Virtua Fighter 5...

[Po]

I'm sure the 360 version will have online play.

I am a hardcore VF fan, if you dont have anyone to play with, or some arcade place you can go to that have this game, then dont bother. Its complicated and its not fun if you just gona play with CPU.

And lol at all those reviewer that says "no online play?? this is teh sux!!." online play will never work with this game, unless you playing with someone next door lol. On the other hand, i dont see anything worth buying on PS3 right now more than this game anyway lol, give it a rent and see how it goes.

From what I've read VF5 arcade has online play?? If it works there why wouldn't it work on home consoles?

VF3 and VF4 also had online arcade play in Japan. It's not a new concept for the series, and it worked well. Games like MvC2 and CvS2 also ran well online for consoles dating back to Dreamcast in Japan (why they couldn't get it right in the US is beyond me.) Infinites, CCs, and parry/JD rely as much on frame data as VF does.

because despite the fact we pay up the ass for cable connections, the data cables running throughout american neighborhoods is old and dated.

Thats true, Japan is 100% linked with fiber, and over 80% of the people that subscribe to an ISP use the fiber option. USA is linked with under 50% and some percent under 15% subscribe to it, I dont remember the NA #s.

Then shouldn't they have made online play for VF5? No wonder the game flopped hard in japan. I wouldn't have bought it if the arcade had online but the console version did not.

I was referring to the poster above me as to why Online in Japan has so much less lag (why fighting games work so much better online) if the JP version of VF5 dosen't have online I was unaware, that is stupid.
