Who's the guy to the right of Ezio?

Looks like it's Raphael.

Lots of pics of Nightmare, Raphael and Leixia. 4 new stages too.

Raphael looks awesome.

Edit: So yeah, the Eurogamer interview confirms that this is a new Nightmare. Old NM was killed in IV. Raphael died too apparently.
Btw, Astaroth is also a new model.

Wasn't Raphael immortal or something?

They always made it extremely clear that, despite the immortality and blood drinking, Raphael was definitely not a vampire.

Fuck yeah Raphael! Classy motherfucker is still going strong. Gonna pre order this shit when I can.

Though 2 turned me off of the series, Raphael was the guy I mained. I wont be getting this game but I hope he's still awesome.

Stop being a little bitch and get the game Ellis.

Well I am seriously lacking in the fighting games department. I've been away from the series too long though. I would love to come back but if it didn't live up to Soul Blade (which I play more than any other fighting game other than MKII) I would be devestated.

Ezio's trailer:

Quote :

Ezio Auditore, star of Assassin's Creed, is a playable character in upcoming fighting game Soulcalibur 5.

Eurogamer went hands-on with the guest character at a Namco Bandai event this week.

Ezio is powerful at close and long range. He has six available weapons, including his Roman Longsword, Stiletto, Crossbow, Hidden gun and his Hidden blade.

Indeed, Ezio has more weapons at his disposal than any character in the game. Project Soul said during a demonstration in London that the team is currently working to balance the character so he is viable for tournament play.

"When we were thinking about the next guest character we asked, which would be the best possible match for the world of Soulcalibur?" producer Hisaharu Tago told Eurogamer. "It was always right there in front of our eyes that it was Assassin's Creed and Ezio. He was just a perfect match. At that point we contacted Ubisoft.

"They were very cooperative and eager to work with us. It was a lot of fun to work with Ubisoft once we got started, because they really love Ezio and the Assassin's brand. They provided us with this overwhelming volume of direction and information. That might seem like something that would be irritating and get in the way of our development, but that wasn't the case at all. They were very open in giving us a lot of guidelines.

"As developers, we have a similar way of thinking. So it was very easy to work with them."

Ezio features in both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of the fighting game, as does a stage inspired by Assassin's Creed and background music lifted from the Assassin's Creed universe.

The Ezio in Soulcalibur is the younger version of the character taken from Assassin's Creed 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, rather than the older Ezio from the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

"When we first began to talk to Ubisoft it was around the time Brotherhood was coming out, so we had that background," Tago explained. "Additionally, we have a lot more mature characters in Soulcalibur 5, around the age of this version of Ezio. So we felt it was a perfect match."

And Ezio's inclusion makes sense story-wise, too, Tago said.

"In Soulcalibur the story begins at the beginning of the Renaissance. Ezio also exists in the Renaissance. Ubisoft was actually very giving with us, saying he could exist in the world of Soulcalibur through the power of the Animus, so they were able to provide us with that story.

"That's why at the beginning of the trailer you see all those Animus type reboot sequences."

Is Ezio the only guest character in Soulcalibur 5?

"No comment."

Meanwhile, pre-order the game and you'll get con artist Lord Geo Dampierre, from Soulcalibur: Broken Destiny, as a playable character on the day of release.

The Collector's Edition comes in a specially designed "book" box, and includes an art book, original soundtrack CD, making of DVD, a DLC card for the Black Knight and Paladin armour sets, original artwork and a letter of appreciation signed by Project Soul.

And finally, Namco Bandai announced a Soulcalibur 5 release date: 3rd February 2012 in Europe and 31st January 2012 in the US.

Spoiler:

I can live without him.

I didn't want to buy this game. I didn't. I wanted to watch it. maybe I would have picked it up when it got a bit cheaper.

But Project Soul has done something that will MAKE me buy this game day one. I knew this was going to be special when I heard the Looney-Tunes music in the beginning.

Dampierre you crazy fuck.

We'll introduce the game designers, have some Soulcalibur lessons, and some casual matches. Chance to see your favorite character in action!

21:00 JST = 12:00 GMT

I don't plan on getting this game, but if I do, it's only for LaBello.
But seeing that he's only DLC, well, that kinda sucks.

He is free as long as you pre-order the game. But seriously, I don't understand why you like him.

If you don't understand the appeal of a character as cartoonish as Dampierre then I don't know what to say.

Character creation looks fantastic.

Ugh. Expect thousands of Asian schoolgirls and transvestites online.

Personally I don't care about creating my own characters, but I enjoy customising the already existing ones.

I hope you can still make accurate Ronald McDonald Astaroths.

Thats going to make the game shift like crazy, anything with effectively a 3D model viewer/cosplay game equals instant success.

Ivy with an afro, am I right?

Same thing basically. Unless they added ome worthwhile custom fighting styles everyone will use oneof the main movesets.

i like dressing the girls up

Oh wow I finally watched that character creation video and it looks great, especially all the patterns and extra bits you can put on your character. I just hope it has some extra fighting styles akin to SC3.
