"Soulcalibur V" Trailer Still Burns

A tale of swords and souls eternally retold? Why does this sound familiar?

Remember yesterday when we reported that Soulcalibur V was officially announced and we shared that shaky amateur home video of the trailer?  Yeah, we’d like to forget that too. So here’s the official trailer to feast your eyes on.  It sounds like they have the same voice actor who usually narrates for the series; by now, isn't he tired of saying “…but the soul still burns”? Don't get us wrong, Soulcalibur is one of our favorite fighting game franchises, but it's time the franchise broke out of its formula a bit and really gave us something to get excited about. We don't know enough about this game yet to pass judgement, but—unlike Ivy—the trailer just feels flat.
