Dude you obviously don't know how to write a good story. Algol had to of had a father, so what better way to expand on the story than to show his father doing bad ass things?

Oooh a better one Algol's origins! This way we could milk SC franchise even more!

ugh.. the final showdown of nightmare and seigfried was much too cool to trounce upon.. they 'could' ret-con this and pretend its an alternate timeline though.. yay for milking

That does seem to be the most likely course, considering the title "Broken Destiny"...

Do want!

lol Exactly what I was thinkin'.

And I don't suppose the Star Wars characters are in this are they? haermm

Lol.. I cant believe Kratos is gonna be in this.. I doubt anyones going to overcome his range and speed

Whoa, what? Seriously? Isn't that kind of...unfair for the rest of the SC cast?

Oh great.

Kratos may be a cheap ass character, but I've learned to accept them. Remember Cable in MVC? I do... That asswhore.

To make matters worse he was the default character the cursor went on when you got to the character select.

They gave him the exact same moveset in his own series...including Rage of Poseidon (maybe even more) and Icarus Wings... This game is spite.

Because so few apparently bothered to click the GS link

QJdmOu_zk-s

definitely may buy

The new mustache dude looks pretty kickass I admit.

Kratos is still the reason I am buying/hacking this game.

I'm just glad there's finally a second PSP game I migght buy cuz it interests me. Also, Ivy is in this, neat.

Yes, but God tier =/= Kratos tier.

Oh so now Namco decides to put Kratos in Soul Calibur. It would've been more awesome if he was on the PS3 version of SCIV. Can you imagine a Kratos versus Darth Vader fight?

Gah, I know.

as good as cable is.. I'm pretty sure I've heard other characters being listed as god tier

At this rate, I'm just gonna have to get a new PSP. WTF is up wit this slew of good games hittin' the PSP so suddenly?

Either that or everyone else get eleventh hour super powers to deal with him. XD

First it was Spawn, Link, and Heihachi.

Next it was Yoda and Darth Vader.

Now it's Kratos? Gosh, who's next? Kain? lol Actually, I guess that's not a bad idea.

GO PYRON GO!

I'm glad, I found my PSP at a park. Glad I can have something to play.

Hmm The first characters they had in their I enjoyed , The star wars ones kind of were...odd...yet somehow fit, I did enjoy being Vader :3
Now Kratos..he actually kinda fits?
I'm just waiting for another one straight out of left field like "AND........NOW.......WITH...CHUCK LIDDEL" "wait what?" "AND KIRBY" "AH :3!" "AND PHOENIX WRIGHT" "wha...huh?" "BURNING GUNDAM" "ok now you're just..." "GOD!" "...." "PAPA SMURF" "" "AND FINALLY..." "" "..." ":]?" ".....solid snake ;D!" "huzzah :3!" "Nah kidding. it's Hamtaro"

if they can get spawn, who annihilate kratos entire universe and soul caliburs without much effort into the game then im sure they can get kratos.

Spawn at his basic levels is not that powerful.

neither is green lanterns without there rings or ichigo without his pis.

Relevance?

read?

i think he said that becuase you said "Spawn at his basic levels is not that powerful" and he thought you purposely put spawn at basic so he thought he could mimic you and somehow take something away from green lantern and ichigo and try to mock you, which sadly failed.

or hes just random.

I replied to your comment saying that Spawn at basic levels is not so powerful.

You then brought up a Green Lantern without his ring and a PIS-free Ichigo.

Both of which are irrelevant.

Then you say "read?"

What the hell does that even mean?

You brought up no "point," don't pretend that you did.

rofl pwned.

kilik was garbage in 2 and I would still make short work of them

Also, whats the point of listing spawn?.. he was probably 2nd worst next to necrid

(Just to make things clear, I always talk gameplay-wise.. as I dont really give a rats ass what they do in their respective universes)

If by steal, you mean find it on an empty bench my buds and I sat on, and I asked around to see if anyone dropped it for an hour, so declared it finders keepers, then yes.

There's always DLC. His inclusion here after the whole rumor mill a while back brings him a step closer to the possiblity of consideration from the devs I would think. Unless they try and adhere to the little Star Wars motif in SCIV of course.

Kratos better be downloaded eventually, know I still need to get Yoda.

Yes they need to put Kratos as DLC for SCIV. Don't try to get Yoda. That guy is broken.

if by broken, you mean useless and flat out boring, then yes...

if you mean broken, as in him being overpowered in any way.. then no

DON'T BE MAD AT ME FOR SHOPPING AT THE RIGHT MOMENT! Haha.

New gameplay vid with four fights (with newcomer Dampierre at the end)YZqpxeq-YvM

And two new Kratos vids:

vs Talim (BoO Critical Finish included)4irEkMwZ7VE

vs Kilik (sick Icarus Wings combo included)uLdC1GqsfEE

What giant sword was he using?

The Blade of Olympus from God of War II.

Dampierre's grab at 1:58 is too good.

They gave Kratos the BoO?! ****, could they break the game any further?

Maybe give him two seperate Critical Finishers depending on the weapon he's holding.

Dampierre looks cool. Hope he's an anti-Kratos.

kratos voice doesnt match his appearance. he sounds like an idiot imo.

They softened the pitch, for some reason. It is fail.

No. It is broken. It even says so in the title.

I am surprised this is meant to resemble SC4. I thought it was just going to look like something similar to that SC legends game for wii (character-design wise, not gameplay wise) and I like the stage edits. They are like different times of the day, similar to how Namco edited the stages in the psp game tekken dark resurection (which is supposed to resemble Tekken 5 as SC Broken Destiny resembles SC4). In addition it seems they did the same with the stage bgm's, make different versions of them.

The pierre guy imo not only looks ridiculous but sounds and fights ridiculously. For some reason, himself as well as his stage in that video, seem like they were extracted from Kingdom Hearts or something. He looks a lot like the pirate in Kingom Hearts 1, or the villain of peter pan's world Neverland. His stage look...idk...like Traverse Town, or something close to it. He's also seems goofy.

I love how Kratos gets broken air dial-a-combos for ridiculous amounts of damage for something so basic.. the apprentice had the same crap but he dealt way less damage so it worked out

The Apprentice was considered cheap too. It seems the guest characters are overpowered (except Link being the worst). Darth Vader seems to be the only balanced one. I dunno bout Heihachi or Spawn.

Gametrailers has some new stuff (including Kratos' alt. costume):

Heihachi was a faster version of himself in SC.

The only difference I can hear in comparison to the GoW series is a slightly more gravelly voice. I'd blame SC's influence before anything else seeing as the series (and most fighting games in general) are notorious for voice acting that ranges from sub-par to utter crap (for example, "I fight for my friends".

Got the game not long ago, and playing it now. As IGN stated, it's pretty much a port of SCIV, which was an easy guess from the start. Kratos, though on the slowish side, especially with a few lows, certainly has a list of moves that almost too easily segue into something bigger (for example, that combo that led to Poseidon's Rage in the video of him fighting Kilik isn't nearly as hard to do as it looks). What's particularly slower seems like they tried to compensate with the sheer range of his chain blades. His signature Square-Square-Triangle combo (Plume of Prometheus) from the GoW games is in this, as is his Tartarus Rage attack (Guard+Triangle in GoW, and his basic vertical attack in this game; just press triangle three times). Basically he's as acessible in this game as he is in GoW itself. As for being "death in a skirt", he's certainly easy enough to use, but I don't have as much trouble fighting a CPU of him as fans did with the Apprentice.

Dampierre, I feel I've only landed a fingerprint on the surface with. I've only rarely managed to pull off any of his more erratic moves that you might see in a few videos, and only ever because I forget that it involves repeatedley pressing a certain button lest he makes a blunder that puts him in a vulnerable position or breaks the overal animation. He's alot about knowing what needs repeatedly pressing the buttons from what I can tell right now. As Gamespot noted, if there was any character to compare him to, it's Voldo.

Also, for what it's worth:

The characters are all available from the start, in case that wasn't known already. The Gauntlet is more or less the story mode--if it can really be called that. Not to say that it's particularly bad, but it's got kind of an almost satirical obscurity to it (the game itself even calls it obscure). At best, you can call it "cute".

Reviews?

Do you need the select button to play this game?
