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.

1 - So basically the Xbox-360 version

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

1.1 - Blah blah blah...

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.

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.

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.

3 - Wow cool but did you see the new Tekken 5: Dark Ressurection Add?

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?

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.

3.3 - My friend you just have put light into something very interesting

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 ?

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.

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.

5 - everyone knows

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.

5.2 - That has got to be one of the stupidist things I have ever heard on this site...

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.

5.4 - This reminds me of HOME...

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.

They have to make the distinction though to avoid confusion. I doubt its intentionally trying to advertise one console over the other, but even if they did - so what? They'll make more money selling on the 360 platform and they want to emphasise that this version is better.

They have a right to, it's their game.

They stated that the 360 version is the only one that's online so somebody doesn't buy the PS3 version and complain about false or confusing advertising. Only a true fanboy would think that this ad is trying to diss any console.

10.1 - exactly what I was going to say

By law under the trade descriptions act(uk) if they want to advertise the game as now online the have to say it's not online for the PS3 besides it not just a case of patching the game for the PS3 they need to run severs for ranked matches etc. and with the sales of the game maybe they though they could justify the extra expense

They've already sold most of the VF:5 copies they'll probably sell on PS3, so they have to promote the 360 version somehow, especially since it's coming out 7 months after the PS3 version.

I don't think that many people will buy VF5 on the 360 anyways, with Halo 3, CoD4, Orange Box, PGR4, Mass Effect etc etc. I think it will sell around 200,000 copies near Christmas maybe some more.

Shankle, I don't think I mentioned anywhere that that was highest priority in life. My highest priority in life is my Family, health and then my business (a video game store). I bet you wish you did that for a living. In terms of video games, I'd rather play a game that I enjoy that leaves some record of what I've done.

Anyway, don't get mad a me because the Playstation 3 is getting owned by Xbox 360.

promotes the truth. I would hate for people to buy a product without true specifications like Sega failing to mention that the PS3 version wasnt online. I think they would really hurt themselves by doing so.

I think that there are alot of VF fans who will buy the game for whatever system they own.

The 360 has online capabilities and the PS3 does not. Why hide the truth?

Extremely Edited- i sounded drunk!
