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!

Soul Edge is the first game in what became the Soulcalibur series. The PlayStation version retained the Soul Edge name in Japan and was released as Soul Blade outside Japan.

Please remember that this is prototype hardware. These results, including game compatibility, may not reflect later revisions or the final product.

You can hit up PSIO if you have any questions, since I am but a mere tester and don’t understand the technology behind this wonderful invention.

Prototype test conditions

  • PSIO hardware: 1.1
  • PSIO software: 1.1A
  • PlayStation: PAL SCPH-5502
  • CD deck: removed
