Kratos will not be in Soulcalibur IV

48:40. That's amount of time into yesterday's 1UP Yours podcast that reveals Kratos will not be in Soulcalibur IV. They have been playing the game on both Xbox 360 and PS3 (though Yoda is mentioned immediately after the Kratos comment, they do speak of Darth Vader later) and they do not see Kratos in it. Unless there is some last minute change, which is unlikely, Kratos will not be in the main game. Sorry kids! Let's all hope for something in the form of DLC then, shall we?

Sad... Kinda got my hopes up.
Actually, kinda funny, I had a dream last night that they announced a total of 5 crossover characters for SC4. Kratos was one of the ones for PS3, as was that kid from Ico. Forget who the last one was (excluding Force Unleashed guy and Vader). Weird dream, hu?

Well looks like sc4 is a pass or rent no longer a buy for me.
eclipse27 @ Jul 5th 2008 9:18PM
same here
BigGW @ Jul 5th 2008 6:24PM
Yeah Kratos would destroy everyone in SC4 anyways. That would be so badass if you could be him.
Moe @ Jul 5th 2008 6:40PM
Im still buying it, Im no blind fanboy.

LOL, people were really going to buy this JUST for Kratos? Cripes.

THANK GOD! I hoped this would happen. See... Kratos is my favorite charactor. And to me, he could whoop everyone's ass in SoulCaliber IV (including Yoda and Darth Vader). But they can't have an uber charactor so they would have to dumb him down. And and I would never want a dumbed down Kratos. So I'm happy.

EGM's rumor guy should be executed for this. Gets my hopes up so many times with his bullshit rumors. The last time I was this hopeful was back when he said dead rising would get an online co op patch. AGH!

Who says there playing the final version... If this is going to be a surprise it may not be announced until E3. I guess we will know for sure in a couple of weeks...

also remember that kratos might be an unlockable and therefore isn't in the starting line up maybe he's unlocked when you beat the game with everyone or get over 100 kills in survival mode or something (though i doubt he'll be in it not that i care either way i just love the soul edge/caliber games and i'd buy it anyways to heck with kratos vader and yoda i'm happy with or without them.....although it does make things more interesting so i do welcome them and the chance to see how they play)
Roto13 @ Jul 5th 2008 8:57PM
Good. I can't stand Kratos.
Cidi @ Jul 5th 2008 10:22PM
Could be still a unlockable character or? :)
On the other hand implement at least Nariko she should have enough "reasons" to be implemented in SC4. :D
paul @ Jul 5th 2008 11:05PM
By the gods. Kratos is not in Soul Calibur 4. What treachery is this? ZEEEEEUUUUSS
sean @ Jul 6th 2008 9:56AM

Mike @ Jul 6th 2008 1:15PM
that sucks.
Michael K. @ Jul 6th 2008 7:17PM
I'm kinda glad, one less game I have to buy
romanticterror @ Jul 7th 2008 12:42AM
in EGM they said it would be a character for the PS2 version only. Read up.
Ptrack_Git @ Jul 7th 2008 2:21AM
I don't believe this game is coming out on ps2... at all, no mention of that anywhere, nor is a ps2 version being shown at e3...
vask @ Jul 7th 2008 10:05PM
if Kratos is that much more powerful than any boss in this game then make him the last boss like AKUMA!
