No Rumble option in Soul Calibur 4

TalkPlayStation.com writes:"The Playstation 3 version of Soul Calibur 4 doesn't have a rumble option for the DualShock 3 controller. A TalkPlaystation.com member has sent in an email to say that he got the game early (breaking the street date) and simply told us that he looked in every possible menu when he realised there is no rumble in the game. Apparently an update was released on Friday and that didn't add rumble support either."

PS3 FTW!!!

But I'm used to having no rumble,trophies, Home,and just games in general...on the PS3.

TROLLING FTL!!!

Lol, now watch this guy reply writing a pointless wall of text that no one will read. Microsoft loves you. Good job buddy!

Almighty Xbox 360 please give me the strengths to fight off the rabid Sony fanboys!!!

There's no need for a wall of text. You're used to getting second-hand material on the PS3(Or no material at all). This isn't a surprise.

I made it where you could read it.

chasegamez5759d ago

but your use to RROD

butterfinger5759d ago

i have it and it has no rumble ....

gaffyh5759d ago

The 360 one does, but I hate rumble, first thing I was trying to find on my 360 was how to switch the rumble off. But I couldn't find the option in some games :(. Fighting games are especially better without rumble.

tgh machines5759d ago

I think there is a console setting that can turn off rumble for a specific profile.

mikeslemonade5759d ago

PS3 version still looks better and rumble was never important in fighting games. When you play with the arcade sticks they don't rumble.

Bnet3435759d ago

I just find it funny that a PS3 game always has something bad about it. Whether it be large installs, no trophies, no rumble, no in-game XMB, no custom soundtracks, etc. Then it's "Company X are a bunch of lazy devs, no buy from me" It's like every PS3 game goes through this.

mboojigga5759d ago

You would think depending on how long you have had your 360 the "personal settings" in the guide allow you to turn the rumble off and on at will.

MikeGdaGod5759d ago

no buy for me

yup, just like that

Ghoul5759d ago

but seriously if that keeps you from buying it your
a) no ps3 owner and flaming this thread.
b) a bit picky.

gaffyh5759d ago (Edited 5759d ago )

I haven't checked in the personal settings on my 360 for ages, but thing is some games are OK with rumble, like RPGs/FPS, but some games are annoying like fighting games and racing games. So I wouldn't want to switch it off completely just for those types of games.

MikeGdaGod5759d ago

yes, i would agree to that. i am extremely picky and i want rumble in every game. i know some people say it takes away from the experience but i'm not one of those people.

no rumble, trophies, or custom music..........no buy. i'll wait for a patch.

these devs have to start catering to wants and needs. if they can't do that, they don't deserve my money. i have more than enough games to play.

socomnick5759d ago

@raiders

I don't think its about there being a patch in the future. I think its about ps3 versions of games always being short on features and not competing with the Xbox 360 versions time and time again. If I was a soul calibur fan and only had a ps3 I would be angry too.

Violater5759d ago (Edited 5759d ago )

patch or not bro, if features are not day and date, especially one that has been out for almost a year, then it makes no sense.
welcome back btw

potenquatro5759d ago

thank you for confirming. i really like rumble on my games i don't understand how this isn't mandatory in 2008.

trikster405759d ago

@gaffyh:

SO you are saying the 360 version has rumble? Because a lot of posters over at Neogaf are confirming that it doesn't. Do you have it already? Now I am confused about the whole thing. It would make the first 360 game without rumble that I can think of if that's the case...

mcm5759d ago

Not True at all. I have a Hori fighting stick model# HPS-71 it has rumble support. It also has digital and analog support, L3/R3 buttons, as well as a mode button that functions as the PS button.
It is an older stick from the PS2 era that was future proof.

Rumble wasnt standard at launch just like trophies werent so developers obviously wont waste there time implementing a feature that everyone cant use

hfaze5759d ago

Dude, nearly every game after Ratchet & Clank: ToD has supported rumble straight out of the box (except CoD4...)

Even Tekken 5 Dark Resurrection supports rumble, so Namco has already worked with it!

This is just BS... I can't believe Namco did that...

tplarkin75759d ago

"Add-ons" always fail. Sega CD, Sega 32x, N64 Expansion Pack, etc. The only Add-On that has succeeded is the Xbox 360 HDD. The only reason it succeeded is that it was available at launch and it was integrated into the 360 SDK.

Heaven_Or_Hell5759d ago

The DS3 was announced at TGS 2007, wtf are they these excuses that theay haven't got enough time or whatever to implement it...
Shame

solideagle15759d ago

what the hell NAMCO is using their time for. its been 3 years and they did not release Tekken 6 i smell something fishy. it might be they are concentrating on getting more cash rather than make the best game. well its a shame that rumble is not there.
thanx

Soul Calibur IV - 15 Years of Soul

Soul Calibur IV launched worldwide 15 years ago, bringing with it the best performance of the series to date.

Terry_B276d ago

Hell no. It was the start of the downfall (SCV) of the series. Huge downstep from the giant SCIII

purple101276d ago

Switched to unreal engine. Ruined it.

Yi-Long275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

Used to love this series, probably my favorite 3D fighter, perhaps together with the now also dead Dead or Alive (2-3-4), but as with so many games in the fighting genre, their short-term greed (season passes) has made me lose all interest, sadly …

sagapo275d ago

Yeah, I remember playing Soul Caliber on my dreamcast at the time, that was insane!

sosro275d ago (Edited 275d ago )

the first three are much better games.

Walweeze275d ago

Loved Number 2 and 3( loved all the solo modes like chronicle of the sword ) so was super hyped when 4 came out but the lack of single player content was disappointing. Still love soul calibur to this day though

DarXyde274d ago

2 was definitely the golden era of Soul Calibur for me. I was a bit conflicted about it at times because there were 3 different versions (I liked the PS2 version for controls, I liked playing as Spawn the most, and I thought the addition of Link was really awesome). Even so, the single player content was outstanding. Easily the most fun I've had with a fighting game, followed closely by Tekken 5's single player modes

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz348d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh348d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

CrimsonWing69348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21348d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69348d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden348d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21348d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden348d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj347d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot347d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj347d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

MrNinosan348d ago

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz348d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan348d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21348d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz348d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop348d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77348d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden348d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048348d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage348d ago (Edited 348d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048348d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7347d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
