But as long as I can stab with my sophi, I'll buy it and play it.

Oh interesting. I still see Harada at all the round tables so I assumed he was still directing Tekken projects.

>But as long as I can stab with my sophi,
Nice

They need to stop trying to cater to the RPG and anime community because those people hate PvP games. They should cater to coomers and maybe puzzle or fps fags. Add some hentai character and Professor Layton and see how that goes.

Sex with before and after Amy!

>RPG and anime fans hate PVP
Okay maybe.
>hentai and puzzle fans love PVP
Wait what?

Anyways, Soulcalibur has had anime influence for a long time. I don’t see that going away. I also think the SCVI guest characters were pretty great choices. All three were pretty high profile without being too crazy (like the Star Wars characters). I guess Haohmaru was the least famous, but I’m a huge Samurai Shodown fan so I love the exposure for SNK, especially since Samsho finally got a new entry in 2019.

So did Raphael ever, you know

Time travel shenanigans cause Leixia to end up in the same time period as her mother (young) and then they take turns sitting on my face and my dick.

They'll just re release 2

Only if Amy wanted him to. Which, considering
>You shall make a fine pet for Amy
Maybe she's into that shit.

Roger her senseless?

I wish I could bestow a big budget on the next one, VI was good but clearly made on a shoestring

>What's next for Soul Calibur?
in the next game?
-more dogshit character choices/rosters
-more rock/paper/scissor casual shit
-more cut content to be sold as DLC

They really need to see it in a "Weapon reps" perspective and not include too many fighters wielding the same or similar weapons. Like imagine being the most popular weapon fighting franchise of all time but nobody in your latest game has a fucking mace, hammer, flail, a normal 2 handed sword, etc. It's the reason why people flock to terrible pvp games like the souls series simply because of all the different options you have.

Harada helped give feedback on SC6, but Okubo was the main producer who helped start and drive the product to completion. Unfortunately he left Bamco after season two of DLC for SC6 finished. Without him there, there's not really any strong voices left to ask management for more SC stuff.

When did he hint at that? Also if Bamco releasing another fighting game without proper rollback netcode and it’s Soulcalibur 7 that gets the unlucky deal of being the last one that’s delay based I’m going to gas Bamco itself.

Flails are a meme and you know it.

It sold >2 million units
Another game is guaranteed

has this game had an update yet?
i stopped playing when I heard they were putting that robot shit in the game.

>Professor Layton and see how that goes.
I'm down with this.

SCVI was pretty fun, I'm sad about the version of Setsuka they brought back through.
Also the rock paper scissors shit, that sucked.
Her giving up on revenge but also being the wrong one hurt me deeply.
The netcode also hurt me, since I was struggling to get a good match like a week after release

Hentai has a long history with fighting games. I had a porn game on Sega Saturn before my mom took it away, Advanced Variable Geo. PS1 version is censored.

the game had its last patch months ago, and that's all bamco stopped to support the game
2 seasons of DLC and some years of tourneys, it's more what no one expected

It had to do with all the FGC figureheads shitting on it relentlessly because it's easy and free clout to go "muh gorillion dollars of DLC" while ignoring that at the time it was entirely cosmetic and all characters were in the base game and you didn't have to buy anything mechanical.

Why is there such a DOA victim narrative on Yea Forums. People didn't want to play DOA because they didn't like the gameplay. No one shat on VF5 and it still died and DOA has always been considered the worse VF clone.
