Soul Calibur Lost Swords Shuts Down Today, 'Please look forward for the next announcement!' Says Official Facebook Page

For people that played and followed Soul Calibur Lost Swords, you'll know that today marks the closure of the F2P PS3 Soul Calibur game. The Social Media accounts for the Soul Calibur series has been posting thank you messages for all the fans that played and enjoyed the game. The Soul Calibur Facebook page made it apparent that regarding the series, there's future announcements to look forward too so of course this does not mark the end of the series. As to what it could be, perhaps it could signal the arrival of the next numbered installment in the main series. That is of course, just my speculation however. The next major gaming show I feel I should mention is the PlayStation Experience event in San Francisco on Dec 5-6 so perhaps that is where we all might have to keep our eyes peeled too?

Tekken 7 (officially) Announced for Consoles. PS4 vers. to have VR Functionality

After weeks of hinting from MarkMan, Namco officially announces Tekken 7 at the Paris Games Weekly expo that's currently taking place in France right now. While this really isn't news to anyone following Harada's interviews throughout the US tournament scene, what is new is the inclusion of VR functionality. Let's hope it's more than a gimmick like the TTT2-Prologue 3D functionality. The official Press Statement and full trailer of the announcements are below.
