That game is so awesome. Just tried it out really quickly, love the enhancements to the evation system works much easier now.
Oh and I too have the overscan problem.

So this game is worth it then?
I've traditionally been a big Tekken guy, myself, but have recently pulled out the old VF4: Evo and it's been fun.
Granted, the gameplay is there. Does this game really look as amazing as the photos posted here? A few reviews have said the backgrounds are "flat."

Damn this game is HOT!
So just for the record, because I got in a big argument with a friend about this... there is NO WAY the Xbox 360 version would have online VS matches, is there? Like, 0% chance?

I picked up my copy today during lunch, and DAMN the game is awesome. But I can't play it very well with the Sixaxis and now I'm tempted to buy the damn Hori stick. Fu*k.

This game is awesome. Eileen and El Blaze are sooo good. They are both really fun to use. The graphics are amazing. This game is easily one of the best looking next-gen games that I've played. Its definitely the best looking fighting game on the market by a landslide.
And every time El Blaze says hotdog it cracks me up...reminds me of that Mad TV sketch.

ugh - im tempted to go buy the Hori stick tomorrow - only two things making me want to wait...
1.) I want a wireless arcade stick....
2.) Doesnt work with PS2 games....
I can deal with issue 1, but issue 2 is prolly gonna kill the deal for me by morning....I just have too many PS2/PSOne games in my stack that could really benefit from a digital stick....
Fighters and 2D shooters....

This game is incredible. I LOVE the music, I can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet. It's such a huge improvement over VF4's. Damn the game looks gorgeous on my 42" HDTV. Back to playing, will post more impressions later. 
One thing that really impressed me....
In pix and videos I thought the characters looked a bit plasticy.....
However on my TV in 720p they look like damn real life action figures in motion fighting.....
Im glad it exceeded my expectations there...
didnt end up playing it multi tonight - Played arcade solo by myself lots.

I hope I'm not the only one, dissapointed bynot having an option to 'Remove', in the pants/trousers area in customization..at least for El Blaze. ...

So far it's everything I'd hoped it'd be. Went into quest mode and I know it's supposed to be hard to get items but after 20 or so fights I still only have 50g (and i need like 1000 to get anything!).

First, this game looks amazing, I suck at it, (first time ever playing a VF game) and the animations are so smooth.
I also had an overscan problem, but I changed the PS3's display settings to 480 / 720 / 1080P. I unchecked 1080i and now I don't have any overscan problems.

The game is spectacular. I tried out El Blaze, nice move list but it will take a lot of practice to master him. I still play with my Lau, he is even more bad ass then ever .
In quest mode I have made it up to 4th kyu, about 15-0. Fights have been really easy, but I switched it to hard and it made it much more interesting. But i have to admit the quest mode is lacking. Where are the different missions you can do in each arcade, like don't use a throw move, or win 5 matches in a row, stuff like that. That was a huge part of the quest experience and its just gone.
Also I can't believe they took out the basic training that shows you the basics of the VF fighting system. That thing trained me back with VF4, without it I would be no where, how can they take it out. That also showed you advanced combos for each player, it was so good but now not so much.
But the gameplay is amazing and that is what matters.

Although I can't try it on VF5 yet, I connected the HRAP3 to my PC. Plug and play, it came up as a 13 button (8 buttons + start/select + home/L3/R3) joystick right away. Tried it in MAME and SFA3 controlled perfectly (shut up, I own four copies of the game).
If you're gonna play many fighters and other arcade games on your PS3 and/or PC, it's excellent.

Finally done a load of pictures of VF5 (144) if anyone wants to take a look feel free here...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/dazzyman/sets/
Appologies for the watermarks (and if any site wants the originals just PM us please). I have included pictures of the box, Hori Pro 3 (close up as well) and the box for it and stacks and stacks of ingame fight shots.
Few examples here (usual taken on Sony X 46" and these are at 720p)

Boy, things sure are different since Street Fighter 2 :lol
I am over my head here in trying to accomplish these moves. I think a part of it is the controller for some of the movements, but these combos that require hitting 7 or 8 buttons (or more) in perfect sequence is going to take a looong time to get good at. And forget about learning counters and using different fighting styles and the like.
I don't think I've ever seen such technical requirements and I guess it's been this way for years.
I'm not a fighting guy, but I've got to imagine that the "button masher" tag that people use for certain fighting games could never be applied to VF.
So, I have three basic questions:
1) Most accessible characters for noobs.
2) Most "fun" characters for noobs.
3) Is the fighting stick an absolute requirement to really get alot out of this game?
Oh, by the way, this game is friggen gorgeous.

1- Lau, Jacky, Pai, Sarah in that order
2- El Blaze, Eileen, Lei Fei
3- not really, if you played SF, VF, SC, or T at aracades you will favore arcade sticks more, but if learned to play SF2 on a SNES pad then the sixaxis won't bother you

one big thing I have noticed in VF5 are hit throws or any move that requires a hit to land for the following hit to be able to executed.. those are easier to perform now
LOL, they even gave Akira an easier commanding DLC (and there is the old command still there for a original massive damage )
on other fronts, Akira's old d+K+G, K, b, f+P has been simplified to d+K+G, K, f+P
I always liked Akira (despite his god forsaken 1 frame knee) and I really like him allot better now.
Allot of people say "don't play Akira! he is hard to use!", but personaly I find Akira way more intuitive to use then some other hard to use characters in the game. Akira isn't that daunting, it's just he doesn't have those PPP strings so you he feels more like a SPECIAL MOVES character and that I like

Errr...guys, what are the differences between the various Hori Arcade Sticks? One's bigger (the $90 one), but anything else? Which ones are good to get?
Wow, I think I love this game. This is the first VF that I'm actually playing seriously. I've played before, but I've never owned one.
Quick question, where does Brad rank on the 'good for n00bs' scale. He's the character I've been playing with, and I seem to be doing alright in quest mode with him. But would it be better if I learned a different character first to get the VF basics down?
