Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Save++

When you boot up your VF 5 on your 360 you have to download a system update for the game to play online. This adds a couple of nice features!

*The possibility to save replays in ranked and player match.

*I can now see the connection of the person joining my game(ranked and player match) before I press READY. I still cant quit though, so if its grey, its grey and you know you r in for a laggy match.

*Your xboxlive gamerpicture appears below your healthbar when fighting in ranked and player match.

*When viewing a replay match the gamertag is not displayed (and not the gamerpicture either) so its basicly just a match between characters with no proof that you actually managed to beat say another human player heh. Apart from thats its the same as when you fought with customized characters. In replay you have no option to rewind or to freeze frame by frame. you can "play from beginning". You can turn on input and command display for both players.

*There is now a rematch option in regular player matches.

LAME... then again, im shit so this benefits me /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

 

Woot! There is now a rematch option in regular player matches.

 

It shows the player info on the loading screen at the start of the replay.

 

Hey here's the official info. It includes something pretty neat:

VF5 UPDATE AVAILABLE

Subtle Changes Improves the Perfect Fighting Game

LONDON (16th January, 2008) – SEGA Europe Ltd. today announced it has released a new downloadable patch for Virtua Fighter™ 5, the critically acclaimed arcade fighting game now available for the Xbox 360™ video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. The patch will include a number of gameplay additions and enhancements including:

* Some characters will now be able to select costume-specific pants in alternate costumes, for example equipping Costume A pants in Costume B.
* Replays of online battles can now be saved.
* One additional item per character (appear as "Downloaded item" in Costume settings/Item edit dialog).
* Gamer pictures will now be shown in online battles.
* After winning the World Tournament Final, it's now more likely that rivals you have not defeated will be playing in arcades.

* When someone joins an online match, you can now see their connection quality.
* Various fixes for minor bugs, including a texture bug.
* Easier sorting of rankings.
* Rematches in Online VS. Player Matches now possible even when the players haven't added their opponent to their friend list

The Xbox 360â„¢ version of Virtua Fighterâ„¢ 5 is based on the latest arcade version update and features both analog stick and D-pad control, as well as vibration support. The game also includes an improved Quest mode featuring more CPU rivals, items, and emblems for character customisation. The DOJO mode has added features including leaderboards, training move settings, improved throw escape training, and the option to change your opponent's position and recovery type. These all work to create a more refined DOJO mode where players can improve their fighting strategy.

 

OMG finally, costumes parts switching /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

i am very happy instead.

one thing i would like to ask is, whats the best method to capture replays and upload online.

can you view replays on VF.TV?

------

although i feel sorry for those who is still waiting for a PS3 patch. probably won't happen now.

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Hey wait, don't you all think it's gonna be harder to find random player match now with the "rematch" option?

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Nice stuff
Aoi got small drums on the hips btw.

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Hopefully SEGA would release Ver. D for the PS3 via a Download, and it will include a online option as well. But besides that, I'm glad SEGA released a update, I thought they gave up on us, lol! Finally, item swapping! Yes! So far, so good.

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Awesomenesss!!!

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Great stuff Sega for coming forward with these changes!!
Even though there still remains stuff to fix, this is a step in the right direction!!

btw... where is the 'official' Sega announcement if any?

 

Re: Virtua Fighter 5 System update feat. Replay Sa

Also: during rematched player match, there is now the challenger/champion text with win streak counter. If that was there before in private player matches, I never noticed it.

 

Wow, now i have a reason to play online!

 

One thing wasn't mentioned.

If you play a player match and request a remach you still are able to quit untill the socond player request as well.

I like this one. Too many times a was blocked because somebody had to go to toilet or was writing a message for 5 minutes.
