If they rebooted it the name would be soulblade or souledge depending the region. Bandai Namco just have to be clever about it. If there is a market for one weapons-based fighter per generation, then SCVI could still be that game. The franchise almost certainly isn't dead. Fewer people downloaded a free SoulCalibur game in 18 months than bought SCIV in 8 months. It also didn't help that Namco followed it up with the idiotic mess that was Lost Swords, a free-to-play single-player game that tried to monetise character customisation. It didn't help that the game's release timing and marketing were poor. With the high cost of modern games there's probably just enough of a market for one weapons-based traditional fighting game each generation, and last generation, SoulCalibur IV was that game, which meant that SCV didn't interest many people. For a while it seemed like they wanted to alternate between Tekken and SoulCalibur. The series just wasn't ever as popular as the major fighting games and wasn't capable of sustaining the kind of release frequency that Namco appeared to want. SCV was one of them but another was franchise fatigue. SoulCalibur suffers from several problems. Only Street Fighter was a bad game and it was around at a time when there wasn't much competition. MK4-7 were not bad games they were just average games, 9 was ok at best 10 is just generic. You lost all sense when you said Final Fantasy 8 is one of the worst games in the FF franchise, its one of the best actually its just the mechanics people didn't like and they didn't understand the main charcters emotions, 7 was worse but still a ok game, 1 and 2 maybe even 3 were worse but still ok games, 10 was far worse as it was a linear bore, 13 was far worse. Trust me, doesn't take a rocket scientists to figure out that SC5 won't be killing off anything.

Mortal Kombat 4 5 6, and 7 were all super s*** games yet MK 8 9 and X exist.įinal Fantasy 8 is one of the worse games in the ff franchise, that didn't stop ff9 from happening. They still made another street fighter game.

How does one come up with such a dumb sense can easily solve this.
