Some of you may know that Soul Calibur on Dreamcast is my favourite 3D fighting game ever and that Ivy is one of my favourite female video game characters. I was really looking forward to details on Namco's next-gen Soul Calibur 4 game (PS3, 360) when the first screens started appearing yesterday:
Wow. I have mixed feelings about this. While the male in me is happy to see Ivy, in a more, uhm, revealing position (why do you think she is my favourite character to play with in SC?), I pray not that Namco, in desperation for sales, would turn to Itagaki for gravity defying physics model. Don't get me wrong, Dead or Alive 2 (also on Dreamcast) is my second favourite 3D fighting game of all time, and even previous Soul Calibur games has featured plenty of chest augmentation, but I do hope they prioritised the gameplay first! Then it won't matter if Namco turns Ivy into a Mai Shiranui equivalent.

No virtual boobies for you though unless you buy an X360! Better buy an extra three to though, just in case they break...
But yeah ,looks awesome, and along with Virtua Fighter 5 i'm in gaming heaven!
That looks like a PS2 game!
Screens scanned from magazine.
Richard, but but Ninja Gaiden Sigma is on PS3 and Rachel is hawt!
It is a fantastic game, very good in this genre, but the competition is very hard for being number one in this genre.
