Soul Gateway - Another Stage of History
Upcoming Soulcalibur IV CaS site/guide

Posted Image

This is an upcoming sneak peak at the new Soul Calibur IV CaS site, called Soul Gateway - Another Stage of History (title remains tentative). Basically the site will continue BaneWolf's Soul Calibur III CaS Guide's legacy to exclusively cover Soul Calibur IV's CaS, the same great way BaneWolf's covered Soul Calibur III's CaS.

Soul Gateway - Another Stage of History will not only feature what BaneWolf's currently offers, but also a slew of ultra spiffy new features, sections, and enhancements. Some of these are:

New features:
  • CaS rating system (viewers can directly rate every CaS on the site and view their current overall rating)
  • Infinite user commenting on the site for every CaS
  • Masterlist link on CaS page if author has one on the forums
  • Personal author comments/notes for each CaS (optional by author)
  • PSN/Live ID displayed for author (optional by author)
  • New site Shoutbox quickly accessible on every page
  • Site searching
  • Navigational site map
  • Instant access to chatroom on the forums
New sections:

  • Standard character customizations
Enhancements:
  • CaS screenshots will shift to genuine high definition, with full resolution sizes at 1280 x 720 and up to 1920 × 1080 each individual shot. In addition, there will no longer be any jumbling or collage screenshots, as seen in BWSCIIICG.
  • CaS battle presentation videos will return in high definition as with screenshots and be greatly enhanced. CaS video streaming will be hosted on a server with less ads or intrusions.
  • Cameos now organized alphabetically by clickable origins, and updates for them will be readily shown with red asterisks.
  • Separate link section featuring SCIV CaS sites as well as general SC sites. Site banners and a affiliate system will also be available.
Green items: Requested by members/visitors.



When will Soul Gateway - Another Stage of History be launched?
At the moment it is undecided and uncertain when the site will be launched for public access; however, the site will without a doubt be launched before the end of September. There's a required time frame from when SCIV releases to launching the site that includes mandatory tasks such as unlocking most/all CaS parts and creation + additions of CaSs for the site.

When will you be taking SCIV CaS submissions?
Likely by the time most or all CaS parts have been unlocked for the mode and the forums revamped for a SCIV submissions section. There will definitely be a wide announcement on the forums and through e-mail when SCIV submissions becomes available.

Should I start working on my forums points to prepare for the SCIV site?
You should continue to build your post and point totals on the forums, but we are expecting to reset point totals accumulated through the forums thus far in order to start fresh for SCIV.

Points build so far can still be used to submit SCIII submissions for BaneWolf's site, but they will most likely not be used for the SCIV site.

We've been really thinking of giving members the first SCIV CaS submission free, so you can maybe expect no work required other than forums registration to get your first CaS up on the site.

Can I see a full preview of the site as it stands?
No. The site's layout and pages is still massively under construction, so don't expect a full preview until much after in the month.

What will happen to BaneWolf's Soul Calibur III CaS Guide when Soul Gateway - Another Stage of History is out?
Nothing. Once Soul Gateway is out BaneWolf's and its entire contents will be preserved for people who wish to use its resources for SCIII CaS. For great convenience, you will be allowed to instantly switch back and forth between BaneWolf's and Soul Gateway as you please.



Got any comments, suggestions, anything you want added to the site?
Please post a reply in this thread!!

I support Shotgunner's statement...so take your time, quality and time is
more important than just rushing what might just fail in the end because
of rash decision making.

If you're referring to the splash screen, no that's not online yet. I'll only put it up when the SCIV CaS site is officially up.

Pretty much that. And I don't even have the game yet so I have no problems with it opening it late (it could launch 3 months from now and I'll still enjoy the site the same).

Agreed Chaos7 - Agreed.

And that sucks - you'll love the game once you get it. Just one word of advice on the Apprentice - cry. Cry now and get it over with. Ask almost anyone and chances are they will agree with me on it. He can be a :nightmare: if you're unprepared.

Yes I have had lots of trouble with The Apprentice, especially on Arcade. He seems to be more tough than Algol.

And remember to comment on the SCIV HD Screenshots and Videos Samples thread, if you guys desire free HD screenshots requests on the forums for your SCIV CaS.

Otherwise I'm considering not doing it at all, or ever. Not enough interests it seems. So you are either stuck with no screenshots or camera quality shots for all eternity, unless you submit your characters to the new SCIV site. That would however have its limits and will undoubtedly require a long waiting period, whereas SCIV CaS HD screenshots requests on the forums can start as swiftly as next week.

I propose more sample screens, but showcasing any other ideas you had with it concerning angle of shots and other visual details.

Also, how is Another Stage coming along currently?

If I were to make an HD screenshot request it would be for my first character "DESTRUCTOR". That should be it...don't want to be a freeloader, so I don't ask for too much.

You should learn not to trust anything I say nowadays.

At the moment I'm working on characters for the site. I do expect at least another week or so for the site to be up, but it's not like you guys are out of patience - it seems like most of you aren't.

Woohoo, SCIV CaS site!

The added options, like the gamertags and ratings might help hold the community closer together. Speaking for myself, I would love to finally have swords crossed between my own characters and others' creations.

So it looks great thus far, C.T. Thanks for all the hard work you do for us. And I don't think anyone would mind you taking your time opening the site. It's you who is doing us a favor.
