SEGA Replies to the Console Petition

When a man has nothing, it is then he is most able to raise himself up. When we dream the things we wish for happen by magic. When we wake, we know without effort a man is less than nothing

Well, SSF4 is getting added content from owning original SF4 in the extra alternate costumes there is. You cant get all costumes in SSF4 without owning original SF4. Maybe Sega could do something similar. Allow the installation of the custom content from the earlier game on harddrive and import it to the new game.

Also a way to get around the space limitation of XBoxes HD DVD.

 

There was an article i read before somewhere where they had a feature interview with the CEO of Sega of (Europe? i think). It was some old white guy with white hair. From what i can remember about the article, they ask the guy about recent structural shifts in the organization about where they had fired 153 people from the company. The president in the dailogue he confirms that the company is going dropping alot of its (what they call) "wrapped package merchandise" (or some shit like that) and they're gonna start developing digital games (for psn, xbox live, iphone/ipad etc etc). Anyways i just reread this letter again and put 2 and 2 together, idk if anyone wants to dig up that article and link it, but i think that's what the letter is referring to when they talk about "conditions in the home console market." I don't think they really have the money to make a game that would sell so poorly over here. I mean they're gonna sell downloadable games! That's should be for independent developers or cheap ass remakes... Too bad, i don't think we're gonna see another VF game anytime soon.


(Sega of America is moving London, read the other articles)

Yeah, I'm a little worried about this response.

Why would you respond to a 500+ page petition, specifically asking for a console release of the latest VF game, by saying "we don't have any plans to release FS on console due to various issues surrounding the console market."

It's the EXACT opposite way you should go about answering your fans request to play your latest game.

Seriously, I am not very confident we will ever see this on console, whether people heard a rumor it was or not. That sounds like a pretty negative answer to me, let's not misconstrue what they said as being positive when it's either neutral, at best, or negative.

 

It already has been stated on why SEGA didn't mention a console version yet.

 

Haven't you learned anything from this thread yet?!

 

Hopefully Sega never release a new VF then I can move on to some other game. There's a lack of players (and of these players, a serious lack of competent players) on VF5, and nowadays I find myself playing Tekken more and more and even though there is an overload of bullshit in that game, it more than makes up for being able to play competent players.

 

I'm good enough to complain when all I see is random evade and 2P thrown in at whatever disadvantage.

I played someone like this the other day and just had to turn the game off.

No point in playing when your elbow gets beat at +5 to a 2P anyway, utterly pointless.

 

Hazzerone, dont give up yet, one game is not going to tell you who is "good" and who is "bad". winning is not all that matter. ask master po!

 

This response doesn't really feel me wit confidence... but I'm gonna go ahead and trust L_A.

 

Come on Sega WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO BRING THIS TO CONSOLES. Oh and I hope this will DESTROY TEKKEN 6!!!! Virtua Fighter 5 final showdown destroy TEkken 6. You hear me Sega, DESTROY TEKKEN 6.!!

 

Hope??? IMHO it already does!

 

Again, no reason for Sega to announce a console version before people have bought the arcade version.

Click the booths. Rumour says tecmos booth originally read "DOA 5".

 

you can't buy the arcade version even in japan.

 

I think the point was that you cant play/rent/or anything else related to arcade version outside Japan.

 

Then what sense does it make for Capcom to outright release SSFIV on the PS3 and 360 before even setting a release date for arcades? You are saying that Sega shouldn't even announce a console version yet because the arcade version isn't out. But Capcom put the latest version of SFIV out on consoles well before the arcade release. Maybe it's Sega who needs to learn from Capcom? Because Capcom certainly seems to know what it is doing with SFIV release wise.

 

Cause sales wise SF performs better on consoles?!

/me waits for next load of illogical shite talk
