VF5 360 stick coming out soon.

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802191

Being made by Hori. Expect a palette swap of the DOA4 stick. At least people won't have to break their backs trying to find a 360 stick now (for a little while hopefully).

 

This is good news for me. I don't have 360 but having a stick option will definatly help me ya know? *begins saving for one* Did they say if its going to be limited quantity?

 

my fears have dissapeared

 

"Exclusively for the Xbox 360 - The Virtua Fighter 5 Limited Edition Arcade Stick! Put the smack down on your friends in style with this, officially licensed and endorsed limited edition arcade stick."

Sounds like it'll be as short term as the DOA4 stick was. Game-specific sticks always tend to go out of supply quick.

 

That means the High Grades will probably not work with the X360s....now I have fears....

 

No HG? oh wells, mod time.

 

word - vshg's are too good to go back to hori sticks.

Unsafe_Dan, what controller are you going to use for the mod?

 

Wow, this is great news. Sure, it's not gonna be the best stick ever made, but think about it: there hasn't been a VF-related stick released in the US ever really (unless you count the DC sticks).

Interesting to note that this is happening the moment VF hits the 360, while all PS releases have gone w/ no stick.

With the ability to mod the DOA4 stick to Sanwa parts, people should be thrilled.

 

I'm too used to the VSHG now. Think i'm gonna try to figure out a way to mod it for the 360.

 

C'mon you're not hardcore unless you have the Saturn Virtua Stick Pro!!!

I'm kidding about that hardcore thing btw.

 

"With the ability to mod the DOA4 stick to Sanwa parts, people should be thrilled."

that a stick made and marketed for PS3 would work for the 360? I do not understand this. Yes, I am ranting. No, I'm not singling you out Kai. I've heard this hope from more than a few people and I don't get it. I know both systems take USB input - c'mon, though. Different PCBs!

 

No worries Plauge, no offense taken. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

The only reason I was considering is because hardware manufacturers have to get with the times. Let's take a look at what USB stands for.

Universal Serial Bus.

Well now, if it's supposed to be Universal, why doesn't it work on a Xbox360 USB port? Why does it work on a PC?

With these questions, of course I'm going to have high hopes that it would work on a X360.

I could go on and on about this, but in the end I think the companies are just too lazy and greedy to make it work for the gamers.

It would be awesome if the high grades end up working on 360s but if it doesn't I'm not going to bitch about it. I've made the decision of buying the PS3 sticks and I will take full responsibility in doing so.

lol the stick will be the doa stick with vf5 insignia instead of doa.



i hope it has more than 3 buttons

 

Because Microsoft is evil. A necessary evil but evil none the less.

 

a decent stick (speculating that its based on the doa4 stick, heard from rodney that its great) is coming for xbox360 so we can play vf5. thas all we need to hear! and its such awsome news!. i had this nasty feeling vf5 360 was gonna be stickless but now my fears have disapeared. (btw i also own the vshg..)

 

I was merely joking with that statement (tech humor) but on a serious note.

I hear that the only controllers that work on Xbox 360 have to have Microsoft's signature chip inside. If that is true, wishing for VSHG compatibility is a moot point.


NEway, back to jokes. VF 360 owners can probably use this! heh heh /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif

 

USB only means that a number of different types of signals can be sent through the bus. Audio, data, video can all be transmitted via USB as long as the system, such as a PC, is not only capable of recognizing what is being sent via USB, but allows it.

Microsoft isn't lazy at all, it's 100% greed behind the fact that X-Box 360 units refuse to recognize signals from non-MS approved devices.

Sure it would be possible to modify a VSHG with parts from a USB device with MS compliance...but that's certainly not easy. I would simply bite the bullet and buy a VF360 stick. The 360 sticks are designed SPECIFICALLY for the 360 AND for VF5.

 

Actually, I think you are wrong on this. I know I shouldn't be quoting Wiki, but they are pretty accurate:

"A major component in the legacy-free PC, USB was designed to allow peripherals to be connected using a single standardised interface socket, to improve plug-and-play capabilities by allowing devices to be connected and disconnected without rebooting the computer (hot swapping), and to allow specific classes of hardware to be used without requiring individual device drivers to be installed."

But with all things technology, this didn't end up happening now did it? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Bingo! We all knew this from the beginning.

Well, good thing I still have my DoA4 stick....which was the FIRST stick to work with VF5 on the X360. If it works.... heh. ;p
