No Kratos in Soul Calibur IV

39
Rumors emerged last week that God Of War protagonist Kratos would appear in the latest rendition of Namco's flagship fighting franchise, Soul Calibur IV. It wasn't too far fetched of a rumor. Afterall, Soul Calibur II featured exclusive characters such as Link on the GameCube version and Heihachi on the PS2 version. However, 1up.com smashed these rumors in their latest podcast, confirming that Kratos is absent from the game.

Are you kidding me? Krato is the GOD OF WAR. I know you saw what he did to Zeus. I don't really see anyone from Soul Caliber do anything like that. So yeah... Call me a fanboy if you want. That mother f*cker slams heads in doors, rips off limbs, and does it all in style. How else am I suppose to react to that?

Obviously they would make concessions like they did with the Jedi light sabers. It still would have been cool to play as Kratos though. Although, I'm really looking forward to playing as Hildegard Von Krone. She's got a long spear, a short sword, armor, and cowboy spears. I, well, love her.

Kratos was the only reason I considered buying this game. Now Tekken 6 is priority again.

I don't want Kratos to get whored out to other games like this. Im happy with the Star Wars characters and all the actually SCIV characters being playable. I'll wait for GOW3 to smash peoples faces in with Kratos.

Oh well, if there isn't going to be Kratos in Soul Calibur 4 then I'm not buying the game. I'm not a fan of the Soul Calibur games or fighting games at all and at first I was going to buy Soul Calibur 4 just because Kratos might be in the game, but I guess I'll have to wait until next year to play as Kratos on the PS3.

Having kratos on the screen would add too much clutter.

Could you imagine seeing the blades of chaos with super long reach.

12 - another rumor debunked...
It happens all the time, which is why I always error on the side of caution whenever these rumors are posted on n4g, whether is ps3 or 360 news it usually turns out to be BS, so I've learn not to get my hopes up until I hear it from the *horses mouth. I think it would've been sweeet if SC IV had different characters between the 2 versions. That sucks.

I didn't listen to the podcast. Is it confirmed he's not in or are they just saying they didnt see him.

Too bad, Kratos would have made the PS3 vs XB decision null and void.

M$ must have payed them off. Kidding ;) Joke/sarcasm/irony.
