I played it on 360 (GC Germany)

Might change for final rev, dunno

 

hmmm dunno if its been talked about. hey fishie is vf.tv on the 360 ver. or are replays just on the initial disk

 

Fishie - I'm Leo Tan the PR man. We might know each other if you're a journalist in the UK.

 

Yeah, but, and this is a HUGE but, what if the rules are different when playing online? What if the online code just simulated offline play so that roughly, what you do offline still works?

That's quite optimistic, I know, but until we have it we don't know. I heard AM2 has been working on their network code for yonks. They might have a few workarounds.

 

Did anybody hear something about a downloadable demo?
Somewhen?
Somewhere?
...

 

I've heard a recent interview where the demo question has been posed, and they're not confirming or denying anything. It seems like there's still a possibility, but they haven't decided yet.

 

Ah no then.
I am not in the UK and when I need something for UK I generally talk with McGarry

 

If you do come over, give us a shout and we'll get a match on /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

Will do, might be in a few weeks even for meetings with Adam from Kikizo(fat cunt he became)

 

DEFO. He's moved to London now so that should be easy enough.

 

Yeah, paying insane rent for a 4 tatami room

Huahuahuahua

 

I got some more time with what I think is the final build on the weekend. Mostly single player, as there weren't any other players there. Well, there were other people playing, but none who had even commited to a character, say.

I think the AI really is noticably better. I don't think it's any replacement for human opposition, obviously, but for instance I couldn't rape it endlessly with Lion's 43P for easy wins. It seemed to adapt better, and switched its throw patterns in an intelligent manner. Final tier on arcade/score attack was just about right for my level, which is two directions consistently, changing if somebody throws the same perhaps twice in a row.

Also, I know you know it, but getting 50,000g is quite nice when you create a character.

In the shop I didn't really notice many new items, certainly not more than a few, which to me implies the new items are mostly high tier items.

Still no tutorial mode, a la VF4 Evo on PS2 /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

Spent more time on the stick, but I don't think anybody here needs updating on that. It'll do for me, I guess, though if I was an Akira player I probably couldn't cope.

But yeah, to summarise, the AI is now pretty good for intermediate players, like me. High level play with fuzzy and evading with dash cancelling and all that, I've no idea.

 

Thanks for the update leo! Did you get a chance to try the new features in the Dojo?

 

AM2 said sommenthing about adding audio commentaries for the Euopean version,any idea about that?

 

I didn't notice any commentary as it was set to off as default. Which probably says everything.

The Dojo felt different; I did pop in for a cursory glance, but as I don't mess around with it much in the PS3 version I couldn't tell you what the definite differences are. But it's nothing massively different, just a few more options for dictating AI's behaviour.

El Blaze has rooster masks in the shop from the beginning and they are SEX.

No entrances, like we're getting in the youTube vids. Maybe via patch? I already got the gamerpics (rubbish) and theme (average). They could release £100-worth of rubbish gamerpics and I'd buy them, though.

There's a brilliant all-Akira theme up on Partnernet, which gives me hope for character-specific themes later. El Blaze with rooster mask for the win!

 

Red turning Shun

Re: Red turning Shun
