There really isn’t much to say about this image other than to note how pretty it is graphically (and some might argue the background character, as well). Soul Calibur was the killer-app for the Dreamcast launch all those years ago. It outshone even the excellent for its time Sonic Adventure. While Soul Calibur II was a fair success, many fans felt let down by the PS2 exclusive Soul Calibur III. Now, both fans and Namco hope that the third time is the charm for making a truly worthy sequel that again recaptures the attention of the gaming community.
