[Rumor] - Kratos in Soul Calibur 4?

[Dr.Finger]

Let's put our rumor caps on people, because this one cannot be confirmed at this point. But damn if it wouldn't be very very cool.

PSU is reporting that the newest EGM rumor column has Kratos, of God of War fame, making an appearance in Namco's Soul Calibur 4. This would be in addition to the already announced platform exclusive characters: Yoda on the 360 and Darth Vader on the PS3. When contacte Namco said that they do not comment on rumors.

Are there any Microsoft/Xbox specific characters that they could put on the 360 version to balance out Kratos? Ryu's not showing up and a Halo-Spartan was already in DOA4. Who does that leave? Marcus Fenix?

[Wyrm]

Oh dude... That would mean I'd have to buy it, even though I don't much care for Soul Calibur beyond the first one.

Maybe Namco can design a personality for him, *sa-nap*

It's Namco, not God.

And I've perused the 360-only list of games, and the pickings are slim. Kaim from Lost Odyssey? One of the Pinatas? Or do the go the SC2 route and just plug a random character into the game.

Great selling point.

I don't want to be mean, but seriously... spellcheck?

They could bring in Kameo, but they'd have to slut her up a bit to fit in with the rest of the female cast.

[Trickyicky]

Kratos is badass, and would fit in the SC universe well.

Hey.. That's a pretty awesome idea.

They could have an Elite with an energy sword. The Arbiter, maybe? That would be great.

[McNinja]

Listen, Namco . . . I want Soul Caliber, not Super Smash Brothers. I already have Super Smash Brothers. I don't want Super Smash Brothers with added T&A.

Please, just focus on making this game good, OK? Can you do that? Thanks.

How about Cole? Show off that Japanese skill in the depiction of stereotypes?

[Khash]

Sold. He's be way overpowered, though, if he were anything like the PS2 games.

Frank West!

Imagine the panty shots you could take...

• HK-47
• Wrex
• Frank West

Though I suppose the chances of a Capcom character in a Namco game aren't all that high.

[Wraith]

Ach! I've been beaten to the punch.

[Psykoboy2]

One of the Agents from Crackdown

Sam Fisher

A Chromehound

A Big Daddy

A Little Sister (ewww)

[LarsenNET]

I can't think of any character that could balance out Kratos.

[H.Bogard]

Both Kratos and Marcus come from games that have the initials "GoW".

What do I win?

[Adam Blue]

If so, I'm buying the PS3 version.

[The Continental]

Kratos seems a much better fit to the SC games than any of the Star Wars characters, that's for damn certain.

[Disgustipated]

Kratos would be amazing in SC4.

[Zander]

FINALLY, a Soul Calibur extra character that ACTUALLY FITS THE THEME.

Fantastic idea.
