SoulCalibur on XBLA gets ever closer…
My excitement levels for this game literally exploded (gah, there goes my favorite jeans) when it was announced that the Dreamcast version of SoulCalibur was coming to XBox LIVE Arcade. In between then and now, my unadulterated fanboyism waned a bit when it was discovered that there would be no online play, however, I was still very interested in being able to get a high-def remake of the Dreamcast’s defining title. Fast forward to now, and videos have started to make their way out showing off the improved graphics of the XBLA port of the game, and I must say that I am impressed! The jaggies that are so obvious and out of control on the Dreamcast version (let’s face it, we didn’t notice back then) have been completely smoothed out, and the game is running in a ridiculously high resolution! I can has happy again?
No, ‘fraid not. Sadly, this video also confirms that the game will NOT have the widescreen support I was hoping for. Am I getting too picky here? A graphically enhanced version of one of the greatest games of all time should be enough shouldn’t it? I guess it all depends on how many MS Points this puppy sells for when it gets released alongside SoulCalibur IV this summer.
