Online Multiplayer Patch for VF5 PS3?

Xbox 360 owners rejoiced when Sega and AM2 announced that their version of Virtua Fighter 5 would incorporate long desired online multiplayer features, but PlayStation 3 gamers who'd picked up the game earlier in the year felt left in the cold. A Games Convention 2007 interview with AM2 Assistant Manager Tohru Murayama at Total Video Games, however, provides hope for the future.

Murayama acknowledged that PS3 owners are disappointed and suggested there was "no doubt" AM2 could theoretically release a patch to add online multiplayer features to the PS3 version.

It will happen sooner or later, the game did well on the PS3 considering the current user base number. It would be poor on Sega's side to not release the patch.

Maddens Raiders6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

Everyone knows the reason it wasn't included was because AM2 wanted to hurry and get this game to market. What a great gift it would be for them to give to players who play on a free online service. It just makes sense.

fopums6806d ago

damn skippy! thats what patchs are for :D

Meus Renaissance6806d ago

I dont understand why they couldn't have done this months ago?

WaggleLOL6806d ago (Edited 6806d ago )

Whatever, VF5 is old news that no one but the tiny 360 crowd is interested in anymore.

Tekken 5DR Online - 1080p 60fps online goodness is right around the corner.

LOL, a year old port with crappier graphics than the PS3! Yeah, console gamers are going to be running out to pick up those dusty 360 still sitting on store shelves since last December's channel flooding by Microsoft.

Sour Grapes that VF5 is going to be best on the 360!

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

ZeekQuattro219d 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.

Pergele218d ago

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

Agent75218d ago

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

Lightning77219d 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.

Agent75218d 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.

FinalFantasyFanatic218d 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.

Smok911782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

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

waderae1782d ago

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

Hawk1986661781d 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

SegaSaturn6691782d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1782d ago

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

Eidolon1781d ago

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

monkey6021782d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1782d 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.

monkey6021782d ago

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

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

BlackTar1872228d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B2228d 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.

BlackTar1872228d ago (Edited 2228d 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.

Skuletor2228d ago (Edited 2228d 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 gameAr2228d 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.

BlackTar1872228d 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

Ninver2228d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters
