VF5 Video Comparison: 360 vs PS3

See which karate kid kicks the hardest with these exclusive video comparisons of Virtua Fighter 5 on Xbox 360 and PS3.

The biggest and most obvious difference between the six-month old PS3 version and just gone gold 360 version is that the latter will have full online play. Hopefully Sega will hurry up and release the rumoured patch for the PS3 version so we can kick ass around the world instead of just in the games room at lunch.

i played that crap out of this game the last few years. Im looking at getting back into tekken. When is tekken6 coming?

P1MPDADDY6042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

Only 270,000 PS3 owners bought this game worldwide. It's hardly played out.

http://vgchartz.com/games/g...

Once it gets released for the 360 with online play included this game should get some "real" love from a console that has owners who actually buy games instead of movies. I tried the demo a few days ago. It's going to be a great fighting game for the 360. Does anybody own the Hori Arcade stick??? I saw one at Gamestop but they wouldnt let me take it out of the box to get a better look at it and see how the joystick responds.

Edit:DPA and your comment just proves that your an even bigger dumba$$ for responding to my comment. I watched the video comparison and it's too small to notice a difference. If you want to complain about the DPAD on the 360, thats fine. But the PS3 DPAD doesnt impress me either. Thats why I asked if anyone had the Hori arcade stick yet. I like to play fighters, and no console controller does a fighter justice.

Edit:gEnKiE and your comment once again makes you look like a bigger dumba$$ for responding to me. I posted because PimpHandHappy is a PS3 fanboy who is trying to get people to take my bubbles. Anything to annoy him makes my day. Besides my sales numbers show that VF5 isnt played out because PS3 owners didnt buy the game. Its more like not played since its not owned. The real reason you responded to me is because you are an obvious PS3 fanboy and cant stand when someone throws the only stats that matter in your face. Sales numbers.

Pimpdaddy, laughing at retarded comments from dumbasses like you makes my afternoon all the funnier. Sony and MS fanboys - you gotta love em.

And to be honest i'd rather the PS3 version because you cannot play a beat em up with an analog stick, and the 360s dpad feels like it was designed and produced in taiwan.

MikeGdaGod6042d ago

well i bought this game but it didn't get much play. it loads too slow and doesn't have many backgrounds and fighters. Tekken DR is much much better and only cost $30 with online. that's probably why it didn't sell that well. Tekken DR is way better.

Jamaicangmr6042d ago

Yeah my friend bought a PS3 a few weeks ago an got this with it. I borrowed it from him and i really don't see what all the hype was about. This feels date compared to Tekken 5 DR:O. Don't get me wrong the graphics are very impressive but thats basically it. Everything else felt slow and just not fun, in my opinion anyway. For me it's Soul Calibur and Tekken in that order.

gEnKiE6042d ago

Pimpdaddy, your an f***ing moron....for one, vgchartz is not a reliable source and second, what the hell does the amount sold have to do with how much pimphandhappy played the game. All 360 fanboys talk about how stupid comments ps3 fanboys make and look at what you just proved....This site is getting ridiculous...

Violater6042d ago

this site has become ridiculous.
And is no longer held in high esteem across the net like it used to be.
I'll say it again, the member accounts need to be reset with IP logging.
And the ban hammer needs to swing Weekly!!

You da man now, dawg!

NUFF SAID!

Ri0tSquad6042d ago

Pimpdaddy would be talking dirt about this game. I mean seriously he has got to be the biggest fanboy on this site and the little kidd types pages of bashing on a console he doesn't even own. Its quite easy to tell when you fanboys (use to be gamers or never one) are just full of sh*t sometimes.

Gamer luv6041d ago

Well, i think PS3 fans will stick to Tekken, and 360 fans will stick with Dead Or Alive, as both are clearly better then VF5. DoA4 is a much more fluent fighting game, and from previous tekkens you can say the same thing.

VF5 was ok for a while, but its just not good enough to compete with DoA and Tekken.

But if we showed a comparison video of online multiplayer, the PS3 version would be just a blank screen.

Dpa6042d ago

But if we showed a comparison video of this game a year ago, the 360 version would be just a blank screen.

macsto6042d ago

Actually a year ago virtua fighter 5 wasnt out on the Playstation 3. :o)

LSDARBY6042d ago

This is what they manage with the extra dev time.

Bloodmask6042d ago

Both of the console versions are "ports" of the "arcade" version. Both versions will be pretty much identical based on that. Except for the online functionality.

Azures6042d ago

Something tells me Bloodmask you'd be here pissing on the ps3 if you saw even an extra polygon for the 360, so cut the crap.

wageslave6042d ago

It looks like the lighting on the fighters in the Xbox 360 version is more accurate and active. The PS3 models look dark, with less contrast and the light is 'blocky' and less nuanced.

andy0016042d ago (Edited 6042d ago )

This will be the norm I think. The multi console games will be virtually identical and it will be up to the exclusives to differentiate the consoles.

As far as online multiplayer and fighting games, I think lag becomes a difficult issue to overcome, as timing is so important. It is not something I look for in a fighting game, the best of which is soul calibur anyway :o)

JsonHenry6042d ago

Amen Brotha! Soul Caliber FTW!!

Marceles6042d ago

Only insane fanboys would notice an extreme difference between them, but they looked identical to me. If there was a difference, it wasn't enough for me to ooh and awe.

ry-guy6041d ago

I had the same thought. They looked nearly identical. Even if I tried I couldn't come up with anything.

Sgt_Slaughter1065d ago

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.

SierraGuy1746d 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?
