Rumor: Kratos may be in Soulcalibur IV

by Andrew Yoon { Jun 24th 2008 at 11:42PM }

If 1UP's mysterious Quartermann is to be believed, the PS3 version of Soulcalibur IV may be a rather dark, broody, angst-ridden fighter. Not only will the PS3 version exclusively feature Star Wars' Darth Vader, it may also feature God of War's always-angry Kratos. The character would make an excellent and logical addition to the Namco Bandai fighter, thanks to his over-the-top weapons-based moves. If he's not included in the upcoming fighter, we can only blame one thing: his chest is clearly not large enough.

Soulcalibur IV is coming out next month, so all will be revealed in due time.

If this is true I'll probably end up getting this game eventually.

I would rather have Nariko from Heavenly Sword. I never really liked Kratos. Still it's hard to put too many playable characters in a fighting game.

Kratos actually has a future at the moment...

and Nariko didn't meet the required bust size.

they could redraw her... they have the technology...

Kratos is the difference between a rental and a purchase for me.

klexam @ Jun 25th 2008 1:44AM

I agree. If I find out this is the case I will reserve the day I hear about it.

OHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASEOHPLEASE

I haven't played a fighter since Street Fighter 2. I might just have to into one if this is true.

Wow, are you just coming out of a coma?
;)

Welcome back - games are still awesome! :)

If this is true, then prase the lord that he let a murderous character beat up other people.

Jnas @ Jun 25th 2008 8:12AM

Darth Vader vs Kratos?

SOLD!

Kevin @ Jun 25th 2008 8:25AM

I think if they include Kratos the way he is, he would probably be the strongest player in the game. (Magic and everything.)

Probably the most appropriate guest character ever. I really can't imagine what the special 360 character will be, but I think it is now solidified that the PS3 version of Soul Calibur IV is the version to own.

I was thinking of passing this game,but when Vader was announced as ps3 exclusive I thought I would rent it. But add Kratos and I will reserve it and buy it.

Wrathbringer @ Jun 25th 2008 12:07PM

OMG if Kratos is in SCIV he'll be the ONLY character I play! Let's hope his over-the-top moves and anger problems don't get lost in the transition...

solidgamer1982 @ Jun 25th 2008 1:14PM

Damn thats crrazy

Ramon Caballero @ Jun 25th 2008 1:27PM

Ok,
If Kratos is there...Could they put Raiden? Or Solidus Snake?
Hehehe

Nate the Prophet @ Jun 25th 2008 1:57PM

This rumor surfaced some months ago, even before the Star Wars characters were announced. But at any rate, I hope it's true!

Maybe the 360 version will get Ryu.

boltu222 @ Jun 25th 2008 7:30PM

Sony should really consider an all start fighter...

manbeast @ Jun 25th 2008 8:50PM

IM SO BUYING THIS GAME NOW

Dwag @ Jun 25th 2008 8:52PM

If he were to be in they better announce it at E3 or else the likeliness of him being in there has just been reduce to zero I'm saying this because if he is in SCIV then Sony would be show it at E3 to hype it up for there platform but if not at E3 then its just a rumor.

Nariko is a better choice anyway.
