dude....FLCL is awesome...

i think it's about time someone other than sony a port of the great sega arcade fighting sim. i'm sure it won't be long before sony gets online. or maybe sega realized how much greater live is than sony's online.tboacons

I don't mean to start some PSNvsXBL war here, but hows is Live better than PSN when it comes to actually playing games online? I find my self never lagging on PSN when playing with my friends back in England, but on Live I from time to time lag rather badly when playing with them, for example the other day I was playing Halo 3 co-op with a friend of mine, and the lag made it impossible to play, tho to be fair when we rehosted the server it was lagless!

As for why VF5 among some other games don't have online on their PS3 version I would guess it's because Sony lives up everything to the dev/publisher them selves, and they might find that more troubling than it's worth.

Online won't even be that great. Where PS3-only owners really get the shaft is in the fact that the 360 gets version C.DarkCatalyst

Any word on what kind of changes will be made in Version C?

Anything substantial?

I'm getting it either way but I wascurious.

I've been really out of the loop until recently, so I'm not sure of anything really specific. However, a lot of people I know were praying for vB to not be the last version, and they seem thrilled with vC, so it must be pretty good stuff.

One thing I'm hearing is that the game just "feels faster", which suggests some frames were shaved off of quite a few moves. I can't get confirmation on that though.

i downloaded the demo the other day and i have to admit, the game looks a LOT better than i thought it would...i heard that the training mode is not as fleshed out as it was in vf4:evolution...is this true? i didn't get to spend a lot of time with vf4:evo so i'm pretty much starting over again this time...so how good is the training mode in the console versions?

unfortunately this will be a title that gets pushed back to early next year for me as i'll be playing mostly shooters this holiday season...i didn't want to pick it up and play an hour here, an hour there because this will be something i want to dedicate some serious time to....

I stop reading after you said that the Xbox thinks its cool, and who's to say that it won't come out on the PS3 later on? Nobody, so calm down a little bit..

While we don't know for sure, if there's lag involved, it'll ruin the game. Sadly, a lot of fighters are hit by this problem...

Funny you should mention that. I was playing the XB360 demo and I noticed it seemed a tad faster but I thought perhaps it was just my imagination.

Regardless, AM2 has always been good about making tweaks so I'm comfortable making the purchase.

The only limitation could be the fact that Sega itself would not want to do so. The reasoning behind this is that since 360 is not popular in Japan, having a VF5 with online would not affect the VF Arcade scene that thrives in Japan. But since PS3 does outsell 360 in Japan, if Sega made available an online ver of VF5 for PS3 then they could hurt Arcade attendance. Sega owns a ton of arcades over there, so doing so would only hurt their own interest.SciFiCat

I wonder what reasoning led Sega to ship VF5 PS3 with such poor AI (in the quest mode)? Unlike the quest mode of both VF4s, opponents never capitalize on catches. I couldn't care less about online play (I strongly doubt it will work) and I don't know anything about Version C (version B was fine by me) but I will pick up the X360 versionof VF in the near future if it fixes that one flaw. Allowing replays for any type of match would be nice as well.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to update the PS3 version via downloadable content or perhaps just release a budget priced updated version similar to VF4: Evolution.

Anyway I tried the demo on the 360 version and it seems quite nice so I'm definately looking forward to picking this game up.

Looking back, it seems like the first (and only in the case of VF3) home version of the odd numbered VFs is always lacking (VF1, VF3 and now VF5) so I guess I should have seen this coming.

It kind of sucks that I have to spend money fixing what shouldn't have been broken (VF5 with VF4's AI and replay system doesn't seem like too much to ask) but VF is an amazing series so I'll eventually spend the 100+ bucks a joystick (I normally don't buy them, but I don't think much of the X360's d-pad)and the game will set me back.

You'll want to get the stick right away, since they go out of production quickly.

That being said, I just got my hands on the VF5 stick, and I have to say it feels a lot more solid than the DOA4 stick from early last year. I won't go so far as to suggest it's a Sanwa, but I will say this is the closest I've seen anyone come to the official Dreamcast stick yet, this one maybe even matching it.

It probably has something to do with the extra 8 months of development the Xbox game has gotten.H3LLRaiseR

This can't be right it's too obvious.

Well, maybe the topic creator doesn't like Tekken Online.

Without a doubt, that's smart marketing. I think it will definitely attract a fair share of people who never played VF before... To think more about it though, 360's online platform is still more solid than PlayStation Home...
