‘Soul Calibur II HD Online’ Release Date Revealed

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I’ve been beyond excited for this one ever since it was revealed at SDCC. Now I’m glad to know just when I’ll be able to get my (digital) hands on it!

Namco Bandai took to Facebook today and revealed the release date of the highly anticipated (at least by me) Soul Calibur II HD Online. Here’s what they said:

We are pleased to announce that SOULCALIBUR II HD ONLINE will be available worldwide on November 20th on the Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

One of the best fighting games of all-time, SOULCALIBUR II returns this year with new high definition graphics and all-new online modes in celebration for its 10 year anniversary.

 

As a reminder, SPAWN and HEIHACHI, originally exclusive guest characters for each platform, will be for the first time ever playable on both platforms.

Check out the exclusive Main Visual revealed for the occasion!

Don’t forget to share your thoughts and comments!

I cannot wait to play this. I can’t even recall how many hours I sunk into the original release of Soul Calibur II (on the GameCube, of course, as who didn’t want to fight as Link), and ow with improved visuals and online play, I’m sure to do it again.

Will you be picking up the title? Who’s your favourite fighter? Sound out below!

‘Soul Calibur II HD Online’ Looks Awesome, Watch A New Trailer!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Back in July, Namco announced an online, HD remake of the best game in the Soul Calibur series, Soul Calibur II..

The video here is a little grainy, but I expect that the actual game will look wonderful (Namco states that the game “is still in development and the video is compressed in order to fit the YouTube format). I really can’t wait to jump back into the ring here, even if I won’t be able to play as Link (a Wii U version was not announced).

Watch the game’s latest trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to it! Soul Calibur II HD Online is set to release on PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime this Fall (lets hope for PS4 and Xbox One versions too)!

[Updated] The Original ‘Fable’ is Returning in HD

by Josh Jackson

With the large wave of HD remakes hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before Fable came back around.

Today, Lionhead Studios unveiled a teaser trailer for Fable HD, with a brief image of Jack of Blades, the antagonist of the game. While Fable: The Lost Chapters has been a downloadable Xbox Original for some time, this will be the first full fledged re-release of the action RPG and is slated for the Xbox 360.

Will it be a full remake? Or a simple HD remaster? Who else can’t wait to accomplish feats with achievements attached to them? Check out the trailer as we wait for E3 to answer our burning questions.

UPDATE: Thanks to IGN, we’ve learned that the official title of the game will be Fable Anniversary, and will be an HD remaster with the addition of achievements and all of the Lost Chapters content. Sounds pretty run of the mill so far, but we’ll be sure to report any new information as it becomes available.
