"1UP: I'm going to read between the lines here. Nice. Going back to the lack of online play for a moment, I know that AM2 has stated many times that the reason VF5 doesn't support online play is because the experience would be less than optimal, due to latency times and whatnot. But it doesn't take a mathematician to realize that if VF5 on home console did feature online play, that would threaten your thriving arcade business, which is dominant in Japan. After all, why would people pay to play and customize things in an arcade if they could do it for free at home online? How do you feel about that theory?

NS: That's totally not true. It is because of the delay experienced online, and because the environment and atmosphere of online play makes it impossible to re-create the gameplay as it is in the arcade version, and that's why we're not putting VF5 online."



Now Sock, it's time to stop saying it they don't wanna do it because offline would be compromised. I have no idea where you got that in your head in the first place.

You think offline practice, once a month tournaments, dead arcades, is going to keep the fighting genre alive?

Com'on man. Online is very important to the fighting genre. If there are two genres that should favor online support heavy is: FPS and Fighters. Fighting community is stagnet. We need to expand in the online industry.

YES I AM TALKING ABOUT 2 DIFFERENT GAMES!

Please read what I posted. Even games like Doa4 are basically considered 2 games, online and offline. As the offline code behaves different online. It's not "offline perfect" and the community accepts that, but that doens't stop them from utilizing online as a valuable resource and learning tool.

No one takes doa4 online play serious in the hardcore community due to this. But the size of the community has increased exponentially due to the fact the game is online.

PLEASE READ INSTEAD OF FLAME. The game will be the exact same code, offline and online, it will obviously just behave and play differently online due to latency. Adding that though does not hurt the core offline game.

Of course it's possible. However, Sega wasn't willing to take the time to make an online model equal to something like Bnet. It has been done, however, and I kinda find it insane that you cling on to the belief that Sega's the end all, be all of online knowledge. The fact is that online has been done well since the 90s, during the era of 56k. Sega just didn't have the will nor the time to make it work.

As I said, there are genres that require more actions per minute than fighting games that made the jump to online successfully. The fact is that online play is becoming a major factor in gaming. If Sega is unwilling to make the jump with their most successful multiplayer franchise, they are pretty much dooming themselves to low sales.

No, you can take the EXACT GAME and put it online. Will it play the EXACT SAME offline still? YES”

Will it play the EXACT SAME online? No, cuz even without lag online latency is always an issue. Would people who want to play the game on a casual level though be able to get more involved with other players and share strats if online were implemented? YES

And I must stress this again, the game would have the EXACT SAME CODE, and have an IDENTICAL OFFLINE COMPONENT.

A not-perfect online mode is better then nothing at all is my point.

[QUOTE="SockPuppetHyren"][QUOTE="shungokustasu"]Hear is a thought. Change the frames of each move online. If a jab takes 4 frames to do off-line, make it 8 online.shungokustasu
