Virtua Fighter 5 Ad Shows Console Differences

A new magazine ad for Virtua Fighter 5 makes the differences between the two versions of the game (PS3 and Xbox360) very clear, stating that the Xbox360 version is "NOW ONLINE", but the PS3 version "Does Not Include Online Play." This promotes purchase on one console only...interesting advertising.

tudors6064d ago

is the better version, I would not have thought it would be too hard to patch the PS3 version though.

MikeMichaels6064d ago (Edited 6064d ago )

You can't blame them for trying to sell the 360 version.

This is 100% gonna recveive a patch for online play on the PS3, but they cant say that now or else nobody is gonna buy it on the 360. Duh.

barom6064d ago (Edited 6064d ago )

Ya know VF5 is gonna be a year old when X360 version is released. It's already at 39$ at most places and probably will get lower (30? 20?). So disregarding the possible price cut on VF5, X360 owners had to wait and pay 20$ extra for online. To compare Tekken 5: DR got an online patch for 10$ extra which we also had to wait for.

My point? Ya shouldn't be bashing the PS3 version so much.

Edit:
This was only aimed at people like the one who posted this crap article.

mikeslemonade6063d ago

This feature doesn't matter because this game won't sell that well anyway in North America. This is a system seller in Japan and they can careless about online and the 360.

felidae6064d ago

ps3 version looks better but online on the 360 is nice.

Please change your avatar. I want to vomit everytime I see it.

Twice The fighters as Virtua Fighter 5
and only Half the Cost of Virtua Fighter 5.
NOW ONLINE in 1080p.

:) I do hope Soul Calibur get onlines modes since it seems the new trends in fight games is Online Vs. I hope they bring back the console exclusive fighters as well.

Master Chief For Soul Cablibur 4 on 360
Link/Mario for Soul Calibur Legends and....
(WTF IS THE MASCOT FOR PS3?) on Soul Cablibur 4 on PS3

Edit: Ratch/ jak? or the red headed chick from heavenly sword?

ShiftyLookingCow6064d ago

I have Tekken 5 on my PS3, while I am not good at it, I can for certain say it looks like a PSP game running at 1080p with some better effects. It doesnt come close to VF5 in graphics thats for sure. As for gameplay, I guess it depends on peoples preferences.

WAR_MACHINE776064d ago

I've been saying since soul calibur 2 that Dante would be great for the PS version. Still wish the PS2 would have gotten Spawn.

rushbd6064d ago

Unlike Xbox and Nintendo ,the Playstation doesnt depend on a single mascot or two. It has loads of them. TO some it's Snake ,to some it's ratchet , to some it's jak and i can name many more. but you get the perspective . dont you ?

duarteq6064d ago

I agree with you. I have a PS3 and now that Tekken have online, even if Sega guys patch the game for online i don't care.And Tekken 6 is on the way also with online mode. Sega came to late. Wake up Sega guys, this is Living, not a Repair Department.

Shankle6064d ago

Absolutely Dante and Snake. Possibly Ratchet. Could have been crash if he hadn't started sucking after the ps1.

Bnet3436064d ago

they have a both been on xbox, so it wouldn't make sense.

Shankle6064d ago

But their home is the playstation, especially snake.
Who would you prefer? cloud? nariko!?!? *guffaw*

Siesser6064d ago

Umm, I believe there's that Kratos guy who's very weapon-oriented...

TheZippo6051d ago

the red headed chick would be pretty cool.

That's why I prefer Tekken. They should put console failure ratios too.

toughNAME6064d ago

stupidest comment of the week...right here

your the poster boy for fanboys

Shankle6064d ago

Well frankly, he's right. Though it's not necessarily the right thread to say it, the red ring of death problem should be more openly warned about. Seeing as a product with such a high failure rate shouldn't even be on the market, the least that should be done is to ensure that everybody who buys one knows about the issue beforehand. It's currently causing a massive violation of company-consumer trust.

NeonSkull6064d ago

that ps3 does not need online because we have real friends to come round and play, 360 owners have no real friends thus there dedication to xbox live, and its inclusion in virtual fighter 5 for online play. simple really. no online and it just would not sell to the loner 360 owner.

babyhand6064d ago

Person above me.
That's why people complain that there are idiots on this site.

HeavyweightInTheGame6064d ago

It comes with local play as well as online. So if I want to play against my friends, I can. If I want to play against a human opponenet I can as well. With the PS3 version, all you get is local play. And if you have no friends around at the moment, guess what...you're stuck playing all by yourself like an outcast my friend. Besides, how old are you? 6? You're too young to play this game.

NeonSkull6064d ago

if i wanna play on line i'll play warhawk. its true that 360 owners have a lack of friends. it just a fact my friend.

HeavyweightInTheGame6064d ago

I have a PS3 but I think its a dumb idea. I think it shows that loners ps3 players who have no friends and live in their parents basement all alone can get a taste of what its like to interact with other people and go outside on the town. Don't give me that crap that xbox gamers have no friends. You may have, I may have, but that is just stereotypical and stupid reason to back up why VF5 has no online. If thats the case, I don't want to hear anymore complaints from any ps3 fans about the lack of multiplayer in a game. I guess you should take it as a compliment in that situation.

test1231236064d ago

What a joke? Yeah get all your friend to come to your house and play. But Xbox 360 gets all friends around the world to play. :)

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!

10 Fighting Games That Deserve To Be Resurrected Next-Gen

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

What Happened To Virtua Fighter?

It’s been a while since we got a new Virtua Fighter game. What’s going with the series?

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?
