The Force is strong with the next installment in Namco's weapons-based fighting series. GameSpot reports that both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions of Soul Calibur IV will feature Darth Vader's "Secret Apprentice" from LucasArt's forthcoming Star Wars: The Force Unleashed as a playable character.
Each console version of Soul Calibur IV will feature one exclusive Star Wars icon: Darth Vader in the PS3 release and Yoda on 360. We'll have first screens of Vader's apprentice in action Soul Calibur-style tomorrow.

I like beer and oatmeal, but that doesn't mean they should be combined into a single tasty meal.

I was under the impression the player was going to be the "Secret Apprentice". Does this mean Unleashed isn't going to have a female option, or is SC4 just going to ignore the fact girls play these games too? Or am I completely confused and Unleashed's character is fixed?

The apprentice is called Starkiller and will feature not just in the game but also in a novel, comic book and appear as an action figure. In that case I think it would be safe to say that the design is set as that guy, so no female option for you unfortunately.

They should put C-3PO in there as well.
Fuck it, while were here lets have Ewoks an' all.
In fact just put a digital representation of George Lucas in so I can cut his stupid fucking head off. I'd buy that game for the 360 and PS3.

@Jan
This is true but Vader is in the lineage of Yoda's apprentices ...
Yoda>Count Dooku>Qui Gon Jin>Obi Wan Kenobi> Anakin Skywalker (Vader) / Luke Skywalker
Emperor Palpatine had Count Dooku, Darth Maul and Darth Vader as apprentices ..
Well I guess I earned my nerd badge for the day ... However, I am sure someone will come on and correct in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ... 2 ... 1

I guess I knew that. I just keep waking up with the idea that Unleashed is going to be another KOTOR...hope springs eternal, I guess.

"Darth Vader on the PS3 release and Yoda on 360"
This just in: 360 version outsells PS3 version 1 billion to 1.
Way to go Namco.

Who in their right mind would rather fight as Yoda over Vader ... Especially with the dynamic relationship between Vader and his apprentice

People who think being a three foot tall, super fast muppet, that mastered the force and wields a lightsaber would be benefitial in combat.

I don't really see the point of your post and what you're complaining about. If you're implying 360 version will outsell PS3 version because it has Yoda, the general concensus is Vader is the more desirable character. If you're implying Yoda has the advantage because of his design, you'd be correct since everytime a character like him has been attempted in the past by Namco, they've broken the balance and considering the director himself has said the focus on Yoda is fun and not so much Balance, that's a baaaaaaad thing.

Doubtfull: Notice how each character so far ISN'T tied to some actor the'd have to pay extra for.

This is stupid. Soul Calibur is not a Star Wars game (thankfully). Every lame side character does not need to be in it.

Starwars characters are fine, but they just better be ballanced. If not, then lockable in online play. I can't wait for some 10 year old using yoda to kick my ass.
BTW death to Kilik and everyone who likes playing as him

People who think muppets who mastered the force are awesome, thats who. Also, people who think that being three feet tall and wielding a green lightsaber would be an advantage in a swordfight.
