Support NeoGAF

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Of course they do a sale for the system I don't own an arcade stick for.

Pay $100 to save $15. And that's only if I decide to get both DLCs...not worth it.

 

[Takuan]

Can we actually see what we get with the DLC pack before buying? I almost want to buy this out of principle, but I'm not really huge on character personalization.

 

[kunonabi]

30$ for the whole thing?

Hell yes. Now I get VF and 20 bucks to spend on a psp game.

 

[Terareflection]

wow, well I guess I'll just get complete edition then.

Learning this game, KoF, and SSFIV:AE all at the same time will be hard.

It was never daunting for me to switch between different fighting games. I could remember combos in Tekken, even after playing nothing but KOF for a few months.

It's not exactly VF, but it might be relevant to your interests. Check it out during the excruciating wait for Final Showdown.

OMG. I'm now hyped for DOA5. I see in the comments section that DOA will be getting a cameo from Pai too, is that correct?

 

[DR2K]

Yup, according to the files datamined from the alpha build Pai is the last VF rep in DOA5.

Which is awesome, but they should've added Jacky over Sarah.

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Which is awesome, but they should've added Jacky over Sarah."

You really think a DOA game would add a dude over a chick?


"It was never daunting for me to switch between different fighting games. I could remember combos in Tekken, even after playing nothing but KOF for a few months."

Yep, I still remember some Tekken 6 combos and I only played that game for a few weeks several years ago. Don't underestimate the old noggin.

 

[DR2K]

Jack would have been good, but Jann Lee already has his style. Whereas nothing in DOA comes close to Sarah.

Ya, my life will just be eaten up by the FGC, so I guess that's not so bad. I've already gotten sucked into GGPO and playing Vampire savior.

 

[KTallguy]

Man that kata Akira was doing in the DOA video... something about the animation made him look weaker than he does in VF. It feels kinda floaty.

VF is hard precisely because the game is so 3D, especially when you start considering foot position and walls.

Sick, I was on the fence with DOA but I think this pushed me over.

 

[Master Thespian]

Also VF5 is 2D.

Spoiler

No jump/air attack vector. #kappa

Not true. Not to the level of 2D games, but FS in particular has stepped up the jumping games. That'd be like me saying 2D games are all long distance because their close quarters game isn't as developed as that of a 3D game.

 

[crimzonflame]

What is the size of the download?

 

[DRE Fei]

What is the size of the download?

1.9 gigs for just the game itself. I believe all the dlc combined is close to that also.

I pretty much wont be playing this until tomorrow then.

 

[Takuan]

I barely have any space left in my 40GB. Maybe I'll forego the DLC.

Now, if only I could purchase this now. These evening hour store updates are a joke.

Don't say such things, it'll be worth it. I promise.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

so I just caught wind of the Virtua Fighter sale on PSN. I own both a PS3 and 360 but I mainly play fighters on the 360. Should I just get the game on PSN? I never really played fighters online on PSN lol.....but as long as the player base is bigger on PS3 then it's worth it to me. what do you think?

I'm sticking with 360. The player base is weird - on one hand, this is the first VF that's been online for PS3, so there's no fragmentation. On the other hand, bigger pool of people on 360. I just play all my multiplayer on 360 so that's the way I'm going. The deal doesn't affect me as I own it on 360 already so I'm looking at $30 either way.

it's just alternate costumes right?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Oh no. Throw 500-1000ish items into the mix as well as the alternates!

hmmmm, thanks for the input.

Are the items for customization specific to each character or can they be used on anyone?

 

[Deleted member 47027]

From what I understand, almost all of them are specific to each character. It's a staggering amount of items. Someone who has had access to the Japanese arc version can say for sure, since the items aren't available yet (and has me holding my crotch in anticipation)

 

[Teknopathetic]

"Are the items for customization specific to each character or can they be used on anyone?"


500-1000 items *per character*.

[Deleted member 47027]

Does this have Quest mode at all?

I didn't see anyone answer this yet - it's not Quest Mode like previous VFs but it is locked behind the item DLC - which nobody has access to yet since the item DLC is not available until launch. I expect it to be a little more stripped down, but I'm sure that's where I'll spend 90% of my time.

 

[panda21]

so pumped for this.

not sure if i want it on ps3 or 360, is there any meaningful difference?

i think the ps3 controller might be better than having to use a sfiv fightpad on 360.

Graphically, none that I can see. Depends on your controller and online preference. You won't want to use a fightpad though, I mean, I guess I never even really wanted to. 3 buttons make it viable even on the Genesis!

I suspect the 360 playerbase will be much stronger to begin with due to VFDC, the PS3 base will be larger and improve rapidly though.

I also expect PS3 to be tourney standard for this, though I'd get a dual mod (like I did just to be sure).

yeah, I have a dual mod stick... so that's why I'm stumped. I would have got this on 360 no doubt, but that sale is tempting me hardcore.

The wait is killing me.

For $45 you can get PSN+ All DLC , and XBL without DLC on the other.

 

[Deleted member 47027]

I still can't get over how hard it is for me to re-learn Goh. It's seriously difficult, and I find myself lapsing back into my VF5 vanilla moves that DO NOT WORK. It's tough.

I am enjoying Jean though. Got this...stuttery style I really feel clicks with me. I've always been a fan of somewhat odd playstyles (Dhalsim main here)

 

[Mr. Rellik]

But when psn+ expires don't you lose the game?

 

[IronLich]

Add me to the PSN list.

PSN: RADRAD1985 (South Pennsylvania)

I intend to Sarah my way to the top. And I'm basically on Cloud 9 knowing she's in DOA5, as well.

 

[Cloudius12]

If you buy the complete edition, you own it. You will probably lose the game if your PSN+ expires.

 

[panda21]

can't really imagine using it on the 360 controller though. but then the fightpad isn't great for VF either imo.

i guess i will go ps3 since i have a stick for that.

PSN store cannot update fast enough.
