      I would love for this game to be released on disc... C'mon, sega... Please..

      I may end up getting it anyway after I get over it.. But, right now... I'm not liking the DLC only thing...

      I know, it's good for my eye lens. But, I like my physical media too.. and, I can't bring it with me when i go visit people... I'm not hauling my PS3 around. Oh well....



      I'm joining.

      Didn't expect it out of the blue like that, I Was looking at TGS in a month. Also surprising that it's been announced so far ahead of release. Maybe another update before console release? Also I'm wondering how much of the arcade content will be kept back for DLC and what are the new modes not seen in VF5?

      Remember when Jide said it would be a downloadable game over a year ago and Myke's cryptic response [​IMG]

      Hey guys,

      Syzygy@SEGA of America here. I'm glad the day has finally come when we could share this news. Thanks for the patience!

      Just to quickly point out the arcade machines won't be on the show floor at PAX. They'll actually be across the street at Gameworks. You will not need a PAX badge to get into Gameworks. (There might be other limiting factors but a PAX badge is not one of them.)

      If any of you do visit Gameworks say hello!

      okay so now that i've calmed down and did some reading...


      GS: What will be included? Are we looking at standard console-version modes?

      Sega: Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown will introduce a new single player mode. Besides online and single-console multiplayer, there will also be some modes that weren't seen in Virtua Fighter 5. We'll be talking about those in more detail in the future.

      GS: Since online is going to be incorporated, is there going to be spectator or tournament functionality?

      Sega: Those modes will not be included.


      WHAT THE FUCK!?

      Wow glad that VF5:FS finally getting a home release O_O

      I might sell my xbox360 for a ps3 now since VF5:Online was one of the main reasons me and my wife got an XB360(Yugioh and NeoGeo Battle Coliseum was the others). But then again Xbla is still better than PSN but, PSN is free.... Eh I'll stick with XB360 ^_^
