E3 2007: Virtua Fighter 5 Hands-on

IGN take a jab at the Xbox 360 version.

"The gameplay is nearly identical to the PS3 version, which is to say that it is pretty darn good. Slight changes have been made for balancing. The 360 version of the game uses the arcade version C while the PS3 used the B version. We don't know the differences between them and SEGA wasn't talking. It wanted the hardcore gamers to discover those differences when the game releases rather than spill the beans to us. The Hori fighting controller being made specifically for the release of VF5 handles like a dream. It has a solid base, responsive joystick, and the six face buttons feel great. The only gripe we have is that the left and right bumper buttons are rather small and hard to reach quickly.

The slight improvements that we alluded to in the opening paragraph are more to do with bonus content and online play than the tweaks made to the balance. The 360 version will sport 75% more costumes to dress up your players with. To make it easier to collect all of these items, more money is given to you right off the bat in quest mode and it has been made slightly easier to obtain gold in the game. There will also be 60% more rival AI personas in quest mode. All of the personalities from the PS3 version will return, but now there will be better, more individualistic CPU AI."

you got the PS3 version beat for sure. No doubt about that. Great Job Sega and MS.
But, I'd rather play Tekken. Even if tekken comes to 360, you just cant beat the PS3 controller for fighting games.

@Thammer1: Wow, I agree with you. Something must be wrong.

sajj3166886d ago

I just can't imagine playing a fighting game on the 360 controller. FPS is one thing ... but fighting games using those big triggers ... no thanks.

THAMMER16886d ago

I thought this was the twilight zone.

75% more costumes.

AI: There will also be 60% more rival AI personas in quest mode. All of the personalities from the PS3 version will return, but now there will be better, more individualistic CPU AI."

Good stuff, Some times the wait pays off.

kevoncox6886d ago

360 doesn't have blu-ray? Dvd9 isn't enough to do a game like VF5.
MS must have paid them money.
</sarcasm>

BLACKJACK VII6886d ago

WTF are you talking about ? You think VF5 is a larger file than a game like Mass Effect ? What ?!?

THE TERMINATOR6886d ago

Blu ray isnt needed for this type of game obviously. Its the Metal gears, FF13 and Killzone type games that require this storage thats why they are EXCLUSIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

predator6886d ago

mass effect is bigger than those and that fits

BIadestarX6886d ago

And this is the reason why people love and hate exclusives...
Love because they get to play the game first than the other people that own the other console... and hate because for the most part they always get a better version...

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

ZeekQuattro251d 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.

Pergele250d ago

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

Agent75250d ago

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

Lightning77251d 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.

Agent75250d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic250d 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.

Smok911814d ago (Edited 1814d ago )

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

waderae1814d ago

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

Hawk1986661813d 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

SegaSaturn6691814d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1814d ago

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

Eidolon1814d ago

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

monkey6021814d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1814d 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.

monkey6021814d ago

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

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

BlackTar1872260d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2260d 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.

BlackTar1872260d ago (Edited 2260d 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.

Skuletor2260d ago (Edited 2260d 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 gameAr2260d 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.

BlackTar1872260d 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

Ninver2260d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
