New Soulcalibur V trailer barely acts its age

Project Soul claims Soulcalbur V takes place 17 game years after thelast installation, yet judging by the new gameplay trailer from Gamescom, and the ageless condition of Ivy’s most defining – uh – ‘assets’, we’re inclined to believe it’s closer to 17 minutes. Nitpicky timeline issues aside, this minute-and-a-half clip does offer fans a closer look at the sequel’s new characters, moves and emphasis on speedy beat-downs:

Soulcalibur V stars Patroklos, the son of series’ veteran Sophitia Alexandra, whose destiny becomes intertwined with the Soul swords. He is joined by a host of familiar faces including Ivy, Maxi, Nightmare, and Siegfriend; as well as a handful of new characters including the teenage Leixia, Patroklos’ sister Pyrrha and the supernatural Z.W.E.I.

The sequelexpected to drop for the PS3 and Xbox 360 in March 2012.
