Sweet, some actual hype to do with VF - it's been a while! I'll be tuning in.

This is Love right here. We've waited and waited and now we will be rewarded slighty. I wish i can be there along with my other fellow VFdc'ers on the streng that we could put on a exhibition for a little something as we get accustomed. This is a great day for us the hardcore but the bigger pic still remains.. We need more exposure and on a bigger scale. Somehow i can shake this notion that somehow Fuudo,Itabashi and Gamerbee can help in a major way. Trust and believe fuudo and Itabashi will LOVE to have VF5FS at Evo..

Finally a new Virtua Fighter on Consoles!! After 20 different Sonic games on consoles and handhelds, Sega eventually releases a virtua fighter. Im not a hater of Sonic but it's nice to have some Sega games without the hedgehog every few years.

GO HAUNT!!

Well in addition to that post on the events boards... I'm not to shy to humiliate myself at the livestream!

But most of all I'm hoping to meet more VFDCers there! That said, I wish the machine was on the PAX floor. Gameworks is often empty during PAX except for the after parties for like an hour...

Anyone have questions for the Q&A? I'll try to note some and even credit them. If given the chance I'll ask the ones I pick on the stream. I won't ask q's that were answered on the interview this week.

It's really nice to see Sega actually tryin' to promote their game.

- Will the game include a training mode, and if so will it have movement capture and replay like in SF4?

- The interview mentioned downloaded content for customization options, how much customization options will the default game include?

- Will the "story mode" be reworked or will it be similar as in current VF5 console version?

- how much room from console harddrive will the game propably take, if it is indeed digital distribution only?

- Capcom and Namco have co-operated a lot with players in marketing the game, including supporting various western tournaments. Will Sega ever do anything similar beyond Japan and Asia?

- Can the game be updated with online updates later on, particularly in terms of future versions of the game, or will each release always be a standalone?

Manjimaru's excellent questions noted

How extensive will the on line options be?

Will this include lobby support.

Will it have some sort of replay channel functionality? i.e. youtube uploading etc

Will we be able to turn off that god awful lobby music this time around when hosting or looking for matches?

Will there finally be a kick button in player match?


someone already asked about record mode so this is all I'm really concerned about lol

This is awesome, but has anyone tried getting this on the SRK front page yet? If not, I'll send over a tip.

Hi. I'm new here.

I just have one question:

- Will there be an online training mode; a mode that essentially lets you spar with human opponents without there being a depleting health-bar or a time limit?

I'm all but certain that the answer would be no, but I don't think it would hurt to ask.

Do any other games have this?

Not to my knowledge.

VF4:EVO on ps2 had that feature. That game was packed with tons of great features.

Technically, VF5 does too, as you can set the CPU settings to "Controller" in free training mode. I don't know of any games that include an online component to that, though.

Incorrect, VF4:E had no online functions.

Incorrect, VF4:E had no online functions. </div></div>

sorry i didn't notice the word online, but it did have that feature offline.
