Virtua Fighter 5 HDD Installation

Virtua Fighter 5 is nearing release (in Japan at least) as further details about the port became apparent in the latest issue of Famitsu.

Perhaps the most notable revelation is the fact that the game can be installed on the PS3 HDD to bring loading times closer inline with an arcade fighter. Exactly how much of the 50GB blu-ray disc will be installed on the 20 or 60GB drive, however, remains to be seen.

The fact that a game will have to eat some gigabytes of your precious and limited hard disc space due to Blu-ray speed limitations isn´t even remotely an advatange.

FFVIIFan7041d ago (Edited 7041d ago )

This option is actually possible on a couple of the PS3 games already out, like Ridge Racer 7. It's just a nice option to speed up loading times, and when you start to play it less you can uninstall it to free up space. But even without installing it, the loading times aren't bad at all. A couple seconds longer than 360 titles maybe?

bilal7041d ago

its an option and as far as i can see it is very usefull..

R34GTR7041d ago (Edited 7041d ago )

umm... 20GB non upgradeable is precious and limited *cough M$ cough*. 60GB is called room to spare. lol get it right. and even PS3's with a 20GB can easily upgrade being PS3 is universally compatible with 3rd party HDD's. Come on this is a plus stop makin it negative please. dammn haters.

DC RID3R7041d ago

nobody's hating around here!

VF5 ver.C FTW heeheee

Boink7041d ago

you are not really saying that the 360's HDD us not upgradeable are you?

Someone had a 500 gig HDD istalled on it a few weeks after it came out, and any USB HDD can be plugged into it.

and seriously, after shelling out that much cash even for a 20 gig model, how impressed would you be to having to shell out more $$$ to upgrade the HDD just to make games run as they should?

big_tim7041d ago

MS doesn't support anything larger than 20 gig currently. You can install a larger HD but it won't recognize the extra space. As for a USB drive, the 360 won't write to it, and if it did, the load times would be terrible compared to the serial connection of the standard drive.

Until they give us an option for a larger HD it will remain a problem.

DJ7041d ago

He's been saying the same things over and over, so I'll try and keep this info clean and simple.

Dual-layer DVDs read at half the speed of single-layer DVDs.
2x Blu-ray (on average) reads faster than 12x DVD due this important detail.
If all 360 titles were single layer, the 360 would have the drive speed advantage. But they're not.

Hard Drive Installation is a great feature that significantly cuts down load times since consoles/PCs access their hard drives at exponentially higher rates than physical disc media. It'd be nice if Microsoft allowed this to happen on their console, but that's their choice to make.

Panzer Dragoon Saga HD ?? Shining Force 4 or 3 hd ?? Phantasy Star V ??..................

ZeekQuattro244d ago

Panzer Dragoon maybe. I don't see Sega touching those other ips unfortunately. I at least wish they would do a Shining Force collection that includes SFIII.

Pergele243d ago

Shining Force 3 collection or 4 with 2D graphics will always be my most wanted game.

Agent75243d ago

Please, no RPGs. Sick of all these SEGA games for the Japanese market.

Lightning77244d ago

jet Set Radio, Gunvalkyrie, Otogi, please let it be. Jetset is by far the most realistic one to show up. One can hope for the other 2.

Agent75243d ago

SEGA's game catalogue has been a bit naff after the Xbox 360 and PS4. Stop those Mega Drive/Genesis collections and move onto arcade classics, some which never got released on consoles. Not sure what's happened to the new Crazy Taxi and Golden Axe etc., but the likes of Virtua Racing, Super Hang On, ESWAT and maybe even Alien Storm are due sequels.

FinalFantasyFanatic243d ago

Persona 6 and Skies of Arcadia remaster/port please, there's heaps you could surprise me with, and I'd probably be happy with it.

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911807d ago (Edited 1807d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1807d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661806d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691807d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1807d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1807d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021807d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1807d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021807d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1872253d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2253d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1872253d ago (Edited 2253d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor2253d ago (Edited 2253d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr2253d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1872253d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver2253d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
