Speaking to MSXbox World, Soulcalibur IV director Katsutoshi Sasaki has said there are no plans to bring Vader to the fighter’s 360 version or Yoda back the other way, despite the fact an amazingly authentic movie leaked last week suggests he may be talking porky pies.

“There is no plan for that so far,” he said. “I can understand that the fans have interests in the dream battle… So we are trying to distribute appealing DL contents, but we want you to know that we have prepared huge volume of gameplay which will satisfy everyone who purchases the game.”

There’s a full interview through the link.

According to this CNG4U piece, Famitsu’s given Soulcalibur IV a bone-crunching 35/40.

The game’s releasing on August 1 in the UK, and is looking fine from where we’re standing. Anyone that wants to play us online will, of course, lose. Let us know if you fancy it.
