Virtua Fighter 5 for X360 News

Well, thats one of the two reasons I had for getting a PS3 shot to crap.

Sweet!

Meh.

Makes sense for them to release this one on as many formats as possible, given that it's not exactly the most popular of franchises these days.

Share the love, maximise the sales, etc.

nice, i've just found my next 360 purchase.

/Imagines Billy Boy ticking another box of his draft paper for world domination

Now if MS would do another 2d KI game, they would have quite a Beat'em up line-up. Oh well, I guess it's nice to have it on board but I still prefer the likes of SC & DOA. Any news on a new SC?

it should be better on the 360 because of the extra stuff that will be handled by Live!, thats if Live! is still better that Sony's thing.

That's more like it :)

Yes, it does make sense (for all non 1st party games), since the necessary budget has rocked sky-high (or that's what they say anyway), so the more potential customers the merrier.

/Where exactly are those tearing their lungs out screaming that this would never happen??? Try again, fellows 8-D

I'm actually quite suprised at this. Not really into fighting games but it is nice to have at least one and me thinks that this could be it:)

live will always be better than sonys thing.

Well that's gonna set the cat among the pigeons!

VF5 doesn't have online play.

Does it have BOOBIES! I needs my BOOBIES!

Isnt this the game that Microsoft said they had exclusive on, but turned out to be a farce?

\o/

bdc: no.

Massive damage.

no online!!!!!!!!

bugger

Blerk, the "no-online" has been official for the PS3, but the x360 could, in theory (or is that wishful thinking :), feature online play. After all, Virtua Tennis 3 is reported to have online on the x360, but not on the PS3.

/and that would be a really hard kick in the balls, wouldn't it?

woohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Where are JediMasterMalik, Steroyd, y'know, the happy bunch. C'mon!

Good news for 360 VF fans.

ha ha

/tries to conceal mischievous grin

Let the good times roll. Another nail in PS3's already well nailed coffin.

Have a nice Xmas Kaz, Mad "4D" Ken and Big Oldball Baldly Harrison.

PS3 in September for Europe, shockling online and too bloody expsensive. Not looking good for the Pony fangirls now is it?

CVG are suggesting that the game will be released on both formats in the summer now...

YESSSSS nice one Sega

Well that's the only reason I had for getting a PS3 in it's first year gone. Great news!

Virtua Fighter, Virtua Tennis, GTA.... Roll on MGS4 :)

..actually come to think of it, they can keep MGS, what with it being dull, drawn out shite.

Yay now everyone can see how shit DOA is.

Where's vin I need to tell him the good news.

'Let the good times roll. Another nail in PS3's already well nailed coffin. '

WTF?

By no means am I a Sony supporter, but the PS3 is far from needing a coffin. Have you actually played a PS3 for any meaningful length of time?

My first thought was 'Ooh, this is actually pretty good. The next-gen will just be like the last-gen, except this time Sony has the most powerful console.'

This would be bigger news if the PS3 version was scrapped. Of course SEGA are releasing this multiformat because fighters these days are pretty niche, and VF ranks below Tekken and Soul Edge in the eyes of the general public. They need all the sales they can get :)

These types of comments were inevitable, completely unfounded and ridiculous, but inevitable.

Like I said, good news for 360 VF fans who want to play VF with the 360's D-Pad.

this was unexpected

"Like I said, good news for 360 VF fans who want to play VF with the 360's D-Pad."

why would you want to play anything with the 360's d-pad? It's horrible, the analogue sticks and buttons are great, nice sturdy feel, good size... but the d-pad is horrific.

[edit] or did my sarcasm detector fail?[/edit]

Fail. :P

Unless they're arcade sticks Fighting games need the D-pad.

Excuses... Got to love 'em...

Excuses? What excuses? And for what?

Would be nice if they used the extra time they have to delay the game to implement live! support. Not that I care though because I never really was into Virtua Fighter. Maybe the 5th is good, I don't know. Is that the one with the freaky Wrestling guy in it? Because I hate that character from the shots I've seen. Nothing more pathetic than fighting games that have wrestling characters in it. (Or that funny ninja guy).

About the arcade stick: Wasn't the DOA aracde stick released in Europe? I bought the Hori Arcade stick for the PS2 because I wanted one for my PC (don't have a PS2) and since I already owned a 360 at that time I considered the 360 stick too. I decided against it because everyone said the PS2 hori arcade stick is perfect (it is). Well I guess I saw the stick on lik-sang and not really in any shops.

Excuses... Got to love 'em...

But they do. :(

Believe you me JMM, Microsoft are re-designing the near-perfect 360 pad with a better d-pad in mind. Watch and see.....

LOL how can MS make their controller look anymore like the Dual Shock Pad.

Woah... that is a shock. Never expected that one...

Excuses like the ones people on Sony's camp have to dig up every time something pro x360 is announced (say, previously PS3 exclusive games like VF5, AC or even GTA4, for that matter, coming out for the x360, too), just to lessen the impact it has on the PS3 and, most importantly, unwilling to accept the fact that Sony was put in this position all by itself...

Let's see what will you come up with, in case MGS4 gets released on the x360, too... Disk swapping, perhaps?

I've often wondered that out of all the Sega titles that "defected" over to the Xbox why did the Virtua Fighter series stay PS2 exclusive.

There was a reason that Sega AM2 didn't plan to implement online in VF5 can't find the article to that, but it was a game design, not that they couldn't do it.

Great news!

Now if DMC4 and MGS4 go multi-format, life would be that bit sweeter.

BTW, Jedi, I wasn't talking about you in particular, but you took the bait, so, I guess, that means something :)
