Soul Calibur 3 not Sony exclusive after all

Posted on Wednesday, 6 April 2005 by Speed, source: Spong

Despite Sony sending out a press release last week that Soul Calibur 3 will be exclusive for PS2, Spong today has word that the game will be featured on next-gen consoles from Nintendo and Microsoft aswell.

According to what we can read at Spong, Namco started development for the PS2 but will ultimately also release the game on the next generation of consoles from Nintendo and Microsoft aswell. Here's what a Namco representative said to Spong :
Namco is definitely planning to develop the Soul Calibur series on the next-generation platforms. However, when we started development for SCIII, the specs for the next-generation platforms were not set, and there were no dev kits, which ultimately lead (sic) us to development on the PS2

Judging from what we can read, the game is well underway for PS2 but will see a release on next-gen platforms aswell, just a little later than for PS2. So... "platform exclusivity" looks like being a "platform premiere" in this case...

Both you and Spong are reading this incorrectly. Notice Namco says nothing about bringing SCIII to the next gen consoles. They only say they are going to develop the series for next gen. Meaning you would see Soul Calibure 4 on the next generation systems, not 3.

Namco clearly stated the following:

A.) They will develop soul calibure games on next gen consoles.
B.) They were unable to develop SC3 for next gen because there were no dev kits available.
C.) Because none were available they decided to develop the game for the PS2.

Nothing above indicates that Namco is bringing the SC3 game to next gen.
