Virtua Fighter 5 on Xbox 360 will feature online multiplayer

There have been a lot of rumors since Virtua Fighter 5 was announced for the Xbox 360. Would there be Xbox Live multiplayer or wouldn't there be? SEGA, at first, said: 'No, it wont', but today SEGA confirmed that the Xbox 360 version of Virtua Fighter 5 will indeed be featuring online multiplayer duels over Xbox Live.

And that's not all. The Xbox 360 version will feature the latest update in playmechanics from the Arcade version. Also, the Quest Mode has been expanded, with more CPU-opponents to fight with as well as more objects and articles to customize your character with. That's not all because the DOJO-mode will also be receiving an update on the Xbox 360 version. New functions have been added, like: rankings, training settings, throw- and defensive training as well as a feature to adjust the opponents health and position.

Probably the biggest improvement will be the addition of online multiplayer duels through Xbox Live. Players can compete 1-on-1 with any player from around the world. Players can choose from a total of 17 different characters, which are all individually customizable. Each character has four different costumes but more costumes can be unlocked by playing the Quest Mode. Release: Autumn 2007.

SONY: Hey wat gives

SEGA: This is payback.

SONY: Payback for what?

SEGA: You destroyed or baby "the dreamcast" you made us go bankrupt. With your dammn PS2... You even made Pete M. leave us.

SONY: Sorry.

SEGA: Sorry doesnt cut it. Your Sonic sucked and now you have the inferior virtua fighter.

SONY: Ohhh Well. Their is always Tekken 6.

SEGA: NOOOOOOOOO

NAMCO: MUAHAHAHAHA

SONY: = )

predator6143d ago

i wouldnt hold on to tekken 6 being exclusive for to long mate, the way namco are being with the 360, just a thought

tehcellownu6143d ago

they will have to do somethin to sell the 360 version..and the controllers for the 360 sucks..but i guess havin online is kool..but really dont make a difference..no one seem to care about this game..

Blankman6143d ago

have you ever played a fighting game on the 360. The d pad sucks so they have to use the stick really dnt knw the advantages of making a d pad the way 360 did theirs but wateva. I didnt get V fighter when it came out for ps3 and aint getting it when it comes out for 360 either. It would be hard to believe tekken made its way to 360 since sony gave them the cell processor to develop the arcade game. I would have to say Bandai at least owes sony this one

SDS Gamerfiend6143d ago

3 year warranty support to fix all of their flaws at their expense(now that`s standing behind your product!) And the best version of Virtua Fighter with online support WOW!!!

InMyOpinion6143d ago

Any way you try to twist yourself out of it, Sony keeps recieving lesser versions. Both versions should have online from start. Online gaming should be as evident as wireless gamepads this generation.

I think Tekken has aged badly, I'm more hyped about the new Soul Calibur game.

Keyser6143d ago

What up GaMr? Haven't seen you ine awhile. Always love the avatar.:)

Funny comment too. Where's the sense of humor around here?

As far as the topic, that's a good move by MS to make Virtua Fighter more marketable to 360 owners. It's a shame the same hasn't been announced to PS3 owners.

I've got the PS3 version so I'm a bit envious but I'll live.

ps3gogetitt6143d ago

SEGA you idiots, you....... this really sucks no no no it wasn't on ps3 so it won't be done on the 360,,,,now this....you screwed me sega you really did....if mgs4 goes to 360 that's it I am trading in my ps3 for a 360 (now that ms have that 3yr warranty for redlight problem)

omansteveo6143d ago

I feel you dude i want a PS3 but if things like this keep happening its like really whats the point i cant see my self buying it for a couple games....and yeah f MGS4 Jumps then theres no reason any time soon i'll wait till its like 300$

CyberSentinel6143d ago (Edited 6143d ago )

and Xbox 360 STILL gets the better version.

...and what do you know, ALL them extra features, and blu-ray was not needed. To bad lemmings, if you want the best version, you got to buy it again. Same goes for your NERF'ed version of GTA4.

Laughing At Lemmings.

@12 SuperSaiyan4: Bubble for you sir.

@4.3: I played Ninja Gaiden and Ninja Gaiden Black 3 years ago, on a last gen system. L@L

You lemmings are just getting it. L@l.

BTW, ...any word on NG2 on ps3? NO?! I didn't think so. Lal.

@4.5: Bubble for you sir.

@17 Tudors: Grats! Peace and blessings to you and your loved ones.

Loudninja6143d ago

Tahts the almest insult I ever heard,did you forget that the PS3 has other fighters?Tekken? All they can do is make and update via PSN

omansteveo6143d ago

Dude Tekken is dead and there is a new king of Hand-to-Hand and its VF5 and with the King of Weapons based fighting SC4 around the corner im thinkin Tekken who?

Azures6143d ago

Is it like us getting a totally superior version of Ninja Gaiden?

God of Gaming6143d ago

Sigma? You mean the remake of an XBOX 1 game from 3 years ago? ... ok I guess if thats what your going with.. I was over that game years ago.

Lex Luthor6143d ago

NO!!!
NG Sigma DOES NOT have the ONLINE Master Ninja Tornament that the xbox 1 verison did.

NG Sigma DOES NOT have the ONLINE karma leaderboard like the xbox 1 verison did.

You just PWNED yourself.

ps3gogetitt6143d ago

out there, not even tekken comes close, you button smash your way through tekken and any other fighter but not vf5, gosh i love this game.....online play was all that's missing....damn sega dman

Loudninja6143d ago (Edited 6143d ago )

Have you even play Tekken .Or are you just feeling the moment

Kleptic6143d ago

yeah seriously...

VF5 was pretty...but it has nothing on tekken in terms of combos...that is how its always been...countering is cool I guess, but it drastically slows the gameplay down...especially when you are playing someone that will never take an offensive...they just wait to try and counter...

even with online play for the 360, which I guess would have helped the PS3 version a good bit, this game is still a rental at best...

good news for 360 people I guess if they like fighters...Personally I am not the least bit excited for Tekken 6 either...hopefully that goes to the 360 also so more people can play it too...I would trade Tekken 6 for a ps3 version of Ace Combat 6 any day...Namco is confused...all their games should be multiplatform...

Marceles6143d ago (Edited 6143d ago )

VF and DoA are the most push button fighting games...there's maybe only 2 people on tekken where you can push buttons and actually do something, everyone else will only do one or 2 punches or kicks at a time. But DoA and VF...punch punch punch kick...punch punch punch sweep...punch punch punch..punch punch zzzzzz

sticky doja6143d ago

Big disagree there. I didn't play Tekken 4 or 5 all that much because I thought Tekken Tag was the greatest ever, but out of the 30 or 40 people I had played against in that game I could kick all of there tails....and that game for me was button mashing at its finest. Could button mash with any character and do combos all day long, especially Jin/June/Lei/Bryan/Eddie. Very few characters if any you couldn't button mash your way to victory.

DoA 4 very different, havent played VF5 yet but will pick it up since it will have online.

Oh and NAMCO bring back tag options in TEKKEN 6!!!

Marceles6143d ago

there is alot of variety in tekken though, as to most of the other fighters on VF and DoA can get away with a punch punch low kick combo, not everyone can do that in tekken.

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.

Eidolon1064d 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!

darthv721511d ago

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

ApocalypseShadow1748d ago (Edited 1748d ago )

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.
https://youtu.be/Wl8qIQKMsb...
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.

tulholdren1746d ago (Edited 1746d ago )

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

PhoenixUp1746d ago

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