Soul Caliber 4 will have better graphics than the other Soul Calibers but will it live up to the hype?

Soul Calibur will be great but to hell if a fighting game becomes GOTY...eh, what Breakfast said.

It will be a game a few people play for a few weeks and then a bunch of hardcore players will become uber good at it and scare away any newbies who would dare play in the future.

No its just another fighting game. Thats a dead genre right now.

Something I definitely do not approve of.

Are you serious?

Soul Calibur 4 is no where near Game of the Year material... it's a fighting game.

Soul Calibur 4 will be popular for a week or so and then it will be back to business as usual.

I don't even think it'd make fighting game of the year because of SFIV. As much as I hate everything about Street Fighter IV (and I am the hugest of Streetfighter fan mens), it's Street Fighter f*cking 4!!

Well, it won't be forgotten in few weeks and will become one of the better fighters of this gen but definitly won't be a GOTY. If there is a fighter with GOTY chance, it's SF4 and even that has little to no chance.

Games don't have to be GOTY type to remain popular for a long time.

Ooh forgot about King of Fighters XII, 100% hd hand drawn sprites baby. I am looking forward to see if I still have SC skills though, haven't played since 2 first came out.

That reminds me of Dead or Alive 4.

    GTA and Fable are not GOTY material. The GTA hype crashed and burned pretty quick and Fable will be crushed by Fallout 3.

    Soul Cal is a fighting game, that said, it doesn't stand a chance any other games.

    I totally disagree that a fighting game can be game of the year.  Since when did a genre depict whether a game could be so good it was the best game out that year?  I can remember the year the first Soul Calibur came out how many GOTY awards it won.  Now don't get me wrong I certainly don't see SCIV being better than some of the titles already out or coming this year, but genre does not change how good a game can be.

    Not just Fable 2. A whole lot of games will be crushed by Fallout 3. Even a BioShockized Fallout 3 is better and deeper than most 2008 games.
