Soul Calibur IV - no version character swaps planned

In an interview with the Xbox Community Network, the Director who worked on Soul Calibur IV (Katsutoshi Sasaki) mentioned that the team had no plans for bringing Vader to the Xbox 360 version and Yoda to the PS3. So there you have it, although things could change in the future if both camps shout in their loudest voices at him.

Updates:

Update: Maxiconsole has posted a video which shows Vader and Yoda fighting on the Xbox 360 version, even unlocking an achievement. Does this mean Vader is on the disc? Is the Director telling porkies?

1.1 - Totally

agree with you there, it seems weird that they don't appeal to both camps and make some more money in the process.

Although I don't agree that only Xbox 360 owners should get Vader and leave PS3 gamers with nothing. That's just wrong.

Do you really want Yoda on the ps3? I agree give ps3 gamers something if 360 owners get Vader, but definitely not Yoda...

@1.4
coz in SCIV, Yoda is as cheap as shyt.
I hate playing as him or against him. I'ld rather have Vader than Yoda, but I won't pay 400 euros just for that.

Yoda isn't cheap! He is just a little guy. The best way to fight him is with all low attacks and maybe graple him when he jumps. If I had Vader on the 360 I would be more likely to pick Yoda over him going into a fight. From what I've seen and heard Vader is slow and easy to kill.

Ey bro... and above, Ive played with both and IMO Vader is way better, im not saying with this that Yoda suks or something, is just that special movements from Vader are SO BADASS and good looking. Yoda is kinda boring.

no you are wrong. Vader is actually pretty damn strong in the game. it is not slow like you said. not as fast as apprentice but he has further attack range and his moves are more of a 100% hit when compared to apprentice. if you use him properly you can really piss many ppl off

2 - Now..call me crazy...

wouldn't it just make a bit more sense to just include both characters on both console versions? it would stop at least two needless fanboy arguments that I can think of...xbox vs ps3...vader vs yoda. is one or the other better than the other one or the other?

who really gives two sh!ts about anyway?

The best of the star wars character in the game by far is the apprentice, who is on both consoles. Yoda seems like a cheap pos character, and vader looks cool, but his moveset is kind of blah.

"the Director who worked on Soul Calibur IV (Katsutoshi Sasaki) mentioned that the team had no plans for bringing Vader to the Xbox 360 version and Yoda to the PS3."

I'm going to read Sasaki's mind for you all to discern the truth:

"We ARE bringing Vader to the Xbox 360 and Yoda to the PS3. We just have to wait a few months when sales stabilize so that when we do announce them as DLC it's not so apparent that we are a** rap**g you for more money."

There's more. But it mostly consists of evil laughter, references to the "Ace Combat Scheme" and images of Sasaki and men in suits throwing money up in the air .

7 - no vader on 360 or yoda on PS3 at least for now, but

"so we are trying to distribute appealing DL contents"

maybe in a future, I don't care about yoda, and the video of vader vs. yoda is real but is said in some PS forums (gonna put the link later just hang on) to be a developer version with the two characters not included in the retail versions.

With the way the DLC is going with SC already I don't know why they wouldn't? There has been a video showing the 2 fighting on the 360 version and there is also a mysterious empty character spot between Yoda and The Apprentice on the 360 version.

It's going to happen and maybe this person is under some obligation to just deny it?

Does the PS3 version have any unique unlockables? I notice there was a Dark Knight cape in the 360 version. Does the PS3 version have the same?

9 - Wishful thinking

Maybe the reason he said they have no plans for bringing Vadar to the xbox 360 version is because he is already on the disc. you cant bring something if its already there (and vice versa with Yoda on PS3). I just hope that its on a time release system like you used to get with arcade games, automatically unlocking the characters after the exclusivity period is over. I dont really like the idea of paying for a download that just unlocks something thats already on the disc that i've already paid for.

Wasnt EA going to try something like that with Bad Company's weapons but the backlash was so bad they changed their minds?

Don't need Vader the game already has slow awkward charactors. Vader seems like a cheap charactor with StarWars skin and doesn't add new gameplay experiences as Yoda does.

Vader is my favorite charactor in the movies story due to the charactor having history(you know more about the guy than any other charactor)but he is not the better charactor when it comes to this game.
