That’s right, they are all DLC that should have been free.
Ever since Soul Calibur IV was released with it’s exclusive Star Wars characters (Vader for PS3 and Yoda for Xbox 360) there have been rumours that they would become available on the other systems as DLC.
Those rumours have finally been put to rest now that it has been announced that the characters will be made available, for a price, of course.
You will be looking at 400 MS points on Live and around a R45 on PSN.
Considering that most fans of the Soul Calibur franchise think that the Star Wars characters are abominations and an insult to the game, I can’t say that I think that they will be pleased to be spending extra money to get one extra out-of-place character.
As I have mentioned before, I am a huge fan of Star Wars. Not only that but SCIV is the first fighting game that I have enjoyed in ages, especially with it’s online multiplayer. So I am a perfect gamer to target for this DLC and you know what?
I can’t be bothered.

Am I the only one that feels that when it comes to DLC it’s like we are being cheated?It’s like GTAIV/Fallout 3 developers completed their games and thought “hey lets cut off the last 20% of the game and sell it seperatly for alot more cash”.It just feels wrong,like when you buy a game it feels unfinished because of the DLC you have to buy later.Burnout Paradise has the right idea,release DLC FOR FREE!

Personally I think this DLC should be free. The development of the character have already been done. It’s not like a few months down the line they decide to make whole new characters that can be plugged into the game, for a small fee of course.
You will probably find it is one of those 108k downloads meaning that the characters are already on the disc, the file just unlocks them. Whilst I want Darth Vader I will not purchase this out of principle! And I implore the rest of you do the same. I wish everyone in the world felt the same way as I do. We need to show these game companies that we will not stand for this “nickel and dime-ing”.
