Discussion from "VF5R for console effort" thread

Even they do, they probably won't in sharp.....
At least Kamaage can do us a favor this time, no harm actually~

 

Rather than asking for VF5r for console which is already two years old in the arcades and many japanese players have not only mastered it but got bored of it as well, I'd like to ask sega to give us a simultaneous release of the next installment of virtua fighter (ie virtua fighter 6) whenever that might be. Personally, I think if vf5r comes out for console and does poorly, it WILL hurt the chances for the next game being released in a foreign market and I would rather not have that happen.


(bash away)

 

I can hear what everybody says in this thread and I really appreciate Kamaage's generosity, but I can't help agreeing with L_A. The VF communities in both Japan and US has become pretty small, and from a commercial perspective, I don't think SEGA will be willing to port VF5R to console. I believe that it is wise to expect them to develope the next VF game in the near future and bring it to console simultaneously.

 

Duh, and I agree but keep hope alive baby! (Sides letting us download VF5R can't hurt that bad)

 

Sorry to veer off subject but getting VF5r released in a best case scenario is a few million dollars once you factor in development, publishing and especially advertising. I'd say that money would be better spent towards something that will have a much larger profit margin.

 

I disagree with the idea we'd be better off waiting for VF6. I think the VF version we should want released for home consoles should be the most refined, complete version available. I'd rather have VF5R now and wait longer for VF6 than be stuck with an early version of VF6 that never gets updated. Besides, all the awesome work Sega has put into VF5R's customization is one of it's main selling points over vanilla VF5. If we wait for VF6 (and that's assuming there will be a VF6 in the near future) we'll be pretty much back where we started in terms of the game's appeal. But, if Sega is planning on releasing a VF5 Final Tuned or something like that, I'm all for waiting.

 

Nice Work, Myke.

Thanks again to Kamaage for doing this for us.

 

Well, there's the 100 pages. Now we wait.

Thanks to everyone involved in this, and special thanks Kamaage, Myke and El_Twelve for the layout.

 

Good work everyone and thanks to Myke for facilitating all things VF. I think we have really tried to make R a reality so at least we are fighting for what we all want.

 

Whats sad is Sega did'nt make a japanese console version. Remember back in the sega saturn era you can by imports and use the converter? Damn sega atleast give us this option.

 

Tomorrow will be THE DAY.
Believe in that!!!

 

Yup. Can ypu believe my imports of Fighting Vipers, Fighters Megamix and Last Bronx are still perfectly intact? Its a miracle , the way I keep things usually. I just rebought Fighting Vipers 2 and a Dreamcast stick for the old DC. But yeah man, you are absolutely right, back in the day, Arcade to Console ports were Sega's backbone. If they released a Dreamcast 2 in 2006 we wouldn't be in this mess. We'd have VF5R by like fall 2008. But hey , things will work out, and I still love my VF5 .

 

Thanks Myke for putting this together and BIGGER thanks to Kamaage-san for helping our community when he absolutely does not have too. You are awesome sir!

 

Im really interested how Sega will respond to that.
Hopefully this won´t end in a big disappointment.

But thanks to Myke and especially to Kamaage for their efforts.

 

We are looking forward any news update!!

 

Thanks Myke, just skimmed through the document, looking pretty hefty. Thanks and good luck to kamaage...even if this ends badly, I really just want to know what Sega has to say about it.

 

Thanks to the people who made it possible.

Great work !

 

I can't wait for the VF5R announcement tomorrow!!!
