you know how people say COD on ps2 started the HD games? Their wrong, I think Soul Edge showed the company's and developers back then that games can look awsome and realistic.
@djslash571 I agree. COD is nothing compared to Soul Edge. COD won't be remembered for its story or gameplay. It's just another money-making franchise that kids buy each year. I remember when I actually looked forward to playing new games. Now nearly all the popular games are first person shooters with a lack of soul.
Man, seeing this made me realise that games developers have just become cold and more for the money than the enjoyment. This is way better than the soul calibur 5 opening, quite disapointed.
its amazing that this game game has bounds of more content than the newest game released.
even the intro for SC5 is worse than Broken Destiny's, at least tha one was cool by having it show all the characters doing somthing, even if it was an in-between game.
OMG, you never appreciate it until you see it again when you're older. It's been years Soul Blade and boy did you fill my childhood with awesome memories. :D
@apparytion wow, how do you... Alright, you got me on this one dude. How about some gold instead of cash. I know some inportant people in fort knox, just go there, tell them that I send you and then take all the gold you want ;-)
@Germanswisscheese I know what you mean. When I first saw Taki's Ninpo attack, I remember thinking how awesome it was. Now, it's only slightly less. Why? Taki made the mistake of looking *at* the explosion when she landed. Very uncool. If she had landed facing away, it would have been legendary. Ahh, how naive heroes were back then.
where did li long go? he's my fave char back then. I always shout "HWAAAA!!" with him while he jump attacks a downed opponent. Maxi from soul caliber is just wrong. (Born 1991) woot!
In the official story, Li Long was the first who fought Cervantes in the Spanish Harbor, but was fatally wounded and die short after. Few days later, Sophitia and Taki went to the Harbor and fought Cervantes. Sophitia destroyed the Female Edge (the small one) but was wounded by a fragment of the sword. Taki continues to fight Cevantes and impale him with the Male Edge.
A week later, Siegfried found the corpse of the pirate, took the sword and Inferno posseses the dead body of Cernates in flames. They fought, Siegfied won but was possessed by the sword and the history continues in Soul Calibur series.
@dannyoclaw2 Maybe, I honestly don't know much about those games anyway, but that's how I felt when I was playing them. And fact is Rock was my favorite character in Soul Blade.
@KhanSeb Hes my favorite character too.I was 5 when I beat the game with him,now I try to beat the game with him again(im 12)and I lose on the second battle.Lol.
I feel a chill down my spine everytime I see this Epic intro. ah... what am I doing all this past 10 years? I should die without regret like fighter not live a life limited by a reasons...*sigh*
This is the best intro to the best game in the series. Somewhere along the way, Soul Blade lost its... well... soul... and is on its way to becoming a Darkstalkers game, what with vampires and werewolves. Someone, please reign this in and give Soul Blade back its originality.
hmmmmmm bro is a shame this video is desynched a bit it would be perfect!!!!!!, also does anyone know of an emulator for psx that could give such quality? epsxe is good but his graphics are still so pixeled :_( soul edge yeah!!!! forever
@Voltan I often question the intelligence of people who say "Tekken 6 is the best fighting game ever" (With unblockable 50 hit aerial combo and is the copy of Tekken: DR)
Even thou I now have the PS1 game for my PS3 - I think its fair to say that Soulblade needs to get on the PSN and also be in High Quality just like this
:36-:42 mitsirugi tearin shit up... this intro made my hairs stand on the back of my neck, and after seeing you were so psyched to play it... ahh the memories, great fighter...
this is honestly, by far the very best intro in any game. Even this gens games doesnt have these good of openings. This makes me want to play soul edge again XD
This is one of my first games I played when I was a young girl. OMG my childhood was really really wonderfull and still it is.... Thank God I'm a gamer!
SC5 needs to top this since it's a new start pretty much D: c'mon namco! Make the best intro ever for sc5, maybe use this song? Lol I loved this game my all time fav on the playstation
I loved this opening ha ha ha...cool...everyone please say this blessing, Jesus is lord, and I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and arose from the dead, fill me with the holy spirit in Jesus name amen.
I played this with my older brother when IT WAS NEW. I am so proud ot say I was sitting here helping him figure out the (at the time and still now) ridicously hard combos for taka and li long especially. I will always remember how cool it was to play as red siegfried and souledge though!
These games really went down hill. The corny voice talking nonsense on each fight. The characters saying pointless things during moves. Lizard man, charade, what happened to just legendary warriors like samurai and pirates. It just got stranger and noisier. And Yoda? WTF!
@Enidehalas In the uncensored version, Sophitia is naked when that giant statue comes out of the water. In the censored version, she's wearing a white swimsuit.
Well that's a crap load of the best memories, well spent.
