00:03Hey guys, it's Holly and Jo here from the UK community of Namco Mandine, and we've had
00:08these beautiful little things arrive into the office today. These are the Sol Calibre 5
00:12Collector's Edition, and they arrived this morning. Some of them are plastic, so we haven't opened
00:17them, but we're actually going to open them today for you guys to see a delicious unboxing video
00:23I saw a camera. Get hyped, Jo, get hyped. Let's get hyped. Let's get hyped, all right, you ready?
00:30Okay, so obviously the outside of the packaging, this is actually the cover art that those who
00:35don't pre-order the special edition of the game will actually get. So you guys get more than just
00:40that, which I think is better, and it's really damn pretty as well. I think it looks really good.
00:46That's 360, PS3, just black. There you go. All right, you ready? Yep.
00:52All right, let's go. Oh no, I'm going to break my neck though. That makes me sound really dirty.
00:56I broke my neck though, yeah. All right. I love the smell of your games. I'll never ever grow
01:02out of that. All right, it's like Christmas. Still on the floor.
01:07Look at that. You ready?
01:10This is genuinely the first time we've done this, by the way.
01:13Rightly. Check that out. All right.
01:18Look at that. There. Right. So this is obviously the special edition. It comes in an absolutely
01:24beautiful case. I don't think you can get much like this. Better than the metal tins,
01:28I think. Yeah. A bit more exclusive.
01:30Well, yeah, it feels like a book, doesn't it, actually?
01:33You look educated. If that was on your shelf, you would look like an educated lady or gentleman
01:38of the gaming industry. Yeah, what are you reading? Just a dictionary.
01:41What are you reading? Oh, it's got lots of words in. If you make it look smart. Anyway.
01:48All right. You ready? Yeah. So we'll open it up.
01:53Oh, mine fell out. I'll save myself, actually. All right.
01:57We're open. All right.
02:00So we'll take the bits out. We'll go back through them. So you've got your case. We have, obviously,
02:04the lovely making of Soul Calibur. Now, if you actually watched any of the videos,
02:09the team, the developers, Project Soul, are a little bit kooky. Yeah. Is that the right word?
02:16No, they're funny people, you know, and they're very, very creative as well. Yes.
02:21And I feel that this DVD will capture that. So it's definitely worth a watch, especially
02:26for any Soul Calibur fan who wants to see, you know, understand the making of the game and just
02:30to go behind the scenes. It's a massive opportunity to do that. All right.
02:34That's amazing inside as well, isn't it? Kind of like a belvety texture.
02:37All right. What should we go for next? Pick something up. Pick something up. Let's go for it.
02:40I'm going to pick up this. All right. I'm going to pick up this. All right.
02:42Look at this. Letter. Love letters. All right.
02:48Dear Fighting Soul, we are honored to present you with the special edition of Soul Calibur 5.
02:53If you've bought that and missed me, you're probably as much of a fan of Soul Calibur as we are.
02:57Mm-hmm. Probably.
02:59It's in our blood and our souls, and we've poured all of our passion into creating the GameCube.
03:02I won't read the rest of it for you. I won't spoil it for you. And my narrating voice isn't
03:07that special.
03:08No, it's good.
03:08I couldn't put a chance to write.
03:09Although it was written by a guy, so.
03:13Yeah.
03:14I suppose it makes sense.
03:15All right.
03:15There you go. So we get our little parchment letter, of course.
03:20And it also mentions the Facebook page, Soul Calibur, Facebook.com, Soul Calibur, so you can
03:25drop it in the end of it.
03:27There you go. Lovely. Right. What are you going to pick up next?
03:31I'm going to go for the book. That looks incredible. This is the art book.
03:34This is absolutely gorgeous.
03:38Right. I'm going to find some art.
03:41All right. Tell you what. I'm going to find my favorite character, and you can find yours.
03:46Good idea. I like that. All right.
03:47Luckily, mine's on page six.
03:49All right. You win. I'm still looking.
03:51I'm just going to jump ahead right now.
03:52All right. You go. Show yours.
03:53Oh.
03:54This is Patroclus. Right. So, I've been playing with this guy, and he's amazing.
04:00He feels like Siegfried a bit. But, I mean, there's a massive variety of characters in the game.
04:06This guy's so, so cool. And being a new character as well, you'll get the chance to actually try
04:11him for the first time, so you'll have to take my word for it for now. But this is amazing.
04:14It just states his age, when he was born, height, weight, date of birth, blood type, and yeah.
04:20I love blood type. That's a very Japanese thing, blood type.
04:23Yes.
04:23Feature of blood type. And I'll go with mine. Viola.
04:26I'm a big fan of Viola. I can't wait to actually use her, which I have been practicing at home.
04:32All right. I'm going to move very, very swiftly on. I think to what we've got art cards.
04:38I've got the art cards, especially if you're your favorite character.
04:40My guy. My guy.
04:42Which one?
04:43Right. You've got a good quality card as well.
04:46I love a bit of good quality card. Yeah, you can't beat it.
04:48And I think playing the most important.
04:50Yeah, the game, right? So this is why ultimately you've bought this, and you want to play soccer.
04:57Oh, I've got the, I love doing this bit. Now, inside you have the manual.
05:04Mine's broken. Mine's broken. No, it's not.
05:09It's fine. We've got the game, and we've got an original soundtrack.
05:14I think it's fair to say that Soulcalibur's got some of the best music from within the fighting genre,
05:20actually. So, this is all high quality original soundtrack from the game, and yeah, it's really, really nice.
05:27Obviously, you've got the DLC. Don't forget, so you get your White Knight, or Dark Knight ready
05:32for your customizations. Always very important. A manual?
05:35I know.
05:36Come on, look at all the pages it's got.
05:38Three old schools out there who actually like physical content still. It's amazing.
05:41Manuals actually still exist.
05:43There is a code on the back of this. I'm not going to show you.
05:46Yeah, no, we're not going to show you the code, because that's a waste of good code. Because I want
05:50it. Sorry.
05:52And the game itself, yeah, I mean Soulcalibur. What people want to know, really, it's,
05:57for any of you who've played Soulcalibur before, it's, I think it definitely returns to the roots again.
06:02It feels more like part one. It feels like part two. It's got the speed back, but you know,
06:07it's got that emphasis again on 3D. And what I might mean by that is you can just move around
06:11the arenas,
06:13like double tapping up, double tapping down. So yeah, it's the best combination of 2D, 3D,
06:21I've personally played in a fighting game. And it looks amazing.
06:24And it looks incredible. It's, for the casual players out there, you're going to look at this and just go,
06:32Get high.
06:33Alright guys, now don't forget, if you want this beautiful Collective Edition, this is actually
06:37only available from Game. And if you pre-order, and only if you pre-order, you actually get
06:42Dan Piera's DLC, from Soulcalibur Broken Destiny. So, you know, one assassin's not enough, you can have two.
06:49No, no, two. Deadly murderers.
06:50Deadly murderers. Oh, yes. I think he's a really good character.
06:55Yeah, he's awesome.
06:55He looks fantastic, looks a bit quirky for the game, which I like.
06:58Yeah, yeah, definitely.
06:59But without Voldo.
07:00Edgy.
07:01Without looking like Voldo.
07:02Yeah, he looks good, looks amazing.
07:04So there you go guys, don't forget, game if you want the Special Edition,
07:07and you have to pre-order if you want the DLC character Dan Piera.
