Sega: No plans for Virtua Fighter 5 PS3 patch

Do you think Sega would finally throw us PS3 VF5 owners bone? No and probably not ever, according to Sega's Jay Boor. He told PS3 Fanboy, "at this time SEGA has no plans to release a patch for the PS3 version of Virtua Fighter 5."

Anyone still cares about this crappy game?

EDIT: It's not about reviews, it's about Sales. I don't think Virutal Fighter sold well enough for Sega to concern itself with it. It didn't exactly top the charts for 360 either.

LJWooly5946d ago (Edited 5946d ago )

It's a year old now, and if it isn't crappy, it sure as hell is old.

Metacritic scores don't determine whether a game is good or not; it's all a matter of personal prefrence. Not what a bunch of journos say.

If you want to buy a year old PS3 port, then so be it. But I would rather get some new games this year.

RecSpec5946d ago

Waste it's time? VF5 may have been released awhile ago, but it is still the best next gen fighter out there.

power of Green 5946d ago

Almost had it, if you'd had just finished your comment with "PS3" instead of the game itself.

MikeGdaGod5946d ago

Tekken:DR kills VF5! i traded VF5 in months ago.

Tekken has more characters, backgrounds and game modes + online.

and the load times for VF5 were too long, Tekken flys

joemomma5946d ago

no one cares about this game because sega made it.

sonarus5946d ago (Edited 5946d ago )

I won't pretend to speak for everyone but everyone i know who owns a ps3 chose tekken dark resurrection over VF. Honestly they can keep the online and there is no love lost. I was never a fan of VF so i really could care less. Tekken and soul calibur are a couple of months away lets see how long they can hold their crown of best fighter available. Only reason they are the best is cus there is nothing to compare them to. I bet DOA is better than VF but i never played it though.

haha also at power of green (my favourite xbot) despite 360 "massive" lead over ps3, ps3 virtua fighter still outsold it... so your saying ps3 VF didnt sell well is stupid... but again thats why you are my favourite xbot.

mikeslemonade5946d ago

Why would sega patch the PS3 when VF5 is only hot in Japan and they don't care about online. Why do it for the 20 people that are going to be online everyday? They're working dead rising and lost planet for both the 360 and PS3.

not only PS3 american gamers online, but our japanese friends as well. It would have been great.

ErcsYou5946d ago

it would have been nice 10 months ago.... VF5 is played out

niall775946d ago

did anyone on the 360 even buy this game?

ReBurn5946d ago

Not really. It only sold about 120,000 copies on the 360. I don't know. Fighters have always been one of my favorite genres, but I've never really liked Virtua Fighter. At least not since Tekken and Soul Blade on the PlayStation.

My personal preference is that Soul Calibur is where it's at. I'm really looking forward to Soul Calibur 4.

Ri0tSquad5946d ago

I don't think anyone would expect a patch.

alster235946d ago

screw Virtua fighter 5 its all about tekken 6 and soul calibur 4

BLUR1115945d ago

soul calibur is by far the master of fighting games but to me virtual fighter is a button masher. tekken is better than vf and i hate that mortal kombat is a rip off of virtual fighter.. the new gen mk sucks Soul calibur is amazing gameplay its not simple like the others thats still out its got way more of a flow. 3 was the best

What is?

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

Smok911065d ago (Edited 1065d ago )

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

waderae1065d ago

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

Hawk1986661064d 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

SegaSaturn6691065d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1065d ago

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

Eidolon1065d ago

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

monkey6021065d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1065d 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.

monkey6021065d ago

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

10 Fighting Games That Deserve To Be Resurrected Next-Gen

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

BlackTar1871511d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1511d 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.

BlackTar1871511d ago (Edited 1511d 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.

Skuletor1511d ago (Edited 1511d 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 gameAr1511d 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.

BlackTar1871511d 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

Ninver1511d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.

VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.

I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.

As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1747d ago

I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.

SierraGuy1747d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1747d ago (Edited 1747d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1747d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
