Nope.
I guess people are gonna keep asking that…
That sounds cool. Does the game also do a good job of emulating low-end and intermediate players as well?
Is there variety in how the AI plays? Can one cpu opponent be really agressive while the next guy is a turtle? I hate how fighting game AI only seems to have one style of play.
OMFG!
This is the greatest news ever!!
I do not have to spend 600 to enjoy VF5!!! SEGA I LOVE YOU AGAIN!!!
Microsoft has officially won the next gen wars now.
Yeah, they all variate… Each AOI tends to play differently…But after a while… it does seem like you’re fighting the same thing… but, unlike Tekken and other games, it takes a much longer time to realize how similar it is and what the CPU falls for.
Anyone who wants online play in VF5 is not a true fan.
Then again anyone who cares about a home version of VF5 is not a true, true fan, but this is the United States, after all, not Akihabara.
All I have to say is Sega just saved me 600$, and has given me another reason to love my 360 for reasons other than Gears and Dead Rising. Thank you.
YOU’RE THE MAN!!!
Shag,
Please hit me up on AIM at vmf425 when you have some time. Or Hopefully I’ll see you at nyclan tonight.
Sorry Vic, I won’t be at the NYCLAN party tonight. A high level player from Japan studying in the States is visiting NYC now and he wanted to meetup with the VF crew tonight.
I’ll be sure to get in contact with you later though.

… Does everybody here have a T1 connection?.. better yet… does everybody here have an optical connection?.. get 1000mpbs at their house?
right… it’s only been said a thousand times as to why there’s no online support for most fighting games… much less a 3D one that’s as complex as VF is…
I don’t care if the online play isn’t arcade perfect, and the fact of the matter is that most people except for the ones here won’t care either. If they want this game to appeal to a larger fanbase then they need to make it online.
And this is why many people won’t be buying it (casual players). Look at what online play has done for 3s. I think the same thing could happen to VF.
i agree. online may suck for the most part. am2 obviously knows this. but there are people who enjoy it online, especially the more casual crowd and the crowd that wanna play people, but live in the boondocks with no one to play. the idea is to give the scene of players, a reason to actually bother sitting down and take time to learn. putting the game online doesnt affect the product in anyway. you can only play the cpu so much, granted vf’s history of single player modes is pretty dope. but i think am2 is looking at it the wrong way. sure it wont be perfect, i totally agree on why they dont wanna do it, but at the same time, they arent gonna hurt the product at all adding it either, it can only improve. doa thrives online and plays pretty well from what i play. 3d just seems to work better online it seems. i think with how huge online gaming has got on the console side of things, that its really silly to not add online play to a competitive style game. can you imagine games like quake without online play? certainly not.
i think online is what the US needs, to help motivate players into finally learning an amazing series that wrongfully has been ignored for far too long. i think a vf net setup in game that mimics the arcade vf net would be so fucking awesome in so many ways. bringing vfnet to live, man, it would just be so fun i think
Wow, SaBrE finally agrees with me on something. Combined with the news of this game coming out for the 360, I predict the end of the world soon… hopefully not until after this game comes out though.
I have to agree, only about 10% of America has an arcade of any quality within reasonable driving distance of them
i’d argue that it’s even less than that… a QUALITY one? The break, FFA, and pinball? That’s about all that come to mind… as in a good looking cade WITH a large selection of games… (keep in mind, i haven’t ventured to cades outside of the NE section of the states that often.
I don’t know how much online play would help the VF scene. That is what people said about DoA with Ultimate and 4, and the community for those games is a total joke. (However, one major help is that there has been a longstanding core group of players for VF). Online people are going to play online, and that’s it. Most of the players are not going to take the game seriously enough to travel hours to play other human beings (and that’s their choice, whatever you think of it).
The reason this game is not online is financial (even though they deny it; why the hell would you believe them?) They do not want to hurt the arcade operators that feed their bottom line by buying these expensive kits and vf.net subscriptions. Even if the console version would not hurt the arcade scene (or even improve it), it’s an issue of perception. There is a reason why SF2:HF isn’t available for the X360 in Japan.
Fixed. :V
Well online play has created a very very large pool of mid level players for DoA4. the only problem is that many doa players are still in the age group of 16-20, where as the other fighters have age groups of 20+ hence more opportunities to travel.
<----buying a 360 in June/July
I thought the clerk at GameCrazy was bsing when he said this would be coming out for 360.
I would like to play it sooner tho’…
For the online play AM2 should take a cue from VF4 and have a character you train to fight fight anothe person’s trained character.

Enterbrain mook ARCADIA EXTRA Vol.37 Virtua Fighter5 BlackBook -Keep it MORAL-
Oh man that looks like a tempting buy, a little late considering the money I already dropped for xmas shopping. I wanna see the Japanese Akira, Wolf, and Sarah teams.
And yeah, add me to the “Yah for 360, screw Sony bandwagon. +1”
