The game that led to SoulCalibur. Not too bad! It still reminds me a little of Virtua Fighter on the old Sega. From what I could see here, the game ran well on PSIO 1.1, but the background music was missing. I’m hoping the upcoming 2.x hardware will fix that!... Continue reading

Please remember that this is prototype hardware. These results, including game compatibility, may not... Continue reading
