Ezio in Soul Calibur 5 as a playable character. Oh yes! Seeing Ezio revealed as the guest character during a Soulcalibur V event earlier this week was a surprise. But my personal thought Ezio fits into the world better than characters with light-sabers. ;-) In the latest Soul Calibur, Ezio is a multi-weapon character. He has a Roman longsword, crossbow, stiletto, a concealed gun, and his hidden blade. Ezio may be the most fitting guest character in Soulcalibur history, with his many bladed weapons, experience with corrupting god-like power, and coming from a similar point in time as the rest of the fighters. Ezio will appear on both PS3 and 360 versions. Though compare to his movement and arsenal in Assassin's Creed, he doesn't look that great in Soul Calibur. He looks kind of slow, not very fluid in his attack patterns. But I am sure that is not a bit problem for me, I will certainly buy this game.
"The development team really found a great partner and great character with Ubisoft and Ezio from Assassin's Creed," said Namco Bandai's Dennis Lee. But Namco Bandai choosing Ezio wasn't an overnight descision. In fact, Lee says it was a rather long process and involved the consideration of entertainment properties. "One of the key focuses of our business when I joined the company is how do we Westernize our portfolio and make it broader," Carlson Choi, Vice President of Marketing, said to Siliconera. "We wanted to bring in a character that works in the Western world. When you look at where Ubisoft is, especially with Ezio, it brings us in the Western market and gets
everyone excited about the game."
Anyway, here is a Soul Calibur 5 trailer with Ezio.
More tutorials are coming soon. In the mean time, enjoy the trailer.
