Star Wars Characters for Soulcalibur IV

By Digital Trends Staff January 9, 2008

Star Wars Characters for Soulcalibur IV It’s a very smart marketing move. NAMCO BANDAI announced at CES that it has signed a deal with LucasArts that will see Stars Wars characters as guests in its Soulcalibur IV game. But here’s the twist – there will be a different character for eachplatform. The PS3 will get Sith Lord Darth Vader, while the Xbox 360 version will have Jedi Master Yoda. And, of course, Star Wars fans and unrepentant gamers will want both. "Itis quite rare that two publishers of this caliber are able to collaborate on this level to create a top notch entertainment experience for next-generation platforms," said Makoto Iwai, executivevice president and COO at NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. "In the entertainment industry, LucasArts possesses some of the most recognizable characters and franchises in the world. We’re thrilledto integrate their historic characters into one of our most treasured brands." The company promises the game will have HD graphics, and an expanded customization mode, that lets playerspersonalize a character and look and perform as they desire. Also, for the first time in the franchise, customized characters or original favorites can be taken online to challenge others.

You don’t need the messy Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection to enjoy these classics

Key art for the Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection.

Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection should have been a slam dunk.

The new package contains some of the best Star Wars video games ever made, which are all now widely available with multiplayer support across all modern platforms. Star Wars: Battlefront II is my favorite game of all time, so I was ecstatic about its announcement at February's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. It is gratifying to have these two Battlefront games bundled together on a platform like Nintendo Switch, where local co-op or competitive play is easy and I can easily bring them with me on the go.

Star Wars Outlaws will support DLSS 3 when it launches this year

One character points a gun at others while gambling in a bar in the trailer for Star Wars Outlaws.

Nvidia revealed in a blog post that Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws will be on GeForce Now and use some of its proprietary technology when it launches sometime this year.

Specifically, Star Wars Outlaws will support DLSS 3 and RTX Direct Illumination to improve the game's visuals with ray traced global illumination lighting and effects. The announcement of these visual enhancements for PC and GeForce Now players is the first official update we've gotten on Star Wars Outlaws in a while. Ubisoft unveiled the game at the Xbox Games Showcase in June 2023, and it left a strong impression. The game will follow Kay Vess, a new character and smuggler trying to survive in a galaxy still dominated by the Empire during the time period between The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi's events.

Unicorn Overlord romance guide: all characters you can marry

unicorn overlord review ps5 cover

For whatever reason, romance and marriage have become one of the most essential parts of tactics games such as Unicorn Overlord. Just like combat, however, each game handles the relationship system a little bit differently. It might seem straightforward here, but there is an extra step or two needed to fully commit and marry one of your companions. Aside from just building a strong bond with your favorite character, there are a lot of benefits to improving your relationships. Here's a full tactical rundown of how romance works here so you can form an everlasting bond.
How romance works

The core of how romance works in Unicorn Overlord is all about Rapport. This represents your relationship with each character, can be built in a number of ways, and is the first and biggest step toward marriage. The simplest, but least efficient, way to build up your relationships is to fight in the same unit as the character you're interested in. Win or lose, you will boost your Rapport at the end of each encounter.
