Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown

yeah, i know, i read the gamespot article.

still.. 5 years? banging on sega's door for VF5? why not bang on the door for Vf6 now.. it's not that i think it's pointless, i'm happy for the VF fans who finally get to play this game, just.. feels like sega is not bothering to develop VF6 but they still want to capitalize on this fighting game revival so they just release a home version of a 3-4 year old arcade game in the summer of 2012...

also that interview felt like gamespot was talkin with a robot.

still.. i give it the golf clap.
 
It probably took so long because of the numerous revisions that they've made to the game, and now they're at a point where they feel like they can release the game to console, and not do something that would kill the game such as having different version of the game on console, or have the console version different from the arcade version.

Then the other reason why it took so long is probably due to them still making money from the game being in the arcades in Japan while everywhere else in the world VF is not as popular. Plus operators need to make their money back from buying the arcade board. Plus they're going to save money by making the game download only then trying to go through the effort of releasing the game at retail.

It would have been nice if it came out sooner, but you're getting a solid fighting game that's balanced and tested in the arcades. I'm excited.
 
And Sega better not do something dumb like announce VF6 after I buy this game.
Dude, you know they will. That's how Sega rolls with this franchise.

Well, I had some fun with VF5 Online long ago...But I also remember being extremely frustrated. (then again, most of my FL, is fighting game players of various skill levels so, heh) bah, no matter. will be getting this. Fun is to be had.
