Online Multiplayer Patch for VF5 PS3?

Xbox 360 owners rejoiced when Sega and AM2 announced that their version of Virtua Fighter 5 would incorporate long desired online multiplayer features, but PlayStation 3 gamers who'd picked up the game earlier in the year felt left in the cold. A Games Convention 2007 interview with AM2 Assistant Manager Tohru Murayama at Total Video Games, however, provides hope for the future.

Murayama acknowledged that PS3 owners are disappointed and suggested there was "no doubt" AM2 could theoretically release a patch to add online multiplayer features to the PS3 version.

It will happen sooner or later, the game did well on the PS3 considering the current user base number. It would be poor on Sega's side to not release the patch.

Everyone knows the reason it wasn't included was because AM2 wanted to hurry and get this game to market. What a great gift it would be for them to give to players who play on a free online service. It just makes sense.

fopums6077d ago

damn skippy! thats what patchs are for :D

Meus Renaissance6077d ago

I dont understand why they couldn't have done this months ago?

WaggleLOL6077d ago (Edited 6077d ago )

Whatever, VF5 is old news that no one but the tiny 360 crowd is interested in anymore.

Tekken 5DR Online - 1080p 60fps online goodness is right around the corner.

LOL, a year old port with crappier graphics than the PS3! Yeah, console gamers are going to be running out to pick up those dusty 360 still sitting on store shelves since last December's channel flooding by Microsoft.

Sour Grapes that VF5 is going to be best on the 360!

What is?

Witcher III, Slay the Spire, Virtua Fighter 5, and Sonic Mania are an excellent lineup of titles to add.

Smok911053d ago (Edited 1053d ago )

Lol thanks for your thoughts. Let’s now collectively disagree.

waderae1053d ago

How can you disagree with virtua fighter 5? You haven't played it. It's not out.

Hawk1986661052d ago

All the disagreeing are fools. You thinking adding a 6yrs old game thats timed, that's on sale nearly all the time for cheap is a great addition as the main game?? 2 of the games are previous PS+ games so a lot will already have them. And Virtua Fighter nearly everyone will already have that through plus! You're all Clueless

SegaSaturn6691053d ago

Those are great titles. Real treat.

Rocosaurus1053d ago

Love witcher 3, but that game is six years old.

Eidolon1053d ago

Great great game. Would need another playthrough (Gwent and horse racing) to get the platinum, plus I never bought/played the expansions.

monkey6021053d ago

Slay the Spire is an incredible game

Highrevz1053d ago

Agreed but I almost slept on it if I’m honest.

It’s like a traditional turn based RPG without the dramatic story. Monster Train is another good game if you need something similar to Slay the Spire.

monkey6021053d ago

I've heard that actually. Not played it yet though. Good shout!

I'd love to see Sega bring back Eternal Champions.

BlackTar1871499d ago

Why is there no Star Gladiator or Battle Arena Toshinden?

Terry_B1499d ago

Because the other 10 mentioned series were better. Star Gladiator 2 was just the first part with more characters, Battle Arena Toshinden went really downhill after the 2nd game.

BlackTar1871499d ago (Edited 1499d ago )

o got it. Cause you said those games aren't as good... Got it.

since Battle 1&2 were pretty damn good and Star Gladiator 1 was very good those sound like perfect games to remake.

Also saying a fighting game is the same as it's predecessor with more characters sums up like 90% of all sequel fighting games.

Also BA3 was not a bad game and wasn't given a bad reception.

Skuletor1499d ago (Edited 1499d ago )

I think licensing is one of the major reasons Fight for NY hasn't been ported, since its original release. Def Jam had a poll on their Twitter a year or two ago asking if people would be interested in a new entry to the series. A surprise next gen release with AKI developing it would be cool

Silly gameAr1499d ago

Definitely yes to Weaponlord, Bloody Roar, Rival Schools, Power Stone, Bushido Blade, Darkstalkers, and the Def Jam games. I was really big into fighting games when I was younger. I would Like Primal Rage, B.A,T., and Eternal Champions to come back as well.

BlackTar1871499d ago

Primal Rage was good. There was also another game that was kinda like Weaponlord that I used to really like but I can't remember the name.

Ready to Rumble was cool back int he day as well

Ninver1499d ago

Rival schools and virtual fighters

Ask Sega. All of Yu's games haven't gotten updates. And they aren't helping to bring Shenmue 3 to console and PC. Spent most of their time on Sonic and Yakuza. Like they forgot the man that got them started. He was the "Miyamoto of Sega." Too many hits under hits belt.

VF is one of the best if not the best, technical fighters around based on real fighting styles. No supers, no finishers,etc. I wish there wasn't any juggling. It was fun as a videogame mechanic but I would like full realism for a fighting game. It's like adding nos to Gran Turismo. Would be fun. Just doesn't fit the realism Kaz wants in his game of winning through skill and perseverance.

I'm hoping for a new Sega surge of games in and out of VR and more respect for Yu and his properties. It's just not the same Sega I grew up with though.

As a side thing, Sega could have even updated Last Bronx to a modern fighter like Namco did with Soul Blade to Soul Calibur.

But they've sat on that too.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1735d ago

I 100% agree with what you said about VF. As someone who use to play VF5 at a high level I want nothing more than VF6 however, I’m scared to see what would happen to VF in this day and age of super meters, rage bars and 100 hit combos.

SierraGuy1735d ago

Exactly...I love Tekken but I love VF a little bit more.

tulholdren1735d ago (Edited 1735d ago )

Loved me some VF wish they would update the game i still remember my first Jeffery power bomb on VF 1.

PhoenixUp1735d ago

What happened to a lot of Sega’s classic franchises?
