(Impress GameWatch) Namco has released new information on their innovative "Conquest Mode" in their upcoming arcade release, Soul Calibur 2.
The new "Conquest mode" is a single player mode in which a user can battle as a part of a team by registering their name and picking a character. The objective of the game is to win over the three opposing teams.
When the game is being played, the CPU will learn the fighting patterns of the player. After 8 battles, the player's character will be saved on the machine. When others from opposing teams play the Conquest mode on the same machine, the CPU will act as the player and fight the opponent by using the player's character and mimicking the player's behavior patterns. Likewise to when a player is actually controlling the character, the CPU's victory or loss will effect the rank of the player's character, as well as the standpoint of the character's team against opposing teams.
The Conquest mode is user friendly to novice players, as 8 battles are guaranteed to be playable even with losses. In addition, the player can choose to pick a low ranking opponent if desired.
The player can return to the game machine and continue to grow the registered character when desired, fighting against the CPU which likewise, mimicks other players. Although the character is protected from being used by other players since a password can be defined during the first registration process, characters cannot be ported from one machine to another since the game is not networked like Sega's Virtua Fighter 4 series.

Short Comment- This is a bit of an old news since it's from May 31, but I couldn't ignore it since I did take my time to mention its debut announcement back a few months ago. - "Madman" Henry Moriarty |

(Originally by FIFA World Cup, Quoted)
"Co-hosts Japan won their second successive match, deservedly beating a determined Tunisian side and confirming their advancement to the second round. They win Group H and will face Turkey next, while Belgium end up second and will take on Brazil.
Japan had the majority of chances in the match but had to wait until just after half-time to confirm their superiority. Hiroaki Morishima scored minutes after coming on as a substitute, while Hidetoshi Nakata assured victory with a header a quarter of an hour from time. Tunisia are eliminated with just one point."
Short Comment- There's a jinx that no hosting country ever fails in the preliminaries. Similarly, the other host country- Korea, has also made its way from the preliminaries as well. - "Madman" Henry Moriarty |
