How would you update VF5 R Online

Make RANK MODE like the Quest Modes interface online.

Example show a World Map
Within each part of the world there would be arcades set up...lets say..

Japan would have two arcades (w/ 4 machines each)
Europe would have three arcades (w/ 4 machines each)
United states would have four arcades (w/ 4 machines each)
so on and so forth (this would help reduce bad connection gameplay)

so take for example the U.S.
The 4 arcades would be in different areas of the country.
You would have East Coast, West Coast, South West, and North West
Once you select your region you then enter the arcade screen where you can see who the winners are for that certain machine.
you would then put a virtual coin up and play when it becomes available.

I wouldn't want to make it possible to view current matches because that would introduce lag to the gameplay. You would just have to wait your turn.

Item Changes:
I want the ability to win ITEMS or ORBS when playing online
VF.TV I want a room to view top ranked matches online (like PGR)

Anyways those are just some ideas...what would you want?

 

more costumes. the game needs more costumes. online is the only way to remedy this shortfall.

miniskirts and thigh highs for everyone.

GE

 

I dont want to see Brads hairy sack! WTF! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sick.gif

 

This is one of the best ideas I have heard in a long time!!

 

I would just want it current with the arcade version. I dont mind if I had to pay for it.

 

Who says they're hairy, or if he even has a sack?

Shit, with the facial hair "he" has, "he" could very well be a lady going through hormonal treatment.

 

Nice or Just Make VF online experience by adding Rooms with avatars like DOA4. Lobby system where you can just watch battles in the lobby on the big screen with like 12 people per room with chatting if you don't want to play. Add a better filter system.

 

I saw you just give me the ability to NOT play someone laggy and play someone again in ranked. That is all.

 

I like what you're saying there. some good ideas (often seems daft that high money earning developers cant think of these things)
what i'd like to see embelishing on your ideas, is a lobby system for each region as you said. but then take it akin to Phantasy star online, what i mean by that is players freely roaming about an arcade area. then choosing to sit at a machine to create a room for private "round robin" with varying rules such as winner stays on, or cycling through your lobby mates in a win/loss league.
Just choose to go up to an arcade cabinet then you can view all those waiting for matches or create one yourself ie an open challenge.
Allowing to choose a character on the proper character select screen together like playing next to each other, then at the end of a battle choosing either to return to character select, rematch, save replay, view other matches or exit arcade machine.

still leaves the issue of what your character looks like in the lobby, but a bit of fun with VF Kids like custom avatars could be interesting arcing back to acknowledge its title of a few years back.

 

I did'nt give you the ability to do shit.I gave you an option.
AS far as im concern i just basically gave you DOA4 Lobby system's core sans repeating Ranked matches.

 

I think he meant to use "say" instead of "saw".

Anyway another neat option would be for both players to be 1P. I mean it is not like you are playing on the same screen so why not just reverse the image for the 2P so it can look to them like they are 1P. To me this would make everything a bit more even.

 

Well, if someone prefers to be on one side, then it should be OK.
But... should the camera change during the match if I for example get thrown, or should it get back to me being on my fav. (1P or 2P) side?
Such camera might be a bit of a problem in VF5R, where we're gonna have non-square stages.
Anyway, the idea is good, though I prefer to get used to both sides /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

quest mode should be changed so that you would have to play on 2P side sometimes. that way everybody would learn to play on 2P side

 

Maybe not for online, but it would be nice to have knockout trial 3 in the game. We need more pirates and pilgrims.

 

would be cool if they made the online interface as similar to the versas city arcade setup as possible...so something like this:

when you play normal mode (or quest) you get two options. vs play or 1 up.

if you choose vs play you start your game as normal and play until someone on the network challenges you. in 1up play you can play without having any interruptions.

for challenging others some sort of vf tv interface would be cool showing lists of who's online and can be challenged...their ranking, ping ect.

finally after being challenged there should be an option for both players to re-challenge just like in arcade.

 

This idea was also stated exactly the same in the 1up show podcast that featured VF5, back in October. I personally like it.

Definitely, I loved PSO's lobby system, especially cuz you could talk to everyone; you met a lot of people that way.

If either of you start a petition, you've got my vote .

 

WTF you talkin about Willis?

 

At the very least they should have players change sides after every round and make the starting side placement random. This is how it should be done for all ranked matches.

 

Is it that strange for a person to be the same skill level on both sides?

 

No, it's not that strange. I had this issue once with Akira, but generally it doesn't matter for me which side I'm on. I know that some ppl are just not used to fighting on 2P side, so their input gets inacurate and slower when not on 1P side.
