Soulcalibur IV to Get Darth Vadar DLC

42
Dan Webb

You can't say this news is going to shock anyone, but according to Namco, Darth Vadar will soon be available as DLC in Soulcalibur IV ... but for a price.

The press release states "due to overwhelming fan response" each of the console exclusive characters will be available on the other console via their marketplace. Call me cynical, but when they said "due to overwhelming fan response", did they mean "so it appears our marketing team were right, this IS a great way to milk our audience."

Anyway, for those that care, the DLC will be available on Thursday October 23rd for 400 MSP.

  • Not surprised at all.
  • 400 Points just to play as Darth Vader? Are they insane or just stupid?
  • @#2 Both. I expected this...
  • it was gonna happen and only sad arses will pay 400 as it a rip-off
  • Be glad it isn't 800. Besides, Microsoft is probably behind the pricing.
  • traded this in a long time ago
  • Vadar? Is this a Vader knock-off? ;)
  • Completed this game over a month ago and traded it in... But DARTH VADER!! OMG.... must.. buy.. game.. again! Must play as one more character for 400ms points! It's the deal of the century =O
  • I don't think Darth Vader is over-priced, he's one of the most iconic movie characters ever, you know. But it's true that they are ripping us money - they should've gave the characters to us in the disc.
  • #9 Darth Vader IS on the disc, or so it would seem, apparently someone with a modded 360 hacked Soul Calibur IV and putted up a YouTube video of Darth Vader and Yoda fighting.
  • At last! Been waiting for Vader for ages! We all knew it would happen, it's just a shame that we have to pay... not that the price is gonna stop me!
  • @#10 - Do not be fooled by the tricks of youtube trolls.
  • @10# I'm not so sure about it. If they did lock Darth Vader so, I think it would be illegal. Then they would actually sell us something we have already bought (Darth Vader). Definetly illegal.
  • Meh, i sold soul calibur a while ago.
  • i have aalredy know this about 2 dasy ago :O, but why wwon't it be free :/
  • omg i need some points
  • Will they be providing any downloadable horse armor? $5 for one character is too much, but I probably would have bought a special edition for $5 more if Vader were involved.
  • meh, A bit of a gyp to me.
  • @#13, Not illegal. The same thing happened with Beautiful Katamari.
  • Garbage; why pay $5 to play with 1 more character months after the games release. If I want to play something as Vader, i'll play Force Unleashed Chapter 1 over and over and pretend me tossing around Wookies is me getting Ring Outs on a bunch of Voldos.
  • People will complain, but odds are, they'll get it anyway. I don't own the game, but maybe I'll borrow it again. Only had the Hero King achievement left anyway.
  • traded it in, vader was not supposed to be that good, very slow, not bothered. not for 500 points anyway, got bored of SC4 too quickly
  • I can't imagine they would literally just give you one character with his story. I hope they will add more levels, maybe extra floors in TOLS. Or a different mode with new Acheivements.
  • they should of done this while the game was red hot but now it's not really wanted anymore by many as it use to be
  • Vader*
  • Paying 400 microsoft points to play as a character who could get slapped up by Yoda....wow
  • Fair enough, I guess i'd buy it....its a bit much though...400 MS.
  • Should be free
  • too bad they didnt add any achievements to go with the DLC
  • i dont even have this game anymore but if i did i'd be FuĀ£$@d if i would pay 400 points or any points for a character...witch according to a couple (only a couple) of PS3 owners i know,is a loada crap anyway!!
  • So far all the SC4 "DLC" has been unlock keys. So far I've put up with the BS, but I'll be damned if I'm paying $5 for a single character.
  • come on, guys. these are the same people that charged us for accessories that you could actually unlock in the game. i dont think 400 pts for vader is too hard to imagine. overpriced definately, but not hard to imagine.
  • The game came out like over 2 months ago, who cares ... had a bit of fun on it, sold it. ... Too little too late.
  • BOOOO, This is turning in to a habit of developers to milk their consumers!
  • to #34 true but that's business-make a profit no matter who you screw. In videogames, that happens to be us, the players ;(
  • yeah its a little screwed up to charge something they have already included in the game to begin with. i mean 5 bucks for two more characters would be cool like if they did this with soul calibur 2 back in the day. Heihachi and Link on a xbox 360 game? that be nuts
  • If no new achievements show up, this one's going on eBay.
  • I'll get this just to say that I have Darth Vader. I don't play Soul Calibur 4 any more.
  • @13 they did it with resi 5 vs mode
  • I'd get it for 160, but 400? I was extremely disappointed that Vader wasn't on the 360. Vader > Yoda ANYDAY!
  • 400 points rather 5 bucks is alot for just one character but being a star wars nut, I probably will buy him one day, maybe as a celebration when rather if I beat that arcade 450,000 point achievement, I'm just not that good I guess. wish the guy who did it with astaroth was next door lol
